best redford and newman movie

Rating: Null/10 (25 November 2006)

Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid is outstanding. I loved it when I was in school when it first came out and years later its still funny, sad, and the movie that inspired the buddy films, none of which are as good. Redford is capable of comedic roles, if you see Barefoot in the Park, you know what I mean. Yes, they were great together again in the Sting but that movie didn't have the chemistry that Butch and Sundance have, and Katherine Ross looks every bit as gorgeous as she did in The Graduate. Terrific cinematography, and comic but insightful dialogue. And who can forget the scene when the horses come flying out of the train. Perhaps we have all felt at some time in our lives the way Katherine Ross did when she wanted to go to Bolivia: "I'm 28, single and a teacher".....
