I posted a little about this when I first joined in another topic. I think Bond has to change with the times to keep its place in pop cultural. Every era of human history has been marked by one struggle or another. The true brilliance of Bond and Fl…

I really do like the backgammon confrontation with Kamal. To me, its the preeminent Moore repartee. He is showcasing the classic cool wit that ranks among the best of Connery (or Bond in general) in that scene. It's all in the wrist.

I'm on board with a casino elimination game! Also, I'd like to echo the sentiment to include M and Bond interrogating Mr. White from QoS. Can't believe I forgot that one -- it's one of the best. If that scene didn't exist, QoS would be so much wo…

This one should be included. The conversation is noteworthy for flipping Jaws' allegiance.

Spectre is an interesting case. I think the official theatrical trailer is slightly lackluster (compared to CR and SF for the full theatrical version), but that's only because the hype from the teaser was ridiculous. The two kind of balance each oth…

I don't know how that game could possibly not include either the laser confrontation in Goldfinger or the dialogue over the card game in Casino Royale. Things like "You changed your shirt, Mr. Bond. I hope our little game isn't causing you to perspi…

This will sound like lunacy, but I just realized watching TSWLM yesterday that Robert Brown played Admiral Hargreaves, which is essentially the introduction of Bernard Lee's successor as M. I don't know how that's even possible, but it's true... ...…

Oddly enough, I find the score in the FYEO chase to be very appropriate. I hold great fondness for that scene and the ski chase in that film, including the music. It adds so much life that isn't hollowly dramatic. Since these 2 are so close for m…

@vzok LTK does have the best stunts out of these three. If a chase was only composed of stunt work, I would give it my vote. You make a good point about it being the climax. I'm not sure how everyone else feels about the Bond climaxes, but I thin…

LTK is a good chase, but not the best in my eyes. It drags on for too long. You can have the best stunts in the world, but unless it's shot and cut to keep you mesmerized, it's going to remove excitement. The airport set piece in CR has a similar ef…

I like all of the remaining trailers a lot. Good job everyone. This is probably a good time to repost the trailers. I'm going to watch them again.

I don't view FYEO as the serious adventure that it seems to have a reputation for. My perspective on it is that it is a soft joy ride. The action is some of the best in the franchise with the exception of Roger doing the stair climber, which is luck…

I agree that the chases in TND got shafted, whether fairly or not is up for debate. They have a lot more flow and energy than titles above them in the list. I love TLD and TSWLM (both are in my upper half), but those cases are lightweights. TSWLM…
