Great flick!

I really liked Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (which also starred Newman and Redford). I love to “go back in time” and watch movies from other eras. I'm really looking forward to this one.

Great movie, but I've heard that the DVD leaves a lot to be desired.

How so? Do you mean the extra features?

I mean everything, including the transfer and sound. It's gotta be better than the copy I have, though, which is an earlier pan-and-scan DVD with no extras.

I never watch the extras. I watch most of the older movies on VHS anyway, so it probably won't matter to me.

I just watched it. I knew that it won best picture in 1974, but I had no idea that it also won 6 other Academy Awards and was nominated for three more. It’s a great movie that stands the test of time. The plot is very clever and includes several little twists. It’s definitely a fun movie to watch.

I almost cracked this movie open a few days ago, but decided to watch The Inside Man instead. This will probably be the next movie that I watch.
