    All the Presidents Men and 3 day's of the Condor were sublime movies.

    I've just looked up his movies and he made some crackers. RIP

    One of my favourite ever films and, tbh, I'm still not sure I've completely grasped it all.

    It was a really 'scruffy' film and quite one dimensional but Redford and Dustin Hoffman managed to drag it along and keep you enthralled. In the light of this Charlie Kirk mystery, and the behaviour of Trump I'll be amazed if this film isn't shown this week.

    Redford was everything Trump would love to be ...

    ... and probably thinks he is.

    RIP Robert. Great actor and my 3 favourite films are The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and, because I love horses, The Horse Whisperer (starring a very young Scarlett Johansson).

    Incredible actor and director.

    Also what he did with Sundance film festival etc. has done more for independent film and talented up and comers than anyone else in the business. A true legend.

    This makes me sad. Only just added The Natural to my watch list on Netflix couple days ago.

    RIP
