Our parents, the Greatest Generation had so many great actors to watch over their lifetime but for us Baby Boomers, this guy was one of ours. He starred in so many great movies and I put together my favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This is one that I feel a lot of people don&#8217;t know about. It&#8217;s a great spy thriller that is hard to find but I would highly recommend. Redford plays a CIA analyst who reads books. He returns from lunch to discover that all of his coworkers have been killed as a part of a massive government-wide conspiracy. This movie has a lot of twist in it, Redford is the show!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Joubert\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/voPmfT09jlg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">ALL THE PRESIDEN&#8217;T MEN:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Very rarely do good books turn into great movies, this one did! This 1976 film about\u00a0<em>The Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0team that unearthed the biggest political scandal in American history. Redford is simply fantastic as reporter Bob Woodward, bringing a realism to the role that ensures the viewers never forget the massive stakes of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Follow the Money - All the President&#039;s Men (4\/9) Movie CLIP (1976) HD\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vETxuL7Ij3Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">SNEAKERS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This another movie that flys below the radar.  Redford always loved playing a good bad guy and he once again does it here as Martin Bishop\/Brice, a \u201csneaker\u201d who is forced to face off against his old hacking partner after the FBI discovers his shady past. Great cast in this movie, including Ben Kingsley, Sidney Portier, and River Phoenix, Redford manages to stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Sneakers - Too Many Secrets\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rUt7D4PnjxU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">THE WAY WE WERE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Who doesn&#8217;t like a love story without a storybook ending.

The entire movie is pretty damn great, mostly due to fantastic performances from Paul Newman and Redford as the titular outlaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Butch Cassidy end the Sundance Kid (1969) -  I can&#039;t swim !\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W3lhiGXYui8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">THE NATURAL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">One of my favorite baseball movies of all time. Redford is phenomenal as Roy Hobbs, a once-great, over-the-hill ballplayer who makes the most of his chance at a comeback in the minor leagues despite being nearly 40.\u00a0My wife and I were watching this movie and when it ended, she went into labor with my oldest son, Anthony Jr. So many great scenes in this movie but I love the line &#8220;My father wanted me to be a baseball player&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"The Natural: &quot;My father wanted me to be a baseball player ...&quot;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JJ2GB2nLyFA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">My all time favorite Redford movie is The Sting.
