Since its James Bond week at FerrariChat Vote for your top 4 1st- Golden Eye (loved the 355, bad girl, and Russian Tank) 2nd- Spy Who Loved me (loved the white Esprit, and Barbara Bach) 3rd- Casino Royale 1967 (enjoyed David Niven, Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress) 4th- Moonraker (I was a kid, it was a fun movie)
Fixed a few titles, added only oversight - Never Say Never Again [shame, shame, shame on you Marcus!]
Thanks, I need all the help I can get! Never Say Never Again (1983), starring Sean Connery, remake of Thunderball. That was the movie that wasn't officially a Bond Movie? Something...something about fighting over the rights? The one thing I remember, was how much it really hurt the film to NOT have the official Bond Music. It changed the entire feel of the film.
That was directly connected to Thunderball and the rights to Casino Royale, which, as you know, in it's original film incarnation was a spoof... even Spider-Man was involved. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond_film_series#Non-EON_films We had a half-dozen early 007 soundtracks on reel-to-reel, and I assure you, it was fantastic background music to play Spy by...
I voted Dr. No, Goldfinger, The Spy Who Loved Me (my favorite), and Goldeneye. I really like all of the Roger Moore movies the best but tried to spread things out.
From Russia With Love (the best story of all the films) Goldfinger Thunderball Casino Royale '06 Anything with Roger Moore was unwatchable in its awfulness, IMO. Props to Timothy Dalton (The Living Daylights?)....I thought he played the part pretty well. Neil
For some reason, I don't expect "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" with George Lazenby to garner the most votes.... Mike in Kuwait
Brosnan and Craig play Bond well but Connery is Bond. Live and let die best of the books and Thunderball best movie IMO. Actually like On her Majesty and would rank it above any of the roger moore films..Diana Rigg is awesome.
goldfinger goldeneye license to kill casino royale (new) that's how i voted, they're in no particular order.
lol! i've got that game, i still haven't been able to beat the antenna cradle level after like 2 years of trying
Despite the blocky graphics that's still a great game. a link to walkthru and cheat codes that may help: http://www.gamespot.com/n64/action/goldeneye007/hints.html
Here is what I went for - Casino Royale 2006 GoldenEye The Man With the Golden Gun License to Kill After That - Quantum of Solace. Only because it is a Sequel to Casino Royale. There are several Bond films that I still haven't seen yet. I guess I'm gonna have to watch them all to see which ones that I haven't seen are better that the ones that I have seen.
IMO Lazenby was awful... but the story was great, and very necessary to 'understanding' Bond as a character. Because of this thead, the wife and I pulled out "Never Say Never Again" and watched it tonight... we have all the movies on DVD except for the latest one...and it had been ages since we watched that one... I enjoyed it... a lot! Mike in Kuwait
1) Goldfinger - just everything a great Bond movie should be... come on 'miss ******* galore', Oddjob, the Aston, the road outside Zurich - it doesn't get any better! 2) Dr. No. - Where it all started... great plot too with the introduction of Spectre and the whole undersea base 3) Casino Royale '06 - the return to what Bond is supposed to be all about and Danile Craig, the most worthy Bond since Connery 4) The Spy Who Loved Me - Barbara Bach, that says it all. Plus it has Jaws in it, as any good Bond movie should Honorable mention to The Living Daylights... the Aston was cool, Dalton was actually a pretty good Bond, the story wasn't too bad. Honorable mention to Thunderball, arguably better than Dr. No IMO, everything between Goldeneye and prior to Casino Royale was sort of too flashy... too much special effects, too many gadgets.
