Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 1969




Director: George Roy Hill
Stars: Paul Newman, Robert Redford









"Kid, who's the best lawman?"
"Best?.... You mean the toughest, or easiest to bribe?"


Bank robbers Butch (Newman) and Sundance (Redford) lead the famed bank-robbing "Hole in the Wall" gang, that is until some pretty big hot shots decide to put a price on their heads. So, they head to Bolivia, for a change of scenery (to prolong their lives), and continue their lovely lifestyle down there. Until the law catches up with them again.

This is a classic. Absolutely hilarious, and beautiful. Very interesting ending. I love it and hate it. The end, I mean. I really like the movie; it's very worth the 2 hours!! I promise! (I've seen it twice!) And did I mention Paul Newman and Robert Redford are in it?? Dreamy!!

NOTE: William Goldman wrote the screenplay; he's also the writer of The Princess Bride (the novel and the screenplay), The Ghost and the Darkness, and Maverick, among many others. Thanks, Mr. Goldman-- I'm a fan!
