Babs and Bob. Two actors (that's Barbara Streisand and Robert Redford) who are just stunning together on camera, playing characters who really were never gonna work for the long haul. Or would they, could they? She's a strident antiwar protester, and he's a privileged, drifting guy who often gets by on his good looks. Oh, and she's Jewish and he's ...
Redford's back for this one, but this time he's behind the camera.

War's human costs — even to the ostensible "enemy" — are rarely weighed on the same scale as grand, historical victories. (Not Rated)
It's hard to say if Oscar-nominated Robin Williams' John Keating is a good English teacher. What he excels in when he's hired at a conservative Vermont prep school is actually stirring the pot and possibly getting his straitlaced students to think outside the box. Some do, and it's a glorious blossoming. Some don't, with tragic results. The things ...
