John Barry's main OHMSS theme, no question. Just a great theme I never get tired of. I'd say absolutely if a composer offered something close to this quality for the main title as opposed to some pop star of the moment warbling for the sake of more …

A couple of things to add on recent comments: -The YOLT final battle probably tops the others (props to OHMSS as stated above). TSWLM's is positively pedestrian in comparison with poor pacing during that battle. The ninjas with the swords and thr…

I'm curious how much money McClory racked up over the years trying to remount another Bond film. It seemed false starting announcements were being announced every couple years in trade publications.

I was also 12 when the original Superman came out and still remember that as one of the great cinematic experiences of my life. My uncle took me and my brother on a Sunday evening and the concession stand sold the program and even some kind of glowi…

I actually sold my Blu and DVD copies of NSNA back in 2011 or 2012. Netted I think close to $60 for the Blu and about $25-30 for the DVD, so that was well worth it at the time for a film I really didn't watch as I figured it will come out again at s…

I was also 14 and heard the famous Howard Cosell announcement on Monday Night Football. Although we didn't know a lot about Lennon, that was a big topic at our school the next day too. Part of what was shocking then was there just weren't that man h…

Mann reminds me of Richard Donner in being underrated as opposed to some of his peers. Excels in the crime genre, although Last of the Mohicans is a gorgeous film, one of my wife's favorites. On a side note, I used to work with a guy who is a his…

I thought Renner's best performance was in the comedy Tag. He stood out as the most elusive and talented tag player in a group of adults who have been playing an ongoing game of tag since they were kids. Great cast. Renner hit the right notes as bei…

Please add me as one who appreciates the Mondeo scene with the music. It never crossed my mind the model of the car. That would be more blatant in several other films, particularly in the Brosnan era and in particular the BMW in GE that is set up ju…

Unlike the possibility of an Indiana Jones 5 with an aged Harrison Ford, another Lethal Weapon seems a pretty desperate idea. Whereas the Indy following is still strong, Lethal Weapon probably didn't even have the same enthusiastic fan base as Die H…

DAF all the way. Was it by Blofeld's order to put Bond in a pipe or did he just leave it up to Wint and Kidd how they wanted to dispose of him? Those two wouldn't have lasted in the old SPECTRE given their rate of failure in not ending Bond. And if …

This isn't hard as if Connery is in it, it immediately gets my attention, though I admit there are some I am not as interested in seeing again as others - Metor, The Russia House, The Avengers, Dragonheart for example. Never seen Medicine Man and do…

As I see many of the memories are from fans who saw it on VHS or was their first Bond film, I'd like to share my perspective as a longtime fan. For those of us who lived through the gap between LTK and GE, the wait for NTTD and other films with l…
