If you ask someone what their favorite Steve McQueen movie is, they probably won’t say The Thomas Crown Affair. That’s a bittersweet testament to his career, because the entire movie is him being awesome, wealthy, and sneaking his thieving fingers into Faye Dunaway’s private collection. He also steals some artwork from some people. Effortlessly cool, it’s a study in mod everything – from clothes to furnishing to attitudes, and it represents a version of the 1960s where mutants aren’t constantly trying to stop the US and USSR from blowing each other up near Cuba.

Sleek, sophisticated and classy. But enough about me… I finally have some actual Cannes Film Festival news to report that people might be interested in reading! Up until now, I’ve had to live off scraps of information- including the recently announced, but long suspected inclusion of Terrence Malick’s over-due Tree of Life, but time is ticking on and we are getting into Proper Announcement Season. The big news in the past twenty four hours was the grand reveal of the Official Festival Poster, featuring an image of Faye Dunaway, shot by 1973 Palme d’Or winner Jerry Schatzberg (whose debut film Puzzle of a Downfall Child will also play at Cannes). Aside from looking a tiny bit like someone’s had a buzz-saw at the star, the poster is a beautiful thing, and I look forward to transporting its image around the Croisette on the uber-macho man-bags they always hand out at registration. And without further ado, here she is…

I’m sure a decent number of film sites out there are going to be looking at the Best Gangster films of all time. Since we already know that Analyze This tops the list every year, we decided to do something a little different – looking at the gorgeous women that stand beside their connected men.

Celebrity catfights would normally promote a movie, but not even a smackdown between Hilary Duff and Faye Dunaway can induce me to see the remake of Bonnie and Clyde
