Oh, for me it’s not about politics on this one (Butch Cassidy). I just don’t think Damon and Affleck have the acting chops to even *begin* to match Newman and Redford’s performances in that one.

I agree, Redford was excellent in Butch Cassidy. My favorite Redford role, though, will always be Jeremiah Johnson (loved Will Geer in that one, too).

Will Geer was a great actor, but talk about Reds!!

I used to like just about anything Redford acted in; then he started leaning to more message-type movies and really disappointed me, still there has been a few worth seeing in his later career, Newman was just flat out a good actor who went to work, did his job and then returned to his real life in Connecticut. I think it kept him grounded and he brought that to his roles.
