Robert Redford was an icon 10 times over. Whether it was his incredible acting, beautiful directing, fierce activism or advancing the art of film, he was an all-time great. And as it was announced Tuesday morning, Redford died at the age of 89<\/a>.<\/p>\n We, his fans, will have so many of his movies to cherish and remember him by. So as we mourn him, it’s a good time to round up his best roles and movies. Normally, we do these roundups as acting roles only. But for Redford, we have to include some of the movies he directed on this list of his best films.<\/p>\n Here they are, in no particular order:<\/p>\n His breakout before his quick ascent to stardom. The adaptation of the Neil Simon Broadway play was a winner.<\/p>\n An all around amazing movie and not the last one he’d do with Paul Newman.<\/p>\n The perfect romantic lead with Barbra Streisand.<\/p>\n The other movie he did with Newman was a thrilling, jaw-dropping, brilliant film. No wonder it won Best Picture at the Oscars that year.<\/p>\n His Bob Woodward was a great counterbalance to Dustin Hoffman’s Carl Bernstein.<\/p>\n The tributes to his Roy Hobbs are pouring in.<\/p>\n Another Best Picture winner.<\/p>\n An underrated movie that he directed and starred in.<\/p>\n You can really see what a great director he was with this one.<\/p>\n I loved his heel turn as Alexander Pierce.<\/p>\n He won Best Director in his debut for a movie that also won Best Picture.
