Brief Synopsis (from Netflix)Legendary outlaws Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) and the Sundance Kid (Robert Redford) display their gifts for perfect comedic timing and charisma as they pull off heist after heist in this Academy Award-winning film from director George Roy Hill. To evade a relentless posse, the boys flee to Bolivia, thinking they'll find easier pickings there. But trouble finds the charming desperadoes wherever they go, prompting yet another run.

Rain drops keep falling on my head.
In case you forgot, or if you didn't read it, the last western we watched was never even finished. So when I sat down for this movie I was nervous, not like uncomfortable just not in the mood to sit through another boring western. Fortunately, I was pleasently surprised.
This movie was far from the greatest thing on earth, but it had a charm. A great deal of this charm is from the fact that both Newman and Redford are superb actors. They gave life and individuality to two very similiar characters.
Another part of this movies charm is it's choice of music. Watching Newman riding that bike around
while hearing the song my quote was from was ridiculous. Ridiculous but charming non the less.
Final thoughts- If your looking for a bad ass gunslinging western, starring a grizzled old cowboy don't watch this movie. It never really takes itself to seriously and is kinda fun. I wouldn't put it on my list but it is a western I don't dislike, which is saying a lot actually.
