Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), 4 stars

Watched this recently and it holds up very well after 40+ years (let's hope that all of us can say the same about ourselves...).

Of course, Paul Newman (Cool Hand Luke) (look at those eyes!) and Robert Redford (The Natural) are excellent, as is Katherine Ross (The Graduate).

The dialogue works incredibly well, still, especially between Newman and Redford, some of which has to be 'ad lib'. And there is the signature phrase 'Who are those guys, anyway?'

The film quality is decent also. And the Burt Bacharach music is delightful.

Worth seeing (and hearing) again and again.
