Re: Robert Redford dies at 89
I've decided to watch some of his movies I haven't seen so far. I started with the Blu-ray of Truth, which was quite good. Tell Them Willie Boy is Here is next and tomorrow I'll pop in the Blu-ray of All is Lost.

I haven't seen it since it came out and I've been wanting to. I remember enjoying it a great deal. It's a caper film based on a Donald Westlake novel, it's funny and has a great supporting cast: George Segal, Paul Sand, Ron Liebman, Zero Mostel, and Moses Gunn, among others. Plus New York City location filming.
Oddly enough, as I'm looking at it, and I never caught the connection till now; Sneakers is kinda the same thing.

I was pretty sure I'd never heard of this movie before, but when I checked my list I must have seen the movie in 2008 and even after watching the trailer I don't really remember the movie. There was only one sequence that seemed familiar. So I guess I revist that movie too, since usually I have a really good movie memory.

Maybe it is not his most memorable but A Walk in the Woods a movie he did with Nick Nolte from 2015 was on one of the free movie LG channels.
Just remember to use closed captioning to understand what Nolte is saying.

20/20 had a special edition chronicling his life and career tonight.
I forgot about the Clearing another movie he did with another legend Willem Dafoe.

I’ve only ever seen two films he starred in, Sneakers and All the Presidents Men, and a couple he costarred in, Winter Soldier and Indecent Proposal, but I was a big fan of Quiz Show. Ordered a copy on dvd. Looking forward to revisiting it after 20 some odd years.

I wish Quiz Show got a blu-ray or 4k release and hope with this unfortunate news it gets fasttracked to production at least.

I wish this had a blu-ray release too and one of those $9.99 cheap blu-rays.

It's a "Chick Flick" but I've loved The Way We Were since I was a kid. Along with Annie Hall, one of the first sad ending romance films I remember watching. Both he and Barbra are so good in it -- so different but well-matched. It's an underrated classic, at least to me.

She used to basically say that Robert Redford was her "hall pass" in roundabout ways.

This was and is a favorite book of mine, but the movie was something I turned off quickly. May give it a watch again, but have low expectations.

It was ok
I think it had a lot of sex or dirty jokes so maybe the script was dumbed down from the book.
