Movie-Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

I had never seen this movie all the way through, just bits and pieces, and I was glad I put it in my queue.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (BCATSDK)was released in 1969, almost 40 years ago, but watching it both the stars, Robert Redford and Paul Newman seem ageless. The closest equivalent in male star power that could come close today is if George Clooney and Brat Pitt remade this movie, or The Sting. they had that much charisma and that much sheer personality. And not to sound like I play for the other team, but those were two good looking men!

A western, and a very good one if at times unconventional, and using a bit of art film technique, this film is really good. The last western I saw was 3:10 To Yuma, and that owes a huge homage to BCATSDK.

The two outlaws, on the run from the law in the West, move to Bolivia and take up robbing banks again. That is the premise, but it is done with such elan, that it does not seem weak or silly.

The extra bonus, in the movie soundtrack, Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head is one of the songs. So good!
