Dillinger or Bonnie and Clyde?

Dillinger (1973), starring Warren Oates and Ben Johnson. Obviously about John Dillinger. The super-thief of the Public Enemy era. It takes the same anti-hero approach as Bonnie and Clyde

Then we have the similar Bonnie and Clyde. Another classic about similar people in the same time.

I prefer Dillinger. Because it tells the story from both sides and just has a lot of character development. Bonnie and Clyde is also really good.

Bonnie and Clyde.

I wish I could think of something witty to put here... but I can't.

Bonnie and Clyde is definitely better than Dillinger, which is a fun film hampered by a tiny budget. Both are better than Public Enemies, since someone else brought that one up.
