Butch Cassidy/Sundance Kid is a stone-cold classic.

But, as he wrote the screenplays for so many classic films, here's his imdb link:

Sad news.

The paltry number of posts in this thread is maddening; what an absolute legend. All the President's Men was one of the first screenplays I've ever had the pleasure of reading. One of the greatest, too. I love his abridged version of the opening scene (later drafts would contain the full sequence).

[Show spoiler]

Rest in peace.

One of the legends. R.I.P.
