Agree.
Must be close to 400 times that i've watched it.
See I can easily pick it up then or I usually do right after the plane takes off and the Necros fight that follows..
After that it's all downhill for me, and rapidly. Explosions galore with no real direction. I much prefer theLTK tanker finale.
Similar to "England, The Empire, Mi6" from Silva in SF.
A sort of mocking laughter. Hence Shah's look at them, sort of suggesting 'Cool it. That's enough now'. A neat moment.
"Keep laughing at me and I'll beat The Living Daylights" out of you."
Woah!
I can't believe there are people out there who have seen it more times than me! ^:)^
The first and still the best Bond film IMO. B-)
I might have seen GoldenEye a good 50 times I think, The Living Daylights probably even more.
I do very much enjoy Timothy Dalton. However, I keep reading, on an almost daily basis, @chrisisall, @MajorDSmythe and @DarthDimi saying that Dalton is the 'best ever Bond by a huge margin'.
Within the end of TLD's PTS, I'm like 'Ok, this Dalton guy is quite good'. After Koskov's defection 'Jesus christ, this dude's a legend'. By the half way point of TLD, I can't get enough of Tim Dalton. As soon as the end credits start, I go 'gimme LTK now!!!'. Half way through LTK, 'Brosnan who? Craig who? Neeson who? Statham who? Connery who? Dalton is the true british badass!' When I reach the end of the 4 hours runtime of both films, it dawns on me why @DarthDimi, @Major and @chrisisall sing Dalton's praise all the time.
What an absolute legend! Sure, Moore is my favorite Bond, but I'll be damned if I don't enjoy Dalton being a total, utter, and absolute beast as James Bond 007. I just love the guy, and if I didn't have to sleep I would rewatch both his outings right away!
So, in conclusion: Long live Timothy Friggin Dalton!
Dalton is not only my favourite Bond but definitely the best as well.
I wish they could clone him and make new movies with him.
With LTK, the movie had no Barry safety net, and Dalton was on his own. And he STILL made it work.
Truly the best Bond film like you said Mendes4Lyfe and my favourite movie ever made, and i've seen all the top films to compare them to DR NO.
How many times do you think you've seen it Mendes4Lyfe?
Since getting the disk versions sometimes i watch it 3-4 times a week. It's so rewatchable isn't it ?
Just finished out my Guy Hamilton tribute with LALD. First time watching this one since my pre-SP Bondathon.
I had a blast and really enjoyed it this time. Moore's debut is a confident one, and he maintains a serious (for him) demenour throughout. He's pretty good in the fights here, and even runs pretty well in Kananga's HQ (similar to what I used to see in him in the Saint). I love Seymour as Solitaire, and Kotto is great as both Kanaga & Big - he's chilling in both roles imho.
The standouts for me this time were Martin's incredible score and the fact that I noticed there is next to no green screen in this film, thankfully. Nearly all the stunts are done for real. Moore is actually in the boat driving it during the Louisiana chase, which he didn't do in MR if I'm not mistaken (I noticed green screen during the boat chase in that film), and the crocodile scene is excellent for the same reasons - one can almost smell the bayou, it's so realistic. I've always enjoyed that boat chase, and it remains a highlight for me - such amazing stuntwork throughout.
The only negative for me is the exploding Kananga.
LALD remains just outside the top 10 at #11 for me, sandwiched between LTK & FYEO.
I probably watch it once or twice a month currently. There was a period where I would watch it every week, It's in the top 5 most rewatchable films in the series, easy. I'm probably closing in on 100 watches, which is a lot considering I only truely fell in love with the film a few years ago. Ever since then it has never fallen from my #1 spot, and never will. The film just comes so close to perfection that I don't think another Bond film could ever overtake it.
I agree somewhat when you say the film just comes so close to perfection because i think it is perfection. :)
That's a good photo. Look at all those damns, that he isn't going to give.
There's a lot to love in this entry, including David Arnold's brilliant score.
