    Some folks complain about Laz looking all scared when he bumps into the guy in the polar Bear outfit. But I think it makes his relief at seeing Tracy all the more real.

    OMG! I just love Diana Rigg here.

    Right??? The stop, the pan up from the skates, her warm face in a cold setting to ensure Bond's safety. Just perfection!

    I think Connery in The MOLLY MAGUIRES in '69 looks trimmer than he did in YOLT or DAF.
    He might have rocked the ski suit after all.

    @Dwayne , do you ever go to Joe's Pizza? It's what I miss most about New York. I think about it all of the time. You can't get decent pizza in CA.

    Even in NYC, good Pizza can be hit or miss.

    Love the shot of the windshield wipers slowly stoping from working because of the force and amount of snow piling up.

    I really like the soft focus here, Tracy's face looks like it's practically glowing.

    Lovely scene. And despite his lack of acting experience, Laz plays the marriage proposal scene perfectly. Although in all fairness – Diana Rigg??!!!

    One of my favorite scenes in the series.

    I don't think there's another film in the series that uses the time of day quite as useful and effective as OHMSS. We get shots at dawn, dusk, dead of night, crack of sunrise, midday, etc.

    It helps ground you more in the movie knowing what time of day you're in constantly.

    Use the inflatable vest!! Note closely please, pockets, poppers, and zipper.

    Did everyone die?

    Hah, still here! Needed a quick top off on my drink to take me through the rest of the film :)

    Broken record here, but Diana Rigg is superb in this scene with Blofeld. As much as I’ve like some of the recent Bond films, I miss the “climatic assault on the villain’s lair” finals.

    Great chemistry between Diana Rigg and Telly.

    I miss those scenes, too.

    Not quite! It was at one point, but not it's in the 7-8 range. I'm definitely in the minority among the more hardcore Bond fans though.

    Tracy kicking some ass here. She really does do it all.

    Tracy is definitely in my top 5 all time favorite Bond girls.

    If you mean where Bond is leading an army, yes, I really miss that. Ever since the RAMBO-influenced Brosnan years, that has been replaced with the tedious "One Man against an Army" thing. That is completely un-Bond to me. He's a Commander.

    Well said. I couldn't agree more.

    Well she is really Mrs. Emma Peel.

    Draco is a great character. One of my favorite allies in the series. Right behind Kerim Bey.

    Will we see Craig in a bobsled in NTTD?

    I'd love to see another bobsled sequence, actually. This is quite exciting.

    That's one of the best stunt explosions of the series. It really looks like the stunt bobsled guy nearly gets blown to pieces.

    I love Blofeld pressing Bond's head against the ice.

    Yes! It sounds so painful. Like someone taking metal against a sandbelt.

    OHMSS is currently #1 for me, but it goes back and forth sometimes (1-5).
