"Note-perfect performances, a screenplay steeped in both nostalgia and a timely sense of insight, and anti-heroes you can't help but love: Butch and Sundance may be the most likeable film ever made.” - Empire

“Paul Newman, his dazzling blue eyes never more piercing, is Butch, leader of the notorious Hole In The Wall Gang and a visionary bank robber.

50th Anniversary of this landmark film! " I cannot recall a more marvelous pair of acting performances in any one film. " - Gene Siskell, Chicago Tribune

“Midnight Cowboy stars Jon Voight as Joe Buck: tall, tanned and beautiful but he’s a man with no one, passing through the script of a wretched life.
