I am ashamed to say that I have not been a good Pierce fan as of late. Other than Momma Mia, I have not seen much of what he has done since Die Another Day.
If you have to recommend one post 2002 movie that he has done, what would it be?
Love...Xen

I would definitely recommend The Matador - a dark comedy about a hitman having a nervous breakdown in Mexico and an unlikely friendship that develops with a traveling businessman.
If you're looking for something lighter, and a good date night movie, then I'd go with After the Sunset - it's a romantic-comedy-heist movie.

"Evelyn" is a good, heart-warming drama. And "Laws of Attraction" is very reminiscent of Remington Steele. I guess it depends on what you're in the mood for. I know you asked for only one recommendation - LOL!! But it's so hard to pick just one!!

Yeah it really depends what kind of film you're looking for or in the mood for.
Laws of Attraction and After The Sunset are lighthearted fluffy fun. The Greatest and Evelyn will make you feel and cry, Bag Of Bones will make you squirm and jump, and Mamma Mia will make you sing (off key) and dance.
My favorites from the last decade are The Matador (a tour de force performance), The Ghost Writer (probably the best film) , Seraphim Falls (I like Westerns, especially dark revisionist ones that use nature and this is probably Pierce's most atypical role where he out badasses Liam Neeson) and Married Life (black comedy which would probably have been more successful if it went blacker but is still a gem with a fine comedic performance)

OK, I feel better. I have seen Evelyn, The Matador, and the one called Butterfly on a Wheel. I did see Bag of Bones too, and LOVED IT, though I forgot about it because it was on A&E. I know someone who worked on Seraphim Falls so that is first on my list, and then Ghost Writer.
By the way, I didn't mind him in Mamma Mia. I think he did a great job with his big song, SOS.
THANK YOU everyone for the suggestions.

My favorite PB roles are Remington Steele and Rory O'Manion in the mini-series "Manions of America", which was PB's first big break in 1981.

I LOVE Mannions of America, but I can't watch it too often, because I start crying at the end of the second part, and cry through most of the last part. LOL!
So what's the latest rumors about a Remington Steele reunion movie. Are there any?

So what's the latest rumors about a Remington Steele reunion movie. Are there any? A RS movie? Oh, that'd be brilliant! I love Manions of America as well though it's really tough to hear. I have to turn on the subtitles. My favorites of his stuff with Steele at #1 would be Noble House at #2. I bawled my eyes out when I saw 'Evelyn'. Laughed my butt off during 'Laws of Attraction', put the singing on mute through 'Mama Mia' and all around enjoyed After the Sunset and 'The Matador'. |

I think the last a Steele film was mentioned was during his Seraphim Falls Press Junket and Pierce said if it was made he wouldn't be playing Steele (but maybe Chalmers or another cameo) so I didn't find it such an attractive project. I think FOX was ridding high on the financially successful DVD release at the time but nothing came of it

It's a pity because I think Michael Weatherly (DiNozzo on NCIS) would make a great Mr. Steele. Of course, if Pierce is really down for playing Chalmers, letting Sean play Steele would be a nice twist.
Honestly though, I can't see any good sequels or remakes coming....TCA2, Remington Steele, the Night Watch movies. Then again, isn't it time someone revisits Lawnmower Man?
Love...X

Of course, if Pierce is really down for playing Chalmers, letting Sean play Steele would be a nice twist. I'd have to disagree with you - in part... I don't think Weatherly can do suave like Pierce. He just wouldn't be convincing. Now Sean - he at least LOOKS like Pierce. I haven't seen him act. Is he good? That's too bad Pierce wouldn't play him. I'd love to see a present day setting for the show with Pierce and Stephanie (maybe Doris?) reprising their roles. |

Weatherly has always been charming and funny, though not elegant and sophisticated. He's too American for Steele and in his 40s now too old. It would be extremely difficult to find another actor in his late 20s early 30s with the same qualities Pierce brought to the role. Much of Steele was old fashioned for the 80s, now many of those attributes are extinct in that age group to the point of wondering if those actors would want, be capable of or be attractive to a new audience acting that way. Then again there is the lovely Matt Bomer on White Collar who is playing a Steele-ish character . |

Ah yes, Mr. Matt. He is pretty amazing, isn't he, and would make a great RS.
I do recall that waaaaaaaaay back when, Remington Steele was supposed to be an American, and to relaunch it, they may want to go back to that idea.
Now, is Sean any good as an actor? Well, he was good enough a couple of summers to work with a A- level acting troupe in the UK. What he does now...who knows.
Love...B

The guy from White Collar is definitely a cutie. I'm not sure I'd be so interested in a RS movie if they make him American. Being English was part of his charm.
