Entrapment (1999)
A fun if dated crime caper that makes full use of it's Malaysian location - the spectacular Petronas Towers - in a satisfying occasionally breathtaking finale even though the whole thing defies plausibility. not to mention the age gap between the two stars of this romantic heist movie. I suppose when you consider it's Sean Connery (a tender 68 when filming) and the other star is Catherine Zeta Jones it may not be too implausible.
That said, for all it's improbabilities the sight of Zeta Jones maneuvering her body round a complex security system has become somewhat iconic in the years since.
I'd completely forgotten this old favourite was set at Christmas and New Year. Another one for the list.
