 - One of the Best Westerns Ever MadeShould have won best picture for 1969. How MIDNIGHT COWBOY got it, I'll never know. Rating: - THE DEFINITIVE WESTERN BUDDY MOVIE NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD!This is a classic Newman/Redford movie and one of my favorite westerns. I don't know how much of this story is accurate, but it is very entertaining! The two disc set has a great transfer and lots of interesting extras. Rating: - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance KidAt the close of the sixties, Paul Newman and up-and-comer Robert Redford would make the evergreen "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," the first of two hugely popular collaborations with director George Roy Hill. (The other was "The Sting.") No standard western, "Butch" romanticizes the true story of the infamous "Hole in the Wall" gang, creating the ultimate buddy picture, and (thanks to William Goldman's brilliant Oscar-winning screenplay), a movie that's by turns lyrical, hilarious, and tragic. An eternal crowd-pleaser. Rating: - Wonderful picture. It looks brand new.I have loved this movie since I saw it at the drive-in when I was a kid. I watched it on t.v. over the years and felt sad as the film seemed to age. The dvd was such a pleasant surprise, the picture was great/the colors were crisp. Even the sound seemed clearer and more brilliant. The interviews were so wonderful-I was so absorbed in all of the splendor. As a kid, I decided that my favorite scene was the mountain scene (when Butch and Sundance are being chased by the law). I always laugh when Butch says, "The fall will probably kill you!" and then they both jump.
