Bonnie & Clyde (1967)

Although it is obviously an extremely romanticized account of the killers and robbers, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, this movie was an extremely enjoyable watch. All the acting, from the likes of Dunaway, Beatty, Hackman, and Pollard, was absolutely top-notch. The directing was excellent as well, and brought about a clear picture of Depression-era times. The ending was perhaps one of the most violent and, somehow, cathartic of any movie I've seen.

Finally, Gene Wilder's short part as the memorable undertaker Eugene Grizzard makes for the absolute best and most hilarious part of movie. Even if you don't have the time/interest to see this movie, watching Wilder's ~7 minutes on the screen is highly recommended.

8/10
