Meant to be.
I watched this on TCM yesterday for the first time in years.
It seemed dated and stale to me.

Why didn't you let this thread die a deserved death, any movie made in
1967 is going to seem "dated and stale," even in 1977 let alone 2011 and
2021.
Resurrecting a 10 year old thread is a troll. He's just shilling Web
sites. He isn't posting his own opinions or point of view to Usenet
ever, so who needs this crap?
Lately, the only participation in this group has been to tell him off,
maybe for the last couple of years.
I probably should have said "any contemporaneous movie made in
1967....", I think Bonnie and Clyde is one of those timeless films that >wouldn't seem dated if it was released today.
Watched this on TCM the other day. It is a timeless film and presents
a good representation of affluent suburban life in the 1960s.
Groundbreaking film. Hoffman's breakthrough along with Simon and
Garfunkel. "The Sounds of Silence" was somewhat of a flop before the
film was released.
