Scott Fitzgerald Genres: Indie & Art House, Drama 4hr 3min ***THE GREAT GATSBY (1974, Widescreen, English, Subtitled, 143 min): Robert Redford is an interesting casting choice as Gatsby, the millionaire isolated in his mansion, still dreaming of the woman he lost.

The film won two Oscars for costumes and musical score ***BIOGRAPHY (A&E, 1999, Full Screen, English, 100 min): Robert Redford has dazzled movie audiences for nearly 40 years, but who-s the man behind the Greek-god looks? This intimate portrait explores Redford's early years of rebellion; the woman who turned his life around; the passion for set design that led him to acting; his roles in such classics as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "The Sting"; and his fierce determination to keep his private life private.
