  • I personally enjoy Return, Strikes Again and Revenge more than A Shot in the Dark. I find myself laughing out loud several times in the later ones than in ASITD. Although I think the 1963 original is still the best: co-stars David Niven, Capucine…

  • We've reached 15 participants! If anyone is still interested in participating who hasn't submitted a list, they are of course most welcome to do so. I will start counting the results this Saturday, which means the submission deadline is this F…
  • Love all the Peter Sellers Pink Panther films, but never liked any of the ones without him. Curious of this one can break that trend.
  • Either is fine. I don't think they are that different in tone. Both mix serious aspects with a bit of humour.

  • OSS 117 TRILOGY (2006-2021) Directed by Michel Hazanavicius, Nicolas Bedos After the very first Bond spoof, CR67, it was only logical to proceed with the very best Bond parody: the recent OSS 117 films with Jean Dujardin. Dujardin nails t…

  • One more list and the magic number of 15 participants has been reached... :)
  • I might as well add two of my favourite incarnations of regular characters come from the unofficials too: - Barbara Bouchet as Moneypenny - Bernie Casey as Felix
  • I've watched them chronologically many times, but these days just randomly shifting actors, eras and styles just appeals a bit more to me. For variety's sake. One day TMWTGG, the next day LTK.
  • At the risk of being thrown in Bond fan prison, there's no other thread I would dare to confess my fondness for both CR67 and NSNA. Obviously I think CR06 is better than CR67, and I consider TB to be superior to NSNA. Having said that, if I'm com…

  • So far I have received 11 lists. A couple more will do, but hopefully a lot more are still to come in. :)
  • FYEO was a superb rewatch, though LTK is obviously also still a firm favourite, no worries ;)
  • Tough one, I can see why one would find LALD an easier listen, but LTK takes me back to a film I really love. The Latin American motives are also very enjoyable, I'll be in the minority to vote for LTK here.
  • I agree @Dwayne. Joanna Pettet is one of the highlights in the film. Honestly, I never really know how to rate CR67. I enjoy it a lot, if I don't count it as a Bond film I would give it a higher rating, if I include it in the canon I can't put it a…
  • Superb fellas, thanks! @goldenswissroyale and @007HallY, I understand your feelings and respect them 100% :) As I see there are members interested in a film-by-film performance ranking, I'll do that one after this one, it'll be interesting to …

  • Great stuff, folks! :)
  • After a rather pleasant rewatch of CR67, I have now revisited all the Bond films (EON or otherwise), and using a preference revealer, "science" tells me this ought to be my ranking (a few things surprised me to be honest, but I am happy with it none…
  • I like Luc Besson's films in general. Granted, most of the ones I really like are from his earlier years, yet I did enjoy Anna very much. So given I like both Besson's style as well as the subject matter, I'll probably check this one out at some poi…
  • Only nine participants so far, which isn't enough to warrant this contest I'm afraid. So please keep them coming :) In the meantime, those that want to participate can already send me their lists. All Bond actors are eligible, please consider …
  • CASINO ROYALE (1967) Insanity rules supreme in the mother of all Bond parodies, and it's all the better for it. It has an elegant Burt Bacharach score, gorgeous sets and costumes, the great David Niven playing a chaste James Bond excellently, and…
