[47midnight]

i want that suit and bowler hat

[IIStelmariaII]

I love this scene, it's one of my favorites of all time.

[T4Tyson]

This scene is like a beautiful dance. It's so good I can't handle it. I love when he throws the smoke bombs and they make figure eights before they exploding. Beautiful and Brilliant scene!!!

[DUHFUNKIEPURPLEHIPPO]

where did you go sinner man?

[Atheist88mphPirate]

Brilliant.

[Alex196805]

Similar to vote in Russia! LOL!

[Alex196805]

Nice clip! Thanx!

[rautrohit]

this trick wld hv failed in the early 1990s ;p bcoz everyone wore bowler hats :P

[rautrohit]

@rautrohit - i meant 1900ss...not 1990s

[sarthran20101978]

What do we do? What do we do??!!!

...just start arresting people :DDDD

[jo0k]

3:20 :D

[wtflookatme]

[dmt88]

Brosnan, Most classy man ever

[LAsexyLA]

the art of becoming invisible ;)

[donelyscarino]

Amo esta pelicula. Siempre sera una de mis favoritas.

[gparikian]

excellent movie, I can watch it every week

[Snipesvideos]

Wonderful clip...stylish - love the song "Sinner Man". Thanks for posting!

9 people who disliked this work in law enforcement

[brianprince100]

@bryanvsmith Of Course! They are the "sinner men" - they try to be JUDGE , jury and executioner. What is funniest, is that thomas Crown...originally DONATED the painting in the first place!

[Ozziguy6]

The song just absolutely nails it, without it it would be no where near as climatic and awesome.

[finda222]

@Ozziguy6 Totally agree

[brianprince100]

Many of You should think of Two Relevant Paintings...with this story.  Most of You would enjoy the SYMBLOISM of SUBSTANCE..to this CLIP. The GARDEN of EDEN scene (painted over the Fig Tree) - in the SISTINE CHAPEL - by Michelangelo. The second painting is MELANCHOLIA I by Albert Durher. 1514 a.d. GRACE TO THE CAPSTONE. Magic Squares of Ezekiel 34. Amen.

[p1kk45]

@brianprince100 " YOU FUCKING GEEK"

[brianprince100]

@p1kk45 - What is a geek? A curious circus clown atrraction? What is Fornication Under Command of the King?

lol.

[p1kk45]

@brianprince100" FUCK OFF"

[brianprince100]

@p1kk45 - HAPPY HALLOWEEN! REVELATION 6:12-17!

[ryanjofre]

Good Movie, Brilliant Ending. In a Happier time before Sept. 11th and Endless Wars!!!

The best part of the Movie is that the Female Star of the Original Thomas Crowne Affair with Steve McQueen is his Psychiatrist in this flick....Brilliant. The One and Only Faye Dunaway.

[brianprince100]

One of my favorite movie clips of all time! 711 to 355! Great CULPEPPER wisdom!

[toba99999]

theres always a way.....

[Marcoloma1]

Es una hermosa película, y te hace salir de todos los problemas cotidianos.

[nandc2009]

I like the way even the smoke bombs roll in a cool way.

[dragonboy718]

GREAT FILM.....I want to live this one

[gallstonethefirst]

How does he steal the second painting? It has one entrance which had a gate on it. It doesn't make sense!

[RawbThatPunk]

after watching the overplayed HTC commercial, I knew where I heard the song from.

[bootworked]

Nina Simone - Sinnerman (NOT the original version perhaps???)

[manutrianero]

Get By!

[KillerDirector10]

whats this song????



[kendama99]

@KillerDirector10 The song is called Sinnerman by the great Nina Simone.

[bootworked]

@KillerDirector10 Nina Simone - Sinnerman

[HarrisonOdell]

One of the most well-devised climaxes of cinematic history.

[finda222]

@HarrisonOdell Just an amazingly stylish movie.  Never saw the original. One of my favourite movies of all time

[ValAktaion]

@HarrisonOdell You must be joking. I had a fun time watching this film, but hey, it's everything but a classic

[TheMusicisawesome]

That Music is so awesome, best movie ever!

(That song, what's the name of it?)

[kendama99]

@TheMusicisawesome It's called Sinnerman by Nina Simone.

[TheMusicisawesome]

@kendama99 Thank you!

[bootworked]

@TheMusicisawesome Nina Simone - Sinnerman

[md991free]

@bootworked Nina Simone is timeless and her voice legendary.

[90loneeagle]

the most interesting man in the world!

[wrcarlson1]

Awesome she was like oh shit he got me the painting

[mcbrave15]

This movie is on my top 5 of all time movies!!!!

[grayze07]

when is the The Topkapi Affair gunna b filmed?

[tibbsyboy]

Possibly the coolest scene EVER!!!

[MrAngels444]

That cop did good he ended up being Police commisioner in Baltimore aka The Wire

[MikeAM78]

What could have been an exciting finale, ruined by one of the most obnoxious songs ever recorded. :(

[jackallen8]

@MikeAM78 are you tottaly brainless......

[VrNghtOwl]

@MikeAM78 come on sinner man a great song, like some one else said your a idiot

[markdy13]

To achieve 'special' status does not require longevity. Look at James Dean, for just one example. And as for Brosnan attempting to play Bond, personally I found him way too smooth. Connery provides the grit in the man's character. Certainly Brosnan was not helped by poor scripts/dialogue in the latter Bond movies.

[markdy13]

A considered response Mr Lunitunz, but I must say that for me Brosnan's acting is very one-dimensional. Certainly as far as Thomas Crown is concerned he doesn't have the charisma of Steve McQueen. And as for Bond, well come on - Connery IS Bond...!

[MrLunitunz]

@markdy13 I disagree. McQueen died too young to be anything special. As for Connery, Connery's great but Pierce Brosnan is/was the closest we'll ever get to having Cary Grant play Bond. Of course, film is art, and art is subjective, so you're entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to respectfully disagree.

[markdy13]

What a load of shite. What were they thinking of...? Trying to re-make an absolute classic, which is what the original is. Pierce Brosnan, do me a favour please... Couldn't cut it as Bond, and certainly can't cut it as Thomas Crown. But there again, very tough acts to follow, Connery and McQueen. Best advice is, don't try... Stick to Remington Steele Pierce.

[MrLunitunz]

@markdy13 Brosnan did very well at both, he is my personal favourite as Bond and reviewers said that this remake actually managed the impossible task of being better than the original. Pierce's acting abilities extended far and beyond Remington Steele.

[jvillwock]

One of the best of ALL TIME>

[ReaIMusic]

listen to timbaland - oh timbaland

timbaland sampled shit off of this movie

piano and clapping at 1:30

and the vocals at 2:12



[MrLunitunz]

@ReaIMusic He sampled the song not the movie.

[sandynathan]

i love this scene its a great case of now you see me...now you dont!!!

epic scene of a brilliant film!!!

[sandynathan]

does anybody else gets shivers when he says "lets play ball" and the music starts!!!such an epic scene!!!!

[Tigerman1138]

@sandynathan I remember I did! I still do!

[blackcherrywoman]

I love pierce brosnan he's so sexy !

[Lollazizi]

@blackcherrywoman agree with you........he is so yummy!!

[edcadfab]

very very clever even though a movie.... ahh the ideas.

[rolyatecnal]

Best movie scene ever! Music works totally too!

[KatieJoyV]

One of the best movie scenes ever!!!

[MarcusLeepapi]

I like this scene.. It is really nice....

[SlikeWoW]

<3 that song ;D 

[mrkadrnka]

PIERCE BROSNAN and RENE RUSSO are very very good actors........It´s visible!!

[Sed1er]

this movie is so fuckin good.

[VladimirPotran]

Fantastic,epic,just watched this movie......pierce brosnan is god for this!!

[SavagePersonified90]

this and titanic are my two favorite movies of the 90s

[awiserbud]

the best part of the film without doubt, and brosnan pulls it off so well, nina simones "sinner man" is just perfect for this clip too,

And oh, i would LOVE to see a rene magritte flash mob like this...that would be amazing.

[mfsrio]

Thomas Crown for PRESIDENT....

I Love this guy...

[mrkadrnka]

@mfsrio Me too..

[beekothefreako]

It's a Magritte flash mob!!

[Gabbesp1995]

he might not be able to sing, but he sure as hell can be awesome

[teamcarramrod]

song: Nina Simone - Sinnerman

[wantedmor39]

simply amazing ...

[wantedmor39]

simply amazing

[glock21csv]

i like more the old version Steve Mcqueen is awesome actor

[jobbbigt]

This is one of the BEST ending senes I have ever seen, and I have seen ALOT of movies!

[ray0gun]

There was a scene where he was getting fitted for a suit in his office. It looked like the same beige suit he wore when he got rid of the overcoat.

Maybe...he knew Catherine Banning would be investigating. So the plan wasn't to steal the painting but to get her to steal her heart.

[trueathlete15]

I wish my life was like Thomas Crown's. Pulling of high profile art heists just for the fun of it lol

[shaworld]

@trueathlete15

I am a billionaire who gets his kicks from heisting stuff from Wal-Mart. Perhaps, you would like to accompany me?

[trueathlete15]

@shaworld of course!!!! But wouldn't two well dressed recreational criminals such as ourselves find themselves sticking out in the crowd at wal mart lol.

[maskmanyeah]

clever :)

[xelbaga1987]

pierce brosnan is the best at espionage character..he is also the best bond ever and fuck you in advance if you don't agree

[HansRoht]

James Bond her Mistress!

[HansRoht]

La pintura va derecho al museo.

[blindrawing]

prefect song

for a perfect plan

for a perfect movie

[schnamtaro]

I want to know how many takes it took to get the smoke pucks to weave their paths that way.

[Hakbje]

I have to smile everytime I see this scene! Brilliant!

"Letsss play ball!"

[HansRoht]

Die Federal Reserve ist in der Schweiz :-)

[joshuazp1]

how he managed to steal the second painting?... well, its Thomas Crown right!

[Ontarianmm]

@joshuazp1

no it is Pierce Brosnan

[RedFoxAce]

How did he manage to steal the second one (the painting he gave to Catherine?) The gates were down.

[littlesmurf95]

Just one question: How did he steal the second painting?

[SweMaria]

This scen is so freakin' amazing! Love this! <3

[okgo1211]

i love this so much

[petechett]

trust James Bond to outsmart them

[slokaka]

Man this is the place where timbo got the ideia for oh timbaland song and afther he used the nina simons sample

[RedFoxAce]

This Crown guy is one heck of a well-planned and thought-out schemer.

[chawcincao]

is this movie comes with the true story ? please reply :)

[arthurernani]

What´s the name of the song???

[chidori108]

@arthurernani its sinnerman

[Seyahhsod]

@arthurernani

.......Sinner man

.......By Nina Simone

.......watch?v=Bn5tiuZU4JI

[VrNghtOwl]

@arthurernani sinner man by Nina Simone great song great singer

[bsus1412]

my favorite scene of all time

[PinkBebe123]

i have that hat

[bornagainbouncer]

What a great ending

[partyhat3]

Cool film, Brosnan and Russo were great together

[hairtthemusicalfan]

'Nina Simone' is brilliant

[czarli]

Russo looks so hot in that see thru dress...

[MJLoveuz]

I LOVE hat Men & Magritte...he he

[VrNghtOwl]

@MJLoveuz only pierce can make a bowler hat look cool

[Armotiro]

Amazing its a masterpiece

[Armotiro]

whatsthe song

[RobSpringer85141]

@Armotiro Sinnerman by Nina Simone

[Whyavier]

The name's Crown, Thomas Crown.

[ArthurSavillesCrime]

Isn't that enough to secure Thomas Crown's conviction? His pens, donation, the paint etc.

[dragfirebird73]

whats that painting name with the guy face replace with a apple i want that painting

[YoshimitshuX]

@dragfirebird73 THE SON OF MAN is the name of the painting

[dragfirebird73]

@YoshimitshuX thanks yoshi i been wanting to buy that painting ever since i seen the movie lol

[prachitibm]

A lot of ppl. don't understand this scene actually, wat he has very eloquently tried to do here is make a video version of mc escher's convex, and concave, and relativity. It's like a tribute to mc escher. a perfect artistic tribute in the end to the master by a master.

[salomen2d]

My favourite movie, with amazing Nina Simone's music

[jojojames1995]

awsem

[geothedeadman13]

Just one word: Brilliant!

[barekoner]

whats the name of that song???

[dog311]

Nina Simone - Sinnerman

[mkrg40]

sinnerman (nina simone)

[melissaluvstim]

If you havent seen the movie dont watch this it is the end.. It iwll give it away

[jojojames1995]

lol true, but such a good scene that might make u want to watch it

[melissaluvstim]

I love this movie. I can never get tired of watching it.

[Tigerman1138]

My favorite scene is the "failed" robbery. This elderly proctor, probably a grandfather, noticed the shadow of the rotor blades. All you see is the telescoping of the stun baton....

The next scene has shouting and then the thieves running.

"Watch out Mr. Crown!" (as he shoves Crown aside for safety

ZZZZZPPPPPPPPPPP!

[aguscanzani]

just... outstanding.

[ellenor09]

this is my best film of all love the film and the soundtrack sinnerman by nina simmone goes so well with it.

[Criptografo]

en las primeras escenas pasan muchas cosas fuera de la realidad de la fisica por ejemplo como cabe una pintura con marco interno en un maletin ???????

[thermopoly13]

en el inico de la película la pintura esta "folded" en the briefcase.

lo siento mi espanol en no bueno

[Criptografo]

what are u talking about

[thereflex101]

that is ........ AWESOME!!!

although i dont get how he was able to slip smoke bombs into a room that was guarded UNBELIEVABLY heavily. I mean..... HOW??!

[darkapprentice78]

easy, my child, it is because he is the mighty.... the unbelievable...... the epic.... PIERCE BROSNAN

[Aettaro]

Oh god I love this movie, and this scene is the best part of the whole affair!

[mastergunes]

such a cool movie!

[luishistoria]

Esta pelicula tiene un gran encanto, el encanto de la buena vida. Yo fui a NY a conocerla por la pelicula. Y anduve en le domicilio del Thomas Crown, calle 68 y Lexington, y lo mejor es que la casa existe, ja ja

[AnonymousRevolutionX]

It's an ausome film.

[sebastianudovids]

un dia me di cuenta casi sin saberlo que esta era mi peli favorita ,seguramente por esta escena,una de las mejores que vi:la musica,la idea del Tomas Crown de llevar muchos hombres al museo,la parte donde muestran todas esas pinturas increibles que toman vida,etc gloriosa peli

[Traneseshana]

Hey what's that song called? while the cops are looking for Crown?

[golosoderrorras]

"Sinnerman", by Nina Simone (1966)

watch?v=H6_BWNzThJY

[24cameraman24]

Sinner Man by Nina Simone

[JasonNightingale]

There's gonna be a sequel, just google for it.

It'll have Pierce Brosnan as Thomas Crown but there won't be a Catherine Banning in it, so no Rene Russo. "How'd he get the second painting?" I guess the mystery shall stay alive.

[markus122piesuckers]

thats a great movie

[samsam29]

I forgot to add, I think it's a better fit that Crown steals a painting than just money. Money he already has and plenty; sure there's always the thrill, but this has the thrill combined with the class. I was surprised the original one has him stealing just money.

[smokeanddiamonds1]

Pierce is soooooooo hot in this movie...makes no sense.

[ZeroKool7140]

they just got served!

[syeahtsam]

what is the song of this part?

pleeeeaseeeee! i need it

[trickmastermonkey]

the song is called "Sinnerman" by Nina Simone.

[JiS01]

Ow, and how did he put those pencils there again? :P Just wondering, cause it not just a detail, its réally important, otherwise he failed...

[paardenpaarden]

Maybe one of the guys he hired to walk in the heads, placed them there before he hit the fire alarm

[JiS01]

Hmm...yeah, could be...

[shawubble]

He put them there days before when he loaned them the painting

[xJamesBond007]

What i dont understand is why?

[shawubble]

It is just the thrill of being able to skillfully outsmart them.

[xJamesBond007]

Lol Thx. I cant believe something of a small plot like that can turn into such a KICK ASS MOVIE

[shawubble]

No prob. It is perfect isn't it . Simplicty goes a long way.

[JiS01]

And it all comes down to Magritte! :P

Luv the movie too, great stuff! Nina Simone máde the ending!

Only 1 thing that REALLY irritates me bout the whole movie; Frankie Faison!! Aaarrhggh sorry, but the dude just can't fackin act!

[apban]

Now the remake of TCA has some interesting points and is better in some ways, and I do like Pierce Brosnan but McQueen would never have needed to say a line like 'lets play ball' and that's the difference between Brosnan and McQueen as Crown and why i prefer McQueen's Crown
