Certainly important as a landmark film in how it ushered in violence into mainstream Hollywood pictures, but age has weathered its impact and nothing else about the movie really knocks you out. Enjoyable, but its fellow violent contemporary, The Wild Bunch, holds up much, much better.

Very important in cinematic history for helping to usher in criminals as the heroes and its use of violence, but I just can't get myself to care about it all that much. Drags way too much.

Broke all sorts of new ground when it went so far as to show a woman riding in the front seat of a car. Supposedly, some audience members fainted. The visual proved too much for the masses and it wasn't until 1989 after Jessica Tandy won an Oscar for sitting in the back seat of an automobile that people were comfortable enough to see women in the front seat again.

It's interesting from a historical perspective how this film broke several Hollywood taboos and how it influenced the use of violence in years to come. It doesn't really hold up that well once Buck and his annoying wife show up, but it's still worth a look. Beatty and Dunaway have a lot of charisma and always managed to keep my attention.

Very good crime oldie. Faye Dunaway without underwear is sexy like a bitch, so why a guy like Clyde cannot get his boner ready. Closet case for me. Good acting, storytelling and directing. Banjo brings some (necessary?) comedy extension. More entertaining than Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers.

Succeeds as a candid portrait of the notorious couple, but they're also the film's main issue: a bunch of petty, juvenile criminals who enrolled in robbing gas stations and grocery stores, becoming - undeservedly so - the center of media launched attention. One doesn't need this film to grow tired of them, which is what I eventually did about 20 minutes in. Not horrible, but nothing special either. Also, learn to read a winner's card, you senile old fucks.

My initial reaction was disappointment. My personal taste suggests I would be a big fan, but I did not care for the direction or editing. The characters came off as annoying, making it hard to appreciate their cultural infamy. This will probably be a movie I appreciate for its cultural value, and the fact that it challenged censorship, but compared stylistically to a movie like the Godfather that came out only 5 years later, it hasn't aged well.

(Viewed on 12/06/14): Overrated by older cinephiles and underrated by millennials, Bonnie and Clyde is certainly an example of a film whose impact has been blunted over time, if only because standards for violence have loosened considerably since its release, so it seems rather tame today. But you won't find this level of craft in a contemporary crime drama, nor movie stars as mercurial and iconic as Beatty and Dunaway were in these star making roles; and the ending still packs a visceral punch.

Not bad but waaay overrated. This is one of those movies considered great mostly because they're remembered as having broken a Hollywood taboo, but really there were much better, more daring (and even more violent) movies being made at the time. My dislike of Dunaway and hatred for Beatty aside, and corny bluegrass music notwithstanding, it's still an okay movie, especially the ending.

It's historical significance is self-evident. Even with all the hype and eminence among most contemporary film critics, this film is structurally perfect. The cast is amazing; the bizarre, frayed relationships within the Barow Gang have an air of authority and authenticity. The camera-work is so sleek that it manages to seamlessly merge the self-consciousness of the French New Wave with the detachment of Italian Neo-Realism. Simply amazing.

Still quite violent, even today, though the violence does look dated you can still appreciate the visceral feel of the movie as well as the frantic editing which reflects the spontaneous personality of the leads. Beatty and Dunaway make a great couple and you can sense the almost perverse attraction between the two. It's certainly landmark cinema and it's still well worth seeing, even today.

I don't think that its tongue in cheek folk-tale approach has worn too well, though it no doubt seemed very au courant and chic at the time of release. We have to put up with Dunaway's acting, which definitely has its shaky moments (though she of course has amazing cheekbones, and looks stylish in, and out of, a hat), and Beatty, who sometimes seems to consist just of a gigantic grin. But it's well-shot and keeps moving...and the death is quite scarifying (Hackman's wife is truly an idiot, btw).

Magnificent film version of the story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. A perceptive film, quite stunningly directed. Beatty, who also produced this exciting, well-written gangster classic, is brilliant as the impotent hoodlum Barrow. The film established Dunaway as a major screen personality, and Parsons won an Academy Award for her supporting role as Clyde's sister-in-law.

Perhaps one of the finest movies of the late 1960s, highly influenced by the Nouvelle Vague, with its complex morality and sincere violence. Still, it is, as Easy Rider, the start and the end of a generation, as its finale claims.

It's neat seeing a film so integral in the emergence of film violence. I enjoyed both of the main characters, especially Dunaway. But when the secondary characters came along I felt more annoyed than interested. I know Estelle Parsons' character was SUPPOSED to be annoying, but my god her shrieking was driving me crazy. The movie is interesting historically, entertaining for the most part, but somewhat forgettable overall.

Mistakes - 1) In the scene where the gang is in the car eating the donuts, Blanch's donuts switches from being half eaten to only one bite and then back to half eaten. 2) In the first few minutes of the movie, when Bonnie first goes out to meet Clyde, she 'clomps' down the stairs in obviously hard, heeled shoes. A few minutes later, as they're walking, she's now wearing soft, flat shoes.

I love how the characters become projections of each other's ambitions. Bonnie, the pretty Texas blonde, wishes to become a movie star. Clyde turns her into a notorious bank robber, which is as close to fame as she will ever get. Clyde, failing in the mister torpedo-area, uses his gun as a prime expression of masculinity. Thanks to Bonnie's admiration, the petty thief sees himself a world-class outlaw. But in the end, the film was only as good as the character's skills: mediocre at best.

From the upbeat opening titles to the brutal ending, Penn's film is a thoroughly absorbing and entertaining experience. The writing and frenetic action scenes are top drawer, and the gradual shift in tone is fantastically executed. Beatty and Dunaway are excellent as the notorious criminal pair, and Pollard and Hackman excel in supporting roles.

B & C is an interesting and fundamental study of violence as an originary act which holds society together. As Benjamin puts it, violence has a law-making and law-preserving character and gangsters which go too far are actually the enemies of state because they reveal the origin of law and hence threaten it. In that sense this is a rebellion film like "Rebel Without a Cause" and you can see "Badlands" or Peckinpah's fast paced movies coming. Btw, Dunaway is sensational and Bonnie is unforgetable

Just as I expected from what I knew of the story. Bonnie was the main character for me, Clyde was a dud, CW was quiet, and Buck was interesting. Blanche was very annoying so I'll attribute that to good acting. A better movie might have really focused on the law enforcement/media environment at the time which pumped up the gang. Fav scene: turning around to chase and pick up Eugene and Viola and driving them around.

A man struggles between over-compensating for and overcoming his impotence, gambling that there must be some percentage in the attempt, however elusive it might seem. A little rough around the edges, but still a big step forward in terms of populating a criminal milieu with complicated, interesting and human characters, and the greatest crime spree movie of all time...until BADLANDS. This is more conventional than Malick's film, with fewer layers, but it is very well made and remains affecting.

Bonnie and Clyde is a big bag of romanticizing, and it isn't shy about it. The gang are presented as charismatic underdogs, and their murders and crimes are often shown in a nonchalant way. But the film does throw in some scenes of quite grizzly violence every now and then, and I think that's its main way of acknowledging that what the gang is doing is wrong. So even though you may have come to find Bonnie and Clyde and the rest entertaining, you're unlikely to shed any tears when they meet t

I forgot that Warren Beatty used to be an actor. We meet the eponymous duo at the very beginning, and inside of about ten minutes you know that both these people are WRONG. Fascinating portrait of people who are legendary and pathetic at the same time. I have a few niggling doubts about the staging; otherwise, I can now understand why this movie is regarded as such a classic -- because it is. I enjoyed every moment with these characters. I also would have been delighted to shoot them myself

Considering the material, this story of romantic outlaw couple could have been told in a better fashion. Maybe more serious.

This film's fine, but that's it. I don't understand all the praise that has been heaped on Bonnie and Clyde over the years. The film hasn't aged well, and wasn't all that good to begin with. They say that it was groundbreaking at the time, but today it feels fairly conventional. It didn't help that every time I began to get sucked into the story they started playing music that belongs in the Dukes of Hazard. My God. Who's idea was that?

"Bonnie and Clyde" is a classic -its seamless mixture of comedy, exhilaration, carnage, romance and heartbreak is truly a singular and seminal achievement. Beatty and Dunaway are perfect as the affable robbers, while Hackman, Pollard and Parsons are all terrific in their portrayals of the rest of the gang. The film's insane energy, cynical brand of humor and bold use of violence have influenced numerous other films but have also endured in time and can still cause delight and shock even today.

Great flick. Mostly excellent script, although I don't think the whole impotence gimmick really worked. Warren Beatty is certainly charismatic and never looked better. I had the feeling Faye Dunaway was not so much creating a character but playing herself most of the time. For me, the most inspired piece of casting was Michael J. Pollard as C.W.--he is simply stupendous and steals every scene he's in without trying.

Just an excellent crime movie. I like that it never really tries to make Bonnie and Clyde look like "good guys" but in a weird way, you still want to root for them. There's an odd scene near the middle with Gene Wilder that's just hilarious, and the whole movie isn't without lighthearted moments. I saw this in a film class, and by the end, everyone was just left speechless. The professor said that happens every year.

This is one of the most influential films ever made in America, in that it took an archaic genre - the 1930s gangster film - and reinvigorated it for the moods of the sixties. It was an antiestablishment picture, a love story, and a ballad for sexual fulfillment. Penn was an electric director of actors then, and passionate with violence. Beatty saw the film as a story about celebrity. The film felt like an escaped wild animal, and in the finale you feel the beast being put down and getting laid.
