Here are some of his most famous films:

- ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ (1969) -

Based on a true story, the love triangle romance at its core took place to the tune of Burt Bacharach’s “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head”.

The film was also the beginning of a close friendship between Redford and Newman.

- ‘The Sting’ (1973) -

Redford and Newman teamed up again as con artists in George Roy Hill's “The Sting” (1973), which won Redford his only nomination for an Oscar for best actor.

Set in 1936 in Chicago, with a ragtime score, it tells the story of two grifers who carry out the ultimate con of a crime boss called Doyle Lonnegan, played by Robert Shaw.
