Always have liked McQueen. My favourites include “The Great Escape”, the above mentioned movie, “The Cincinnati Kid”, and even his last one “Hunter”. Don’t want to sound morbid, but he also ,of course, passed away from mesothelioma that took my grandfather a few years later in 1984 (Grandpa worked in an oil refinery back in the ‘20s and ‘30s as well as built houses in the ‘40s and ‘50s; that’s how our family thinks he came into contact with asbestos).
It would be hard to pick a favorite McQueen movie but “The Thomas Crown Affair,” ranks near the top of my picks.

Supposedly they vector McQueens exposure to his dad who worked in a ship yard and had boiler insulation in his work clothes he brought home and shed in the laundry room every day.
