  • I think Dalton actually finds that right balance between the several aspects of the literary character, he's brooding but not depressed, he's smart but not a show-off, and that typical sense of wanting to protect friends and lovers I can really see …

  • Elvis came in 28th for me. I am a QOS defender, but he's a pretty useless and isn't eccentric enough. Noticed that he's at least trilingual, maybe he's just an interpreter caught in the wrong circumstances :)) I must say this though, while QOS's …
  • Quite right @Dwayne. I catch myself doing the same thing. Awesome find on Mie Hama, btw :)
  • Pleased to announce that we can finally kick this off. So without further redo, here's our bottom choice, at #30: ELVIS by Anatole Taubman in Quantum of Solace Our Swiss friend ends up last with no less than five bottom finishes, thre…
  • Yesterday it was cover & duet night at Sanremo, and Giorgia and Annalisa, two excellent singers, brought a Skyfall cover together. And they won. I can't find any footage of the full performance (except on the RAI app), but I love it when two pas…
  • @j_w_pepper Interesting, personally as an Éric Serra fan, I love the score to The Fifth Element! In other news, Duran Duran made a 12-minute guest appearance at Sanremo, where they performed together with Victoria De Angelis. No AVTAK unfortunate…

  • Being an Italophile I can't resist following this year's edition of the world's oldest annual tv music competition: the Sanremo festival. In contrast to the Eurovision song contest which is inspired by it, this one is still performed by singers w…

  • My favourite Bond film is either The Living Daylights or Licence to Kill. Outside this franchise, I'd say my top 5 spy films would be: - The Lives of Others (aka Das Leben der Anderen): one of the very best films I've ever seen. It even actual…
  • Quick update, just entered all of your rankings with the exception of my own, will do that this week and then I'll also add everything up. So the first reveal can be expected by the end of next week. Maybe even earlier than that. P.S. we managed …
  • I suppose we won't always be fighting, so I've got to go for Bambi and Thumper :p

  • THE MARK OF ZORRO (1940) It's amazing how fast-paced this film is, for its time this is an absolute rollercoaster. The final swordfight is phenomenal too of course. And Tyrone Power is fantastically charming as the main man, although big shou…
  • Some amazing stuff here, just off the top of my head I found He Disagreed with Something That Ate Him and the casino source music absolute highlights.
  • A VIEW TO A KILL Absolutely love that first half, with the snow mission behind the Iron Curtain, the phenomenal Duran Duran song during that magnificently 80's title sequence and those Paris and Chantilly scenes. Several colourful characters also g…
