Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid!

This was originally posted on an older blog but have had to revise the video's due to copywrite withdrawal!

I have many favourite films, all of which will probably make an appearance here, but today's the turn of my all time favourite Western.
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid", made in 1969, staring two favourite actors, Paul Newman as Butch - his death last year saddened me; and Robert Redford as Sundance; has never lost it's appeal, partly because they inter-acted so well together
And, I've lost track of the number of times I've seen the film in the cinema, on TV or on my own well played DVD.
I couldn't possibly write a better review than the one I read HERE.
I've found the two extracts from the movie about two charming, loveable bank robbers & their escapades for a nostalgic fix.
The song "Rain drops keep fallin", frequently runs through my head & the bike scene with Butch & Sundance's girlfriend Etta [Katherine Ross] is a very favourite one..

And, the finalle sequence, I always want to to end differently & it still brings a tear to my eye when it of course doesn't...

Now this is one of my favorites, too! I saw this movie the first day it was released. Since then, I've seen it way too many times to count. I actually shed a few tears when I heard about the death of Paul Newman. He was a gem. It is obvious in this movie and The Sting that these two were good friends in real life. I can't hear Raindrops without thinking of this movie. I don't have time to watch all the videos this morning, but will be back later to enjoy. BJ
