Rich Alejandro88 - I am a sucker for Paul Newman movies, I will admit. I am also a sucker for Redford movies, and if you look around TheLast Castle, I did work for that movie. So, this is one of my favorites just for the story and the fact theres two of my all time favorites in there.

Dan O'Neill85 - Though it runs on too long, The Sting is still beautiful to look at as well as being incredibly entertaining, charming, funny, well-acted, and featuring lots and lots of twists and turns to keep any watcher on the edge of their seat.

Rob from GuysFilmQuest83 - Not enough time spent tying up loose ends and explaining how things fit together, but if you don't need FULL closure it is still a really clever movie.
