Some movies age gracefully. But a precious few are so timeless, they barely seem to age at all.

"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" falls into that esteemed latter category.

Originally released in 1969, the Western that birthed the dream team of Paul Newman and Robert Redford remains as smart, funny and flat-out entertaining as it ever was. Granted, the Burt Bacharach soundtrack — including the sprightly pop hit "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" — sounds a tad dated. Still, it's remarkable how well the film holds up, particularly given the tepid reviews it initially received before moving on to box office success and four Academy Awards.

Happily for fans of the dashing outlaw duo, 20th Century Fox has issued a new, two-disc collector's edition of "Butch Cassidy," just in time for Father's Day gift-giving. And really, what Dad (or for that matter, Mom) wouldn't be happy to have this classic and all the excellent DVD extras that come with it, including two audio commentary tracks, a new making-of featurette, a 90-minute documentary and a featurette about the real Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and cast and crew interviews?

Of course, there was a special edition released back in 2000 and much of the bonus material — including the "vintage" interviews, the doc "History Through the Lens: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: Outlaws Out of Time" and the commentary track featuring director George Roy Hill, cinematographer Conrad Hall and others — already appeared on that version. So serious "Sundance" fans will have to weigh their desire to invest in yet another DVD.

Everyone else, on the other hand, should be delighted with what they find here, particularly the especially enlightening "All of What Follows is True: The Making of 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,' " which features fresh interviews with screenwriter William Goldman, former Fox president Richard Zanuck, Redford and Newman. At one point during this mini-doc, Newman says that he doesn't think "Butch Cassidy" had much influence on subsequent pictures. But surely he realizes that every buddy movie post-Butch and Sundance has attempted (often feebly) to recapture the easy chemistry between this film's two handsome stars. Rumors are Newman and Redford are working on a final onscreen collaboration.

Zanuck attempted to assuage concerns about star billing by promising that half of the film's prints would feature Newman's name first in the credits, while the other half would showcase McQueen first. The proposal failed, McQueen walked and, Redford — not yet a marquee name — ended up with a part that forever altered his career.
