Summary: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Blu-ray dvd
Comment: This is a great movie that your whole family will enjoy watching. It is, of course, the first on-screen pairing of the late, great Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The film looks sharp in Blu-ray's 1080p resolution, even in the sepia tones shot for some of the scenes.
This Blu-ray disc (as does the two-disc collectors edition on standard Dvd) also has several worthwhile extras to add to the viewers' enjoyment, including featurettes on the real Butch and Sundance, as well as the Director's commentary.
All in all, a fun film, well worth getting on Blu-ray.

Summary: Butch and Sundance ride into the Sunset
Comment: "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" is a true silver screen classic. Robert Redford and the late Paul Newman were an electrifying duo. Butch Cassidy laments his age (Newman was 44 at the time) Redford is the debonair bandit. They pull off spectacular heists on locomotives, romance the schoolteacher Etta Place (Katherine Ross) and enjoy the fruits of their robberies. Butch and Sundance are portrayed as charming thieves. William Goldman's superb,smart script is as much a highlight as the desert vistas.
Since it was the '60s, Butch and Sundance were romanticized,anti-establishment outlaws. When Butch romances Etta, Burt Bacharach's "Raindrops keep fallin' on my head" plays. There is bubbly a cappella singing as the trio pulls off heists in Bolivia. However,there is a certain ambiguity. Butch and Sundance can be viewed as antiheroes,or as charming villains who prefer robbing from others than earning for themselves. They live their lives on the run. They assume there won't be consequences. Etta Place foretells a violent end for them both.
In reality,Butch and Sundance's whereabouts remain a mystery. Did they end in a blaze of glory,as in the movie? Some say that Butch hid out in the Pacific Northwest,in Washington state,and that Sundance died of dysentery in a Bolivian jail. Rumor has it that Etta Place lived out her days as a madam in Dallas/Fort Worth. All three remain unknown.
Paul Newman was a great actor,but also a great humanitarian. He made a "Hole-in-the-Wall" camp (named for the thieves' encampment in this movie) for seriously ill children. His legacy was as a great entertainer and a great man. Paul Newman RIP (1925-2008)

Summary: A True Classic
Comment: When I heard Paul Newman passed away the other day I immediately thought of all the wonderful movies he was a part of, and Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid is one of my favorites so I had to watch it again.
So many wonderful scenes and lines that I never get tired of seeing - the jump into the river, Sundance (Redford) asking if he can move when shooting and of course Butch (Newman) trying in his own way to have the train doors open. Newman and Redford were a perfect pair for this and their back and forth throughout the movie is priceless.
Wonderful acting, direction and cinematography and the extras on the DVD are great.

Paul Newman and Robert Redford set the standard for the "buddy film" with this box office smash set in the Old West. The Sundance Kid (Redford) is the frontier's fastest gun. His sidekick, Butch Cassidy (Newman), is always dreaming up new ways to get rich fast. If only they could blow open a baggage car without also blowing up the money-filled safe inside... Or remember that Sundance can't swim before they escape a posse by leaping off a cliff into rushing rapids... Times are changing in the west and life is getting tougher. So Butch and Sundance pack their guns, don new duds, and, with Sundance's girlfriend (Katharine Ross), head down to Bolivia. Never mind that they don't speak Spanish - they'll manage somehow. A winner of four Academy Awards (including best screenplay and best song), here is a thoroughly enjoyable blend of fact and fancy done with true affection for a bygone era and featuring the two flashiest, friendliest funniest outlaws who ever called out "hands up!"
