Lemonade Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Inspired by the thread in the music discussion thread - you know the routine, whats your favourite and least favourite Bond films.My favourite of the old films is probably On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which although Lazenby was a bit shit, is an excellent film. Also, the first one I saw was The Man With Golden Gun so I always hold that one in high regard. On the rubbish side, I always found Thunderball a little bit boring and Live & Let Die is a little bit silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Dr No is my favourite. I think it has a cracking story and Ursula Andress is the perfect Bond girl.Moonraker is also fantastic purely for Hugo Drax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I'm trying to remember if I have actually seen them all, I think I may have skipped the last Pierce Brosnan one, and one of the Timothy Dalton ones. Also I think I switched off Octopussy halfway through.It's an English bank holiday today, so surely one of them will be on ITV about 5.30.

Lonz Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Man with the Golden Gun was always a favourite. Scaramanga would probably be my favourite Bond villain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Ive never seen either of the Dalton ones, saw part of one and just didnt take to him.My favourite Bond overall is Sean Connery, out of his films Ive always liked You Only Live Twice the most since I was a bairn, Donald Pleasance is the definitive Blofeld for me and it has the classic hollowed out volcano as evil genius base, plus Sean Connery as the least convincing Oriental since Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffanys but still gets away with it. From Russia With Love is ace as is Goldfinger. In fact I just like all his Bond films.Ive always liked On Her Majestys Secret Service as it has the best music and a good plot. As Lucky mentions, Lazenby is pants though, pity Connery never did that one. Ive always quite liked Live and Let Die and The Man With the Golden Gun for Roger Moore, his films got increasingly stupid and less satisfying as he got older.Pierce Brosnan started off well in Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies suffered from a crap plot, The World is Not Enough was better but Die Another Day was pretty cack. Invisible cars? Away min.Daniel Craig has been good so far, although Quantuum of Solace was a bit disappointing in comparison to Casino Royale.

DJ Jo-D Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Sean C's my fave!!I really quite liked Daniel Craig as bond, definitely has the sex appeal needed. Unlike Brosnan his films were just crappy explosive hollywood dick cheese! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Brosnan his films were just crappy explosive hollywood dick cheese!Truth. Whereas the Connery ones were mostly just him and a gun (with a couple of nifty gadgets) the Brosnan ones became much more about special effects and product placement that they basically became a 2 hour long advert for Nokia and BMW with shitloads of explosions. The series badly needed a reboot I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Seems like Octopussy isn't very popular, I actually really liked that one. I think Goldfinger is my favourite Connery film.I really liked Goldeneye, but I hate all the other Bronsnan films, completely terrible.Casino Royale was great, I haven't seen Quantum of Solace yet.

Tigerfrommars Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 favourites: From Russia With Love, On her Majesties Secret Service.Worst: Tomorrow Never Dies.Dalton and Craig's performances are the closest to the bond that Flemming wrote about in the books.The Best Books are From Russia With Love , Live and Let Die and Thunderball.Has anyone noticed that Bruce Lee's Enter The Dragon rips off Dr No's plot.
