RIP Robert Redford

I feel like he deserves his own thread.

He made serious topics like grief and political corruption resonate with the masses, in no small part because of his own star power.

Loved him in "The Way we were"...I think a re-watch is in order.

R.I.P. I haven't seen all his movies, but of all I've seen I loved The Sting best.

 

[Cachoo]

When films become touchstones for memories:

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid; I saw it in my pajamas at a drive-in movie with my sister and my folks. I remember that my sister and I did not fall asleep. And we loved "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head."

The Sting: I went with my best friend. We were tweens. We didn't see the little surprise coming. We were delighted with this movie.

The Way We Were: Look he was a beautiful man. He took my breath away in that one.

All The President's Men: I was such a cynical teenager because of Viet Nam and Watergate. This remains one of my all time favorite films and I loved Redford and Dustin Hoffman in this.

Ordinary People: At the time I was moved by this film. I've haven't watched it as an adult.

There are so many other films in front of and behind the camera and Sundance and his conservation efforts. One of the greats.

The Natural and The Candidate were my mom’s favorite movies.
BC&tSK was mine. Forgot Jerimiah Johnson!
RIP Robert Redford.

His directorial work is exemplary. Ordinary People, River Runs Through It and Quiz are so wonderful.

He was and always will be one of the greatest of all time! R.I.P.

I loved Legal Eagles and was thinking about it just the other day. I thought he would live forever.

I always wondered how his son did after lived transplant. It was pretty new procedure at the time. I remember how Redford was so thankful for NE Medical Center.

Beyond his movies, which I went to many, his philanthropic activities were so important.

I adored Robert Redford. What an amazing talent and such a handsome man - my goodness.

My favourite of his movies is All the President's Men. I wore out a VHS copy from watching it so many times but I haven't seen it in years. Will definitely rewatch this week.

Loved him as a teenager and young woman and respected what he achieved with Sundance. Makes me smile that the last role I saw him in was secret head of Hydra. RIP.

He was such a great director as well as a movie star. And by all accounts a decent person too.

Probably my first big screen crush due to his Sundance character and to Downhill Racer. He was gorgeous. Loved him in so many other things, the last of which was Our Souls at Night. RIP to a beautiful and talented man.

He was such a great director as well as a movie star. And by all accounts a decent person too.

I was young when I saw "Ordinary People" and I remember how affected I was by it. Now, looking back, I admire his decision to cast America's sweetheart Mary Tyler Moore in one very unsympathetic role. And also Donald Sutherland as the gentle husband. He wasn't afraid to go against conventional wisdom.

My favorite Redford movie is Three Days of the Condor. Lots of good performances in that film.

My favorite Redford movie is Three Days of the Condor. Lots of good performances in that film.

That's my favorite too.

My mom and I totally loved Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and the soundtrack from that movie, Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head. Come to think of it, I remember my dad loved it, too, and he was a diehard Clint Eastwood fan.

RIP, Robert Redford. You are a legend.

Oh no! Rest in Peace and thank you for all the wonderful roles. The Sting is one of my favorite movies.

That gif from Jeremiah Johnson is so popular but do many who use it haven't seen the movie.

Please watch it, so amazing. What a talented human being. RIP.

Goodbye, Sundance

He narrated a sweet and funny interstitial segment for Turner Classic Movies about his friend Natalie Wood (they attended the same high school but became friends later through working together). They did 2 full films together ("This Property Is Condemned" and "Inside Daisy Clover") and she played his wife in a cameo role in his movie "The Candidate".

Actor, director, producer, humanitarian and visionary - a life well lived, and we are the better for it. RIP.

Yes he does.

One of the handsomest, charming, beloved actor.

I loved him in many of his movies. My favorite- Out of Africa. I even liked him as an old man turned thief/bank robber (I can’t remember the movie title).

RIP.

I had posters of him on my walls as a teen, lol! I saw Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, The Way We Were multiple times each.
