5. Excellent BUT ........
The Thomas Crown Affair was the BEST........No comparison to the Pierce Brosnan version.

10. That's more an ensemble movie than a McQueen movie --
but I agree that it's one of his best parts.

Myself, I love 'The Blob'!

4. "Papillon" is the correct answer. "Bullitt" is the FUN answer.

7. The Sand Pebbles
Although in all fairness, it should be credited to the writers (Richard McKenna--from his novel--and Robert Anderson) and the producer/director (Robert Wise) rather than being called a "Steve McQueen movie".

No offense meant by that diatribe, by the way...

11. "Love With the Proper Stranger"
I'm also a huge Natalie Wood fan. Also, of course I like "Bullitt." I was very sad when he died. :(
