				"It's

				I never want to

				Sundance Kid 
				Why watch this? 
				It's really fun to see Newman and Redford having such a good 
				time. 
				Plot Summary: Two 
				notorious outlaws, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, rob banks 
				and trains in the late 1800s American West. Facing relentless 
				pursuit by a skilled posse, they flee with Sundance's 
				girlfriend, Etta Place, to Bolivia seeking a fresh start. 
				However, their attempts to escape their past lead to a series of 
				humorous and action-packed events as they continue their 
				criminal ways. Dad's Preview: 
				This film certainly stands out as different among 
				Westerns of its time. Newman and Redford portray the famous 
				real-life bank robbers, Butch and Sundance. The film's quip-filled dialog almost doesn't fit the 
				era, but I can let that slide, as it helps the 
				film flow. During the movie, we root for our anti-heroes to 
				escape the law, get across the Mexican border, and make it to Bolivia. 
				But even there, they still become wanted men. The lauded film won four Oscars.
