The programme was about the top 100 sexiest movie and tv moments voted for by viewers, with comments by film/tv critics, magazine editors and others. The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) came 71st. They
started with comments about the chess scene in the original (shown) then these comments:

Dylan Jones - editor of GQ: The original Thomas Crown Affair certainly seems a bit corny and I think if you look at the remake, the remake is far sexier.

Steven Gaydos - UK editor of Variety: When it came out, the John McTiernan film in the 90s, with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo, a lot of people thought "Oh my god, they can't remake The Thomas Crown Affair". I disagreed. I think it's a movie with a great element of
sexuality in it and a great scene of eroticism.

They then showed the dance sequence from when TC is laughing as they were dancing slowly to just after TC asks "Do you wanna dance or do you wanna dance?" before she kisses him.

Ben De Lisi - fashion designer: The electricity between Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo was (pauses) ignited everybody's soul. She's wearing that veiled slip dress by Michael Kors. It implied so much and showed her curvacious body but didn't show it, if you know what I
mean and it was that sort of 'look but don't look'.

Also showed scene from Die Another Day when Jinx emerges from the sea and Bond is watching, as well as the Dr No clips.

Personally I find any list of sexy moments that doesn't include any of PB's films offensive. But those pollers and those pollees have no taste whatsoever anyway.

BTW, Ace is probably going to kill me but Hugh Grant in the picture from Bitter Moon resembles young Alain Delon.

I won't kill you but Mon Dieu someone needs their eyes checked! ;D

And yes a list without a PB film or moment in it is just wrong, especially if it's of sexiest moments.

But hey TCA did make Life Network's recent 10 Sexiest Films:

The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)
Starring Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo

This glittery remake of the 1960s classic caper romance improves on the original's high style quotient. Thomas Crown is a millionaire whose mergers & acquisitions have gotten him everything except a cure to boredom. After completing an audacious art heist, Crown meets the end of his ennui in the form of Catherine Banning, a strong-minded insurance investigator hot on his heels. Like a sinfully rich truffle, this film is gorgeous to look at and has a delectable center: it's witty with a fiery battle-of-the-sexes and sumptuous lust between two glamorous grown-ups.

Or imagination expanded. I did say "resembled," not "looked like." There's something in the upper part of his face - eyes, eyebrows, forehead, not to mention the usual Delon's hair over the forehead. HG just reminded me of him.

Puhlease.... my imagination is off limits to Hugh Grant!

Does this mean you won't be running out to see Love Actually?

I like that comparison.

And yes, that list is certainly missing PB-movies!
