Redford did not star in A River.... but, he did direct it and it's a fine film.
A+ for Tom Skerritt performance and the gorgeous scenery.

The Sting is my favorite film in which Robert Redford starred. However, my favorite Redford performances were #1 in the Great Waldo Pepper and #2 in Brubaker.

I would go with "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". I liked the scene where Sundance said, "Can I move?"

Incidentally, Redford is in a recent movie on Netflix titled, "The Discovery" which I recommend that nobody bothers to watch. Redford has a large role, but not the lead role his acting was OK but not great (I expected better). The lead role was by a guy (don't know his name AND don't want to) who I thought was very bland (and that was kind of me). The movie was mildly science fiction (which I usually like) and the plot had potential, but sort of flat lined about half way through it. I stuck with it to the end, but wish that I had NOT. I was sad for Robert Redford's face, which has more wrinkles that what I see in my mirror. He must have needed money for some reason to do THAT movie. I would recommend that people watch the 1st 5 minutes just to see him and to respect his lifetime of GREAT acting.

Poor Craig Sheffer. He had quite a good career. he owns a bar in Malibu. Or at least he used to
As for the question. I’ll say all of them but my standouts would be. Spy Game, Butch and Sundance, Barefoot in the Park

Can't think of an absolute favorite, but The Electric Horseman makes me grin when I think of it.

Lol… I had no interest in watching that movie. Looked stupid. But the lead actor is Jason Segal, right? You don’t know who that is???? Lol He’s even nominated for an Emmy at this very moment. He’s good and has been in a ton of things over the past 2 decades. Starting with one of the best tv shows ever made…. Freaks and Geeks.

No, I don't know who Jason Segal is. I am just going by his, so called, performance in "The Discovery". I have never watched Freaks and Geeks. This is the 1st time I have heard anyone mention that program on TV. For the last 15 years I only watch a few things on Network TV - NBA basketball playoffs, Saturday Night Live, Butthead and Beavis, Big Bang Theory, and lots of news programs. Recently, I have watched part of "Alien Earth" on FX and can't make up my mind as to if it is worth watching. I may be leading a sheltered life, but the only cable that I watch is Netflix, Prime, and HBO. I tend to concentrate on trying to find good Sci/Fi and that is difficult to do. I don't like most crime movies or romance. Good comedies are rare as are good war movies - as are good sports movies. .......but, I did appreciate your response to my review of "The Discovery".

I have seen him in a few things over the years. Looks like he is marrying one of Taylor Swift's backup dancers.

I went to that link and it said the Jason Segal is best known for. "How I Met Your Mother". That show was on Network TV and is just the kind of thing that I try to AVOID. - I am guessing that it is a lightweight, light comedy. To me MOST network TV shows are just one small step above the lightweight romance-novel type shows aimed at a female audience. I realize that shows like that and romance novels do SELL massively, but they are just not for me - not my "cup of tea" as that saying goes. I prefer an action movie like "Saving Private Ryan". But I prefer Sci/Fi. My all time favorite would be "Prometheus" with Noomi Rapace. There are many, many that I liked including District 9, The Matrix, the man Who Fell to Earth, 12 Monkeys, Mad Max, Planet of the Apes, Mr Nobody, The 5th Element, and many others.

My older brother and his wife love How I Met Your Mother. I could not get into it . I do love Cheers, Frasier, Seinfeld and Friends is growing on me .
