With Robert Redford passing away last week, I wanted to do a poll to honor him as a great actor. He is special to us here in Utah for his part in Sundance as well.

I have seen on the channel- The Sting, Jeremiah Johnson, The Natural, Sneakers, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and All The President's Men.

Here is a poll for some of his other great movies I look forward to watching!

I wanted to do the poll quickly, but will most likely not be watching the winner until November.

Comments

Jason Dolan

This is the closest I will ever get to an OUT OF AFRICA reaction unless I just produce one myself. Lol.

Rich Okinow

He directed A River Runs Through It, does not appear. Does some voice work.

Rosario Cicero

His performance was pretty flat in Out of Africa but I recently saw it so it’s fresh in my mind

Tara ✨💫

Robert Redford and romance equals The Way We Were. Cassie loves romance

Dominic Biondi

While Condor is good, you would enjoy Barefoot In the Park or Out Of Africa a lot more.

Alex Leach

The Last Castle - probably not the best film on the list but an enjoyable one, and a chance to see Redford up against the late James Gandolfini.

Above Average Dave

Thank you for this, Cassie — hope you are well! His best acting performances are probably THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR, OUT OF AFRICA and THE HORSE WHISPERER. His best directing is likely A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT , THE HORSE WHISPERER and ORDINARY PEOPLE (not on this list). We did lose a true movie star. If it matters, all of the above are Carly Approved™. God bless.

Mark Deadman

Three Days Of The Condor is the best one on the list.

Nathan Fares

Even though Robert Redford directed this movie I would have like to see ‘Legend of Bagger Vance’ on this list…

Alexander

All Is Lost, an underrated indie gem from 2013; but since it’s not here The Last Castle it is

TJ

The Last Castle is great.

Larry Darrell

Brubaker (1980) is such an amazing film, and I don’t think many people know about it. I’m surprised to even see it on this poll. I don’t remember anyone else but myself recommending it before. Thank You Cass, for including it.

Signe Urdskilde

Oh no, "An Unfinished Life" is missing - hope you will come around to it some time; it's a really beautiful film🥰 Meanwhile, looking forward to the winner of this poll😍

Tina P

Voted for Brubaker and Last Castle. Another one I love which is unfortunately not on the list is Up Close And Personal.

Tobias Eiken

Out of Africa! Please, please, please! Gorgeous nature, heavenly music and a great love story! Near perfect.

Shehab Dawoud

And it should've been on. Pretty obvious what the meaning of the post is.

Rick Rodriguez

Wow! Don't know if it'll last, but go Three Days in the lead!

Stick Figure Studios

Such a terrible loss for cinema. He was a legend. I was hoping you would do a Redford poll as there's still so many great films of his to see (and even some that aren't here), but of these I have to go with THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR, an excellent 1970s paranoid conspiracy spy-thriller. One of my dad's favorite movies and one of Redford's best.

Kirk Sloan

RR narrates and directs A River Runs Through It which I think is a wonderful little film that doesn’t get enough attention. It does star baby RR, Brad Pitt, with other memorable performances.

Zane From Canada

This makes me quite happy. I've been binging his movies since he passed. Just finished Legal Eagles (1986). Before that was The Last Castle (2001). I'm thinking The Chase (1966) next.

Above Average Dave

But then you have to endure Barbara Streisand and her over-acting.

Mark Deadman

All is lost is an amazing film. I was totally blown away by it when I saw it.

Matt Stafford

Cassie will love Barefoot in the Park whenever she gets around to it.

Antmovies

A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT you'll love, but that's him directing. Otherwise, THE WAY WE WERE is vintage Redford, even if Babs predators him in it. THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR is also a good choice. Spy stuff. 🙏🏼

Wolf and Cub Gaming

Not to mention, strangely relevant given the US political environment. At least as far as qualities of 'leadership'.

Joe J

Got my vote!

baz0348

Spy game it is was hoping "the great waldo pepper" would be on the list but no joy.

Steven Fordham

Barefoot in the Park was his break out role, with Jane Fonda. It's not to be missed, and is really the most important role in his career.

Nim

Redford in Spy game is just so good.

Brian's Dog

Spy Game, followed very closely by Three Days for the Condor. Brad Pitt really held his own with Redford in the former.

Jake McNulty

R.I.P. Robert Redford. Great Buch of films here Cassie, I know that whatever one wins you're going to love. Might I be so bold as to also suggest checking out "The Candidate", "Indecent Proposal" or "The Old Man and the Gun" in the future?

Stick Figure Studios

To my shame, I went through a phase in my adolescence when I thought Robert Redford wasn't a good actor. I never thought he was a bad actor and I grew up enjoying a number of his movies, but as I started dabbling in theater and did some performing myself, I became more interested in the art of acting and it was the performances that "blew me away" that I was drawn to: the grand ones, the ostentatious ones, the stunt acting. Actors who gained/lost weight (like Robert DeNiro or Christian Bale), actors who devoted so much of their craft to just "being" their characters (like Daniel Day Lewis or Dustin Hoffman,), actors who transformed themselves physically (like Marlon Brando or Al Pacino) or who could be so intense and histrionic (like Gary Oldman or Anthony Hopkins) were my heroes. They represented the peak of the art form in my eyes and what I tried to emulate in my own work. In other words, I fell in love with ACTING!!! I considered Redford one of those actors who had charisma and presence and, not least of all, dashing good looks, but who was merely adequate or serviceable in a film. It seemed to me that he always gave essentially the same performance in every role. Like Warren Beatty or Kevin Costner, he was a leading man who played some variation of his own onscreen persona in each movie. He didn't have the range or versatility that I admired. As I got older and wiser, my attitudes towards acting changed and I began to realize that it is so much more than just conspicuous performing. It was creating a reality. It was occupying a situation. It was finding the truth in any given moment and committing to it. It wasn't just making an audience believe what you were saying/doing, it was convincing them that you believed what you were saying and doing. Sometimes that involves larger-than-life behavior... and sometimes it involves more restraint: something quieter, more subtle, more ambiguous, more mundane even. I never noticed Redford's acting because he never drew attention to it. He just matter-of-factly did his thing and consequently carried so many good stores with his dedication and verisimilitude. He was (wait for it) a natural. Redford himself even said, "I think 'quiet' sometime is a greater power than noise. It can harbor and reveal feelings that can't be expressed." There are numerous wonderful moments throughout his career one could highlight; serious scenes and funny scenes (because he could also do comedy beautifully), but the one I want to focus on in tribute to him today is one of his more recent ones from a film where he was only a supporting character. In Disney's 2016 remake of PETE'S DRAGON, Redford plays the elderly father to the Bryce Dallas Howard park ranger character who takes in a lost boy she found in the forest. She starts to suspect that he may not have been alone out there but was being protected by some kind of mythical beast. I loved the 1977 film as a kid and was intially skeptical of a remake, but as the filmmakers wisely decided to do something completely different from the wild, over-the-top musical, I gave it a chance and ended up really liking it. It took a more somber and "realistic" approach to the fantasy. In the scene where Howard asks her father about the incredible experience he had in those same woods when he was younger, Redford makes a fantastic speech about going out hunting one day and seeing a dragon by a stream. He is so scared that he raises his gun to shoot it but is stopped by some inner compulsion not to. He describes the feeling with one word: magic. He repeats that word again with a kind of casual reverence, a calmness and understanding that is very credible. It's a superb performance because Redford is saying some of the most implausible -- even outright corny -- things, but he says them with such conviction, such self-awareness of how they sound -- but without condescending to the material -- that you believe he believes it. This scene and his delivery of those words grounds the whole narrative. He lends dignity and weight to the fantastical elements simply by inhabiting the skin of an ordinary guy who had an encounter with something extraordinary. Not many actors could pull that off. I can't find a good quality video clip of it online, but I encourage to check out the movie (as it's charming) and pay attention to that sequence. When you combine Redford's acting talent with his directorial prowess and his support of younger independent filmmakers, you have someone who contributed immeasurably to the world of cinema. His effect on audiences throughout his career, both in front of and behind the camera, can only be described in one word: Magic.

Veiled Gaming

The Horse Whisperer, Spy Game, and The Electric Horseman are all so good, you'll love them. Also haven't seen anyone react to these movies yet.

Wolf and Cub Gaming

Redford does a fantastic job of representing the 'concept of our grandfathers' during their era, as a remembrance of their lives and journey. He just embodies that 'past man'.

Jeff Rogers

Not my absolute favorite of his, but you know how much she would love the electric horseman.

Stick Figure Studios

Love THE CANDIDATE. One my favorite closing lines in all of cinema.

Mark Deadman

Quiz Show is one that you should watch. He's not in it but he directed it and it's just a brilliant film.

Albert Carlson

Electric Horseman is an all time favorite. Jane Fonda at her best too.

Rick Savage

Three Days of the Condor is really good. And it also has a lot of other really good actors in it from that time period. Plus a fun/quirky love angle.

Stick Figure Studios

There are several great Redford films not on this poll: THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER, THE HOT ROCK, ALL IS LOST, etc.

Carlos Molina

I was hoping Indecent Proposal would be on the list. Since it’s not I’ll vote for Spy Game.

Aaron G

Company you keep, An unfinished life.

Clay F

I voted Brubaker 1980 (currently last place).

Keith Jones

Disappointed that “The Great Gabsy” didn’t make this list it is one of the most faithful adaptations of a book I’ve ever seen. As it’s my favorite book love it

Ken Schneyer

I voted for Three Days of the Condor, but Barefoot in the Park and The Way We Were are also great performances by him. Also, the latter two are a romantic comedy and a melancholy love story, respectively, and I think you'd enjoy them. Three Days of the Condor is a spy thriller, and a great one, but maybe you'd like the other ones better.

Story Archer

You know that The Horse Whisperer being set in Montana will be near and dear to Cassie's heart, and the story behind Brad Pitt and Robert Redford in Spy Game will be totally up her alley as well. I hope Carly manages to come for at least one or two of these!

Alexander

Me too, that is a film that stays with you

Joseph M Sica

Wait Wait Wait Wait, and The Natural isn't in this list why?! /sigh Guess I'll go w/ Last Castle or Three Days. All his movies are good though! Hope every ones doing well! RIP

Andrew Mote

Spy Game is so underrated! Followed by Three Days of the Condor

Doc Larry/old geezer

The Horse whisperer The Electric Horsemen even though they have horse in the title, they are two very different movies. You’ll enjoy them both.

Shawn Kildal

Ordinary People is actually his most acclaimed movie he was a part of. He didn't act in it, but he directed it. It won Best Picture and Redford won Best Director.

Dan M

Man, he’s starred in or directed so many fantastic films. How about you just react to each one of these, one a month starting in November. If not, then I’ll go with The Horse Whisperer, which he stars in, and A River Runs Through It, which he directed. Both are perfect for Tender November, and both are perfect for you and Carly. RIP Mr. Redford.

Mitchell

There’s also Up Close and Personal which I haven’t seen but I know it’s a love story with Michelle Pfeiffer. I’m sure Cassie will want to add it to her list.

Joseph M Sica

Well aren't I right on top of things! Kekek

Andrew Mote

Also “Old Man and the Gun” should be on this list.

Adam Doyle

You absolutely would love A River Runs Through It, though Redford was just the director and not an actor.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

Little known fact: When Robert Redford founded the Sundance institute, he created a two week Film Director Trainee placement; A chance for aspiring, fledgling filmmakers to present their own scripts and ideas to some established Hollywood directors. One such applicant to get onto this placement was a young Quentin Tarantino who pitched his script for his first film, Reservoir Dogs (1992) to six directors, one of whom was Terry Gilliam! Quentin talks about it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NG_DGFc7_Y and here is Terry Gilliam talking about Quentin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMbTxbOOc7I

mikethemotormouth

Was hoping to see some of his directing credits in the poll as well. Quiz Show(1994) is pretty great and his first directing credit, Ordinary People(1980), won 4 Oscars including Best Picture. If that's not a hole in one, you tell me what is

Story Archer

Both Horse Whisperer and Spy Game are on my 'Top 25 Must-Watch for Cassie and Carly'... actually, the little-known 'Up Close and Personal' is on there too, but way down towards the bottom.

Henry Graham

Write-in for Quiz Show! Such a classy, intelligent and beautifully acted film. Redford's best as a director and there is no way on earth that Cassie won't absolutely love it.

Effy

Yes Ordinary People, one of my favorites.

Shawn Kildal

My hope (from what is listed) is either Three Days of the Condor or A River Runs Through It (which Cassie would probably swoon over). Redford isn't in it, but he directed it an narrates throughout it.

Thomas P Hamilton

Thanks, Cassie for doing this poll. I voted for The Three Days of the Condor. The book version of the story is The Six Days of the Condor. I enjoyed the book a lot.

Story Archer

Dark horse for sometime down the road - Up Close & Personal with Michelle Pfeiffer. I don't know many people who have ever seen it, but it's a great romance / mentorship drama that really lets you enjoy both of them.

Troy Silvester

Man, I am stunned to see Condor get this much love so far! It is one of my all time favs. Based on a book 6 days of the Condor, I was always expecting a sequel. A series was made, but I was not a big fan.

Dan Campbell

He' got many good films. But my favorite is Sneakers. Mostly because it's a fun movie with an all star cast.

Wayne McKinney

These are all good movies and I voted for "The Horse Whisperer" because I think it's a story Cassie & Carly will enjoy. But the one I would really like to see them watch is not on the list: "The Hot Rock". Most probably have never heard of it but, it's a Heist/Comedy and is truly a fun watch. May I make it as a suggestion for Cassie's Popcorn Pick of the Month?

Tom Osbrink

The Horse Whisperer was a great performance, I know you would absolutely love it. Pulls all the heartstrings as he mentors a young girl and her traumatized show horse through injury and heartbreak after a tragic riding "accident ". Romance, family dynamics, healing, redemption and all heart. Please see this!

Gregory M Casey

As @Dan Campbell pointed out, Sneakers really should be on your list of must watch movies. It's my favorite, then Three Days of the Condor.

Troy Silvester

I'd pick those in the opposite order!

Allen W. McDonnell

My favorite Redford movie is missing. You need to see Sneakers ASAP!

Wayne McKinney

My favorite line from "The Hot Rock": "I've heard of the habitual criminal, of course, but I never thought I would become involved with the Habitual Crime."

Raieldon

I saw Spy Game in the theater and don't remember much of it. But I've wanted A River Runs Through It atop the Cassie-tailored column for a long time.

Robert Baldino

IMO, Three Days of the Condor shows its age a bit. It's very slow by today's standards. Spy Game would be a much better watch, and you get Brad Pitt! And while Redford isn't actually in the movie, A River Runs Through It is a beautiful film.

Above Average Dave

I didn't think anything on the planet could get me to hate the lead actress, Effy. 30 minutes in, I loathed her. That is the mark of a great actress and superior direction.

Henry Graham

My favourite line from Anthony Lane's classic review of Indecent Proposal is when he responds to Moore's character saying in the film "It's just my body, it's not my mind" with "it does raise an interesting question: How much would you pay for an evening with Demi Moore's mind?"

MaggieS61

Voted for The Horse Whisperer and Out Of Africa. Cassie would LOVE The Horse Whisperer, and Out of Africa is both Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. Doesn’t get any better than that!

Andrew Mote

She said in the post she’s already seen Sneakers.

Milton Reduxed

Brubaker is the best movie on here imo

Brent Petty

She's reacted to it already. :)

Bob Amaden

I'm glad people are voting for Three Days of the Condor! An enjoyable movie. A River Runs Through It sure is pretty though.

Brent Petty

She's reacted to Sneakers already. :)

James Choy

Cassie. Last castle.

Darren Harrison

Met the guy who played the assassin at the beginning of the film at a fan convention years ago. The line to meet him was one of the longest so I think you’ll find the movie has its fans.

Variable38

She already has a reaction to it. She even said it in what she wrote in the post, before the poll.

Variable38

She already has a reaction to it. She even said it in what she wrote in the post, before the poll.

Henry Graham

Yeah, great suggestion! I love Donald Westlake and that film really nails the vibe of his novels.

Javier Hernandez

OUT OF AFRICA for the scenery alone! He's a supporting character in that one but you also get Meryl Streep. Its just such a good movie! You could do a Redford/Fonda double feature with BAREFOOT IN THE PARK when they were both young and beautiful and then again in THE ELECTRIC HORSEMAN when they began to age a little. I don't remember him in A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT but he is the director. Maybe Cassie's way of getting a Brad Pitt movie in there. Ha! Of course, SPY GAME you get Rob and Brad together.

Matt Rowland

Three Days of the Condor. Outstanding movie.

Bill W

All The President's Men because it has Dustin Hoffman. (not a big Redford fan.)

Bill Maurer

Three Days of the Condor !! Great movie

Javier Hernandez

ScarJo broke my heart a little in that one. When she asks her mom, what boy is going to want her in her condition? Sad.

Matt Rowland

Cassie, knowing you and Carly, there is a film not on here that you both would like: Up Close and Personal. It's a chick flick, but a really good story.

Dryfesands

Three Days Of The Condor is up there with Day Of The Jackal in the great thrillers stakes

Catherine LW

I agree. Quiz Show has great writing and acting with Ralph Fiennes and the brilliant Paul Scofield. True story of a tv quiz show scandal back in the 50’s. Martin Scorsese cameo.

Javier Hernandez

Shocked, shocked, that that movie is not on this list. Redford and Pfeiffer .... mmm so hot.

Matt Rowland

Completely agree. It was a hidden gem from the mid 90s. Saw it in high school, I wanted to be a journalist and this movie just hit home.

Ria Grix

Ah bum! Barefoot in the Park is losing again. It’s such a sweet romantic comedy, Cassie would love it. Robert Redford and Jane Fonda at their most beautiful.

Michael T

Here's another way to honor Robert Redford... by reacting to ORDINARY PEOPLE (1980), which he directed — winner of four Academy Awards, including Best Picture!!

Mac61

In the movie A River Runs Through It, he is only the Narrator and director; he does not act in it. So if you want to see him, best pick a different movie.

Patrick Gibbs

Spy Game is one of my all time favorites! Excellent story telling by Brad Pitt and Robert Redford!

Mike Vickers

Give your affinity for his co-star Brad Pitt win or lose Cassie, you must watch "Spy Games".

Mark Vaderr

Meh. Indecent Proposal is nothing special.

Joe J

She's seen the movie, it's on the channel.

Robert Durant

Out of that list I pick Spy Game and The Last Castle.

Catherine LW

I recently rewatched Three Days of the Condor and realized that this was just a vehicle for watching Faye Dunaway and Redford having sex. They could have cut that whole part in half. Ruined the film for me.

Irby

The last Castle is amazing with him and James gandolfini

Stick Figure Studios

Maybe that will be a second poll as she said she wants to honor his acting in this particular poll.

JFC

Whatever the results of this poll, I'd almost treat it as which order to watch these movies in than which one to watch. Maybe just revisit this every once in a while and watch the next one. Out of Africa keeps losing polls because not a lot of your viewers have ever seen it, but it's right up your alley - an epic, award-winning, love story starring Redford and Meryl Streep, with beautiful cinematography, and a soaring score. I think you even mentioned it's one of your mom's favorite movies. It would be perfect as a popcorn pick of the month to watch with Carly.

Stephen Minor

Horse Whisperer....do yourself a favor and watch this one

David Cassidy

A River Runs Through It. One of my favorites. Great story behind it involving Robert Redfort and how he got the rights to the book.

Chad Laurence

The Last Castle is pretty good actually.

John Sinclair

From what you haven't watched, my favorite is probably Brubaker. Out of Africa is really good and Three Days of the Condor. I love a River runs through it, but he only directed it. Maybe did some narrating. You don't actually see him in it.

edgecenter

Ya, Horse Whisperer with Jane Fonda And Willy Nelson.....

Mark T

My vote is for Brubaker. It has a great cast and it's based on events of a true story and Cassie loves a movie based on true stories.

JohnnyUtah

Spy game is great, I need a win!!!

Mark Vaderr

While Redford & Pfeiffer are both good in Up Close & Personal, the story itself is just okay.

Gray

I prefer the Peep Show version with Johnson :D

Bill W

Oh yeah, I forgot. I actually watched it. Idk why I don't remember watching it.

Chris Thom

Cassie just want to make sure you know that Redford isn't in A River Runs Through It. But he did direct it. Great film.

Gray

I'll pick Spy Game dispite not seeing it, The Last Castle is only one on that poll i've seen and I wasn't the biggest fan of it tbh even though I do like the cast.

Michael Lewis

Many great movies on this poll but based on watching your channel for a long time, I'm pretty sure that "Out of Africa" will be the one film listed here you will enjoy the most.

Christian Rennie

C’mon Redford narration and Brad Pitt A River Runs Through it is my pick.

Wesley White

I was saddened to hear his passing just as much as all of us! He is a great actor and a legend in his own right like Paul Newman and many others! My vote is for "The Last Castle" which is probably my all time favorite movie he's ever done! Non/Minor spoiler, Redford plays an Army General senteneced to a military prison who defy's a corrupt Army Colonel who's also the warden played by the late James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano) and I will leave it at that! I really love that movie and I know you will too when you eventually watch it! Aside from "The Horse Whisperer", I haven't seen any of other films before! Good choices Cassie, thanks so much for the birthday wishes during your "The Accountant" premiere, so far I'm having a great birthday today, you're an angel Cassie, love and support always, and God bless y'all and the family🥰😇🙏🎂🥳🎊🎉🤗😉✌🌹

Chris Thom

Oh I forgot he narrated.

Clay F

Good comments.

Gregory M Casey

Thanks, I read the post twice before commenting, the 2nd time specifically looking to see if she said she'd seen it. Doh!

Steve Mercier

Coool...nice to see Spy Game up there, if only because I think it's the one you'll like the most. Good stuff!

Jason Sturgeon

If mine doesn't get picked you should check the last castle and sneakers his best movies

Chris Thom

Multiple movies here worth a watch. I think any of them would be good to win here. But hope you give some of the others a chance too, because I would imagine you would quite like them. Personally voted for Out of Africa, Horse Whisperer, A River Runs Through It, and The Way We Were. Also, Ordinary People, which he directed but wasn't in, won him Best Director and Best Picture at the Oscars.

edgecenter

hahaha I was thinking of The Electric Horseman! duh! Stupid I know. hahaha

Chris Thom

He had so many good ones over his career. A bit surprised Ordinary People wasn't listed, considering it won Best Picture.

Dan M

😂😂😂

fastecp1

Spy Game and The Last Castle are my first two picks. I'm surprised that Brubaker only has 49. I saw it at the theater when it first came out; it was an excellent film. I would have also added An Unfinished Life with Morgan Freeman and Robert Redford to the poll; it is one of those underrated movies that no one ever talks about. As much as I love the movie A River Runs Through It, Robert Redford only narrates; he's not in it.

Christian Rennie

Maybe off-steam or one with Carly. I suggest Legal Eagles (1086) as a Mystery/Romantic Comedy with Robert Redford, Deborah Winger, and Daryl Hannah. One of my favs from my childhood.

Shawn Kildal

I'm of the opinion Cassie would loathe Indecent Proposal just on the premise of the movie itself.

Paul Sutton

Spy Game has always been a favorite of mine. Great movie.

Shehab Dawoud

@Shawn Probably but there has to be room for those types of movies too.

Jonathan Caro

Let’s get a cool 70s espionage thriller going: THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR.

arkicone

Three Days of the Condor...John Houseman, Cliff Robertson, Faye Dunaway, Max von Sydow. A series based on it, was a recent tribute and excellent watch. This is a fish out of water type thriller that leaves you wondering what's next. Excellent twist at the end.

Dan M

Totally agree with you

Jens Kristensen

"Three Days Of The Condor" for the win - Brilliant movie - Robert Redford at the height of his career ...

Dan M

I said the same. If enough people ask, who knows?

Dan M

So how about one movie that he directed and one movie that he starred in? That’s why I voted for The Horse Whisperer and A River Runs Through It.

Mike Redford

R.I.P to another acting legend. He and Paul Newman are pulling one more con up there somewhere. That's all I could think about when he passed, hearing "The Entertainer" playing in my head. For the poll, my vote's on spy game. Haven't seen it in a while.

BriGuy

I can't even wrap my arms around the fact that (currently, at least) "The Last Castle" has more than twice as many votes as the romantic classic "The Way We Were", given that in a ranking of Redford's entire filmography, Last Castle probably belongs in the bottom five, and The Way We Were in the TOP five. The only thing I can attribute this to is that PIB's overall audience is a couple of decades younger than myself, and that most have never seen it. Which is exactly why you should watch it -- so that not only you, but your viewers, can be introduced to this iconic movie ! (Btw, Cassie, you would never need to bring your Swoon Cam to a viewing of " Last Castle", but you most certainly WILL need it if you screen "The Way We Were" ... jJust sayin'.

Mark Vaderr

I have been begging for "Barefoot in the Park" for some time now. It's a fun romantic comedy with great writing and a couple of delightful performances from Mildred Natwick & Charles Boyer. "The Electric Horseman" is another good film, and shows how good Redford was with director Sydney Pollack. "Brubaker" is very good, but mostly a forgotten movie, unfortunately. "The Last Castle" has good turns from Redford & Gandolfini, but I found it to be just average. "The Horse Whisperer" is good not great. Redford feels natural in that film, while Kristen Scott Thomas feels miscast. "Out of Africa" has great cinematography, but as a movie, I find it to be quite bland. I concur with several people on "Ordinary People" and "Quiz Show". Both are outstanding movies, and we see that Redford was very good behind the camera as well.

Big Lazy Dragon

I picked 'Three Days of the Condor', which I think is one of Redford's best movies. But there's one Redford movie that you seemed to have missed, and I already checked the Letterboxdb to see if Cassie had already watched it (she hadn't). It's called 'Legal Eagles' (1986), and it stars Redford, Debra Winger & Daryl Hannah. It's a romantic-comedy/thriller where Redford plays an assistant district attorney who gets involved with a defense attorney (Winger) whose flaky performance artist client (Hannah) is accused of attempting to steal a valuable painting from a millionaire whom she accuses of being involved in the death of her father years earlier. It's not one of Redford's most well-known movies, but it does have an interesting storyline, and it does have all sorts of interesting twists & turns to it that keeps you guessing who the real bad guy is.

LoneStar Avenger

A bunch of these are love stories. Do they really need to be on a poll?🤷‍♂️

A Walk in the Woods • 2015 ‧ Adventure/Comedy ‧ Can we react to this R.R. motion picture ‽ 🥾⛰️🎒🥞🏕️

Chris Thom

I've seen a couple scenes from Horse Whisperer and heard some of the Thomas Newman score, but I've never actually sat down to watch the whole thing. Saw a comment above that said he narrated River Runs Through It, but I'd totally forgotten about that.

Chris Thom

Same. That was the first RR movie I ever saw.

Chris Thom

I had never heard of Electric Horseman until Clarence suggested it a few months ago or so. And then again for this poll. Had never heard of Brubaker.

Clay F

Top 2 in current results. -Three Days Of The Condor 1975 (watched once) -Spy Game 2001 (watched a few times) Bottom 4 in current results. -The Way We Were 1973 -Barefoot In The Park 1967 -The Electric Horseman 1979 -Brubaker 1980 (last place) (I voted -- watched a few times)

Matt

All Is Lost 2013 & The Old Man and The Gun 2018 are some great late career highlights too, RIP 🙏

Cathleen Jennings

Yeah - that was the moment I knew I liked older men lol

Chris Thom

Getting the sense that the biggest chunk of voters is Gen-X and Millennials, and sometimes turnout is bigger or smaller depending on the poll. Just a guess.

Stephen Dias

Years ago, I saw a live production of "Barefoot in the Park" and loved it. The movie was pretty good too, as I recall. As I expected, though, it's not leading.

Chris Thom

He definitely had a FULL career. Reading these comments reminded me how prolific he actually was.

Chris Thom

My TV suggested that to me right after he died. Was wondering if it was any good.

Chris Thom

Young Demi Moore not too bad either.

Myra Jean

I can"t recommend Barefoot In the Park enough. Redford's great in it, and it's right down your ally in terms of movies you love.

Rodney Holgado

Barefoot in the Park is a classic romantic comedy with Jane Fonda. You'll like it!

J D

It is a must see . 🫠 It would be really awesome if P.I.B. made a reaction to it . 🥶 It would do so well . 🧭

Michael Dougherty

the way we were seems just your cup of tea. and for romance and action...out of africa.

Callie Stephen

You can’t go wrong with any of these. My top three favourites amongst the list would be Out of Africa, The Way We Were and The Last Castle, but honestly, I don’t think you would be disappointed in any of these. I’d also add Indecent Proposal to the list as he’s just gorgeous in it and you’d probably love it.

Tanggor

Such a body of work. I guess (for obvious reasons) it must be limited to well known selections. Alas, The Great Waldo Pepper is not among them. I remember seeing it in the theater as a kid. Directed by George Roy Hill (same director for Butch and Sundance). Hill had a great personal passion for those planes. The film goes on a bit longer than it needed to, but it was worth the watch. Spawned some great lines, of which the following is my favorite: "I thought, you are very stupid, but you are very brave, so someone else will have to kill you."

Chris Thom

Feel like that may've been a novel. Think I read it at some point.

Samuel Champ

These are all good films, can't really go wrong. Two of my favorites that didn't make the list. Legal Eagles and The Hot Rock.

Matt Stafford

The Candidate is one of the great (underappreciated) movies of the 70s. Directed by Michael (Bad News Bears) Ritchie!

CherryPi

Legal Eagles is clearly missing here! You'd love it! From the poll I chose Out of Africa because it's an absolute classic and Meryl Streep is also magnificent in it. Runner-up is Brubaker, not many know it but it's an important film. Of his earlier works I also really like This Property is Condemned with the beautiful Natalie Wood.

Kawaii Leonard

I must have a Robert Redford blind spot in movies because I haven't seen any of these...

Elizabeth Anne Jackson

A River Runs Through It is amazing. Up Close and Personal is a great romance film with him and Michelle Pfeiffer. There’s a great movie with Redford and Morgan Freeman called An Unfinished Life.

Xavier Casanova

Cassie should just watch The Way We Were with her sis. While not my favorite Robert Redford film, it's tailor made for them.

TigerMyth

You have seen his acting. Check out his Directing. Ordinary People That is what you should watch. Quiz Show. A River Runs Through It. You actually do need to watch Ordinary People.

Long-time Sci-Fi Enthusiast

I hope (Three Days Of The Condor 1975) goes on to win, as I have been recommending it to reactors for sometime. As well as a star performance from RR, it features Faye Dunaway, Max Von Sydow & Cliff Robertson. The latter will be more well-known now as Uncle Ben in Spiderman 2002, however, had a long career in films. Max Von Sydow became a favourite Actor of mine, as it seemed whatever he was in was lifted by his presence. My 2 favourite films starring Faye Dunaway are the 1967 (Bonnie & Clyde) & the 1968 (The Thomas Crown Affair).

Grad

Yup.

To Wa

Very pleased Three Days of the Condor is killing it!

Grad

Sticks: "I think QUIZ SHOW is his best directing work." 10/10 camera angles

Whatwhere

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is also a Redford movie, in my opinion. 🤣

Pat Waters

If you like the first Mission: Impossible movie, definitely check out Three Days of The Condor

Grad

+1 Arguably his greatest contribution.

Caomhan84

Spy Game is currently free on YouTube. Cassie would love it

Clay F

I like Faye Dunaway in Network (1976) [AFI Top 100].

Just Plain Bob

In case Cassie happens to check this thread, wanted to give her a heads up on the new Glen Powell tv series upcoming on Hulu. Based on Eli Mannjng’s infamous prank, walking on to the Penn State Nittany Lions as Chad Powers, it’s the show of the same name. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_nFZMD8FMM0

Shawn Kildal

IMO Ordinary People should be an automatic viewing in a tribute watch for Redford. First movie he ever directed a won multiple Oscars for it.

rtt143

Unfinished Life is good too

Scott

While it's not one of his classic films, and maybe not one for this poll, I think Cassie would enjoy Legal Eagles

Just Plain Bob

PS to above: Very pleased to see “Three Days of the Condor” doing so well. IMO it’s the best of a poll loaded with good choices. I also recommend “Rubicon”, a tv series starring James Badge Dale (“The Pacific”). Somewhat similar premise for a smart show that was cancelled far too early.

Shawn Kildal

Redford's name was inconspicuously absent during it's film credits though.

Scott

It's a legal-investigative rom-com co-starring Debra Winger and Darryl Hannah and is right in Cassie's wheelhouse

Shawn Kildal

It is, but Cassie has seen it.

Hershey

This was a very tough question young lady. Brubaker, Three days of the Condor, and The last Castle would be my choices.

Brian's Dog

This is a good poll to do the winner and runner up in my opinion. Eventually you need to see all these though.

Hershey

Everyone has such a strong opinion on what to watch or his best. This leads me to think we can all agree he was and always will be a legend forever. What an actor!

Clay F

All Is Lost 2013 & The Old Man and The Gun 2018 are good.

Tucker'doodle Love

He directed “A river Runs Through it” (but is not an actor in it) a thoroughly exquisite film. I know you’d love this film. Its an absolute classic must watch. Plus its Brad Pitt in the lead -which I know you’ll find agreeable.

Chris Thom

Classic. And a Best Picture winner.

K10

What no "The Great Waldo Pepper" :(

Blane

"I have seen on the channel- The Sting, Jeremiah Johnson, The Natural, Sneakers, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and All The President's Men."

Nicholas

I VOTE FOR SPLIT

Morgan A. Colbert

I'm going to go make Legal Eagles my popcorn pick. I think you'd really like it.

Cole Jennett

Did you read her post? She has already reacted to it on the channel

JAKH

Only 1 movie worth my time to re-watch with Cassie: "Three Days of the Condor"

Lamar Savage

As an old man, this is the first poll of yours I've seen where EVERY film listed is not only well worth watching, but superb quality as well. :)

2-Can

I have a feeling that The Way We Were would be An Officer And A Gentleman- level disappointment. Thinking it is another 70s hit that wouldn’t hold the same appeal today. Fortunately none of the women I knew back in the day are likely to know I said this.

Erik Locquiao

I love spygame. So good. You should check out “The Legend of Bagger Vance” Redford directed that.

Jeanette

Time for a classic love story with The Way We Were. We need more women voting for variety of movies.

Terry Yelmene

The comments made here about the missing choice of '✓ ALL of the Above' are so genuinely valid. Robert Redford was a brilliant movie star, not because of the movies he said "yes" to, he was the giant of the industry because of those he said "no" to. He 'Selected' the stories/projects that spoke to him... and he had VERY GOOD taste. I don't know if he starred in, directed, or produced a bad movie. I couldn't pick just one, so... I thought of Cassie... and chose; 'Horse Whisperer', 'The Way', and 'A River Runs'

Terry Yelmene

@rtt143 - I couldn't agree more. The performances of J-Lo and Morgan Freeman were standouts in their careers as well. Even the bear was great!

Terry Yelmene

I don't know if that's in Cassie's lane, but I would be intrigued to see the react!

Terry Yelmene

I don't know if Kristen Scott Thomas was such a bad choice in 'Whisperer', it's just the character she plays is kind of 'awful!'

Doug Fisher

Had to go with my personal favorite "The Electric Horseman". Movie has just about everything in it and one I know Cass would appreciate.

Terry Yelmene

I agree, But either way... it will just be a right of passage moment for Cassie (and hopefully Carly) as self-acknowledged 'romantic movie lovers' that they get to experience the two greatest 'romantic' classic movies of the boomer generation; 'Love Story' (1970) and of course, 'The Way We Were' (1973). Tribute to Robert Redford or not, those reactions simply HAVE TO HAPPEN! Cassie / Carly - ASK YOUR MOM about those!!!

Chris Thom

True. He was selective in the best way.

Terry Yelmene

Hands down - Up Close and Personal IS definitely Cassie's type

Terry Yelmene

Hard to argue - Cassie would love 'Whisperer'

Johnny Bullis

The Sting should be on this list..

Sometimes

she listed the 6 movies of his she has already reacted to. its ok. I missed it too.

Thomas Persson

Spy Game is a must, a must! Oh no, I need to be a subscriber to vote.

Thomas Meredith

Cassie, you should watch "The Great Gatsby" with Redford - it's much better than the Luhrmann/DiCaprio version.

Birdie Num Num

FYI, Barefoot in the Park, Downhill Racer, The Candidate, The Great Gatsby, This Property Is Condemned, Sneakers, All Is Lost are all free on youtube

Rakesh

All is lost didn't make the final cut. Pity. No chance it would have won, but for those of you that might watch it, its very good.

James Ellis

One of his best is not on the list - An Unfinished Life

Mike Carey

There's so many great movies I know my choice won't make it but I've always loved "The Last Castle" and think it's very underrated. Maybe you can consider it for down the road if it doesn't win

David Kaplan

I chose Three Days , but I was hoping to see lesser known films like Downhill Racers or The Great Waldo Pepper

Meng

Shame The Candidate isn't there, so I went for Three Days.

Terry Yelmene

Redford directed Bagger Vance? - Oh that's easily one of Will Smith's best performances!

Simmeland

Three Days of the Condor is overall a good movie, but, without spoiling anything, there’s one particular scene that ruins it so much that I have no desire to watch it again. I would have liked Ordinary People to be on the list. He didn’t star in it, but he directed it and won an Oscar for it, and it’s a fantastic movie.

I R NEO

The Hot Rock is another good movie of his to watch

Above Average Dave

Speaking of Utah and Sundance, by his own admission, DOWNHILL RACER was his favorite movie as an actor. It co-starred the late, great Gene Hackman. Perhaps for a Sports Movie poll in the future. The Wall Street Journal did a story on that film after Redford's passing and said it still holds up well.

Catherine LW

I think I know what you mean. Ruined the film for me too and I never want to see it again too. Unnecessary.

Byrd N. Hand

"This Property Is Condemned," "The Chase," "Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here," "The Candidate," and/or "The Hot Rock" as well.

Byrd N. Hand

I've never seen Luhrmann's version, but I don't doubt it. He's kind of all style and no substance for me. 🤷‍♂️

Richard Maurer

Guess we’re watching 3 days of the Condor. Got no problem with that.

Byrd N. Hand

He *does* narrate the film, though, as an older version of the main character.

Byrd N. Hand

I feel it's more remembered for its theme song than anything else. 🤷‍♂️

Joe J

I hope so.

Richard Maurer

It’s over 100 votes ahead of the film in second place. It would take an unprecedented comeback to beat it.

Joe J

I have a hunch Cassie will also watch Spy Game.

Cole Jennett

Only if she realizes Brad Pitt is in it, lol

Joseph Cabello

The story is very similar to all of Robert Ludlums books

Joseph Cabello

The similarity to Ludlum is very compelling. Also the interaction Max Von Sydow

Joseph Cabello

The Candidate was era defining movie and it has Raymond’s dad in it😂

John

Forgot that one, great. Afghanistan Bananastan!!!

Chris Thom

I've never seen it. Is it a conspiracy thriller? Like All the President's Men?

Chris Thom

Wasn't that the same one that Gene Hackman loved?

Byrd N. Hand

I liked Dunaway better when she was a blonde -- in "Bonnie and Clyde," "The Thomas Crown Affair," and "Little Big Man."

Above Average Dave

I believe he enjoyed the filming and the finished movie, yes.

Mark Vaderr

I don't think she really added much to the movie.

Clay F

I like her in Bonnie and Clyde. She did win Best Actress Oscar in Network. I like her interaction with William Holden in Network.

Mark Vaderr

I'm amazed at how poorly it's doing in the poll. Redford is good at it, and very funny. Jane Fonda is just okay, and a few scenes are a bit ridiculous, but it is entertaining.

Stick Figure Studios

I'm curious what scene you are referring to. I have seen it several times and I can't think of anything in it that would make me not want to watch it again.

Joseph Cabello

Trying not to give too much info. It’s when Gilbert explains what’s in the future

Paul Sutton

It's not a movie, but Redford's episode of the Twilight Zone, "Nothing in the Dark" is very well worth watching. Strong early career performance.

Kiss the Librarian

Didn't know he was in an episode, will have to watch. Thanks!

Kiss the Librarian

Happy with whatever's chosen, but if Cassie does a pick of her own, then I know she'd enjoy The Way We Were, Barefoot in the Park, or The Horse Whisperer the most. Also The Great Gatsby, which isn't on this list.

Clay F

Three Days of The Condor doesn't make sense to me at times. The Redford charisma and the Faye Dunaway charisma are highlights for me. I liked Spy Game 20 yrs ago. Watched Spy Game 2-3 times in early 2000s. The story grabbed and kept my attention. Redford, Pitt, and their interaction all good -- even captivating at times. However, Spy Game didn't do as as much for me my last rewatch a year or two ago (seemed too confusing or drawn out occasionally). Several good movies in poll but none leap off page to me. I voted Brubaker. Three Days Of The Condor is good to watch to have under your belt. I suspect that she would like Spy Game. I also like A River Runs Through It and The Horse Whisperer. I would be willing to check out Barefoot In The Park -- interested to see a young Jane Fonda and to see the chemistry between the two.

Cole Jennett

She may end up watching it so there’s no reason to get into any details on here Chris

Paul Sutton

It's in Season 3 of the original Twilight Zone. He's super young in it.

Joel Wayne

Barefoot in the Park is great. I'm voting for Brubaker too though. Haven't seen it in a long time but remember thinking it was a great film.

Clay F

+1 for The Sting. All the President's Men is my favorite Redford movie.

JarHead0351

For me it's Spy Games and then Three days of the Condor and The Last Castle, but he had so many other good movies too. Would like to rewatch any of them..

Doug Fisher

Yup... dead last! 🤣🤣 That is OK, as per usual I suspect most people have not seen it. Yeah, I have never really been a Jane Fonda fan and suspect she benefitted a lot from her father. Though... "Barbarella" 😉 and I didn't mind her in "9 to 5".

Goofaman

Agree on Spy Game but also put a vote on Electric Horseman. Don’t think many voters have seen it. Think you would like it a lot.

Jeff Rogers

Seriously? 3%? Apparently not many of you have seen the electric horseman, she would absolutely love it. Jane Fonda and Willie Nelson.

Larry Darrell

Oh the bygone days of the 70s, that are no more… when we had complex characters with complex emotions. So sad, so strange, the days that are no more.

Joe J

Happy Condor is winning...I do suspect she will also watch Spy Game...since it has Brad Pitt, lol.

Chris Thom

Hadn't even heard of it until Clarence suggested it this year.

Chris Thom

Yeah I just heard that on one of the entertainment shows after he passed. Had no idea.

Chris Thom

Oh I looked it up. His favorite movie he was in was Scarecrow (1973).

Chris Thom

I think some 70's movie hold up pretty well. Saw Love Story this year and it was enjoyable.

Kat Farlowe

Oh my gosh. His films are all so good! It is hard to choose between them. However, for two women (Cassie & Carly) who love romance, The Way We Were is the ultimate romantic film. Cassie, you should just watch it anyway, with Carly, no matter what the poll says! The Electric Horseman is fun, Condor is a good thriller, Out of Africa is epic and beautifully shot...they are all worthy of a watch!

Clay F

Yeah, dead last. 10th place.

Christian Becker

Thr three I like the most from that list: 1. Condor 2. SpyGame 3.Brubaker

Clay F

Results 1. Three Days of the Condor (1975) 2. Spy Game (2001) 3. A River Runs Through It (1992) 4. The Last Castle (2001) 5. The Horse Whisperer (1998) 6. Out of Africa (1985) 7. The Way We Were (1973) 8. Barefoot in the Park (1967) 9. Brubaker (1980) 10. The Electric Horseman (1979)

Albert E Jones

Three Days of the Condor Cassie. One of the most underrated movies ever. Redford and Faye Dunaway are fantastic in this, so is Max Von

Bob Lauter

Three Days of the Condor is one of the best Redford movies ever. It’s right up there with the Natural

Bob Lauter

I forgot about Legal Eagles. That’s a really fun movie.

Rob G

Surprised Downhill Racer didn't make the list
