Bonnie and Clyde is considered one of the first films of the New Hollywood era and a landmark film.
It broke many cinematic taboos and for some members of the counterculture, the film was considered to be a "rallying cry."
Its success prompted other filmmakers to be more open in presenting sex and violence in their films.
The film's ending became iconic as "one of the bloodiest death scenes in cinematic history."
The film received Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress (Estelle Parsons) and Best Cinematography (Burnett Guffey).
It was among the first 100 films selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
