Line #7 YMMV/ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid


1	* AwardSnub: Though it had an otherwise strong showing at the Oscars, Creator/PaulNewman, Creator/RobertRedford, and Katharine Ross were all snubbed for their excellent work. All three were nominated at Bafta however where Redford and Ross won (they were also competing for other movies back when an actor's work could be grouped up).
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The Academy Award winning and utterly delightful "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head".
3	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Butch and Etta goof around on a bicycle, while Burt Bacharach plays in the background.
4	* CriticalDissonance: Some critics initially panned the movie as mediocre or bad (Creator/GeneSiskel and Creator/RogerEbert revealed on their special "[[Series/SiskelAndEbert The Movies That Made Us Critics]]" that they both found it overrated), but over time critical opinion has swung to praising the movie instead, counting it among the greatest movies of all time.
5	* DracoInLeatherPants: AFI's list of the greatest cinematic heroes included the pair of Butch & Sundance. Though they're remarkably charismatic and avoid violence until necessary, the two unrepentant criminals are still quite far from being heroes.
6	* EnsembleDarkHorse: The duo's pursuers, Joe [=LeFors=] and Lord Baltimore, are fairly popular for characters who only appear from a distance, due to their tracking skills and status as TheDreaded {{Hero Antagonist}}s.
7	* HesJustHiding: An odd case considering the film is based on real people. While nothing more was heard from the Sundance Kid after the shootout in Bolivia, there's some fleeting historical evidence that Butch maybe survived and went straight, leading to the film's ambiguous final freeze frame.
8	* HoYay: Butch and Sundance are closer to each other than either is to Etta. Creator/PaulNewman even described the film as a love story between two guys.
9	* ItWasHisSled: The movie is the {{Trope Namer\|s}} for BolivianArmyEnding. How do you think the movie ends?
10	* MemeticMutation:
11	** "Think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?"
12	** “You just keep thinking Butch, that’s what you’re good at.”
13	** "Who ''are'' those guys?"
14	** [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments "You crazy? The]] ''[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments fall]]'' [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments will probably kill ya."]]
15	** For the soundboard prank call community, many will recognize Creator/TedCassidy's character as the typical visual depiction of frequent prank call victim Meat Grinder Mike.
16	* OneTrueThreesome: Butch and The Kid both seem to have a thing for Etta, but damned if there wasn't a heap of HoYay going on between them too.
17	* RetroactiveRecognition:
18	** Creator/SamElliott makes his film debut as one of the card players in Sundance's introductory scene. He would later marry Katharine Ross.
19	** Creator/ClorisLeachman plays a prostitute.
20	* SignatureScene:
21	** Robbing the train with dynamite.
22	** The bicycle ride with anachronistic song accompaniment.
23	** The "rules".
24	** From the cliff to the river.
25	** The BolivianArmyEnding.
26	* TearJerker: The ending, as the duo are presumably killed in the shootout.
27	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: Creator/WilliamGoldman said that many young people saw the super posse as a metaphor for the government and authority during the years of anti-war protests. He said his students said the similarity lay in the relentlessness by which both "would hunt you down."
