It's impossible to deny the impact of Bonnie and Clyde, even if in retrospect it does seem as callow as some of the critics of the era claimed. I'm also a big fan of Penn And Teller Get Killed.

Me too. "No Myth" is also pretty catchy.

B&C is always one of those films I forget about going back and re-watching. Saw it a number of years ago when I was a early teen, then in a college film class.

Also - Little Big Man. After reading the book I kind of felt like Hoffman was miscast, but it's a pretty good flick nonetheless.

He was Dick Nixon's makeup artist?
