  • Layer Cake Watching Daniel Craig in this you can really see how it helped him get the Bond gig. His confident swagger and stylish look just oozes 007. This is such a great film in its own right though. Classy adaptation of the novel 👍
  • Bit late, but GF is his best performance. Just the coolest man alive at that time. Drama, comic timing and physicality. Just perfection 👍
  • Goldfinger Simply the best. Connery is so cool in this. Look up 'Iconic' in the dictionary and it should have the Goldfinger poster next to the description 😁 A film I have seen an unhealthy amount of times that still surprises me. First …
  • The Invisible Man (2020) Really impressed with this, but then expected no less from the director of the excellent Upgrade Using clever camerawork and suggestion, this is a really effective exploration of an unseen threat. Gripping from the ope…

  • Gutted. What a true legend. An actor who was a joy to watch. Brought James Bond to life in a clever and effortless fashion. Thanks for all the great films, Sean.
  • John Carpenter's The Fog Not one of his best film's but a cool little ghost story nevetheless. After a moody beginning i forgot how slow this film is. Seems to take ages to get to the actual fog moving in, but once it does and the rather physi…

  • Tron Legacy Hideously underrated film. A sequel that explores and expands the original films ideas and themes. I think the story is well done without being a rehash of the original. Looks amazing and that Daft Punk score... amazing!!!

  • The guy knew Bond, and his music demonstrated that. Would love to see him come back.
