Starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford as the infamous real-life outlaws, BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID (1969) appears on AFI’s original and 10th anniversary lists of the greatest American films – and the dynamic duo of Butch and Sundance were co-ranked #20 among AFI’s greatest screen heroes. Their exploits also earned them a place on AFI’s list of the art form’s most heart-pounding adventures – and their softer side was illustrated by “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my Head,” named by AFI as one of cinema’s great songs.
