I watched The Thomas Crown Affair on DVD, widescreen, a nice copy. I thought it was much better than this writer indicates. Even if the movie is all style, its damn nice style. The multiple screen montage thing was big during the 60s, often used in uninspired ways, but this movie used the technique in very clever ways. Also, Haskell Wexler's cinematography here is IMO exquisite.

Also I loved Bullitt, especially the airport scene at the end. These two movies alone, flaws and all, make most movies today look anemic.

Yeah, that airport scene could never happen today. DHS would have shot him dead for "terrorizing" the plane.
