Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid


Yeehaw...

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is ranked 73 on AFI's 100 Greatest Movies. On the tenth anniversay list, it fell twenty-three places, but is still ranked as one of the best westerns of all time.

The film follows the antics of two infamous train robbers: Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) and his partner The Sundance Kid (Robert Redford) as they attempt to escape from the law. The film came out in 1969, and received almost immediate acclaim; according to Wikipedia, "...Adjusted for inflation, the film ranks among the top 100 grossing movies of all time and the top 10 for its decade".
