the sting

Paul Newman's death prompted me to pick The Sting up at the library and watch it again. One of the best movies ever.
Great story, great dialogue, great actors, great characters, great music.
I still remember watching it in a theater and hearing the shocked responses to the surprise ending.
I like Butch & Sundance but like The Sting more. Maybe because even though it appears they die at the end of The Sting, they don't, then they walk off into the sunset together.
Always hoped for a third Newman/Redford movie.
Why wasn't Newman in Sneakers? He would have been a great addition to an already excellent cast and fun story. If you've never seen Sneakers, and many, many people have not, correct that deficit in your cinematic experience.
If you've not seen The Sting lately, it's time.
