Steve McQueen

I've always thought the The Thomas Crown Affair was a lesser movie than many Steve McQueen films, but it's certainly worth watching once if you haven't seen it. It doesn't really compare with the other movies listed in the first post.
 
I caught the last half of Papillon the other night.

Great movies!

H&I TV channel has Wanted Dead or Alive on weekday mornings.

I think I agree, but watching him get distracted — hey, what red blooded male would not?! —playing chess with Faye Dunaway is fun!
 
The King of Cool!
Just about my all time favorite actor. And The Sand Pebbles is one of my favorite movies! Missed it, but I’ve got it on DVD. I think I’ll watch it tonight.

I always wanted to be an MM1 like Jake Holman; well at least I made it to MM2:)

“Black gang don’t stand topside watches” is one of my favorite quotes from the movie.

Most definitely the King of Cool. :D
 
I saw that Hulu was recording The Sand Pebbles for me. Steve and 03 Springfields? Doesn’t get much better than that! And The Cincinnati Kid coming up? The reason I drink JTS Brown!

Oops! I got that wrong. He drank JTS Brown in “The Hustler”. Another classic!

I was stationed with a guy that claimed to have ridden dirt bikes with McQueen. He said that McQueen was one of the best riders he had ever seen or raced with, tough to beat. When I got my orders to Vietnam the guy gave me a number that was given to him by McQueen. The phone number was supposed to connect you with the M.A.R.S. system and allow you to call home from wherever you were, McQueen used it regularly and offered it to any of his friends or guys that were going overseas. I never used it but carried it for years...kind of like the dime stuck in the corner of my wallet, ran across that years ago and it turned out being silver, pre-64.
 


John my good friend bought a 2019 Bullitt in January and he said it’s the best investment he ever made. He told me that every time he gets in the car he feels like a teenager who’s about to go on a date with a girl that puts out.[emoji846]
ETA they won’t tell you that in the commercials

I really enjoyed "The Getaway" for a couple of reasons. As a young teen, we had recently moved to El Paso, and, as a young teen, I thought that Ali MacGraw was HOT!

I had the opportunity to meet her a few years ago in Santa Fe, She was just as lovely as my 14 year old self remembered.
