Oscar-winner and founder of the Sundance Film Festival Robert Redford has passed away at 89.
He’s the Sundance Kid. The Natural. Heck, he even helped alter the course of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: The Winter Soldier — and he’s an Oscar winner in the bargain. From either side of the camera, Robert Redford made movie magic for decades, building an incredible filmography that includes acclaimed dramas (All the President’s Men, All Is Lost), classic blockbusters (The Sting, Three Days of the Condor), and pretty much everything in between, all while adding to his professional legacy by helping expand a little film festival that’s gone on to become one of Hollywood’s preeminent proving grounds for independent releases. With the news of his passing, we’re looking back at all of Robert Redford’s movies, and we’ve sorted the bunch by Tomatometer. How many have you seen? Where do your favorites rank?
