Like Unforgiven, I already owned this one. It’s one of my favorite movies. Even with Redford’s occasionally wooden acting, the movie would be perfect if it weren’t for the few scenes when the director apparently lost his mind for a bit.
William Goldman’s screenplay on the other hand is perfect.
Perfect!
I think William Goldman might be a cyborg sent from the future to write awesome shit, like this screenplay and the novel and screenplay for The Princess Bride (although I am still one of the few humans who feel lukewarm about that movie, just because the book is soooooo much better).
The rapport between Butch and Sundance, the foreshadowing, the amazing dialogue, the brilliant ending… I love this movie!
