His many films include Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, The Sting, Indecent Proposal, The Candidate, All The President’s Men, The Great Gatsby and Out of Africa.
neutral · AI labelView post →Robert Redford was my favorite, it’s hard to process that he is gone. His performances made more movies beloved to me than anyone else, I’d take The Sting over any other film for flawless perfection. We don’t expect famous people to also be good people but he was. He belongs to the ages
positive · AI labelView post →Just finished watching The Sting—great movie. Released in 1973, set in 1939. I regret to inform you that the same time difference is a movie set in 1991. Good. Night!
positive · AI labelView post →The Sting is a very good movie but something that restrained and dry making $1.8B is fully bonkers. Hypothesis that Butch Cassidy audiences had simply never seen two men as hot as Redford and Newman in the same movie before, and when they switched facial hair all bets were off

neutral · AI labelView post →Just rewatched The Sting. What a great movie with 2 of the most beautiful men. ❤️
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight on TCM #TCM THE STING (1973) Is this the greatest Boomer movie memory? Written by David S. Ward with music by the great Scott Joplin, adapted by Marvin Hamlisch. Starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Robert Shaw. Essential viewing. 🎥
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Sting again. What a film! The entire cast is terrific, the script is sharp, the costumes are fabulous. Paul Newman is brilliant, and his chemistry with Redford is off the charts!
positive · AI labelView post →Born 18 Aug 1936, Robert Redford was an iconic US actor, Oscar-winning director and environmental activist. He starred in classics like Butch Cassidy and The Sting, directed Ordinary People, and founded the Sundance Film Festival, shaping modern independent cinema. He died last year. #RobertRedford
neutral · AI labelView post →I relatively recently rewatched The Sting (probably for the first time since it was new), and it's insanely charming and fun and ingenious (give or take a plot hole you could drive a tank through). And them's what you call MOVIE STARS.
positive · AI labelView post →THE STING (1973) is screening at Regal cinemas nationwide today. This is the final film in Regal’s well-curated Oscar month classics series and tix are $7.99. George Roy Hill’s caper comedy is also leaving Netflix, so tonight’s the night to celebrate Redford and Newman. #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →In the last two days I have watched both The Sting and All The President's Men, out of RESPECT. They left me with two key thoughts. 1) I am a complete child of the 70s. 2)My god they don't make film stars like that any more.
positive · AI labelView post →After Robert Redford passed away, started reserving some of his movies from the library for the family to watch. We did Sneakers a few weeks ago. Tonight we watched The Sting. Some of it is a bit dated, but mostly holds up as a movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Sting (1973) dir. George Roy Hill 🎬 One of those movies, that no matter how often I see it, I enjoy it just as much as the first time. #NowWatching #filmsky #moviesky #cinema

neutral · AI labelView post →Robert Redford, Oscar winning actor, director, activist, and founder of the Sundance Film Festival, has died at the age of 89 at home in Utah. Redford was known for films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, All the President's Men, and Ordinary People. www.reuters.com/business/med...
neutral · AI labelView post →I absolutely adore Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid but the answer to this is The Sting on the very short list of greatest heist/con movies ever and Newman and Redford put on an absolute masterclass of charm, impossible to come out of that movie without understanding their star power
positive · AI labelView post →Farewell to a man who epitomizes the word “legend.” I could gush all day about my favorite of his films (SNEAKERS, THE HOT ROCK, SPY GAME, THE STING), but better tribute is to acknowledge that the entire landscape of modern film would be vastly different were it not for Robert Redford. RIP
positive · AI labelView post →In honor of Robert Redford and because Paul Newman, this week I reviewed The Sting (1973) which is both an exceptional film about conmen and also an exceptional study of cinema as a con itself. The Sting has such a brilliant structure of misdirection and distraction by way of Newman's baby blues 🗃️
positive · AI labelView post →Robert Redford was my first movie star crush - and The Sting was the first “grown up” movie I ever saw. But it was All the President’s Men that shaped the course of my life and inspired me to become a journalist. What a film legacy he leaves the world. #RobertRedford
positive · AI labelView post →Lets celebrate the life and movies of the late, great Robert Redford, starting with the classic star vehicle The Sting… film-authority.com/2022/09/14/t...
neutral · AI labelView post →For those of us who grew up in the 1970s and '80s, Redford defined the idea of movie star in classics like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Sting" and "Out of Africa." And no surprise, "All the President's Men" remains to this day my favorite movie of all time.
positive · AI labelView post →This is what the “blood” looks like. Redford faking getting shot in the movie, The Sting.
neutral · AI labelView post →Years ago, an ex-boyfriend took me to see "The Sting". He *loved* the movie, because he firmly believed that people cannot be conned unless they are themselves dishonest and greedy. Which, to be clear, is nonsense. A surprising number of people believe it, though, hence some of the leniency.
negative · AI labelView post →It is not his best movie or performance (that would be the The Hustler) but yeah The Sting would be the 'Zoomers look at this' movie, and as a twofer you get Redford
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Sting tonight, and while Robert Redford (rip) is great in it, it's really Newman's movie. He moves in and steals the film from literally everyone else.

neutral · AI labelView post →Guess I'm watching Robert Redford films for the remainder of this week Think my favourite has to be The Sting, which is an absolutely perfect film If you've never seen it, do yourself a favour and rectify this as soon as possible
positive · AI labelView post →"...as it stands, Newman & Redford, with a little added Robert Shaw for seasoning, will do just fine. It's film-making by an expert technician; park your brain, break out the popcorn and have a great time..." My brief Letterboxd notes on THE STING... #FilmSky boxd.it/guM83L
positive · AI labelView post →Robert Redford made such an incredible impact in film acting in classics like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, and All the President's Men, directing films like Ordinary People and Quiz Show, and founding Sundance. What a legacy. I'm very sad to hear of his passing.

unlabelledView post →“You know me. I’m the same as you. It’s two in the morning and l don’t know nobody.” RIP Robert Redford. A real film star. THE STING was by no means Redford’s best film, but it was the first of his l can remember seeing. Watched it on free to air with my parents back in the day & l love it.
unlabelledView post →Just watched The Sting, and on top of it being just a class film, Robert Redford and Paul Newman are just the absolute business - no-one like em, just steaming charisma and chops off the scale. What a double act, what a film.
unlabelledView post →A friend told me that at the screening of The Sting we were at, there was a guy a couple rows away from him and he was sort of thinking things out outloud throughout the film like "ah, they're gonna double cross him", and 20 minutes before the movie ended he loudly said "AH! He's Irish!"

unlabelledView post →Oooof - "The oldest title available on Netflix was 1973's 'The Sting'." THIS IS TERRIBLE. #hatm www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
unlabelledView post →Rest in Peace to Redford. Met him at The Progressive’s 100th anniversary. Totally talking to everyone. No airs. Been thinking about my fave Redford (not fave Redford movie. That’s The Sting) and it’s so basic but The Natural is still goosebumps central for me. Roy F*cking Hobbs. Forever.
unlabelledView post →The Sting, Sneakers, All the Presidents Men. Environmentalist, supporter of independent film makers, and drop dead gorgeous. RIP.
unlabelledView post →Noting, as a number of people have mentioned The Sting (a spectacular film): I rewatched it relatively recently for the first time since I saw it in 1973, and I was surprised that it has basically one major twist,* because since then we've had such twist inflation that I was expecting dozens.

unlabelledView post →I got my new releases in early, so here's a double bill of 70s classics by director George Roy Hill. Hill directs Robert Redford and Paul Newman in The Sting, a charmingly-told heist movie about two rather moral con-men besting a big fish (Robert Shaw). 5 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/06/13/t...

unlabelledView post →If you've never seen a Robert Redford movie and would like to, but have no idea where to start, I'd go with either The Sting or Sneakers. Both are excellent and (for the most part) are very fun. I prefer The Sting, but YMMV. Now, if you prefer movies that will make you cry...
