"Considered by many to be one of the groundbreaking films of the 60’s, Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde offers a romanticized vision of two of the most famous outlaws in American History. A bored, small-town girl, Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunnaway), meets up with recently released bank robber, Clyde Barrow (Warren Beaty), and they set off across the Midwest robbing banks and on the run from the law. They team up with gas station clerk, (Michael Pollard), Clyde’s brother, Buck (Gene Hackman), and his nuisance of a wife (Estelle Parsons) during the journey and that’s when things start to turn bad. Ultimately, this is a road movie. It’s about average people caught up in the life of crime and on the run from authorities. When I first saw this a few years ago, I hated it. I couldn’t understand for the life of me what made this thing so special. Like many movies however, you have to mature into the right state-of-mind and after a second viewing, your mind coul ... "

"First time viewing of the caper. Set during The Depression, the story is strangely modern given today's economic blight with failing banks and such. Beatty and Dunaway embody the characters and make for an electric pair. The impotency story thread was a complete surprise but I'm glad Clyde got it sorted out - Dunaway is stunningly beautiful. The violence is also a surprise at is escalates in the final act of the film climaxing with the famous shootout. The similarities with Badlands are limited to the basics of the plot. Otherwise this has nothing in common with it. Great supporting turns by Michael J. Pollard (did he ever break from the mold of playing the part of C.W. Moss?), Hackman and Estelle Parsons. Good stuff. "

"What's the AFI Project, you ask? For more information, or if you just enjoy my bemused ramblings, read here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2008/3/1/25756.a spx Bonnie and Clyde is on the following AFI lists: The Original Top 100 (#27)100 Most Heart-Pounding Movies (#13)100 Years...100 Passions (#65)100 Years...100 Heroes and Villans (Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are the #32 villains)100 Movie Quotes (#41 - Clyde Barrow: "We rob banks.")The Revised Top 100 (#42)10 Top 10's (#5 Gangster) I watched Bonnie and Clyde instantly on Netflix, which was nice on my dark night from the theater. I only knew so much about the film from the level of its pseudo-permutation into the pop culture, which has waned in recent years, so I had very few expectations going in. I was hoping to enjoy it, really, and that was all. I did enjoy it, but, again, I didn't love this one. I was engaged the whole time but only in a bemused sort of way. Bonnie and Clyde is a loosely biographical f ... "

"The first time I saw Bonnie and Clyde I enjoyed it, but did not think it deserved its place in the canon of great American films. Watching it again, I agreed with my original assessment, although unlike a lot of films I feel are overrated, I can understand why many people think the film has greatness. It was a breakthough for one thing, having a maturity to it that had rarely been seen in American films before. It also tapped into the zietgiest (I've been using that word a lot recently) of the times- I'm sure that a lot of counterculture types could identify with the small band of misits living outside of society, although, like the hippie supporters of The Graduate, they glossed over many of the negative aspects of the experince. For the unititiated, Penn's film is an episodic (and apparenly, not particularly accurate) account of Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty, who I apparently bear a striking resemblance to) and Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway), romantically entangled bank robbers of ...

"This is #27 on AFI's 100 Greatest "American" Films list, and deservedly so. Arthur Penn's direction is first rate, Faye Dunaway is friggin' hot as Clyde (reminded me of Julia Stiles a tad), and Michael J. Pollard plays C.W. Moss with a genuine pathos. Gene Wilder's character had me laughing out loud when they steal his car - a great cameo. A little dated, but definitely ahead of it's time. All in all, not bad. "

"Years ago, a local film critic (living in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex) dismissed Crimes of Passion by saying, “Why doesn’t Ken Russell just go back to England?” as if this were a legitimate, professional reaction to any film. You just couldn’t help the feeling that she didn’t get it. “It” not being the film itself. It was awful but I don’t think it’s ever okay to pan a film because one’s sensibilities are offended. Or ravaged. Ironically I find myself in a similar situation after viewing Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. Call it Karmic Justice. I repeatedly wondered if I’d viewed this collection, say, 25 years ago, if I’d have been rolling in the proverbial aisles. Though I’d like to think I’m smarter today. From The Grand Guignol Theatre of 19th Century Paris, to Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive to the Mr. Creosote sketch in
