Many things here I agree with: Koskov dying at the airfield, no John Terry, no Kamran and co. bursting in on the performance at the end, no/reconceptualized jailhouse fight, and some tweaking is in order for the Kara character. Birdleson wrote: …

I enjoy the fact that he's always played by someone different. I know the Craig era has been more conscious of continuity, but if Blofeld is back in Bond 25 I'm all for ousting Waltz and bringing someone else in. Wouldn't bother me a bit.
-
Tangential thought: if Eon had filmed the novels faithfully and in the proper order back in the same time period, then sticking with the same actors I would tweak the casting: Gray as Blofeld in TB, Pleasence as Blofeld in OHMSS, and Savalas as Blof…

Just too many good ones in this franchise, @ToTheRight!

It's a blast. Such a rewatchable film. And perhaps the best dialogue in the series. TB is its only competition. Maybe LALD.

FRWL remains a top ten for me, but oddly I seem to enjoy it least of all the 60s entries. Those last two action sequences are just a bit much for me. I'd much rather the film had stuck closer to the book in that regard. But everything till then is r…

I don't want to speak for anyone else, as I completely understand why DAF might end up so low, but it shot up in my own rankings when I started looking at it as a unique, one-off take on the series and stopped looking at it as a failed attempt at on…

Bonds 25 - 30 are all tied #1 at the moment. After that things get hazy. Might even have to wait till tomorrow to rank Bonds 31 through REVENGE OF MRS BELL.

Double helping of 60s Bond, please. YOLT - A sumptuous feast from Gilbert, Adam, Barry, and co. GF - Always at or near the top.

@CraigMooreOHMSS Ah, those images! The treat waiting at the end of the many posts over the past couple days I had to catch up on in this thread. A beautiful film. My favorite-looking of the Craig era.

I like it @Birdleson! Good job balancing the maturity of the character with the little touches that make certain films flow well together.

Here's a change, inspired by: octofinger wrote: » -Sneaking up on someone in a blimp is the height of ridiculousness. - Add a sound effect in post to make it clear Stacey's ears are ringing from the explosion.
