One of my all time movies..Great actor and great guy!!

 

[RockAndSage]

Oh, would I love to know just how many people got into muzzleloading and rendezvousing because of that movie...

 

[Pony Soldier]

Great actor but way to much of an enviro for me. The older he got the less I liked him.

 

[thinhorn_AK]

I got a picture with him when I was like 9 or 10 years old. He was in my town to film the "Milagro Beanfield War". sort of weird, my dad still has that photo, I randomly saw it last time I was visiting and we were going through old stuff.

 

[Alpinedrifter]

Class act and inspirational legend for sure.

I killed my first bull elk in 12’ with a Hawken .54!

Me!

All time favorite movie.

That literally had me lol when I read it, one of the best parts of the movie. Also, to this day, I can't hear or think of a Last Will & Testament of any kind, without hearing "of sound mind, and broke legs..."

One of the movies my Father took me to see

Some say he's dead, some say he never will be. RIP

How JJ met supporting characters in the movie were awesome.

“Twernt the Mormons” is the other quote that makes me laugh every time.

“Elk don’t know how many feet a horse has!” The entire movie is a quotable quote.

As Hollywood types go, he was tolerable and one of the best by a long mile. He was quite the enviro but I’ll take an enviro over someone who wants to sell it all to line their pockets. Hard to look past anyone being a good friend of Jane Fonda. But it is what it is. He had a lot of qualities I liked too. Robert Redford made good and really good movies during the span of my entire life. It’s hard not to be a little sad at his passing.

One of my all time favorite movie quotes from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid:

"Have enough dynamite, Butch?"

 

[RockAndSage]

Hard to look past anyone being a good friend of Jane Fonda.

As a great man once said to me, "Wars come and go - but hating Jane Fonda is forever."

RR was the man! Watch Jeremiah Johnson religiously every year before hunting season. We lost a legend

 

[mtnwrunner]

Must have seen JJ 100 times.
All time favorite.

Loved JJ, but didn’t care for RR. He was part of the beginning of the end for rural utah.
Best JJ quote-
JJ: Where you headed?
Del: same place you are Jeremiah, hell, in the end.
