1967 Directed by Arthur Penn
Bonnie and Clyde is based on the true stories of the gangster pair Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow who in the 1930s began robbing banks in U.S. cities until they were eventually killed. The film is a major landmark in the aesthetic movement known as the New Hollywood.

Based loosely on the real life gangsters Bonnie and Clyde!
Sultry Faye Dunaway lights up the screen with her larger than life rendition of the character Bonnie Parker! Her animal magnetism cannot be contained within the big screen any more than you can keep the dough inside the Pillsbury container once you cracked it and the dough burst through the seam! The intimate close up shots of this vivacious beauty were pure eye candy!
Warren Beatty effervescent rendition of Clyde Barrow was equally amazing! Together they were hands down one of the most charismatic and tragedy bound anti hero couples ever to grace the big screen!
Stellar performances by fellow co-stars Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman,…
We rob banks.
A glorious deluge of ultraviolence, Bonnie and Clyde was uproariously controversial at the time of its release for its undaunted depiction of savagery and depravity. The true story of one of the most notorious criminal duos in history is brought larger than life through two exquisite performances from Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. Their whirlwind relationship, sparked in an instant and never once slowing down, tore all across the central United States as they found themselves on a constant quest for untold riches. Together with Clyde's brother Buck (played by a brilliant Gene Hackman in an early career role) and his wife, along with a hapless tagalong who barely receives any depth or development, they formed the…
My favourite gag in any old cartoon, is whenever a character got repeatedly shot, appeared unhurt, then proceed to drink from a beverage and have all the liquid leak out from the multitude of holes.
Priceless. Had me in stitches every time.
So really, I see nothing here but a wasted opportunity.
They say pictures don't lie, but the truth is they can lie as bad as anybody, including Clyde Barrow, who seduces Bonnie Parker with the promise of an exciting life full of sex, wealth, and danger (I guess 1 out of 3 ain't bad). That theme of unfulfilled promise runs deep - take a look at the hilarious sequence with Gene Wilder's Eugene and his girlfriend temporarily taking up with the gang, and the way it ends on a grim anti-punchline that only Bonnie, cursed by foresight, really understands.
The movie's commercial and generic promises ultimately DO get filled, though, with plenty of violent shootouts and chases, including the final one that gives the audience more than they could ever…
Hugely influential in an obvious way when it was released in 67. You can imagine how it moved America in the context of the tumultuous 1960s, how the counter culture movement identified with the fuck the system hedonistic take of two people who cut loose from societal bonds to make the most of troubled times. But outside of that context it’s still a moving romantic tale full of violence and adventure. An absolutely classic tale worthy of placement next to Greek myths in its extraordinary influence over modern storytelling.
Cool American people doing bad things but they're so cool it seems cool but it's so wrong but it's Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty and they're so cool but they're murderers and it's so bad. Good film.
Thought it was a good movie. Didn’t really expect it to be so violent for the time so I found that interesting
They're both super hot, and now I know more about the two people who fucked up the 2017 Oscars
*that sounds so dicky lmao but until last night I didn't know who they were so now i do
I somehow forgot both Gene Hackman and Gene Wilder were in this.
This movie has incredible Genes.
A gangster film with amazing avant-garde cinematography? And it pays off?? Awesome!
A lot of people have made a lot of great choices in the history of the world. JFK chose to go to the moon, Abraham Lincoln chose to end slavery, and Rosa parks chose to not give up her seat. But are any better than the creative brain trust behind this film choosing to give Warren Beatty’s character sexual performance anxiety ? That I am not so sure of
if this film doesn’t make you wanna run off with someone you just met and live a life of crime than I don’t know what’s wrong with you
