Best Scenes From Classic Movies

"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" is a 1969 American Western film directed by George Roy Hill and screenplay by William Goldman. Based loosely on fact, the film tells the story of Wild West outlaws Butch Cassidy, Paul Newman and his partner, the "Sundance Kid" Robert Redfor. The film won four Academy Awards: Best Cinematography; Original Score for a Motion Picture, Best Music, Song ("Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head"- Burt Bacharat); and Best Story and Screenplay Based on Material Not Previously Published or Produced.

The movie also won numerous British Academy Film Awards, including Best Film, Best Direction, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Actor (Redford though), and Best Actress for Katharine Ross. In 2003, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically and aesthetically significant". This specific scene occurs when the two outlaws flee to Bolivia and they have to jump into the gorge but The Sundance Kid (Redford) can't swim. See the clip. HC

Adam talks to God.


One day, Adam sat outside the Garden of Eden shortly after eating the apple, and wondered about men and women. So looking up to the heavens he says,

- "Excuse me GOD, can I ask you a few questions? GOD replied,

- "Go on Adam but be quick I have a world to create. So Adam says,

- "When you created Eve, why did You make her body so curvy and tender unlike mine?"

- "I did that, Adam, so that you could love her."

- "Oh, well then, why did You give her long, shiny, beautiful hair, and not me?"

- "I did that Adam so that you could love her."

- "Oh, well then, why did You make her so stupid? Certainly not so that I could love her?"

- "Well Adam, no. I did that so that she could love you"
