One of my all time favorite westerns

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2014)

George Roy Hill's magnificent Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is ironic in two ways, it is very funny, and it is based on true events. Besides the movie being a story it is more of a character study that tells us more about Butch and Sundance. The movie stars Paul Newman As Butch Cassidy and Robert Redford as the Sundance Kid two outlaw teammates who rob lots of trains together in their careers as criminals, and then run to Bolivia while on the run from the law and both get shot to death (sorry to spoil it for you if you haven't seen the movie, or don't know the history behind it.) Hill directs this movie with great effort as much as he did with his next film starring Newman and Redford which was The Sting (1973. I also forgot to mention the very good casting for this movie (besides Newman and Redford) which also includes Katharine Ross, and Sam Elliot ( who is uncredited for this movie). This movie was a total great in my opinion and one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
