All The President's Men (1975)

Two Washington Post journalists (Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, showing everyone how it is done) are assigned to investigate a burglary, but little do they realise the story they are about to uncover will go right to the very top and result in the first resignation of a President of the United States - a riveting account of the Watergate scandal from start to...well, resignation, but not finish.

Out Of Africa (1985)

Based on Karen Blixen's 1937 memoir of her time spent in British East Africa, Sydney Pollack's unhurried romance stars Meryl Streep, her porcelain skin, Robert Redford, and his blue eyes, and tells a sweeping, poetic, heartbreaking love story - no, not between Streep's Blixen and Redford's Denys but between Blixen and the object of her profoundest love: verdant, spectacular Kenya.

The Old Man and the Gun (2018)

In simpler times, when police work involved rifling through file boxes, having leads faxed through and using a rewind button to review grainy black and white surveillance footage, an old man, real-life San Quentin prison escapee Forrest Tucker, indulges in his greatest pleasure: robbing banks and going on the run, and like the wind rustling Robert Redford's impossible blonde tresses through the window of his Chevrolet getaway vehicle, this based-on-a-true-story crime drama is a gentle, refreshing breeze, like Heat meets geriatric Catch Me If You Can with a laidback soundtrack.
