Favourite Bond Film?

[Grimwell]

This thread is broken.

Where the subject says "Film" it should say "Woman"

Fix thread please.

[Bunk]

Goldeneye then. Both of them. At once.

[ahoythematey]

I agree.  Izabella Scorupco is the only reason I watched Vertical Limit, and Famke Janssen can break me whenever she'd like.

[stray]

Not to say she isn't always hot (she is), but she was damn near perfect in that.

[Xerapis]

Hmm...I always loved The Man with the Golden Gun.

In spite of the comedy, and solely because of Christopher Lee as Scaramanga.

I have to say that I LIKE the gadgets in Bond movies. But like all things, they have to be done in moderation and with some bit respect to the moviegoer.  Thats one reason why I never liked Die Another Day - Akira death ray satellites I can take, but invisible cars is just making fun of us. Moonraker was just plain stupid - James Bond in space...

Sean Connery: You Only live Twice
Connery did several gadget heavy Bond movies, but IMHO - if done right as in here, it is a classic. Rappelling down the mouth of a disguised volcano serving as a launchpad for space capsule eating rockets - WINNER.

Roger Moore: The Spy Who Loved Me
Submarine convertible Lotus Espirit and supertankers that eat SSBNs. The only Moore Bond movie that i can stomach to any real extent.

Pierce Brosnan: Tomorrow Never Dies
Michelle Yeoh.

Matt Damon: The Bourne Identity
Huh...
Could sworn that the last two Bond movies actually featured Jason Bourne...
Since Quantum of Solace is a big hit, the next Bond movie will actually feature more of the grim n' gritty tough guy riff. Mores the pity because thats just not "James Bond" anymore. No more gadgets, no more Q, no more suave agent with the girls - just glum, depressive and almost suicidal Daniel Craig. Craig's Bond does not enjoy being James Bond - and that IMHO puts him far below all the other Bonds (except maybe David Niven).

PS:
Quantum as the new ongoing supervillain criminal organization? Bah! Why can't they resurrect SPECTRE!?

PPS: Yeah, I know SPECTRE is tied up with the whole Thunderball/McClory lawsuit - pity.

i think bond was closer to craig's gruff moodiness in the books.. or so i hear.

Where's the Thanksgiving weekend Bond marathon here in the states? A quick scan through the channels reveals nothing.  I'm starting to get nervous, very nervous.

Last night it was on sci-Fi of all places.  Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough.   It seems that Spike isn't running it anymore.

Of course, today they're running Mork & Mindy all day, and tomorrow is a Stephen King movie marathon.. so yeah, looks like no Bond marathon at all this year.

Spy Who Loved Me was my first one and will always be high on the list, but From Russia With Love is my favorite: good gadgets, good villain, good naive hot bond girl. I thought Brosnan was going to mark a huge revival in Bond movies with Goldeneye, but we all agree on how that turned out, I see.

We should rank top ten and then score them like that MMO thread.  Does The Living Daylights make anyone's top ten? It wasn't bad and it had some great scenes but the package just didn't quite come together.

Worst Bond films? The World Is Not Enough and License to Kill. The latter was killed by horrible Bond girl.

[NowhereMan]

You shut your whore mouth!

[Rishathra]

Does The Living Daylights make anyone's top ten? It wasn't bad and it had some great scenes but the package just didn't quite come together.

It is definitely in mine.  I think Dalton made a good Bond but is generally reviled more because of the suckiness of License to Kill than for anything wrong with Living Daylights.  One of the better title songs, too.

[ahoythematey]

I liked The Living Daylights, it was actually one of the first bond movies I remember crushing over the bond girl.  I always thought it was kind of neat how they brought back Joe Don Baker as a Bond ally in Goldeneye after he played a main villain in The Living Daylights.  Makes me hope for a Daniel Craig-Sean Bean mashup at some point.

Fixing this thread.

The first Bond girl that ever stopped me in my tracks

Plenty O'Toole, from Diamonds are Forever:

[Ubvman]

I see your Fatima Blush and raise with Xenia Onatopp!


Also, IMO - the prettiest Bond Girl - Maryam D'Abo

[Grimwell]

I now approve of this thread.

[Nebu]

No Jane Seymore fans?  You all lose.

[Grand Design]

Apparently the programming director at Spike TV removed their head from their ass and the Bond (mini) marathon is back for Christmas!

Christmas Eve:

Thunderball
You Only Live Twice
Diamonds Are Forever
Never Say Never Again
Die Another Day

And for Christmas:

Dr. No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Die Another Day

 

[Pennilenko]

All of them.

I agree with this. I love them all.

Yes.
