The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) (currently on Tubi) is one of the only movies that actually feels like a romance novel.
--Rene Russo and Pierce Brosnan at their peak late 90s, "you're bi, actually" hotness
--Rene Russo is a grown-ass woman who's totally age appropriate for Pierce and has a ridiculous job "insurance investigator" like sure but you're investigating art crime so
--Pierce is a billionaire; I don't know how he did that; he steals incredibly famous masterpieces for fun and because he's bored, as we learn through his Faye Dunaway therapy sessions
--he genuinely just likes her from the jump, she likes him from the jump, they understandably wanna fuck hard, so even though she's investigating him for art crime and he knows this, they do, after a dance in which Rene Russo wears one of the greatest movie dresses ever, a completely sheer black gown that drapes over her body better than any dress ever, probably
--and they do a ridiculous dance in public and he goes "do you wanna dance or do you wanna DANCE" and they have what looks to be actually fun sex all over his fancy house, including the stairs, and there is much frolicking
--he also takes her to an island and they sail, I don't know how Rene is doing her job, does it matter, this is a Harlequin Presents x Blaze in that it has the billionaire jetsetting aspects of a Presents and the sex and insanity of a Blaze
--they spend what feels like half the movie naked, at one point they're just talking comfortably about his blatant crimes while he likes naked on his stomach and Rene Russo lies on his back, intimacy like this does not exist in cinema anymore
--Rene Russo looks completely glorious throughout this movie; Piece is full Pierce; it is everything
--there is so much CASUAL AFFECTION we live in a cold DEAD society today
