Ditto. The film is great adult entertainment.  I enjoyed it more than the original with Steve McQueen.  I just watched it last week (again) and woke up to this news this morning which, of course, made me think of it.  Maybe they better get Catherine Banning to recover the paintings.  ;D


4 Masterworks Are Stolen in Zurich

By UTA HARNISCHFEGER and GRAHAM BOWLEY
ZURICH — Armed robbers stole four important paintings by van Gogh, Monet, Degas and Cézanne from a museum in Zurich, the Swiss authorities announced Monday, in what they said might have been the largest art theft in Europe.

Three thieves, wearing dark clothes and ski masks, walked into the Emile Bührle Foundation, a private collection housed a couple of miles outside of Zurich’s city center on the shore of Lake Zurich, around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, a short while before the museum was due to close. The collection is considered to be one of the biggest privately owned collections of French impressionists in the world.

While one held a pistol and ordered visitors and staff members to lie on the floor in the main room of the museum, the two other men removed the four paintings from the wall: Monet’s “Poppy Field at Vetheuil,” “Ludovic Lepic and his Daughter” by Edgar Degas, Van Gogh’s “Blooming Chestnut Branches,” and Cézanne’s “Boy in the Red Waistcoat.” Their total worth is estimated at $163 million . . .

btw, this film has one of the best sound tracks ever!  It's available on iTunes.

Btw, Brosnan has being trying to make a sequel to this film for a few years now; he served as producer for the 1999 release.  Originally, titled the Topkapki Affair, the film has been retitled the "Thomas Crown Affair 2."  At one point, Angelina Jolie was offered the female lead, but I think she turned it down.  Sharon Stone’s name was once linked to the film, but no more…  it’s unclear who the female lead will be—but word is, it will not be Renee Russo.

The film has officially been in “pre-production” for years.  Not sure it will ever be made.

Is the name of the island ever mentioned?  I don't recall that, but from the topography and shoreline I, too, would have guessed Martinique.

btw, I have a rip of this movie if any of you are interested.  :)

I loved the film. I saw it in the theater, and on DVD numerous times. I particularly liked the directors cut of the DVD. For me the DC is intriguing, because they'll tell you why they shot an angle that way, or why Brosnan was not wearing his bow tie completely.
I gave, and still give, the movie two thumbs up! :D

The Thomas Crown character has a nice life.

I love it when the next morning after he bangs her, Crown's servant, Paul, brings TC his breakfast and Catherine Banning her green breakfast drink.

"I suppose he didn't just run out for that [drink]?
  "hmm, oh, no."
"No.  Damn, I hate being a forgone conclusion!"

Crown knew he was eventually going to bed her so he had her favorite drink waiting for her the next monring!  That's cool!  :D

Trust.  But verify.

He wanted to trust her and tried to.  But he had his ass covered if/when she betrayed him.  Crown was just as cool as Bond.  James Bond.  ;D
