Holy shit it's that old? I remember my parents going to see it at the drive in with us kids sleeping in the back seat.
And yes it is a great movie. |

I ended up blind buying it on HD DVD back in the day. Turned out to be one of my favorite movies. The part where Newman plays a drunk and keeps getting Lonnegan's name wrong is probably my favorite part.

It's a masterpiece. It fed my love for the 1930s, particularly the clothing.

I finally got around to watching it a few months ago. Great flick. I've been trying to hit some of the "classics" lately instead of the crap that is coming out of Hollywood today.

Released before I was born but I've probably seen it a dozen times.

One of the top films of the 1970s and one of the top 10 of all time.
Brilliant movie with top shelf acting. |

A great movie from an era when Hollywood knew how to make great movies. Alas.

Loved it. My favorite movie back then. It holds up well even today.

Butch Cassidy was another great collaboration between Newman and Redford
|

[#23]
That movie was released in 1973.
The time period it portrayed was the 1930's. That is comparable to a movie coming out today portraying events in the early 1980's. Wild. |

I could name on one hand all of the movies my parents took us to. The Sting is one of them.

Never saw it and knew nothing about it until sometime last year. Really enjoyed it.

What was the most recent movie with such chemistry and charisma in a leading duo?

Saw that in the theaters. My folks liked to listen to the soundtrack.
Have it, and I watch it every two years or so. I like movies where it takes an entire team with everyone doing their part. |

My wife says that Redford's character, in on the con, sounds like a young FJB.
He does. Lying. |

Audiences felt a lot of nostalgia when it was released because it accurately depicted the mean streets of big cities during the Depression. The typical 40-45 year old in 1973 remembered the 1930s.

My sister was in a baton twirling club. She did a routine to the theme song. I think that tune is permanently etched into my brain.

Watched it and then had to write a paper on it in college Art Appreciation general ed BS night class. Not a bad movie at all. Hard to come up with some esoteric BS to please the (liberal gay) prof though. I think I got a B.

For some perspective, this movie was first released the same year that Joe Biden was elected to the US Senate.

Great movie. I'm still at a loss though to figure out how Newman's character was able to switch the card deck out on Lonnegan in the poker game.
Watched that scene a bunch of times and still can't see how he could pull it off. |

I haven't seen it since it was released. Maybe it's time for a viewing
