A cinema love-letter to caper films of the 1930s, "The Sting" is one of the more under-appreciated movies of the 70s.

A really well-done caper film. The way they took a convoluted story into a story that people could follow was well-done. Newman and Redford are really good together, you can see their chemistry on-screen.

Butch and Sundance are reunited as 1920s conmen in a witty and inventive scam movie full of great character actors and a clever twisting plot. Only the irritatingly over conspicuous ragtime soundtrack grates.

Great actors, clever humor and a stylish 20's setting, makes for one fun caper. I thoroughly enjoyed this film.

Along with Butch Cassidy, this film is one of the best of the Newman-Redford collaborations. The actual heist is meticulously plotted out and executed in thrilling detail, but it is the chemistry and camraderie of the two leads that makes this film such a fun ride.

I am in the minority that the Newman/Redford brotherly connection in Butch Cassidy makes it the better movie. I will agree that George Roy Hill is a very underappreciated director. Another classic movie. I couldn't believe how even on the second viewing, they were still able to mislead me several times. Matchstick Men and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels say "thank you" to The Sting.

Just and all-around great film. Newman and Redford are perfect, the story is fun, the music is key - setting, direction everything adds up. A classic!

A fun film but it's not something I'd want to watch another time.
