Summary: Perfect Movie Entertainment
Review: William Goldman's script for "Butch Cassidy" should be a textbook for budding screenwriters. The film is exciting, funny, witty, gripping and memorable. This film reminds you why we enjoy the movies: not for the current era most typified by George Lucas' special effects, poor scripts and "shove-it down their throats marketing and toy merchandizing." With "Butch Cassidy," the crowds were brought in by a good product, not brain-washing. Burt Bacharach's memorable music score, the suporting cast and scenery are added bonuses. This is a smart film that all ages will love!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Entertainment Experience
Review: This is one of the most satisfying films ever made. The movie excels on a number of planes...impeccable cast with extraordinary chemistry, including Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Katherine Ross...spectacular scenery and cinematography...a serendipitous musical score by Burt Bacharach, featuring "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head"...great direction by George Roy Hill, who later directed "The Sting"...and an amusing storyline about an effusively optimistic bank/train robber, his pragmatic gun-slinging partner, and their beautiful schoolmarm girlfriend. Butch and Sundance try to stay one step ahead of a faceless but relentless posse as they wander from the American west to South America, via New York City, in search of one more bank to rob.

Of all the many things to enjoy in this film, none is better than the dialogue. The movie won a number of Academy Awards, including best story and screenplay. Memorable lines abound. Butch outlines his latest scheme to Sundance and smiles contentedly, "I've got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals." In a later scene, a man named Harvey Logan (Ted Cassidy) challenges Butch to a gun or knife fight for control of the "Hole in the Wall Gang." Butch mutters to Sundance, "Maybe there's a way to make a profit in this..." He glances over at his taller, stronger adversary and frowns, "...bet on Logan." Sundance immediately replies, "I would... but who'd bet on you?" This is a production with flawless artistry...a monument to the entertaining value of the medium of film.

Summary: One of the best classics of all time!
Review: This is without a doubt one of the best classic movies I've ever seen and probably ever will see. I don't watch that many movies that were made before the 80's very often, but I have watched this movie about 5 times. It's a great film that features two of the best actors of all time in Robert Redford and Paul Newman. The duo robbed one too many trains and that sets them off on a fast-paced journey to the tops of mountains, through towns, and many other places while trying to keep from being caught by people who are after them. For a nice subplot, the whole time, they both want the same woman.

I recommend anyone to buy this movie cause it's a timeless classic to say the least. If you haven't seen it yet, you got to. It's one adventure you won't ever forget!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is a classic and has to be available any time
Review: This is much more than just a classic Western or one of the first "buddy" movies. It marks an important stage in the history of US and world cinematography. It HAS to be made available for this reason as well as for the pure joy it still gives. R. Redford said he considered his part in it the most important role he ever played. Well - to make a long story short - let's make it available for everybody once again.

Thanks

Summary: Who ARE those guys?
Review: Thee best buddy film ever made! George Roy Hill kicks ass as Director and helped make Robert Redford a star. Paul Newman is completely squeezeable as the Sundance Kid's only friend and Katherine Ross is gorgeous. Sharp, funny dialogue between Newman & Redford. A must see!!! I've almost worn out my tape. Am waiting patiently for the DVD release...as well as looking for the documentary on the making of the film {sigh}

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful! A great feat in Hollywood!
Review: Although Redford and Newman look nothing like the characters they're playing, they turn in excellent performances as bank robbers of the old west. Though the ending is sad, the movie is still a masterpiece. Ross is pretty good in her role as the girlfriend of Newman. If you're bored and you need a good movie to watch, this is it! Some very enjoyable and unforgettable scenes pop up. Like the scene with the Oscar-winning song "Raindrops are Falling on my Head", or the incredible finale. Don't miss it!!!

Summary: Do you really like this film?
Review: I saw this movie recently and was surprised at how completely unwatchable it was. Robert Redford and Paul Newman mug their way through the action from start to finish, looking much more like self-conscious movie stars than train robbers or gun-slingers of the old west.

"Butch and Sundance" is not completely without interest to the casual observer of American cultural sensibilities, however. The most significant moment in the film by far is the scene where Paul rides his bicycle around a barnyard, flashing his legendary grin for all the world to see. As the dream-like Katherine Ross gazes at him adoringly, we hear B.J. Thomas sing Burt Bacharach's "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head." As I watched this taking place, I realized that I was witnessing the birth of the 1970s.

In spite of such curiosities, "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid" is quite simply one of the most overrated Hollywood films of all time. If you want to see an excellent film from that era about "the old west," I would suggest you get a copy of Robert Altman's "McCabe and Mrs. Miller."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is one of the greatest movies ever made.
Review: I love this movie. This is one of my favorite movies. I love Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Katherine Ross. And I love the song "raindrops keep fallin' on my head!". You have to watch this movie. The last scene is very touching. I really recommend to watch it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: " Who are those guys."
Review: Paul Newman and Robert Redford star in this classic western about two outlaws, who make a living by robbing trains until a possie is formed to capture them, so they flee to Boliva. It has plenty action scenes as wll as comedy. Newman and Redford work very well together and create one of the most memorable buddy films.
