Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974)

After losing the spoils of their previous score, Clint Eastwood’s Thunderbolt is compelled to perform one more heist with his former gang. Jeff Bridges’s young hoodlum, Lightfoot, is brought along for the ride, despite the misgivings of pretty much everyone else. Most of the movie is a buddy flick with Eastwood and Bridges romping around Montana together, powered along by Jeff’s grating laughter. They have quite a bit of chemistry, though Bridges good-naturedly does most of the work while Clint provides plenty of scowls.
