Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid
One of the most popular screen westerns ever made, this Academy Award winning classic blends adventure, romance and comedy to tell the true story of the West's most likeable outlaws. No one is quicker than Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) when it comes to get rich quick schemes, and his sidekick Sundance (Robert Redford) is a wizard with a gun. When these two bungling bank and train robbers tire of running from the law, they set out for Bolivia with Sundance's girlfriend (Katharine Ross). Though they can barely speak enough Spanish to communicate 'This is a stick-up', that's only a minor detail to the two nicest "bad-guys" who ever rode the West.

i'm not normally a western fan, the only westerns i like besides butch cassidy and the sundance kid are the two young guns part one, young guns part two and back to the future part three (it's a sci fi western i know, i know but i's still a wstern). if anyone likes the classics (even if you are not a classic movie or a western fan, this is a good movie. the movie stars robert redford, paul newnan and katherine ross.....Surprised! - Schtinker
I don't like westerns....I really don't like old movies at all but I have to say I really, really enjoyed this one! I would have never thought that I would. It was very entertaining! It has such humour in it that it was hard not to laugh. The chemistry between Butch and Sundance was great. I was very entertainted by the whole thing. Of course it was a little long sometimes, or it seemed to be...but that could just be because I have my bias. My boyfriend loves this movie!Classic buddy western - Opinheimer
For some reason I was expecting this to be a comedy, but aside from Paul Newman's lighthearted character and the odd amusing moments (like Robert Redford's disgusted reaction upon arriving in Bolivia), it's a solid western that follows the story of two friends who just can't seem to put their lives as outlaws behind them, no matter how hard they try. The chemistry between the two leads is great, and there are plenty of exciting scenes where they get themselves into tough situations that they have to battle their way out of. A classic western.
