highly recommended

This 1969 film has never lost its popularity or its unusual appeal as a star-driven Western that tinkers with the genre's conventions and comes up with something both terrifically entertaining and--typical of its period--a tad paranoid. Paul Newman plays the legendary outlaw Butch Cassidy as an eternal optimist and self-styled visionary, conjuring dreams of banks just ripe for the picking all over the world. Robert Redford is his more levelheaded partner, the sharpshooting Sundance Kid. The film, written by William Goldman (The Princess Bride) and directed by George Roy Hill (The Sting), basically begins as a freewheeling story about robbing trains but soon becomes a chase as a relentless posse--always seen at a great distance like some remote authority--forces Butch and Sundance into the hills and, finally, Bolivia. Weakened a little by feel-good inclinations (a scene involving bicycle tricks and the song "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" is sort of Hollywood flower power), the movie maintains an interesting tautness, and the chemistry between Redford and Newman is rare. (A factoid: Newman first offered the Sundance part to Jack Lemmon.) --Tom Keogh

I have loved this movie for many years, and it is even better on Blu-ray. The chase scenes through the valleys and hills are absolutely beautiful. Even the bicycle scene is more enjoyable with a crisp picture.

This movie is in my top 5. The best of the old west. Newman and Redford both give great performances, and their interaction on screne is unmatched. And certainly not to be over-looked, Katherine Ross plays her strong female role beautifully.

I could watch this movie over and over and over...

My Favorite Western!

I still love this movie. I have since I was young. It's fun, funny and utterly charming. The story of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is told as a vehicle for Paul Newman and Robert Redford who were at the height of their popularity at the time. Robert Redford actually became a bigger star and Paul Newman really never lost much popularity. He was always big! This established them as a team which went on the make The Sting. Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head is a classic song and a great interlude in the film. It just drifts on to its sad denouement. Highly recommended.

A True Classic

When I heard Paul Newman passed away the other day I immediately thought of all the wonderful movies he was a part of, and Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid is one of my favorites so I had to watch it again.

So many wonderful scenes and lines that I never get tired of seeing - the jump into the river, Sundance (Redford) asking if he can move when shooting and of course Butch (Newman) trying in his own way to have the train doors open. Newman and Redford were a perfect pair for this and their back and forth throughout the movie is priceless.

Wonderful acting, direction and cinematography and the extras on the DVD are great.
