  • I think Fields could have been (and was probably meant to be) a delightful throwback to the classic 60s naughty English Bond girl. She's an appealing fairly likeable woman and certainly needed a bigger part. I'm for sure in agreement with you, B…
  • I think it should have been Fields as the main Bond girl as opposed to her being the three minute side-quest. I found her (albeit in her very small screen time) to be far more interesting than the Camille character. Nothing against Olga Kurylenko; s…
  • I'll give it to Tomorrow Never Dies. The scene in the car with M is a pretty good one, me thinks.
  • http://screenmusings.org/TheSpyWhoLovedMe/pages/007tSWLM_0186.htm "Darling, forgive me for being forward but the naked chap on top looks a damn lot like me..."
  • Naturally Die Another Day is Pierce Brosnan's worst. The horrible CGI, David Arnold's techno headache of a score, an AWFUL script and Halle Berry (emphasis added). Halle Berry, to me, will likely always be the worst Bond girl in the history of fil…
  • Leave everything in its originality. Leave the Dr. No green screens, the DAF missiles, the DAD parasailing, the horrible TMWTGG whistle and everything else alone... Restoration is one thing, but when you start fixing things and adding things (a la …
  • Maybe, Dimi, we could agree Robert Harris (Ghost Writer author) should write a Bond script in the future ? ;;) He's a fantastic thriller author. I loved the work he did on 'Archangel', made into a BBC miniseries with Daniel Craig. Picked up Archa…
  • I'm going to give it to On Her Majesty's Secret Service! The wedding scene seals the deal.
  • The Spy Who Loved Me, I actually like the gag with Roger dropping the fish out of the car, too. -------- The Bondola in Moonraker was an embarrassment, and I believe 'the man with the bottle' is in For Your Eyes Only for a total of 5 frames of film.
  • Diamonds Are Forever. There isn't even a competition for me, here. Right when I saw the title of this thread I thought, "Oh, DAF." The entire film (Connery included) spoofs itself; as a matter of fact I don't believe the film takes itself seriously…
  • There have been some great fights over the course of the Bond films, my top three favorites are: - Bond vs. Grant in From Russia With Love - Bond vs. Necros in The Living Daylights - Bond vs. 006 in GoldenEye But there are many other great fights.…
  • I'll go with Tomorrow Never Dies...like Smythe said, there is no trust talk and stuff like that. It actually seems like they are working together in that film!
  • I'm going to go with License to Kill for the simple reason that he got a much heftier role than his previous outings. But we could always count on Desmond Llewelyn to give us a great Q scene no matter the length!
  • Okay, now it's time to do mine after starting this thread and not posting a proper list! Dr. No - Connery From Russia With Love - Spy Goldfinger - Classic Thunderball - Solid You Only Live Twice - Bloated On Her Majesty's Secret Service - Wife Diam…
  • I'm going to go with The Spy Who Loved Me. The scene where Gogol tells XXX about her boyfriend's death is pretty well done.
  • @SJK91 As for more traditional films - MR, DAF, YOLT, TMWTGG, TB !! Those are the best !! Strange that three of those films you mentioned (MR, DAF and TMWTGG) are in my bottom five Bond films with The Man with the Golden Gun being my absolute lea…
  • I'm going with the flow and saying On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I always got a kick when Bond says, "Unusually small for a [scientific butterfly name]", and M just slowly looks up and Bond. Very nice.
  • Well IMO, it means EON hasn't been arsed to find another cool looking car for the last 4 films, and keeps playing it safe with the same car over and over again... @SJK91 They did have that multi-picture deal with Ford...I'm not sure if Aston Marti…
  • I somehow also have a feeling that Bond 23 is going to be a departure from the first two Craig films.... @SJK91 and @Creasy47 I am not doubting that B23 will be a departure from the last 2 Bond films... I am merely trying to understand the people…
  • But the Bond series getting stale because he's driving Aston Martins? Come on DaltonCraig! I know you have better arguments than that!!!!! ;-) That's not the problem... The problem is that all the Aston Martin's of the last 10 years look IDENTICA…
  • I somehow also have a feeling that Bond 23 is going to be a departure from the first two Craig films....
  • I think I kind of agree with DaltonCraig, here :O We've had two drawn out foot chases in two consecutive films. (CR's was better) We don't REALLY need another one, or at least another extended one. A 20 second foot chase? Alright. I'd like to se…
  • Aston Martin DBS Update Coming Late 2012 http://www.themotorreport.com.au/52115/aston-martin-dbs-update-coming-late-2012-report I think we have our car. -1 point for B23... 4 consecutive movies where the car looks the same... Ugh the series is g…
  • It has to be that new 2013 DBS mentioned above...the stars have definitely aligned for that ;-)
  • MR is Moore's TB and TB is my favorite Bond film so that's quite a large compliment from me. i guess if you took everything that was great about TB, and took a big dumb dump on it - i guess it would be a lot like Thunderball :-)) lol... no offe…
  • for me, the biggest issue is that it's The Spy Who Loved Me v.2 ..... or better yet - Moonraker was to The Spy Who Loved Me, as Windows Vista was to Windows XP..... it took everything that was good and great about TSWLM, and tried to make it bigger …
  • had EON not cop'd out, and did FYEO like was originally planned in '79, and maybe did MR later - i think it could've been a much better film than what it turned out to be... for me, it has a decent opening, and middle, but falls apart at the end li…
  • @SJK91: I see what you mean about the first halves being better than the second. It's as if the movie decided to play it dark and serious for the first half, and then play it light and fun for the kids the second half. I don't recall that so-called …
  • I do love Casino Royale and genuinely like Quantum of Solace, but perhaps there is a part of me yearning for another PROPER 'Goldfinger' type, escapist adventure. I feel that Die Another Day was trying to claim itself as the James Bond that had ex…
  • The karate fight in TMWTGG with the little girls... Hilarious scene with a brilliant Sir Rog !! Also the slide-whistle scene... Hilariously brilliant !! Heck, the whole film is brilliant !! DaltonCraig, you and I are two very different people! :-|…
