Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

Directed by Arthur Penn

Starred Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman, Estelle Parsons, Gene Wilder...

1967, United States, English.

Here is a movie considered as classic. It is more 'road movie' or biography than heist movie, so although I see this movie is listed one of the best robbery movies in some listings, it can't qualify as heist movie in my opinion. Alternative Heist Movie at best.

I wasn't impressed at all when I had seen this movie long time ago, so decided to rent it again to give another shot. I have seen it recently but the result is the same. I couldn't understand why this is considered as a classic. The matter of tastes...

Estella Parsons won Best Supporting Actress award in Oscars with this movie. The movie also nominated for Picture, Actor (W. Beatty), Supporting Actor (G. Hackman and M. J. Pollard), Actress (F. Dunaway), Costume, Directing and Original Screenwriting, while it won for Cinematography. The movies award collection doesn't end there, of course.
