See final post on page four.
I still don't get it and I've seen it more than enough times now. Bond films are very age specific. I grew up in the Brosnan era which is I hold him as my favourite. Likewise, when watching a Connery era film all I see is a bit of a rapey creep!

Not much love for Thunderball on here then? I thought it was one of the better ones.
Despite the DB5, Vulcan and Disco Volante, never warmed to it. Of all the Bond films to make a remake, they choose this one...

3, the twist jump from TMWTGG sans swanee whistle
They put so much effort in to actually perform that for real and then ruined it with the swanee whistle! That alone says everything about the Moore era films! Still one of my favourite films though.

The original cinematic release had it, some subsequent DVD editions have it removed.

I think the biggest question here is: Does anyone actually like Live And Let Die?
I put Casino Royale 1st as my favourite Bond film, I was stuck for what to put 2nd and 3rd because the rest are all pretty much the same level of average so I put LALD 2nd for Baron Samedi and Goldfinger 3rd for Gert Frobe.

I like Thunderball, what I don't get is the people who rate From Russia With Love as one of their favourites. To me there's nothing memorable at all about that film.
But, I also quite like Octopussy so that might say a lot about my taste in films!
Best baddie, best fight, one of the more realistic ones, gritty without being ridiculous. Great tension, cleverly written and executed, save for some silliness right at the end.But, I also quite like Octopussy so that might say a lot about my taste in films!
