laughably horrible

after reading the reviews of this movie, i was really excited to see this. i just watched it last night for the first time, and i'm not really sure what i was expecting, but i wasn't impressed.

i'm really into cinema classics from the 60s and 70s, and i guess this movie was good to watch just for the sake of knowing about it, but i don't even know where to be begin with this movie.

right from the theme song, i couldn't help but laugh. the movie was unintentionally hilarious. the ending where vicky starts crying was also unintentionally hilarious. low quality film and completely over-dramatic main characters in my opinion.

the only thing that kept me watching to the very end was paul burke. other than that, i don't have any plans of watching this film again. and this is all coming from someone who's seen 'rosemary's baby' about 300 times and still doesn't get tired of it.

i'd have to give 'thomas crown affair' a 4.5 out of 10.

The movie is great as a glimpse into the late 60's, and the timeless look of the movie. The clothing, car, home, etc. And McQueen and Dunaway have good chemistry. But other than that, it's pretty thin. I'd say it's a 5 or 6 out of 10, but it's def. a movie I can understand people not liking.
