Heresy perhaps but Sneakers might be my favorite. RIP to a legit old school silver screen legend. 

Sneakers is great. I rented it like a dozen times before bought it on iTunes. Pretty much the perfect late night movie after football.

His Granddad built the house my wife's Aunt currently lives in and that's where he spent summers growing up.

I think it was like 15-20 years ago my wife's Aunt gets a call from "Bob's people" explaining he would like to come visit the house and relive memories.  She had no idea the history.

He shows up and proceeds to spend several hours telling her and my wife's uncle about the story of his granddad building it and his memories of the times he spent here.

They are to call him Bob, as that's what his friends call him, and if they ever want to come to Sundance Film Festival, please call him and they will be his special guest.  They never took him up on that.

My MIL was some kinda pissed she wasn't notified ahead of time he was coming (they didn't tell anyone).  Lol.

That's a great story.  I assume somewhere near central Austin given the age?

I think I'd classify it as Tarrytown, but I don't exactly know the Tarrytown borders.

It's a really nice stone house

So many great roles.  And a huge supporter of independent film.

Jeremiah Johnson is my favorite of his movies, but Butch/Sundance and The Sting are right up there, too.

He also wrote a book for National Geographic that I really enjoy -- The Outlaw Trail.

RIP, Mr. Redford

I named my three faves, but there are several of his movies I will watch anytime they're on, including River Runs, Sneakers, All the President's Men, Old Man & the Gun, 3 Days of the Condor, Tell Them Willie Boy is Here, Brubaker, and this one just to name some of them.
