Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

Description

Depression-era drifters Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty) and Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway) embark on a life of crime. They crave adventure — and each other. Nothing in film history has prepared us for the cascading violence to follow. We learn they can be hurt — and dread they can be killed. The vivid title-role performances get superb support from Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman and Estelle Parsons, 1967 Best Supporting Actress Academy Award® winner. Director Arthur Penn keeps the film's tone tough but never cruel. It continually dazzles, especially in the work of cinematographer Burnett Guffey (winner of the film's second Oscar®) and editor Dede Allen. Generations later, it's still a thunderous, thrilling ride.
