"Robert Redford; that name does not sound familiar."

everyone over the age of 30 suddenly felt ancient

[normative]

“Robert Redford, that name does not sound familiar...”
Excuse me while I crawl into a sarcophagus.

[KatSut]

James earl Jones speaks.
Ashleigh: Is that the guy who voiced Mufasa in the Lion King?
Everyone: DARTH VADER!!!! 😂

[sempervigilo]

It's always amazes me how underrated this movie is considering the amount of star power is in it.

[AndyHutton]

Recognizing James Earl Jones for being the voice of Mustafa is like recognizing Paul McCartney for being the lead singer in Wings.

[billbabcock]

If you like Robert Redford, then The Sting with Paul Newman is an absolute must.

[rmhartman]

"he could get it"
Generations of women have been saying that about Redford.

[ApesAmongUs]

Today Ashleigh learns that Robert Redford is attractive. Tomorrow we begin lessons on the wetness of water.

[jasonremy]

This cast was amazing. Sidney Poitier and Ben Kingsley in supporting roles. That's some serious acting power.

[colettebezio]

Came here thinking, "Hmmm, Ashleigh hasn't watched a movie I cared about in a while, today will probably be another--OMG One of my favorites, glad you saw it. ^^ But my jaw dropped when you said you never heard of Robert Redford.

"Robert Redford, that name does not sound familiar..." ::dies of old age::

[emperorkalan]

Robert Redford was 55 when they were filming this. So let me suggest 1969's Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, when he was 33. Just sayin'.

Mufasa to Simba, "I am your Father!"
Simba:
Simba falls, lands on Millennium Falcon.

Man, River Phoenix could have been such a huge star.

[gerstelb]

The woman you’re so obsessed with, Mary McDonnell, is best known these days for the Battlestar Galactica remake - she plays President Laura Roslin. She was also in Independence Day, Grand Canyon, Passion Fish, and Dances with Wolves. She was nominated for Oscars for the last two.

She was also the judge in the version of 12 Angry Men that you watched.

12:15 No, that’s what Excel for Windows looked like in the 90s.
12:30 I think they’re sitting on a Cray Supercomputer.

[bradleyard]

This movie is full of film legends. Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, James Earl Jones, Sir Ben Kingsley, David Strathairn, Sidney Poitier, so much talent there. Love this movie!

[ann]

I Forgot River Phoenix was in this movie .
Such a talented young a loss...R.I.P 😞😞😞

[McBeelzebub]

The very instant she said she didn’t recognize RR, every single regular viewer leaned forward in anticipation. And she’s also going to have to wade through about five thousand comments about it.

[guavaball]

1992: "There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!" How spot on was that?

[kickliquid]

I didn't think anyone would ever react to this, this was a hidden gem even when it first came out
