Double Secret Probation:
That was insulting the United States of America. This is "Double Secret Probation" - the year we grab the bulls by the balls.

Not sure if it is the music, or the content of the scene, but I drop everything to run in and watch the scene…over and over.

My of my favorite movies... this scene, the opening scene & the main battle when they leave the fort & are attacked are all great.

Thomas Crown Affair - 1999 with Rene Russo and Pierce Brosnan. The moment when Crown realizes he has encountered a worthy adversary (sporting a spectacular updo).

I like the 1968 version with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway better. Huge McQueen fan. Not really a fan of Pierce Bronson. I guess I am just old.

Both of them are good, but I prefer the 1999 version. I thought Rene Russo stole the movie. In the 1968 version, I always felt as if the relationship between McQueen and Dunaway was forced; it seemed more natural with Brosnan and Russo. The chess match in the 1968 version was the highlight of that movie.

This movie is nearly 70 years old. I never heard of Judy Holliday until this past weekend, watching It Should Happen to You on TCM. This was Jack Lemmon’s first movie as a leading man, and sadly, Judy passed away from cancer in 1965. I am going to hunt down her other movies….she is fabulous to watch.

Paris car chase - Bourne Identity. In my opinion, this scene is at the same caliber as the iconic Bullitt car chase (Post #1). Like Bullitt, a combination of tautness and tension, with marvelous usage of a city as the backdrop for the chase. Having Marie in the car with Jason is an excellent touch, as Franka Potente (as Marie) provides a nice foil and contrast with Jason's stern concentration as he's driving.

A note of thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. The posts have rekindled old memories, reminded me of movies I wanted to see but didn't, added perspective on other memories, and inspired me to see movies I didn't know about before. Most importantly, it helped me "get to know" some of you a bit more as you have shared what you like.

All of that is wonderful, and is what we desperately need more of in our world right now.

No scenes clips, so I have to use the trailer. My memorial day/start of summer movie. . .

Thanks for starting this thread and for the one/day rule. It's kept me thinking of the many movies I have enjoyed over the years. Here's another oldie.

Restaurant scene - first date. From The Shop Around the Corner.

You've Got Mail (with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks) was a remake of The Shop Around the Corner. Nora Ephron paid homage by naming Meg Ryan's Bookstore "The Shop Around the Corner". This is clip the restaurant meeting scene with Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullavan, which is nicely reprised in You've Got Mail.

I used to watch this film as a kid, when it aired on the Disney Channel, in the 80's. Twenty years later, working in a video store, a man asked me if we carried it, and if I had ever seen it. Turns out, it was Bruce Dern. He was in town, filming a Hallmark western. Unlike the villains he plays, he's a very friendly and inquisitive guy.

They would show this at college during finals week with this as the beginning short:
