Robert Redford<\/a> ruled the late 1960s and 1970s cinema, and if you have not heard of him (what a shame), here is a list of movies to introduce you to the late, great film star.\u00a0<\/p>\nBarefoot in the Park\u00a0<\/h2>\n
A newlywed\u2019s marriage is called into question after they move into their first apartment in New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Robert Redford stars as Paul Bratter, a stuffed-shirt lawyer who falls madly in love with the maverick, Corie Bratter, played by Jane Fonda.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Redford gives a humorous and heartfelt take as a man lost in his new wife\u2019s free-spirited nature.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A lot of the movie’s charm and best scenes come from interactions between the couple. Redford and Fonda are not only believable as newlyweds but have both a physical and comedic chemistry to rival that of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Redford himself is utterly charming as Mr Bratter, the more rational half of Mrs Bratter, and even walks barefoot in the park.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All the President\u2019s men\u00a0<\/h2>\n
You don’t need to have read the book or be a history buff to be captivated by this political drama.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Playing the real-life journalist Bob Woodward, Redford uncovers the biggest political scandal in Washington – Watergate, alongside Carl Bernstein, played by Dustin Hoffman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Redford delivers a stellar performance, which was critically acclaimed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The movie is perhaps one of the best biographical political thrillers, and Robert Redford is a big reason why that is.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Great Gabsy\u00a0<\/h2>\n
Portraying the most iconic literary character, Robert Redford plays Jack Gatsby in the 1974 film adaptation of the book.<\/p>\n
Redford is as brilliant as the charismatic businessman who is obsessed with his lost love, Daisy Buchanan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite receiving mixed reviews, Redford\u2019s turn as the nouveau riche was hailed as being \u201cexcellent in the title role, the mysterious gentleman of humble origins and bootlegging connections\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If anyone can pull off an iconic literary character like Jay Gatsby, it is Robert Redford.\u00a0<\/p>\n
