Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
This 1969 film has never lost its popularity or its unusual appeal as a star-driven Western that tinkers with the genre's conventions and comes up with something both terrifically entertaining and--typical of its period--a tad paranoid. Paul Newman plays the legendary outlaw Butch Cassidy as an eternal optimist and self-styled visionary, conjuring dreams of banks just ripe for the picking all over the world. Robert Redford is his more levelheaded partner, the sharpshooting Sundance Kid. The film, written by William Goldman (The Princess Bride) and directed by George Roy Hill (The Sting), basically begins as a freewheeling story about robbing trains but soon becomes a chase as a relentless posse--always seen at a great distance like some remote authority--forces Butch and Sundance into the hills and, finally, Bolivia. Weakened a little by feel-good inclinations (a scene involving bicycle tricks and the song "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" is sort of Hollywood flower power), the movie maintains an interesting tautness, and the chemistry between Redford and Newman is rare. (A factoid: Newman first offered the Sundance part to Jack Lemmon.) --Tom Keogh




Rating: - NEEDS REMASTERING. FILM: Wonderful. Transfer: Not so much...
The transfer of this film appears to be the same MPEG transfer as the one used for the DVD version. It DOES NOT appear to be a new 1080p 4k re-mastering of the film. This is not to say that it doesn't look much better in Blu-Ray than it does on DVD. But it is not, evidently, a brand new 1080p 4k transfer made expressly for Blu-Ray release. This can cause some problems, depending on your display system and settings. You may have to select a different input palette or profile on your display, or adjust ... Read More

Rating: - Great Blue-ray redo
I was impressed with the remake of this blu-ray movie. I enjoyed, so much, the original, and the remake is vivid and yet not overdone. Great job, and blu-ray is awesome. Delightful movie

Rating: - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Blu-ray dvd
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. ... Read More

Rating: - Butch and Sundance ride into the Sunset
"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.

Rating: - A True Classic
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 ... Read More
