Top 10 Robert Redford movies in order, from worst to best according to IMDb, and where to watch them online

Charles Robert Redford Jr., known as Robert Redford, was born in Santa Monica, California, on August 18, 1936, and died in Provo, California, at the age of 89. Throughout his nearly six-decade career, Redford established himself as a true legend of the silver screen, despite having been honored by the Academy only once, in 1981, for his work as director of ‘Ordinary People.’ Many years later, he would be given justice with an Honorary Oscar in 2002. Although his acting career was the most recognized, thanks to films such as Brubaker and All the President’s Men, his work as a director was not far behind, not only in ‘Ordinary People,’ but also in ‘The Horse Whisperer’ and ‘The Company You Keep.’
