I am watching every Bond movie: please kill me (3 Viewers)

[Christo]

Connery is the best. But Moore is my favorite because he's who defined Bond for me. The Spy Who Loved Me was the first I saw and I probably didn't see any of Connery's until after I'd seen the rest of Moore's. Never Say Never Again was probably the first Connery I saw.

 

[Capella]

A 10-minute scene where Bond sits at the dinner table talking about genealogy while we watch a dozen women strangely eat is about as weird as it gets.

 

[Capella]

I wish I had your ambition to rewatch. They all pretty much run together for me.

There's probably about 10 I haven't seen. Including the next one. Thinking of throwing it in instead of this god-awful nfl game.

You've never seen OHMSS? It's probably the best Bond movie- Lazenby doesn't do the funny/campy Bond that Moore and Connery did. If anything, it's a more modern Bond movie than one would expect.

Looking forward to it.

Telly Savalas is kind of an odd casting choice for Blofeld but he makes it work.

Keep expecting him to say who loves ya baby to Bond.

 

[Eephus]

A 10-minute scene where Bond sits at the dinner table talking about genealogy while we watch a dozen women strangely eat is about as weird as it gets.

The dubbing of the genealogist's voice adds to the weirdness. If you listen back to the scene wherethe real genealogist briefs Bond, it's the same voice that Bond uses with Blofeld before his cover is blown.

Now that's crazy. I thought he sounded different but just assumed it was because I am not familiar with Lazenby.

 

[Capella]

Why doesn't Blofield recognize him at first? Is this like a superman thing where he puts on glasses and he's a totally different guy?

Nobody recognizes George Lazenby

 

[Capella]

I don't understand why these ####ing villains just don't kill Bond already. This is like the 15th time they've had a chance to kill him and they just make him a drink or put him in a cozy room or hand him a gun to do some skeet shooting. These villains are terrible at what they do.

 

[Capella]

"Oh Mr. Bond I'll be back to kill you later. Martini?"

THAT NEVER WORKS

Moore will always be my favorite with For Your Eyes Only my favorite movie. Huge player in my young introduction in cable TV.

 

[Capella]

Holy #### that guy just punched out his own daughter.

Whoa that ending.

That was.........unexpected.

Why do you hate poorly written spy movies?

I guess you also dislike Taken 1 and 2, Shooter, Rambo, and most of the other me against the world movies where one guy seemingly takes out like hundreds of dudes in route to a huge upset.

You should probably quit watching now... Pierce Brosnan really pulls off some redonkulous escapes later on in the series

I also think Goldeneye was probably my favorite Bond movie.

I hate none of this. It's just ridiculous and awesome. Like when in OHMSS Bond and Kojak Bloefield are fighting on the speeding bobsled at the end of the movie and Bond throws Kojak off into a tree...as his bobsled veers out of control he mutters he branched off.

[Capella]

BOND POWER RANKINGS SO FAR:

1. From Russia

2. Goldfiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinger (he's just too much!)

3. Dr. No

4. You Only Live Twice

5. Thunderball

6. On Her Majesty's Secret Service

I didn't dislike this one. Just didn't like it more than any Connery movie. Another weird, sudden ending and while Lazenby was fine I think knowing he was only in this one prevented me from fully buying in. Like when a left-handed specialist comes in to face a lefty hitter...you know that's his only batter. Except Lazenby wasn't really a specialist.

Anyways...Diamonds are Forever is next and I fully expect to see ol' boy mail this one in.

Also when this one ended my wife said in an exasperated tone how many of these are left and I told her 17 plus one more that is not canon that we are going to still watch and I'm pretty sure she started googling local divorce lawyers.

 

[James Bond]

I rank them:

Connery

Brosnan

Craig

Moore

Dalton

Lazenby

Barry Nelson (few people remember that he was the original Bond, before the popular movies)

David Niven (from the original Casino Royal)

I also think "From Russia with Love" was probably my favorite Bond movie.

Someone who foolishly thought Lazenby could pull off a Connery quip.

 

[worrierking]

The IMDB rankings are not bad.

I like From Russia with Love best overall.

I personally like Diamonds are Forever a lot, as it has some of the best humor and the whole things is done without a shred of seriousness. It's preposterous from start to finish and they never pretend it has any serious ambitions.

Only The Spy Who Loved me is any good in the Roger Moore era, although there are things to like in each movie.

The Living Daylights is underrated.

License to Kill is my least favorite of them all. I also dislike A View to a Kill.

 

[Ilov80s]

A View has a great Duran Duran song and the cool skiing Beach Boys scene but that is about it.

Roger Moore made 7 007 movies. I like Moore more than some others in this thread but watching him back to back to back to back to back to back to back could be the end of you.

I refuse to watch them out of order. Did Bond not screw all those women to further the case? Did he not drink all that richly expensive alcohol because uhhh...it was there? We all make sacrifices in this life.

I couldn't watch tonight because my wife told me I watched 16 hours of football and 7 of Bond this weekend so she is commandeering the TV and likely our bank accounts if I keep it up.

Very un-Bond like IMO.

 

[Flying V]

I didn't even start watching Bond films until Roger Moore became 007, and that's only because I liked him in The Saint series. When I decided to check out the older Connery films, it took awhile for him to grow on me. He seemed to take himself much more seriously. There is no bad Bond. They're all good in their own way.

 

[Ilov80s]

Might want to watch Notorious and North by Northwest. They are basically the original Bond movies and the inspiration behind the whole thing.

 

[ConstruxBoy]

For me, Connery was the best, followed by Craig. Then a tier of Dalton and Moore. I like Moore better than most. He was campy, but my favorite is when he got serious in For Your Eyes Only. That movie is seriously underrated. Didn't like OHMSS at all and I think Brosnan is very overrated. I know that everyone thinks he "should" have been a great Bond, but I think he blows it. The movies are pretty ridiculous as well. Craig has saved the franchise, in my opinion. I also like QOS better than most people, although it's clearly the worst of the three Craigs.

 

[Eephus]

Hitchcock Schmitchcock. The utter lack of poison shoes, flying cars and hollowed out volcanoes in those films belies a definite lack of ambition.

The crop duster scene was the inspiration for the helicopter chase scene in From Russia With Love. And Grant was the first choice to play Bond.

I can't find much with the Timothy Dalton Bond. First Bond to not hook up.. he was doomed from the start

On to Diamonds

Holy #### they aren't even trying with these Blofield's anymore. This guy looks like my dad.

 

[Capella]

"Hi I'm Plenty!

(Stares at ####) Yes of course you are.

Plenty O'Toole!

Named after your father I suppose?"

 

[Eephus]

Somewhere around this time, the writers decided Bond needed to be a pedantic know-it-all. He was always sharp and self assured in the books and early films and Fleming loved padding his word count with brand names and trivial details, but early 70s 007 took this to another level. His constant corrections about the temperature or vintage of wines and such makes him seem like kind of a #### too me, especially when he's doing so while wearing ridiculous 70s fashions.

(Stares at ####) Yes of course you are.

I'm obsessed with her.

My wife is starting to punt. When get buried Bond in the water pipes: "they had to solder those pipes together. Nobody noticed the man laying there. With the fresh untouched carnation on his jacket?"

Why did Bambi do a cartwheel when she said hello to Bond?
