Thank you, I definitely will!
007_Matt said:@007RogerMoore, I've seen the first 3 Moore movies but haven't gotten around to watching the rest. I actually just watched TSWLM last week. Which of them are your favorites?
007_Matt said:I do love the older Bond movies. Although CR was the one that drew me in, I bought the box set because I have a great appreciation for the older ones as well. I "technically" grew up with Brosnan; yet I prefer Craig. I think I'm more used to the "realistic" Bond movies so for me to go back and watch Moore's films it feels very campy. That's not to say I don't enjoy them, I do, it was just another type of film that lured me into the franchise.
007RogerMoore said:I perfectly see what you are coming from. I was brough in by GE, followed by TND and TWINE. I had such high expectations for the old ones (I was 8) since most people said they were better. When I saw FRWL, TB, LALD, MR, OP and TLD I was like blahhh! I though the would be as tough and gritty as GE. Then seeing MR was terrible, not to mention the what I though at the time "no action movie FRWL". But one gets used to them eventually, and might change opinions.
MR is very campy, but FYEO is perhaps the Moore movie you will like the most. It´s much more serious and down to earth. OP is similar but with more comedic moments.
AVTAK is more violent and serious but at the same time unrealistic and, according to some people, campy.

I'm getting used to them as I go; that's for sure. I think once I've seen them all a few times I'll be able to form a better opinion. As of now, CR is my favorite of my lifetime (GE to QoS). However, I do love a lot of the classics. I really enjoyed GF and FRWL.
007RogerMoore said:I am one of the few here who prefers the campy movies. Perhaps you prefer the more serious movies like FRWL and CR, they are immensely popular here. I think you may like TB, OHMSS, FYEO, TLD and LTK apart from the Brosnan and Craig movies.
What do you think about TND, TWINE and DAD?

I haven't seen TND, TWINE, and DAD in awhile. I'll have to revisit them and get back to you on that. However, I do love TB and OHMSS. I haven't gotten to FYEO, TLD, or LTK yet. Although I hear a lot of people talking up Dalton.
007RogerMoore said:Dalton is not my favorite, and is not very popular in the masses. Among Bond fans, however, he is very popular. In a CBn poll, he is third, not far from Moore, who is second. Craig and Brosnan are almost equal and are quite a bit after Dalton.
Lazenby is last as usual. Sean Connery always wins these polls, same in that one.
You have som great time in front of you, watching many Bond films for the first time!

I agree. I'm also really looking forward to getting into the Fleming novels! Well, I'm off to eat breakfast now but it was great talking to you. Thanks for properly introducing me into the Bond community!

I've been lurking around for a few weeks and figured I might as well joined. I didn't discover Bond until last year and only because of Pierce Brosnan. I love him as an actor, and thought it'd be nice to see his Bond films. Of course, I figured if I was going to see his Bond films, I might as well see all of them. I was really surprised at how much I liked Sean Connery. I wasn't expecting that since I'm generally lukewarm to his movies. Anyway, I watched all the movies and really liked them.
This year, to commerate the 50th anniversary, I decided to watch all the movies again throughout the year--up until Skyfall's premiere. My plan is to do 2, sometimes 3, movies a month. I just watched LALD, and plan to watch the next Moore film next week. I'm really enjoying watching the films again. They are great for repeat viewing.
