Classic film considered 'coolest of all time' is now streaming for free
Fans who are lovers of the best classic movies are in for a treat as a film considered one of the coolest ever made is now streaming for free. Starring iconic Hollywood actors Paul Newman and Robert Redford, 1969 flick Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is currently available to watch at no cost on BBC iPlayer. The top-grossing film of its year, the Western buddy movie went on to be nominated for seven Oscars, including best picture and director, winning four. There is literally a Reddit thread titled 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid – coolest film ever?' where fans discussed its appeal, so don't take it just from me. Helmed by George Roy Hill (who also directed Newman and Redford in 1973's The Sting) and written by Academy Award winner William Goldman, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid follows the titular members of the outlaw Hole-in-the-Wall gang in 1899 Wyoming. They flee to Bolivia after a train robbery gone wrong with Sundance (Redford)'s lover Etta Place (Katharine Ross), attempting to go straight for the first time after struggling to rob banks in Spanish – but a posse is in hot pursuit. 'It's a classic, and I don't use that term lightly,' shared John W in an audience review on Rotten Tomatoes, while Jamie X posted: 'A beautiful film in every way. The cinematography, characters, story and soundtrack, are all on another level. I simply can't recommend enough.' 'This western movie had it all. Fast action, comedy, whimsical, intense [sic.] intrigue and fast gun play with two of the most dynamic male actors of their time,' added Edward B. Redford, 88, largely retired from acting in 2018, having also appeared in the likes of The Great Gatsby, All the President's Men and Out of Africa, as well as a stint in Marvel Cinematic Universe as Alexander Pierce. He was nominated for best actor and best director twice each at the Academy Awards, winning for his filmmaking in 1980 for Ordinary People, his directorial debut. Newman died in September 2008 aged 83 after a career that saw him nominated for 10 acting Oscars, winning best actor for The Colour of Money in 1987. He also starred in movies including Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Road to Perdition. 'Everything I wanted in a movie is here,' enthused another fan, while Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was also praised as 'the ultimate buddy movie' and a 'classic Western that I just never get tired of watching'. 'Redford and Newman at it again. If you don't love Butch and Sundance, then you don't love cinema,' insisted another lover of the movie. Many cinema fans have intense nostalgia around the film as well, remembering first watching it upon its release decades ago. 'One of the best, a film from my childhood I've had the pleasure of discovering again as an adult,' shared Robin Sattahip on Google, while Ray Moore shared: 'I watched this wonderful movie the week it was released and fell in Love with K. Ross as well with R.R. and Paul whom [sic.] I was already a fan. I have seen it so many times.' Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid appears in multiple AFI lists, including ranking 73rd in the institute's 10th anniversary edition of their 100 Years… 100 Movies list of greatest American films. More Trending Based on real-life figures in the Old West, the film is famous too for its anachronistic use of the very 1960s Burt Bacharach and Hal David song Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head. It's also preserved by the Library of Congress in the United States National Film Registry by for its 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant' status. Other stone-cold classic films currently available to watch on iPlayer include The Shining, Don't Look Now and John Wayne classic Western The Searchers. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is streaming for free in the UK on BBC iPlayer now. Got a story?

Stuart Kendrick confident Redford can bowl out Warnie in Glasshouse Handicap at Sunshine Coast
He's the $1m gelding who must bowl over warm favourite Warnie to win the $300,000 Listed Glasshouse Handicap (1400m), although trainer Stuart Kendrick is quietly confident Redford can put his rivals in a spin on his home track on Saturday. Bookmakers have rated four-year-old gelding Redford as a $16 chance in the Glasshouse, with the Ciaron Maher -trained Warnie the $2.90 favourite ahead of cult gelding The Inflictor ($4.80) and soft-track specialist Far Too Easy ($7.50). • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'If he can find his feet, get a little bit of space and then wind up, that's when he's at his best,' Sunshine Coast trainer Kendrick said on Friday about Redford. 'He's got a good record here (3:2-1-0) and I think the track suits him. He's not an overly big horse so a drop in the weights is definitely going to help us. 'With the awkward gate (11 of 13) he'll probably go back and with a light weight, it gives him a chance to really hit the line strongly.' Kendrick is wary about quality import Warnie, a Listed winner in Ireland, who he thinks will also be suited to the spacious Sunshine Coast track, which is likely to be in the Soft 6 range on Saturday. 'He looked out of his comfort zone at Ipswich the other day (fifth in the Listed Eye Liner Stakes over 1350m) and this track will suit him where he can find his feet, wind up and have the last crack at them,' Kendrick said. 'Going on his run two races ago (third in the Group 2 Moreton Cup over 1200m at Eagle Farm), he's probably the one to beat.' TFI Racing paid just over $1m for Redford, part of the Arrowfield Stud draft, at the 2022 Magic Millions Yearling Sale on the Gold Coast and he was initially trained by Annabel Neasham. Kendrick and several others, including his wife Trudy, took over the ownership last year and Redford won his first race for his new trainer last September in a Benchmark 60 (1300m) at Corbould Park. The highlight so far came in January this year when Redford upset odds-on favourite Moravia to win the $250,000 Magic Millions Rising Stars (3YO, 4YO colts and geldings division) at the Sunshine Coast. 'He was quite an expensive yearling but he's been good for us since we've had him,' Kendrick said. 'Hopefully he can do something big for us tomorrow (Saturday), that'd be nice.'

Inside Redford: How Lake Gamp and Karolis Saulys Are Redefining Performance Marketing for a Regulated World
In today's digital marketing environment, scale is no longer the defining metric of success — precision is. For brands operating in regulated industries and high-growth sectors, attracting large volumes of traffic means little unless that traffic converts, complies, and builds long-term value. Redford is a performance marketing platform designed with this reality in mind — where data integrity, real-time intelligence, and global compliance converge to power the next generation of user acquisition. Redford isn't just another player in the performance space. It is a purpose-built infrastructure for companies that cannot afford to gamble on low-quality leads or opaque data flows. Whether the end goal is acquiring qualified users in the financial sector, driving engagement in high-retention gaming funnels, or scaling conversions in global e-commerce, Redford offers a competitive advantage rooted in clarity and control. Built for Today's Most Demanding Digital Ecosystem The modern performance marketer must navigate a maze of new complexities: the decline of cookie-based tracking, the rise of data privacy regulation, the emergence of AI-fueled fraud, and growing expectations for transparency. Redford addresses these challenges head-on with a technology architecture that emphasizes both real-time responsiveness and regulatory integrity. At the core of Redford's platform is a multi-layered data engine that continuously analyzes user behavior, source credibility, compliance alignment, and conversion signals.

In an industry often driven by volume at the expense of value, Redford's tech stack ensures that performance and responsibility grow together. Legal Infrastructure That Sets a New Standard While many marketing platforms are scrambling to catch up with global compliance mandates, Redford has made regulation a central part of its DNA. The platform is licensed to operate across key markets with distinct legal requirements — a rare and significant differentiator. Redford holds: VASP registration (Virtual Asset Service Provider) in the European Union , enabling data handling and user acquisition for crypto-related platforms within full regulatory bounds.

These licenses are more than compliance checkboxes — they provide the legal foundation for working with clients in financial services, iGaming, fintech, and emerging tech. Redford's commitment to licensure ensures partners avoid the risks of regulatory exposure, reputational damage, or inconsistent data practices. The People Behind the Platform: Gamp, Saulys, and Astapov Redford's emergence as a market leader is no accident — it reflects the strategic foresight and deep expertise of its founding team.

Gamp's contributions include: Designing adaptive routing systems that optimize traffic in real time based on engagement and fraud metrics Engineering privacy-aware data flows that comply with multiple legal jurisdictions Aligning automation with brand safety and user relevance 'The digital space is evolving fast — users demand privacy, regulators demand transparency, and businesses demand performance. We built Redford to balance all three,' says Gamp. Karolis Saulys — Head of Global Traffic & Co-founder Saulys leads the operational strategy behind Redford's traffic acquisition. With over a decade of experience in publisher networks, mobile ecosystems, and ad logistics, he ensures that Redford's traffic sources are continuously vetted, monitored, and optimized. His operational frameworks deliver: Partner risk scoring and automated traffic rejection filters Continuous performance benchmarking across geographies Seamless onboarding and QA pipelines for acquisition partners 'Clicks are cheap.

Artem Astapov — Director of Marketing Astapov is responsible for turning Redford's technical capabilities into a market-facing growth engine.

His marketing vision includes: Building a narrative around transparency, relevance, and ethical growth Driving inbound acquisition through partner ecosystems and thought leadership Aligning Redford's go-to-market strategy with its regulatory mission 'We don't believe in vanity metrics. What matters is verified growth with attribution you can trust,' says Astapov.

Global Reach with Local Sensitivity Redford's global infrastructure doesn't come at the cost of local insight. The platform adapts its targeting and compliance rules dynamically based on geography, language, and legal context. Whether launching in the DACH region, Southeast Asia, or North America, Redford's systems adjust in real time to align with local data laws and user behavior trends. This adaptability is especially important for clients entering new markets or scaling regulated offers — where one misstep in acquisition strategy can mean legal consequences or user distrust. Redford ensures that geographic expansion comes with confidence. Looking Ahead: Redford's Role in the Future of Performance The digital marketing industry stands at a crossroads. With increasing scrutiny from regulators, growing sophistication of ad fraud, and user expectations for relevance and privacy, the old models of traffic arbitrage and bulk impressions are rapidly becoming obsolete. Redford represents a new approach — one where technology, transparency, and trust aren't just slogans, but requirements. It's not about doing more. It's about doing it right. For companies serious about acquiring quality users at scale — without sacrificing compliance or credibility — Redford offers more than a platform. It offers a blueprint for sustainable growth.
