Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

[Impowers]

McQueen turned it down because he was suspicious of the "equal and staggered billing" that they later used with "The Towering Inferno."

man, great movie, great director, great actor, great film. fan-FREAKIN-TASTIC :D

this guy is so classy. i don't think i've seen better acting than in this movie, maybe with the exception of heath ledger in batman (im a batman fanatic :P)

[dylanmegansmom]

He always looked so preppy, like he had some upper class family, but it turns out he had a troubled childhood. It makes him more interesting.

[LifeBoatSinking]

Mr. Redford's un edited humble answers remind me of Mr. Brando's genuiness.

Gotta Love these men.

'Who are those GUYS"??? Robert Redford is a National treasure, as was Paul Newman. Great movie about friends, pressure and inevitability. My brother and I snuck into this movie dozens of times when we were kids because we were not old enough to pay and get in without a parent. This is one of the best movies that will ever be made. "Who were those GUYS"???

2:04..... what the hell did he say.. ? Acronyistic? Acronymistic? WTF?

I'm assuming he's referring to an acronym... but in what sense does he mean that and what the hell word did he use?!

I think he's talking out of his ass.

[stonewolf1886]

anachronistic! It mean chronologically out of order

[vinceman]

good interview. Redford is very cogent and a thinking man's actor. thanks for posting it.

[Bestmanme08]

Paul Newman never should have supported New Testament sinful gay rights. Google the name "Frank Worthen" . BTW theer sia great bio on Newman ata mazon (Paul Newman: The Dream Has Ended).

[boyinthedrain]

"Paul Newman never should have supported New Testament sinful gay rights"

Blah blah blah.

It's such a tragedy when people are tolerant and not bigoted!

[smcobb99]

I agree with Robert, I didn't like the song in the movie, too comercial and the modern tune removes you from the 1800's setting where the plot takes place. Still amoung my all-time favorite movies!

[yourengland]

Would love to hear paul newman talk about this movie.

[hujjesb]

this guy knows what he is talking about .he is one of the greats .

[MickeyLove01]

nobody can determine how a film will turn out

[Tigerlily21]

Ha ha even Redford didn't get the Raindrops Falling on Your Head sequence either. lol. I gotta be honest, it does seem ou of place, but I still love it. It's adorable.

[wlhardy]

One of my favorite actors discussing one of my favorite movies. Hollywood doesn't make 'em like they used to. Everything today is special effects, vulgarity & lousy remakes, nothing orginial, no good story lines or plot, etc. I go to a movie theater that shows indy movies because the mainstream cinema sucks. Classy actors such as Redford and Newman are becoming extinct.

[halbie71]

You got that right!

[newarrior3000]

DItto for musicians, politicians and humans.

Thank god for the Dalai Lama, Redford, McCartney, Robert Plant, Deniro, Jimmy Carter....

[PRR5406]

Absolutely. Even rock and roll is just a plethora of filth and overt sexuality. Good music, good cinema and theatre are almost dead. Blame the public for accepting this crap as "art". Among he true greats were Astaire, Marx Bros., Cary Grant, Hitchcock, The Beatles, these guys, Theo. Roosevelt, Truman, some others.

[berbersissi]

@wlhardy I do agree with you as regards to the Hollywood movie based mainly on special effects, vulgarity and lousy remakes. I am very nostalgic because I do think films back then were much better in particular in the 60's and 70's. The screenplays were carefully written, the plot and lines were very good and original as well.

[mykaronson]

Redford is such an artist. So pure. So unhollywood.

[coltlawman357]

時が経つのは早いものです。

もっと沢山の映画にレッドフォードは出て欲しかった。

[rogerrodd]

The articulate incite linked with self assured modesty and a genuine love for the art. THIS is what a movie star was intended to be.

He has a vocabulary. He doesn't say "like" every other word sandwiched between "you knows", "totally", "awesome" and an assortment of cliches.  The loss of Redford and his ilk as cinematic icons and box office leaders, is also the exact reason I've boycotted the corporate crap that Hollywood slings today.

[jemimakahn]

Couldn't agree more. No wonder Hollywood needs to draw from the British and Australian pool nowadays. Those guys are intellectually self-confident, evolved and eloquent to boot - adding more weight/depth to their personas.

[rogerrodd]

Wish I could agree with your belief that Hollywood "needs to draw" from abroad. They are corporate whores who will put any WWF wrestler, rapper, pop star, or reality show dropout on the screen as long as they put asses (and I do mean asses) in the chairs. America is too enthralled with accents to discern any quality. Plenty of overlooked talent and intellect right here at home that is struggling in obscurity because the right "suit" refuses to even give them a look. One of them is writing this.

[jemimakahn]

I agree with you to a large extent, rogerrodd. I don't know if the Suits are obsessed with accents since most of these expats are made to play American. But yes, the rot has set in at the top with studios drawing from the wrong pool and following short-sighted market dictates. But I'm curious as to why qualified American talent isn't part of this pool. I mean, an unknown Brit is as much of a box office gamble as an unknown American actor. Puzzling.

[rogerrodd]

My front line experience with live American audiences is the foundation for my opinion. I've performed stand up 6 nights a week for the past 18 years nationally, occasionally abroad, but mostly in Los Angeles. That exposes me to a large number of good and bad comedians. Regardless of skill level, I've noticed an astounding amount of forgiveness and acceptance for a hack with ANY kind of foreign accent. They are instantly intriguing and funny to the crowd. The suits know and rely upon this.

[sosoloverly]

^^ i agree!!!

what prank did he do that he spoke of?

[ab4589c]
