Thomas Crown Affair

Who:  Amber
What:  Thomas Crown Affair
Where:  @ home - recorded off cable
Why:  I LOVE the crazy soundtrack

It's true - I watch this movie when ever I see it on TV because of the crazy soundtrack.  I can't describe the music, it's kind-of like a chant with people clapping in the background.  Regardless, it makes the whole "stealing priceless art" very exciting!

Thomas Crown (Pierce Brosnan) is a super rich, and super boring NYC business man.  He also is a master thief, specializing in ripping off art work from a NYC art museum.  The opening of the movie shows him stealing a painting.

Renee Ruso is a sex pot who is trying to catch the guy who stole the painting.  She works for some art insurance company and gets about $5 million bucks if she gets the painting back.  Her way of investigating Thomas Crown is to go on dates with him and sleep with him.  She knows he did it, and he toys with her the entire time ... will she find the painting?

Thomas Crown offers Renee Ruso $10 million dollars if she gives up and runs away with him.  She's crazy for him, and he's crazy for her, but she's got a job to do.  Crown offers to return the painting, then she must meet him at 4pm at some airport.  Does she trust this thief ... or will she continue to do her job (which she's really good at) and find that painting?

Did I mention the music rules!?!

I enjoyed this movie. You can't go wrong with Pierce Brosnan acting like a super rich guy who knows how to romance the ladies!
