Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

[Plain Old Tele]

Who are these guys?

They say crime doesn't pay, but it does make good stories. Newman and Redford are always a joy on the screen, and their more and more desperate flight from the long arm of the law is one of the more original takes on the western genre.

[Plain Old Tele]

It basically created the buddy action movie genre.You could put it up there with JAWS and STAR WARS in terms of influencing blockbusters in the '80s, '90s, and even today.

It had some funny parts and the 2 leads are terrific but it ultimately becomes too repetitive when they keep robbing banks and getting endlessly chased.

Haven't seen this in a while, but its a tremendously fun movie

Absolutely loved it. Newman and Redford work so well together and they're both so funny that they had me rolling a couple of times. It's very refreshing to see this kind of western and it doesn't hurt when you have one of the best cinematographers that ever lived lensing it.

Awesome movie. Newman and Redford are perfect in their roles. The story is fun as hell too.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is widely considered a classic Western. I'd have to agree with that. The film never stops being entertaining after its character-driven opening, and every scene in it is useful to move forward the narrative. Newman and Redford have outstanding chemistry and totally embody their fun characters. The cinematography is gorgeous, and particularly cool in how it plays with color and depth-of-field. Director George Roy Hill puts a few esoteric touches on the film that makes it feel quite unique. It might be slow at points, but delightfully so, because you won't want to leave these characters. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a outstanding Western and a great movie, with pitch-perfect direction and perfect performances. A

Very good! A- The music is the key because it centers around four or five music videos all in all. The first act is a tad too slow maybe, but when they get to the waterfalls, and thereafter Bolivia, it's a work of amazing pop culture of the late 60's. The humor still stands strong when those poor gringos try to speak espanol. Much more inspired than the so so The Sting.
