Re: Robert Deadford
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

RIP Sundance.
Good list but you are missing probably my favourite All The Presidents Men.

Re: Robert Deadford
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.

Who's left now? Beatty, Hoffman, Nicholson, Pacino, Eastwood, De Niro
Maurice Micklewhite - Who's just agreed to come out of retirement to make yet another film at 93
The greatest of them all. I was thinking more of the yank/hollywood types.
Duvall should on that list as well.

Re: Robert Deadford
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.

Re: Robert Deadford
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.

Re: Robert Deadford
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...

Re: Robert Deadford
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
