The Thomas Crown Affair
 
Forget John McTiernan’s recent shiny remake, Steve McQueen rules as the titular debonair millionaire thief in this exercise in late ‘60s cinematic style, seamlessly blending romance and crime-thriller. And who else but the elegant Faye Dunaway to portray the perfect love interest/foil: a beautiful insurance investigator hot on his trail. Director Norman Jewison tightly winds up the suspense for a riveting screen experience seldom matched by modern thrillers.
