Favorite movie of all time

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2004)

Perhaps a love story as much as a western, this movie chronicles and romanticizes the relationship of Robert Leroy Parker (Butch) and Harry Longabaugh (Sundance). Newman and Redford were never better together. Amply supported by Strother Martin, Katherine Ross, Ted Cassidy, Jeff Corey, this has to be a must-see on any true movie fan's list.
Butch and Sundance were still outlaws, but George Roy Hill's account of their life and times comes surprisingly close to capturing the true events. Newman and Redford obviously add to the charm, but Butch was supposedly a charming outlaw. Sundance and other gang members were the ones who ever shot anyone, but not Butch. If there was such a thing as a gentleman outlaw, Butch was supposed to be it.
