Want to know the best Robert Redford movies?  How about the worst Robert Redford movies?  Curious about Robert Redford’s box office grosses or which Robert Redford movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Robert Redford movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences and which got the worst reviews? Well, you have come to the right place…. because we have all of that information.

Having taken a small break from writing these movie pages, I decided it was time to do another movie page.  At first, I thought I would do a Robert Mitchum page, but I got stuck with his many many movies in the 1940s, then I thought I would make my mother-in-law happy and do a Disney Live Action Movie page but then I realized that would be a major undertaking as there are hundreds of Disney Live Action movies. Next, I thought I would do an Elvis Presley page but then I realized that I have never even seen one Elvis Presley movie. Then James Coburn popped into my head but turns out many of his movies are pretty bad and he has supporting roles in most of his movies. So, there I was stuck in a rut when I saw a movie clip of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and I realized the Sundance Kid was the way to get out of this rut. So here you go…. a Robert Redford page.

His IMDb page shows over 150 assorted credits from 1960-2025. This page will rank Robert Redford movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television appearances,cameos and straight to DVD movies were not included in the rankings.

  2. Robert Redford has had one of Hollywood’s most versatile careers—as an actor, director, and producer. In A Bridge Too Far (1977), he stood out in the sprawling World War II epic, bringing quiet intensity to a film filled with stars. As a director, he showed a gift for thoughtful, layered storytelling. A River Runs Through It (1992) beautifully captured themes of family, nature, and the passage of time, cementing his reputation behind the camera. Later, with Quiz Show (1994), Redford turned his lens on media, morality, and corruption, creating a sharp, intelligent drama that earned critical acclaim.
