The Thomas Crown Affair (1968). Real estate mogul Crown (Steve McQueen) has orchestrated a bank heist where all of the robbers have only met each other once, there's no traces of any evidence. The Boston police are baffled. The bank's president has brought in his trusty insurance investigator Vicki (Faye Dunaway) to find out who committed this $2.6 million robbery.

Going through the bank records, she's suspicious that it was Thomas Crown who's their Man. She meets him at an art auction which benefits the American Cancer Society and is bold enough to tell him she's an insurance investigator who's working with the police to investigate this bank heist and she knows he did it. But, instead, of doing her job she begins to fall head over heels for Crown. But is it all a play to let Crown's guard down?

Dunaway keeps the audience guessing as to whether she's fallen truly in love with Crown or if she's just letting him slip up and get him to confess that he did it.

Midnight Cowboy (1969) Joe Buck (Jon Voight) quits his job as a dishwasher at Willie's restaurant in Texas and heads to New York to be a gigolo. His mind is only focused on sex because, as the flashback of bad memories shows, he was sexually traumatized as a child and a teenager. He meets Rico Rizzo a con man and thief who's a paraplegic. Locals deride Rizzo as "Ratso" Rizzo. While the friendship gets off to a rocky start, they hustle their way to survive the cold streets of New York city--often times unsuccessfully.

An issue to note is Ricco's often times homophobic slurs and being uncomfortable around bohemians, and folks like these are at the forefront to advocate politically on behalf of the Ricco's of the world, the crippled and the weak. While he's a con man, I come away feeling for Ricco and the relationship he develops with Joe Buck.

How was Battle Angel Alita? I really loved the Gunnm manga, but I'm skeptic about the movie.

As far as I'm concerned, it was FANTASTIC!!! I really enjoyed watching this movie from beginning to end. In fact, I immediately found the Gunnm manga right after I left the theater and read a little from the Volume 1, Chapter 1.

This film was worth watching.

I do as well just because I want this story of Creed to end right and not end like how Rocky did, you know.

 

[Deadmanforever97]

Yeah him coming outta nowhere with a rematch after or nearly 10 years.

But Creed 3 should be something like him trying to join the Olympics and become a Gold Medalist

The Hunter (1980) Ralph "Papa" Thorson (Steve McQueen) is a bounty hunter who goes after the most dangerous criminals because it reaps a higher reward but there's always a risk to his life. He takes down Billy Joe Pace, the nephew of the sheriff of Houston Way and the Branch Brothers, whom not even the local police would touch with a ten-foot pole. Who wants to deal with a pair of demented ding dongs who play with dynamite? But he always gets his man.

Ralph comes in to take Pete, who's drunk and unstable. Pete's upset that his neighbor Frank B. is a rich man by making his money by selling dope to high school teenagers. Monkey see, Monkey do, and police officer Pete finds drugs in the evidence locker, signs off on it, and sells it for profit. That's what he's wanted for. Pete persuades Ralph to get "shit faced" with him and forget about taking him to justice. Ralph agrees and decides that it's not worth fighting for.

When he gets back home, Ralph re-considers whether he wants to be a bounty hunter. He has a wife Dotty (Kathryn Harrold) who's a school teacher and is pregnant. But Ralph's boss Ritchie (Eli Wallach) persuades him to take down Anthony Bernardo, wanted for robbery and holding a cashier hostage at a convenient store. Bernardo's parents put their restaurant up as a collateral for Anthony's bail and if Anthony doesn't show up, Ritchie gets to own their restaurant. Does Ralph hunt Anthony and bring him to justice?

While it's a shade beneath McQueen's films Bullitt and Thomas Crown Affair, it's a solid McQueen film with ingenious action sequences and Kathryn Harrold puts forth an emotional performance.
