Two Good Films When You Think Of It

**1/2 04.21.09 - The Thomas Crown Affair... 1968... Director Norman Jewison

OK this is the original with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway and it's a great little romp. Thinking back to when this was made, it must have been a very interesting film for folks to see.

Now they made remake of this film with Pierce Brosnon and Renee Russo that I have to admit... I like a little better! They did a great job of being true to the original and then putting their own spin on it to get it up to date.

The DVD of the original didn't have many extras on it and that was a bit depressing, but it's an older film and companies didn't always think of doing more than releasing the film.

It's a good film and fun to watch... now I can't wait to see the updated version of this film to see how it really stands up to the first.
