    That very first teaser poster that was released of Bond at the poker table, gun near him, is one of my all time favourite Bond posters!

    The Brother from Langley bails Bond out.
    Delighted to see Jeffrey Wrights Felix Leiter back in NTTD! Missed him in the last 2 movies!

    Bond gets poisoned.
    Never really liked this section, the only weak point in the movie for me!

    Monsieur Bond wins!
    "Congratulations" in my best Vesper voice

    This is another great exchange between Bond and Vesper.
    Presume its Paul Haggis writing here?

    The record breaking car roll!
    I wonder has it been beaten since?

    Torture sequence!
    Again brave of them to stage it straight from the book! The production designs for this scene really matched here.

    I can think of better ways to scratch an itch!

    Campbell must have studied Sergio Leone, for that massive close up of Bonds eyes!

    Campbell stages another beach scene!
    Not as cringey as the one in GE!

    Have often wondered had they started the series with Connery in CR, what would it have been like?

    Bond pursues Vesper,
    Campbell has Vesper wear red just like the little girl in 'Dont Look Now!'

    The Venice building sinking.
    A lot of people think this climax is overblown, but it is well staged and exciting!

    Beautiful final moments of Vesper.
    Green is superb here

    Mr White!
    How did he retrieve the money?
    He must be a good swimmer!

    Perfect set up
    Perfect final sequence!

    Another fantastic viewing of CR!
    NTTD is going to have to go some way to even match this! But am optimistic, and really looking forward to it!

    Really? @Mathis1

    I really love the sequence because it really does the suspense well. Love the cutting between Bond and the MI6 experts hunched over Bond’s vital signs!

    Some good dialogue with Vesper after Bond recovers as well.

    Just felt it was rather out of place.
    Plus Bond staggering into the traffic was rather unconvincing to me!
    Its not a huge thing, the rest of the movie is still exemplary to me!

    Cheers Mate.
    Hard enough doing them on your own and the movie always seems to fly by!!

    Here's one I'm in the mood for.

    MOONRAKER

    Always thought Barry's gunbarrel score was unique for this film. Those opening chords are very MOONRAKER.

    Kim Fortune (not to be confused with Kim Richards) is back front and center.
    He obviously survived getting shot several times in the back.
    Great miniature work by Derek Meddings.
