Never considered him a great actor,but he can hold the screen given the right material.

Not a huge fan. I voted for Captain America out of fanboy pride, but I think The Natural is probably the best, true "Robert Redford Movie."

All The President's Men, easily.
The Sting, Butch and Sundance are fun and entertaining movies, but not "great". I also really enjoyed Jeremiah Johnson, but I think the third act is problematic. ATPM is a classic, however.

I like many of them but it's The Natural for me.

The Sting.
Loved that era of movies starting with Butch Cassidy. He was quite the leading man at that time. A golden god.

I think that his best performance was in Jeremiah Johnson.
Half of those movies are on my personal classics list.

Butch & Sundance.
CA:TWS was an amazing movie, but that was in spite of Redford.

I suppose it is a testament to the man's body of work that two of my favorite Robert Redford movies, Sneakers and The Candidate, didn't even make the poll.

I like the Sting. I think it is great seeing Redford and Newman in another movie together. But, upon review, I question the anachronistic use of ragtime, particularly the melody "The Entertainer" by Scott Joplin, in a movie set in the late 30's. Does this diminish the film for anyone?

And for the record, the anachronistic music does not diminish the Sting for me. But, I think it is interesting to discuss.

Well, there was a ragtime revival going on in the late 30s and into the 40s, so it's not that unrealistic, even if one is a stickler. I didn't even think of that when I saw the movie and hadn't considered it at all until reading your post.

For a movie that won the Best Picture and Best Director Oscars, The Sting is largely forgotten these days. Never on TV and never much talk about it. I saw it at the movies in 1973, when I was just 13 without my parents. Still remember that day. It is on Blu-ray cheap!!

It's in the rotation on one of the HBO or Showetime channels this month. Now, Sting II, that's rarely on TV. One of my favorite Mad covers. I still have this one somewhere...

I went with The Sting. Same here but I went with Butch and Sundance. Both terrific movies, though.
