Most Favorite Book or Movie

The movie I love to watch again and again is the Renee Russo-Pierce Brosnan version of The Thomas Crowne Affair. The acting is smart. The settings are fantastic. The camera work exceptional. The love scenes (cable cut) are steamy. The music is perfect.

The plot is multi-layered (a big plus for me). I still can't figure out how he stole the little priceless painting she preferred when he "put back" the Monet that he stole at the beginning. This secondary plot is woven brilliantly into the romance with exquisite tension until their final scene on the airplane. Every action and reaction is justified.

I wonder if the script was so tight because this was a remake. The writer(s) had a chance to rework the original screenplay. My WIP is a reworking of a story I wrote three years ago. I have high hopes.

  1. I love Pierce Brosnan, so this is one of my favorite movies as well. Great story, and yes, very steamy!! I do, also, wonder how he got that second painting out of there.

    There were rumors a while back as to a sequel to this with Mr. Brosnan, but I don't think anything ever came of it. Such a shame!

  2. I fell in love with Pierce Brosnan on Remington Steel. I couldn't wait for them to place him in the role of 007, but I think Thomas Crowne Affair was a better fit. I also liked Renee Russo playing a grown woman proud and expressive.

  3. Have to confess that I've never seen the movie, but now you've whetted my appetite, will look out for it in the DVD store.
