My 150 Favorite Movies - #81

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

Butch Cassidy may not have single-handedly created the "bromance" genre, however, it did breathe new life into that which may have been dormant to that point. Paul Newman and Robert Redford exude so much masculine sex appeal alone, that together they make dynamite. With Newman and Redford playing rebel outlaws of the Old West in what is presumably a fact-based account, the screen almost literally becomes combustible. The film won four Academy Awards, including Best Song ("Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head"), and in 2003 was selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
