    Well my Craig Bond double feature has come to a close for tonight.

    SPECTRE remains reasonably low in my rankings. It's really the extremely slow pacing of the second half that does it. The 3rd act is ridiculously slow.

    I ignored the foster brother bit, and that helped slightly.

    SP gets weaker in some ways and better in a couple for me on my rewatches. Overall though definitely belong near the bottom of my ranking as well. Quite easily Craig’s weakest for my taste.

    I found QUANTUM OF SOLACE far more enjoyable when I watched it the other day.

    Same here. When I first saw SP I put it above QOS, now QOS blows SP out of the water for me. CR and SF are my respectively my Top 2 Craig films still.

    I find it quite fun watching an earlier Bond ,to view it as I did when I was a kid. Some of the Bonds, like TB I didn't appreciate as much until i was a couple years older, but DN, GF, and OP I especially loved.

    I agree with DN and GF, but I was 20 when I saw OP, so I never had that experience with it.

    I had seen OP about a week or so after a television airing of DN, which had gotten me hooked on Bond. It was also the first VHS film my Dad bought for me, so I always had a soft spot for it.

    LIVE AND LET DIE

    One of my fave gunbarrel scores.

    Bond shoots slightly to the side implying the gunshot goes to the chest rather than the face.

    That's my interpretation of it anyway.

    The voodoo opening bit.

    An underrated PTS IMO.

    And possibly my favorite title sequence in the series.

    Sorry, but to me with the exception of maybe CR, none of the later film's titles compare.

    I remember the CBS/Fox VHS version was squeezed here.

    I love Roger's flat. However, Sean's place of the 3 Bond's we've seen is my favorite.

    Roger's hair is tapered at the neck. In all the other film's it's longer and blocked.

    I love LALD's simplicity in plot and script. Style all the way.

    Tee-Hee is great. Always been a favorite henchman of mine.

    Bond goes into the voodoo shop.

    I always say "Just browsing, thank you" when a clerk in a retail store approaches me.

    The legend that is Arnold Williams!. I'd love to see him interviewed some day.
    Anyone know what ever became of him?

    So many great lines in this film.

    RELAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!

    That's later on.

    Yeah, I prefer the tapered look, it makes you appear more youthful. Roger's hair was the best here, and decent up until/and including TSWLM. After that, the back looked like a duck's butt :))
