With a career spanning over 60 years, Robert Redford remains the ideal American actor: always effortlessly charming, but also thoughtful, curious, and grounded.
January's films each focus on a different facet of Redford's persona -- the Romantic Lead, the Social Conscience, the Homegrown Hero, and the Ringleader.
February wraps up this series with two of the most beloved buddy films ever made: his collaborations with the equally iconic Paul Newman, with the pair playing outlaws and con men, while remaining deeply, disarmingly likeable.

February 3: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Loosely based on a true story of fast-draws, wild rides, train robberies, a torrid love affair, and a new lease on outlaw life in far away Bolivia, this revered buddy Western is also a character study of a remarkable friendship between Butch (Paul Newman) -- possibly the most likeable outlaw in frontier history -- and his closest associate, the fabled, ever-dangerous Sundance Kid (Robert Redford).
As Sundance, Redford is laconic and impossibly cool -- a role that cemented Redford as a new kind of outlaw. His off-the-charts chemistry with Newman made the two an iconic pair for the ages.
"Note-perfect performances, a screenplay steeped in both nostalgia and a timely sense of insight, and anti-heroes you can't help but love: it's no surprise that the always re-watchable Butch And Sundance was once labelled the most likeable film ever made." —Bob McCabe, Empire Magazine
