What to watch

The Thomas Crown A�airTCM, 6 p.m.Steve McQueen is as cool as ever playing bored Boston millionaire Thomas Crown, who masterminds a bank heist just for the fun of it. He then proceeds to have a torrid romance with the insurance investigator (Faye Dunaway) on the case. Watch for the fi lm’s famous kissing scene, and listen for its Oscar-winning original song, “The Windmills of Your Mind.”
