Here I go just under the wire. First, Wint and Kidd, not an easy choice as I also like the twins, but they're more essential. A good percentage of the henchmen after the first 3 films were Red Grant or Oddjob variations, reminding viewers of thos…

I will agree on the tank chase. It seemed to be a case of needing to get Bond into a mode of transport he hadn't been in and the end result always reminded me more of an outtake from The Blues Brothers rather than Bond.

We have some good dialogue about SF going on right here. Thanks for the feedback. It's one of the films I've been wanting to revisit lately.

What's all this about SF being such an original and great screenplay? It not only repeats a lot of TWINE but also The Dark Knight. And didn't the first Avengers movie earlier that year also have the villain captured? That's called derivative. Whi…

I also like the Miami airport sequence. It starts out with a bizarre setting with the bodies exhibition and then another example of the raw Bond going after his objective at all costs. I like that CR tries a fresh approach with a more toned down …

FYEO is like a stunt film with Fleming elements wrapped around it as an afterthought. An attempt to get an important device is also straight out of FRWL. One of the reviews of the time even led with the emphasis is on stunts instead of effects. FYEO…

I'd need to read the Bond scores book again to refresh the reaction to the score, but are we taking this in with modern ears, so to speak? Sure Norman's score would be dismissed as awful even by the time FRWL came out, but in 1962 and '63 I'm pretty…

For question 1, I have to go with Moore Bond and Octopussy, simply because Adams is by far the best natural match for Moore's Bond. It's like they finally got the ideal chemistry, the right partner for him especially considering that film is bookend…

I really think they quit with Sylvia at just the right time. Introduced in DN and continued in FRWL. Joke done and not overextended. It would've been an unnecessary way to slow the films down to include her along with the obligatory office scenes…

My bottom two films make an appearance in this week's poll and both will lose out on my vote. Pussy Galore by miles galore. Fans know Fleming's version of her is one of his least inspired (the name aside) as an avowed lesbian turns to Bond's side…

I recall my brother having met Frank Gorshin at a convention in the '80s and that was his impression that all he did was smoke cigarettes. By far my favorite guest villain of the Batman '66 series, alternately crazy, funny and dangerous.
