Yes , really good film.
May give Spy Games a watch at the weekend now.
Brubaker is the one I really want to revisit.

We re watched Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid fairly recently & while RR was good in it, it was a poor film with long sections that dragged & incidentally a rose tinted account of the lives of a couple of awful people. It hasnāt aged well.
The one I would like to re watch is this
But he was in a lot of good films, All the Presidentās Men being another.
Three Days of the Condor is prob my favourite RR film and of course a certain shaggy red labradoodle was named after him too.
I forgot that heād also appeared with Newman in another great film, the Sting which we rewatched a couple of years ago & it does stand up.
Iām going to watch āAll Is Lostā (2013) soon if I can find it.
Heard someone review it on the radio today.
The yacht of a man, who is on a solo voyage, collides with a shipping container. With his scanty supplies depleting, the sailor braves extreme conditions to survive.
1 hour 45 min and only 51 words spoken apparently.
Watching now
Stings one of my favourite films
The 2nd one was a disappointment if I remember rightly
No Newman & Redford
Heās undoubtedly made better movies, but I really love Spy Game for some reason.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid still holds up strongly for me - as does the OST.
āWho are those guys?!ā
Itās such a classic western with elements of nonsense which give it great pauses in the pursuit of the adrenaline rush of being on the run. The truth itās a movie
So sad.
Poo.
Claudia Cardinale, 23rd September 2025. ![]()
Iāve never heard of her, but this line from the opening of her wikipedia page is fascinating:
Cardinale won the āMost Beautiful Italian Girl in Tunisiaā competition in 1957
That feels like quite a niche competition!
