Do you like DAF? @birdleson
Did you just put DAF and TB in the same sentence ???.
I wouldnt attack TB .....grrrrr
With 4 Connery, 2 Craig, 1 Dalton, Lazenby, Brosnan, Moore movie it features all 6 Bond actors and rightfully so.
Personally I have all 6 actors in my Top 7, before SP even in my Top 6:
1. GE / 2. TLD / 3. OHMSS / 4. CR / 5. OP / 6. GF
I actually think TB is the best conclusion to the Terence Young trilogy. Watch DN-FRWL-TB in a marathon and you know what I mean :-). TB boring? I loved it.
Yeah, TB is a real snore. I-)
Before this poll I would never have dreamt that TLD (which I like, btw) ends up higher than TB! Thought TB would be one of the most appreciated Connery titles right next to GF and FRWL. Never realized so many rate it as mixed.
Stolen Nukes sound nice on paper but in TB it doesn't really make one nervous.
The best thing about TB is Connery's acting, the villainous Bond girl, and most of all the score.
The underwater battle is technically brilliant but it just isn't very exciting. After all the underwater scenes you have already got by then it is just one of them too much.
Having said all this TB still is one of the best films of the 60s of course, also outside of Bond.
But when you have 24 gems to rank, one or two will fall back. TB is one of them.
Last time I watched TSWLM I stopped it at the middle - never happened to TB or GF actually. But maybe it's also nostalgia mixed in here since I watched GF and TB so often in my teenage years and not the Moore films.
To be honest it was in my Top 5 during my first years as Bond fan.
As I keep track of all my lists here is my ranking circa 1990.
1. TLD
2. OP
3. MR
4. TB
5. OHMSS
As for the 60s there is of course only ONE movie that gets the top spot, without a doubt, 100% a clear case if there ever was one and that's ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.
That one demolished YOLT, TB, GF, FRWL and DN all in one.
Still hoping for OHMSS to top the list here, but it will be a battle I reckon between it , CR and FRWL! Two of my most over-rated Bonds, TSWLM and GE, unfortunately are gonna be here in the top ten! Disappointing!
I know the same is true for Skyfall even if it is at the bottom of my ranking.
As for TSWLM, I'm always torn between finding it a true classic or one big cheese fest.
But in the end I recognise it's importance and that it has re-invented the franchise, it's utterly iconic really.
A Top 10 spot is deserved. Even if I have it at spot 15 in my personal ranking.
Listen to Thundy.
In the end, I consider TSWLM and MR to be YOLT's inferior little brothers.
Or Bond can fumble around with a thick as shit Kara or get caught caught and put his feet up in a cell....enough said...2 films that are seriously over-rated against a genuine Bond film in TB....
To have TB at 10 is a travesty imho. It's one of the most lush Bond films, with Connery on fire in his last Terence Young outing (those who claim he's bored are suffering from delusions imho), incredibly beautiful women, outstanding dialogue (the likes of which we've not seen since sadly) and the first high stakes world domination plot.
Credibility is somewhat shot in my view with this, but let's see how it goes. Perhaps FRWL will be on top to redeem things.
