Just went through his filmography on wikipedia and I've seen zero Robert Duvall films. I've read To Kill a Mockingbird and never seen any of The Godfathers or The Natural.

God tier actor, I always loved the sense he was enjoying what he did in all his parts, it probably affected the roles he played but he gave off a genuine sense of joy in his craft, I suspect it is also why he turned up in great odd little roles over the years

He was in so much it's hard not to see something he was in over the years. I looked very quickly and I think I've seen at least 18 movies, but it's probably a fair bit more than that.

The Godfather obviously for me is at the top of the list. Such a classic and he was quite good in it.

Oh man, 95 is a life well lived for him. I think I'm in the mid teens on his Filmography, noticing ones like Days of Thunder that I saw as a kid but don't remember his role well (Harvey's had a DoT meal that came with neon sunglasses, which I do remember...)

The Natural and M*A*S*H always come to mind for me

First movie I saw him in was Newsies. Fantastic movie with Christian Bale and Bill Pullman, where Duvall plays Joseph Pulitzer trying to quell the newsboys strike.


It's a musical, although Duvall doesn't sing or dance. Bale does, though.

One of my favorite Duvall roles and films is Open Range. One of the best Westerns made im the last 20 years

Definitely a titan among his peers!!

Open Range always struck me as a sort of sequel to the TV mini series Lonesome Dove which was a great series
