My of my favorite movies... this scene, the opening scene & the main battle when they leave the fort & are attacked are all great.
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.
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.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).
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.I like the 1968 version with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway better. Huge McQueen fan. Not really a fan of Pierce Bronson.

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.
Ah AnnetteNo 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.A note of thanks to all who have contributed to this thread.

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