Better yet, remake Golden Gun with Bardem as Francisco Scaramanga. |

Goldfinger, Thunderball, plus the with the Golden Gun: Perhaps Javier Bardem was chosen to play the villain (Raoul Silva) in Skyfall because of the Bondesque titled Golden Balls that he starred in in 1993.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Balls_(film) Better that than Fingerballs.... or Goldmember perhaps for that matter. Enjoyable, fun film, I thought (twas a good one to watch with my girlfriend), that has nothing to do with James Bond except that it shares Javier Bardem, and when I heard he was playing the villain I made that association.

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.

I've gone for that as well, it might have something to do with Jane Seymour.

I'm pretty sure there is another Bond poll in this section I've seen every Bond until Moore's last at least once, though TBH, I don't think I ever saw a Bond movie on the silver screen (only on TV, but some I saw 5 or 7 times).... I'm not sure I ever saw a full (in uts entirety) post-Moore Bond, though
It's also the funniest one, so it got my vote. I tend to prefer Connery's Bond, but Moore's version had a little je-ne-sais-quoi Hesitated between Russia, Twice, Diamonds (I used to hate it, but it's offbeatness makes it interesting) and Let Die Edited by Sean Trane - October 15 2019 at 02:17 |

EfNY is one of my favorite cult films, just a perfect early 80s low-budget action flick. " You touch me, he dies. If you're not in the air in thirty seconds, he dies. You come back in, he dies".   Edited by Atavachron - October 15 2019 at 01:22 |

Whenever I hear the Fantasy Island TV show mentioned, it reminds me of the song by Tight Fit. They were like a low budget version of Abba and the blonde singer even looks like Agnetha!
 Whenever I think of Tight Fit now, I'll be reminded of the tight fit of Sean Connery's costume in Zardoz, shown in Logan's avatar.  I loved the Diamonds Are Forever/Zardoz video.

You nailed it! I almost went for "You Only Live Twice" for its cool weaponry & special FX, but Goldfinger is THE classic!

"Ze plane! Ze plane!" (Nick "Tattoo" Nack).
Scaramanga's Island is like a fantasy island to me. Nick-nack : Monsieur, what'd you think? Bond : I've never killed a midget before. But, there can always be a first time. Nick-nack : Oh, monsieur. Posted this in another thread before making this poll, but can't resist: |

^ And a little TV show called Fantasy Island surely draws inspiration from it . Diamonds is such a strange Bond film "If God had wanted man to fly, Mister Wint..." "He would have given him wings, Mister Kidd." Edited by Atavachron - October 14 2019 at 20:29 |

^ Similar to me with Moonraker, although I saw it my my older brother at the cinema. It's such a fun story. When I was young, that and The Spy Who Loved Me were my favourites, then Connery became my favourite.... Now I can enjoy all of the Bonds including George Lazenby (he's not much of an actor, but On Her Majesty's Secret Service is one of my faves -- partially for Diana Rigg).
Love your choices. I've heard it disregarded, but The Man with the Golden Gun ranks amongst my very favourite Bond films. Christopher Lee is the man. Scaramanga: "A duel between titans. My third nipple against your Walther PPK." Bond: "What the f***?! One bullet against your three nipples?" Scaramanga: "I only need the third one, Mr. Bond". -------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry, just my little take on some well-known film dialogue. |

I haven't seen all Bond films so no vote. That being said my personal favorite is probably Moonraker since it the first one I ever saw and in the theater as a 9 year old with my family at that. THe one after it For your eyes only was very good too. I think at some point things started to go downhill but eventually picked up again with Pierce Brosnon(who is my favorite with possible exception of Sean Connery).

Escape from New York, on the other hand, is a fine film of its kind (fairly silly too). The other-the-top ridiculousness of that scene I actually don't mind, and Steve Buscemi is always a plus for me, but then I enjoy the silliness of the 60's Casino Royale comedy film. Even if it's not up there with the silly and campy Barbarella (1968). I probably thought of Jane Fonda's film because Peter Fonda is in that surfing scene.

After watching that silly surfing clip in Escape From L.A. I can see why the movie received such bad reviews at the time.

That is ridiclous and looks so bad. It reminds me of the sort of follow-up to Escape From New York (1981), Escape from L.A. (1996).
Give me good old alligator surfing any day: |

The thing that really put me off Die Another Day were the artificial CGI computer graphics, which had never been used in a Bond movie before. The sequence where James Bond (Pearce Brosnan) surfs on a tidal wave just looked totally ridiculous. Die Another Day was memorable for all the wrong reasons. |

^ Interesting, I love that Sellers/Niven/Allen film. Great fun, I thought -- the comedy works for me. I would have agreed on Die Another Day.
