I loved Splitsville. Reminded me of the adult comedies we used to get 20 or 25 years ago. Legit LOL'd often.

I haven't seen nearly enough Redford movies.

Feel like I've seen a movie like this before.

All the President's Men
The Sting
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid
I'm also a big fan of Sneakers but that's a cheesey 80's hacker movie

"The Old Man & the Gun" is an enjoyable little movie from late in his career. For those he directed, "Ordinary People" is very good, but "Quiz Show" is excellent

I've always loved A River Runs Through It. See that one maybe half a dozen times. But favorite film he starred in is The Natural. Mount Rushmore sports movie that I think is kinda magical.

Great films- also highlight the power of a great writer, 2 of the 3 (not The Sting) were written by William Goldman.

I love the movie. I laugh at this every time. Something is wrong with me

I'm watching it right now. That's a great one but the scene that makes me laugh is the hard cut to everyone in the lineup wearing the patch.

Speaking of Paul Rudd, I watched Friendship last week. What a ridiculous movie that honestly got better after I watched it when lines or situations would pop back up in my head :lol:

I've still never seen it. I've tried several times and just can't get over Redford at age 48 playing a 20 year old or whatever. I also never really liked him as an actor so that didn't help either. Maybe I'll try again.

PTA's One Battle After Another sounds like a legit masterpiece.

Can't wait. Was talking with my wife the other day about this, but as much as I love the Coen's and Wes Anderson (the first two to pop into my head) is PTA the best modern American director? Even what I would say is my least favorite movie of his is at least an 8/10. He's insanely consistent.

He'd get my vote. As you said, there isn't a bad movie in his filmography. There's not even an average one.

Nolan is the other guy who comes to mind for me but he's not American and I don't think I'd take his filmography over PTA's. Coen Bros have a strong case but have one true stinker together and Ethan's been working hard to scuttle his own reputation. Tarantino should be in the mix somewhere.

First Colbert now Kimmel. Late Night Talk show hosts are being taken out left and right. Watch your back, Fallon.
