If you guys have not seen this movie then I suggest you must. I know I am a little late in life to advocate this movie now. But I just realised that if I had to make a list of my favorite flicks then this for sure will top the list. I saw this movie way back when I was in college in the front stall of Chanakya cinema I remember. That time since I had just arrived in the Hollywood scene, so it didn’t sink in that much. But ever since whenever I have watched this movie its grown over and over again on me. This I can say more so now, cause thanks to my tainted romantic life I kind of relate to it every time I watch it. Unfortunately since the first time I saw it on theatre in my college days I haven’t had the time and the liberty to watch it completely in one sitting.
Pierce Brosnan’s character in the movie is more then what meets the eye only once you watch it. If I had liked him say 10% in Remington Steele I like him 10 folds now after watching this. Sauvé, sophisticated, classy, intelligent, quick witted, sharp, flirtatious, rich with the gift of gab were some of the qualities I always wanted in my man, and the writer/director of the movie couldn’t have portrayed it better with Pierce fitting the bill to ‘Perfection’. And Rene Russo not only compliments the character but gave a very close fight to enigmatic character like Thomas crown. How I aspire to be like her in every which way possible.
My definition of a ‘Woman of substance’ who is not only good looking but also is as good or as bad any good looking/intelligent man. I wonder if Sushmita Sen was inspired by her character in the movie to name her daughter ‘Rene’. Cause she is another woman I admire a lot in the Indian film fraternity.
Not to forget the plot of the movie where ‘a very rich and successful playboy amuses himself by stealing artwork, meets his match in a seductive detective only to turn him around’ is awe inspiring. I don’t know how many of you like movies which one can relate to. I atleast like only those where in I can fit into the character and feel that this is how I would have also reacted/acted in the situation. So I not only connected to Rene’s character, altogether to a different level in the movie. But it made me introspect as well only to think how I wish the guys I fall for, would turnaround at the end of the day like in the movie.
You know what I mean J….

Pierce Brosnan in 'The Thomas Crown Affair.' - A resounding Yes. But the best James Bond? Nahhh - that title belongs to the one and only Sir Sean Connery. He's in a different league altogether...Pierce Brosnan comes a close second :-)
sure... each to his own... i m strongly biased... no qualms in accepting
