But you said you

I have never quite worked out why I like this movie so much. Based on a true story, and according the the sister of Butch Cassidy, it accurately portrays that character.
Butch and Sundance are 2 wild west outlaws whose daring robberies get them chased all across the wild west in spectacular fashion. Finally they leave for Bolivia where they start a new crime spree.
Taking the 1960s and 70s idea of crime as a great adventure it shows these characters as human. Certainly something different from the movies showing the slow talking, fasting shooting John Wayne types.
It shows crime for what it is and the consequences. The ending is open ended because rumours still persist that they really moved to Argentina to become ranchers (recent digs in the town in Bolivia have failed to find their remains).
No other Western movie has quite managed to capture the feel of this movie, one of the fun ones (I even liked the bicycle riding sequence, though many friends felt it was a waste of time).
