TLD is my favourite Barry score, and arguably my favourite of them all, so it has to be that one. FRWL is still great though.

Very interesting thoughts @mattjoes. As for myself, I love me some synth, probably more than most, and I adore both Hamlisch' TSWLM as well as Conti's FYEO. At the end of the day, though, if I have to pick one, I'd take FYEO.

For me also second after FRWL for the reasons already mentioned. Top 10 entry in general :) One of my favourite Barry scores too.

There's also an argument that can be had on Bond staying captivity for quite some time in GF, and the Fort Knox invasion, incl. the 'baby is asleep' part, takes a long time as well. I find those parts less interesting than the stunning underwater sh…

To get things back on topic, I really like the NSNA finale in the cave. Even most of the film's defenders would find its climax a lesser aspect, but I very much enjoy it. I think it's a nice set, and I really enjoy Felix joining in too. Is thi…

Love Tissot in general, and this model in particular. Would love to pick one up. This one, the Gruen Precision, the Seiko 'Chantilly' and Dalton's Heuer are the ones I like best.

I loved the look of the 124, though I would have probably went for one very specific Abarth-variation: the Abarth 124 Spider in San Marino nero. But alas, not quite ideal if you want to start a family, so we went for a Fiat 500x instead, which was q…

In defence of whoever has unconventional preferences, I'd say that's the beauty of Bond fandom, we all have a different ranking and there are always going to be likes and dislikes we may not share with the majority. I'd always prefer an honest ranki…

Gladly join either of them, for obvious reasons :p, but Madeleine seems to be more my type, so I'll vote for her :)
