Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid

By very late 1960s old fashion shoot ‘em up westerns were slowly fading away, until this film arrived and breathed new life into the dying genre. Paul Newman and Robert Redford star as the historical outlaws who are on the run from the law in the 1890s. The film stood out thanks to its contemporary score, Oscar winning screenplay, and the chemistry of the main leads.
