Well that's settled, I need to start keeping notes on how to be a con-woman as well as a heister! What a caper! LOVED Robert Redford and Paul Newman in this and also Robert Shaw was awesome! Any more con-man movies I should check out?

2023-01-22 18:07:58 +0000 UTCGreat reactions, Jen! I just love to see your jaw drop and eyes get wide when you see something that astounds you. One thing you mentioned in your intro is that you want to watch “Cool Hand Luke” (1967), but it came in second place in your poll. I know I’ve said this before, but I can’t stress it enough. If you WANT to watch a movie for the channel, WATCH IT! You don’t have to wait until it wins some poll, or there are a lot of requests for it. Yeah, Paul Newman and Robert Redford are one of the greatest acting duos of all time. Sure, there are character duos such as Riggs and Murtaugh in the “Lethal Weapon” series, Marty McFly and Doc Brown in the “Back To The Future” trilogy, Rocky and Apollo Creed and Adrian in the “Rocky” series, etc. But those are the same characters in the same roles. With actors such as Paul Newman and Robert Redford, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, etc. they play different roles in their various movie projects together. And the film chemistry is palpable in their movies. According to Dollars.com, $500,000 in 1936 would equate to $10,676,181.08 today. Something I’ve only just noticed in the last couple of times I’ve watched “The Sting” – Luther Coleman (Hooker’s partner) was played by Robert Earl Jones (AKA Robertearl Jones), James Earl Jones’ father. And now that I know that, I can never unsee it and can’t believe I didn’t make the connection until recently. I will whole-heartedly second you watch, “Three Days of the Condor” (1975). Also “Sneakers” (1992) is a pretty good suspense ride.

2023-01-20 16:21:06 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed this reaction! Paul Newman plays a pool shark in “The Hustler” (1961). Then Martin Scorsese made a sequel to it 25 years later called “The Color of Money” (1986) with Paul Newman and Tom Cruise. Both excellent movies I'm sure you'd love, and would possibly convince you to take-up playing pool. 😁👌

2023-01-20 08:12:46 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favorites. Interestingly it produced Redford's only Academy Award nomination in the acting category, which he won. It sits near a significant change from older films to newer ones, in that credits were shorter (the guy who made the ranch dip for the craft services table didn't get an on-screen credit, for instance) and It was common to put Major credits at the front of the movie rather than the back end. Marvin Hamlish's win for the core was controversial for a while, since most of the music was written by Scott Joplin in the earliest parts of the 20th century. Interestingly Joplin's music was as ancient to folks at the time of the movie's setting (Sept 1936) as the setting was to the movie's audience. The soundtrack was hugely popular, with the main theme "The Entertainer" reaching the Billboard top 10 in early 1974. Redford was on quite a hot streak beginning with this film -- His next 6 movies after The Sting were 3 Days of the Condor, All the President's Men, The Electric Horseman, Brubaker, The Natural, and Out of Africa.I would recommend looking at all of these starting with 3 Days of the Condor.

2023-01-20 06:44:46 +0000 UTCHalf a million dollars in 1936 is like 10 million today, but only 1.7 million in 1974 when the movie was made.

2023-01-20 05:21:30 +0000 UTCYes, that is most definitely Ragtime music. I mentioned this in the poll post, but this soundtrack album was beloved by my stepmom so I grew up listening to all of the songs. $11,000 in 1933 is equal to about $250,000 today, so that was a wad of cash.

2023-01-20 04:13:47 +0000 UTCIt is hard to go wrong with any movie starring either Robert Redford or Paul Newman, especially when they are starring alongside another big name.
