Interesting that you say that. I recently watched all the Connery films and the Lazenby film for the first time and was mostly unimpressed. I think the one I enjoyed the most was You Only Live Twice. Goldfinger wasn't bad and I was surprised that I liked the Lazenby film as much as I did, up until the stupid ending. Confused 

Actually, my favorite moment from watching them all was seeing where the Simpsons's writers got the ideas for Hank Scorpio. LOL

I have never watched an entire James Bond movie in my life.
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Hi,

Was not quite a fan of these, and always thought that it was just another studio hype thing, and since they had the best money, they could buy anyone they wanted for their films.

Some very nice looking women in the films, but honestly, I didn't think they made the films any better, and too much of the filming (it was the 60's that started it!) was filmed with that keyhole mentality about the women in their skimpy outfits ... something that is a part of the history of films, but even Playboy mentioning it in their yearly thing on movies and sex, it never left ... 

Most actors were boring and not worthy of a mention. I can only remember one exception. CHRISTOPHER LEE ... was worth watching every minute of it ... 
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Thunderball, owner of one of the best movie lines ever: Largo (the great Adolfo Celi) walks around the shark infested pool with a shotgun and asks Bond (Connery) : " So what do you think of this rifle?" to which Sean answers "Itch a womange Riffoh" (it is a woman's rifle). Celi: "I see you know a lot about guns". Connery: "No, I know a lot about women" . Sexist but funnyConfused

.....And Daniel Craig makes a perfect killer as James Bond - probably the most ruthless killer of all the Bonds. He was very good in "Munich" too, where he also played a ruthless killer. Smile

That's a tough one...I like all the early Connery films....but Goldfinger is my favorite with him.
And then to be honest I'm a big fan of Craig.....I think Skyfall is simply a killer film.

Considering some the 'Bond' dreck that came after this one, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was a considerably decent James Bond film.  I liked it.

For one moment there, I thought you meant Diana Rigg was deceased, but thankfully, she's still with us.

I thought Javier Bardem was much better as a villain in "No Country For Old Men"

Recently rewatched Specter and it's rather good.   QoS on the other hand I can't remember anything about Confused.

One of them have Roald Dahl on screenplay/play wright, fun fact.


Roald Dahl was friends with Ian Fleming, the lyricist for "You Only Live Twice", Leslie Bricusse, was a very good friend of my dad.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

He charges a million a shot...

Who will he bang?

I only changed the word gun there in the song lyrics. The innuendo worked a little better in the song when it was still gun methinks.
