    I'll make it simple, if you liked Ocean's Eleven, you will LOVE The Sting. It is truly a great movie with twists and turns throughout, IT WON"T LET YOU DOWN and Paul Newman and Robert Redford are at their best!!

    i love movies - own nearly 800 and this is easily my favorite. yeah i'm a little old school, but only after this movie changed my perspective. At the very least rent it, if you are disappointed I would be very surprised.
  • The Sting still rocks!

    Newman and Redford in their glory days! The film still works on many levels, still has the power to draw the viewer in. I had not seen this film since its original release in theaters, but even though I remembered the basic plot and some of the details, it was still a good viewing experience. The sets, clothing, and attention to correct period detail were outstanding, and the casting and acting were excellent. The characters (especially Newman as the ace conman Gondorff and Shaw as the murderous villain Lonnigan) were well drawn and convincing. Well worth a look, even if you've seen it before, and for those who haven't decidedly worth the viewing!
  • Memories now and to come!

    My dad showed me this movie when I was 11 and instatly added this to one of my favorite movies. Great twist, great plot, and great acting. No one can be the same as Paul Newman.
