I just finished MR. Excellent read with some very tense chapters as well as an interesting end to the (pseudo)-romance with Gala in the very last chapter. I also loved to get to know M better. I do miss that exotic feeling though, which it can…

It was your host who gave him the first spot. I love this character, from his moves, to his laugh, to his makeup, to the mystical touches. Eerie voodoo euro / Hammer horror character sneaked into a Bond film. Super iconic too, everyone knows the Bar…

Now, let's move another step closer to our top 10, with the so-called 'honourable mention' entry, at #11: BARON SAMEDI by Geoffrey Holder in Live and Let Die The good Baron is our first participant who obtained a gold medal, topping one …

I recently bought Thunderbook, which is supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek retrospective on the Bond film. Haven't read it yet, finishing MR first, but I was wondering if anyone here already did and what your thoughts were...

The following Giuseppe Tornatore double-bill:

What were your thoughts after revisiting those first two Moore outings? :) @rollsgolden

At #12 we have: IRMA BUNT by Ilse Steppat in On Her Majesty's Secret Service "The one who killed Bond's wife" obtained six top 10's: one 5th, four 6th and one 8th place. Five other members ranked her between 11th and 15th. Only two me…

Can I state the unpopular opinion that I don't dislike either? FYEO is a Moore ending not unlike TMWTGG, TSWLM or MR. No issue with LTK's ending either, always loved Q in that scene too (plus the end title song is superb). It's very 80's, but then …

@FoxRox I'm missing some European stuff in there, but it can't be argued that these are all superb films. Very nice list :) Congrats to the entire forum, btw. We surpassed the 1000-page mark. Seems we all watch so much more than just 007 ;)

Well the original Suspiria is quite different. So should you give that one a chance, which I would certainly recommend, be aware that in contrast to the 2018 homage (not really a remake if you think about it), the 1977 original is a zany, colourful,…

Neither, it is what it is... But. If I have to choose I'd say the whistle. It's just a silly sound effect slapped on anotherwise phenomenal stunt. The DAF makes no sense but I can live with it. @RichardTheBruce wow that Agent Under Fire cov…

It would appear it was me who gave May Day her highest ranking (6th). For me she and the title song + sequence are the absolute highlight of AVTAK. She's just a one-of-a-kind character. Strong, quirky outfits, working for a baddie she's in love w…

How many times do I need to repeat that the Mujahideen from 80's and the Taliban are not synonyms...? Using it then as an argument to take down TLD is historically and factually incorrect. Apart from, you know, the fact that as a scriptwriter (or a…

At #13, we have: MAY DAY by Grace Jones in A View to a Kill Undeniably iconic. And dressed for the occasion, as 007 himself observes, May Day collected only four top 10's, with a highest ranking of 6th, on one occasion. One may have e…

Just coming back here to share what I think is a superb Albania entry: Easily top 3 for me.

RIP Papa Francesco. Religion is a flawed concept, even though I don't think there is anything wrong with certain values that are promoted by them. However, as so often with many of these 'way of life' theories, radicalism and / or impunity toward…
