Today I watched "The Great St. Louis Bank Robbery". Very classic McQueen's movie. Story about four bank robbers. McQueen's role is car driver. They thought their plan is perfect. They did simulation training. But they failed one thing.......have you ever seen this movie?
Steve McQueen is my favorite actors as much as Clint Eastwood. I saw a lot of his movies. In "The Magnificent Seven", he was fast with a gun. In "The Great Escape", he was a soldier/prisoner. In "The Cincinnati Kid", he was a gambler. In "The Towering Inferno", he was a fireman. Tom Horn, Papillon, The Blob, Bullitt, The Thomas Crown Affair, Nevada Smith......his movies anytime made me enjoy. Not only movies. "Wanted Dead or Alive", when I was youth, I enjoyed it on TV every week.
Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Steve McQueen, they were superstars in '70s. But McQueen was special. Too bad he died at 50. If he is alive now, he is 75 years old. I don't know how many movies we can see after "The Hunter". But he is always my hero.
Are you McQueen's fan? What are your favorite McQueen movies?
