-----'Papillon', and also starring Dustin Hoffman. ...Superb performances of them both!
Based on a true story of the French convict
Henri Charriere; with a papillon (butterfly) tattooed on his chest.
'The Great Escape'; another great film, and great performance by Steve McQueen. ...Also based on a true story.
'The Thomas Crown Affair'; it's OK, but not of the same caliber as the three other ones mentioned just above.
* And of course I got them all. Plus
'Bullitt',
'The Getaway'; and all in HighDef, except for the DVD Special Edition two-Disc set of
'The Great Escape'.
** Are we having fun yet?
