Thinking of Robert Redford, what a career. Sneakers is one of my favorite films, and arguably the best film about computers ever made. All the President’s Men is so good. Watched both of these countless times. (Also just learned his mother was born in Austin.) 🍿

@manton IMHO Sneakers aged quite well compared to other heist/hacker films.

@thebigbabooski Totally. There is something almost timeless about it.

@manton The Great Waldo Pepper holds up.

@bloftin2 That’s one I haven’t seen!

@manton Embarrassed to admit that I have never seen Sneakers, but I will remedy that. One of my favorite of his movies is Spy Game.

@manton no.more.secrets – what a movie, a fav for sure.

@manton Spy Game and Last Castle are not to be missed. They both came out in 2001 if memory serves.

@manton Two of my favorites from him (Sneakers is my all-time favorite movie)!

Barefoot in the Park rounds out my top 3 Redford films.

Definitely watching all 3 this week.

@manton I think this scene features the most dramatic update to a networked database in cinema.

@thebigbabooski Great scene.

@thebigbabooski @manton think of this scene every time you press ‘enter’ and your life becomes unbearably exciting. I charge nothing for this tip.

@writingslowly lol

@manton As a blind guy, I absolutely loved Sneakers. So many movies have blind folks portrayed in such a horrible way, but watching Sneakers, I thought wow, there’s someone I wanna be like when i grow up. :)

@SteveSawczyn It’s an amazing character. “What did it sound like…”
