    What connects a 1991 film about a sophisticated, cash-poor couple in London; a 2001 film about a composer's wife set in turn-of-the century Vienna; a film based on a successful novel, set in Paris, and concerned with the ending of a marriage; and a remake of a classic 1968 film with a famous theme song?

    		So that'll be "The Object of Beauty", "Bride of the Wind", "Le Divorce" and "The Thomas Crown Affair". All have references to art history.

    What no "Bean: The Movie"?

    		Yay, gmack! You picked exactly the right site.

    Actually, the connection is a plot point that turns on a single work of art. For example, the remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair" begins with the theft of a Monet.

    Though the Maven and I are crazy about Rowan Atkinson.
