Apart from being a great actor plus a director & producer he was also a promoter of independent films via his Sundance Festival
He realised that the sort of independent films he loved from the 70’s & before were being sidelined by all these mindless corporate ‘blockbusters’ like the Marvel bollocks

Hah! Fair enough, I didn't know that as the old man and the gun was supposed to be billed as his last. Maybe it was a similar case to Caine coming back out of retirement so to top up his pension a bit. 😄

Avengers - Endgame was his last 'proper' film mate. 2019.
Although The Old Man And The Gun was infinitely better.

Very sad, made some absolutely brilliant films.  As well as the obvious such as Butch and Sundance and the fabulous The Sting, I especially enjoyed his later films "All is Lost", "The Old Man and The Gun" and the highly enjoyable "Walk in the Woods" with Nick Nolte.  Plus a lovely film with Jane Fonda, although maybe not the best title in "Our Souls at Night".  RIP to a true legend of film.

I'll give The Chase a go.

Very well known, handsome but i dont think he ever had a really great lead role in anything. Newman stole the show in butch cassidy imo.

One of my favourite movies he was in and not that well known was The Chase from 1966. Just look at this cast:

Marlo Brando
Jane Fonda
James Fox
Angie Dickinson
Robert Duvall
I'll have a search for that, cheers.

Just Cllnt Eastwood left of the proper film stars. Maybe Tom Cruise

Not one punter ever, ever went to see a Robert Downey Jnr film, let alone that gay cսnt Pedro Pascal.

RIP Sundance. For a minute there, I thought you were in trouble...
