One of my favorite movies with Redford is not mentioned much these days. It is Three Days of the Condor. He and Max von Sydow really make that movie work.

A truly wonderful actor and director who seemed in total control of everything that he did on screen. And yet, I would say that Redford's most important contribution to the world of cinema was his championing of independent film through his Sundance Institute and the film festival that it organised.

The only other movies I would personally add to it are: The Last Castle with Mark Ruffalo, and James Gandolfini (RIP) Spy Game with Brad Pitt Sneakers with Dan Aykroyd, Sidney Poitier (RIP), and River Phoenix (RIP)

My partner still says, "Step aside, Butch" when he thinks he can show me how it's done.

I just watched Quiz Show for the first time in over a decade on Sunday. Not only a great actor, but a great director as well.
