Dunder
The first movie I ever watched was "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." We didn't go to movies while I was growing up. When I went away to Baptist Bible College, however, a boyfriend had a car and invited me to a free showing of this movie at a different college. Had to get a dispensation from my Resident Assistant to go off campus but managed it. I vividly remember the movie's music, humor, cinematography, as well as keeping a running count of the number of people shot - though the details of the boyfriend du jour have faded. It was Robert Redford w/ his half smile that caught my attention the most. Enjoyed many of his performances through the years: "The Electric Horseman", "Sneakers", "The Sting", "All the President's Men", "Barefoot in the Park", "Three Days of the Condor" as well as his memorable Twilight Zone episode. He starred in other notable movies I haven't seen. Will search on TV this week for other of his performances to watch - a reminder of what good acting can be. Shouldn't be hard to find one.

The Natural - a baseball movie
Dan's favorite Robert Redford movie is Jeremiah Johnson. He has seen it at least 10 times and can quote many scenes verbatim.
