The Natural
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Jeremiah Johnson

Jeremiah Johnson is my favorite of his, it's so rich in comedy, action and tragedy
The ending is sublime
I love this movie

I'm still going to call the cops😛

I don't understand why people post specific movie questions on the GD thread.

reply

I suppose we all do it from time to time because GD has the most traffic and we have a crazy family dynamic going on there

For instance, I can often tell which poster has made an OP before I even open it...we are pretty tight, good people

Three Days of the Condor
The Sting
The Natural

reply

I have yet to see Three Days of the Condor...sad but true!
Yes, The Sting was great but I went with The Natural instead

Nice to see you NorrinRad;)

Condor is a really good movie. A very straight-forward, tense drama. I forget why the murders are committed in the beginning, but for the most part it's realistic and believable. Took me a long time to get around to it as well. I think it's much better than The Parallax View. That's a bit of a strange one.

Appreciate the input
There is TOO MUCH to watch😱

reply

Close the drapes. Turn off the doorbell, phone and computer. Watch movies. Put TV in bathroom so you can sit and watch. Quit work, divorce family. Watch movies.

Here come a few lines of spoiler space.





Okay, here's the info.

Atwood ordered Turner's office to be wiped out because Joey submitted an inquiry to headquarters about a novel whose plot elements mirrored Atwood's rogue operation to seize Middle Eastern oil fields.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Three Days of the Condor
The Natural

Butch is fun but I like when Redford has to carry a movie. I really think Newman is the better actor, so when they are together it kinda shows.
I have mixed feelings about The Natural. I guess since it's a fable I'm supposed to overlook all it's improbabilities. The homemade bat. His elder rookie status. Glenn Close is angelic (?) while Barbara Hershey is a loon. Wilford Brimley always plays the same character, weary, seen-it-all, dispensing hard-won advice. But it's very watchable, so I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Little Fauss and Big Halsy
The Way We Were
The Sting
All the President's Men

reply

Not sure about the first one, but the rest have very strong co-stars, so as much as I like RR, I'm not sure these are the best reps of his best work.
