A legendary film about legendary outlaws

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 1999)

I've always considered Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid to be not only the best western of all time, but one of the best films of all time. It's humor, poignancy, and style still hold up after 30 years. After watching this movie one always leaves with a grin on the inside (the box car exploding, the knife fight, and "who are those guys?") no matter how many times one has already viewed this classic. And most importantly, it presented the main characters as real men trying to "earn" a living in the old west. It didn't make them out to be god-like caricatures of "real men", but honest and flawed human beings who found themselves in a captivating story.
