Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) – The star power and the leads’ chemistry drive the film, which has a good sense of humor (although the script repeatedly veers into Hollywood cutesiness and Ross’s character, the third wheel, gets short shrift) and great cinematography (although Hill’s a bit too enamored with the scenery, which leads to some pacing and tension issues); then, of course, there’s the bad and badly dated anachronistic music choices; nevertheless, it’s worth watching, both because of its own merits and because of its status as the granddaddy of the buddy action movie. 7
