Robert Redford has passed on

[ACORN]

While I didn't like his politics, I enjoyed his acting.
Any time I see Jeremiah Johnson while scanning the channels I stop and watch.
Rest is peace RR.

Actually Clint Eastwood said that in "Unforgiven", not Robert Redford.

Redford made a lot of great movies in his time, he will be remembered.

"Think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?"

R.I.P. Mr. Redford, I wasn't fond of your politics either, but I sure liked your movies!

 

[SMSgt]

A Walk in the Woods was a great one, even though Nick Nolte stole the show. RIP Bob.

 

[YeshuaIsa53]

RIP and thanks for the good times.

I remember sitting in the theater and watching Butch and Sundance!! Such a great actor and person.

 

[IAM Rand]

Newman and Redford are 2 that I would have like to share a bottle of good bourbon with when they were younger. Would have been a great conversation.

Yes, and he handled many Colt SAA's and nobody died.

 

[Bo Rich]

Sad day! I enjoyed his movies. I wonder how that will effect the series Dark Winds, that he co-produced? I hope that it continues. My Wife, and I enjoy the show.

RIP ...

 

[Xfuzz]

Old flick...I really liked.
"Three days of the Condor".
RIP

 

[keithpip]

I'm with Xfuzz. Three days of the Condor. Back in the day all the girls loved him. TDOTC, Classic '70's film. Rest in peace.

 

[lihpster]

From the Sting to Jeremiah Johnson to All The President's Men to The Natural I have enjoyed his work immensely. R.I.P. Sundance. Thanks for the memories.

 

[Ματθιας]

War Hunt

 

[LVSteve]

Three Days of the Condor, one of the best spy/political intrigue movies ever made. RIP, Mr Redford.

Great hunter, yes?

Fine figure of a man, yes?
Yes.
Good. That is all you need to know. For now.

RIP

Robert Redford, ‘Butch Cassidy’ and ‘All the President’s Men’ Icon, Dies at 89

Robert Redford, the screen legend known for films like 'All the President's Men' and 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,' has died. He was 89.

variety.com

Don't know why, but this image is what I think of when I hear Redford's name. It's from A Bridge Too Far and the Americans are trying to cross a river in boats that didn't have oars or paddles, so the troops used their rifles as paddles.

 

[UncleEd]

Besides "War Hunt" a very low budget early film he also played a kindly angel of death on a "Twilight Zone"

 

[CALREB]

J Johnson, 3 Days of the Condor, and a bunch of other great movies, but the thing I will always remember is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, is the last movie I ever went to with my Dad and Mom. Used to go regularly, but I got too grown-up.

I liked " Out of Africa" the story his friend told, about a fellow borrowing a book from Redfords character and not returning it. I asked Denys you wouldn't lose a friend over a book would you. Reply "No, but he has!" I often feel that way about borrowed gun items..

 

[Valmet]

Politics aside he was truly one of the last great Hollywood legends…

 

[TIMETRIPPER]

Out of Africa was a beautifully made movie. And 3 days of the Condor was one of the best of its' genera. But let's no forget The Sting. Pure entertainment with some good ol' ragtime music by Scott Joplin.

John

 

[Dashriprock]

Another of his finest efforts was his long journey to getting A River Runs Through It made into a film, and his directing and narration of the final product. He distilled Norman Maclean's masterful tale into an elegant cinematic treatment.

Politics aside .. (snip)

I've seen this a few times in this thread ... seems to be a necessary declaration for some reason. AFAIK he wasn't a congressman, governor, senator .. or chief dog catcher. Just a guy with a point of view like all of us have. We don't all agree with each other all the time and I'm glad for it.

Some things need to be said and a lot of other things don't. I for one would like to see this nonsense put to rest.
