Robert Redford (Hover)
Anyone remember the movie sneakers? This was by far my favorite movie of his. This movie came out in 1992 and he put another one of my favorite movies by him out that year, A River Runs Through It. 1992 was a good year for him I guess.
I thought he had made allot more movies that he has. But according to his profile, he has only made about 39 movies. This doesn't include movies that he has produced though.

Robert Redford making Weather Underground movie
First Redford did a film glorifying communist and mass murderer Che Guevara called The Motorcycle Diaries - so it shouldn't come as a big surprise that he's getting set to praise another group of radical leftists. This time he's planning on portraying the domestic terrorist group Weather Underground in a positive light. Producers said, "This is an edge-of-your-seat thriller about real Americans who stood for their beliefs, thinking they were patriots and defending their country's ideals against their government."

I remember 'Sneakers'. Such a great film. And such a good cast, with Sidney Portier and the late River Phoenix. Robert Redford is a wonderful actor. Has been in such classics - 'The sting', with the equally talented Paul Newman and 'The Great Gatsby' (redoing that film is blasphemy) My favourite Robert Redford film will always be 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' That was a lot of fun!
