How many times have you guys regurgitated this list without even re-reading it?

Also, the Thomas Crown remake is way better than the original. McQueen doesn’t even do the boring bank robbery himself in the original. He just picks up a bag of money. Compare that with the amazing opening heist in the remake. Or the remake’s finale, which is one of my favorite scenes ever. It’s pure joy perfectly set to Nina Simone’s “Sinnerman.”
