The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)

The remake of the 1968 film starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway is better. Insurance investigator Rene Russo pursues Pierce Brosnan (who steals priceless paintings), and they make a cool, sexy couple with real chemistry in a movie for grown-ups.

They All Laughed (1981)

Three detectives (Ben Gazzara, John Ritter, Blaine Novak) follow two women (Audrey Hepburn, Dorothy Stratten) in a throwback to the double-talk, screwball comedies of the 1930s. There’s sweetness to the love stories, and the country soundtrack informs them.
