Disagree. Thank you Dr_Metz for providing the evidence why:
I also prefer the TSWLM and TLD cello/ski chase as well. That stated, the FYEO ski chase is a good one and probably the best action scene in the film. I'd rank it higher than the AVTAK and TWINE ski chases, though AVTAK has better action music underscoring it(at least until "California Girls" hits the soundtrack).
OHMSS wins this one.
All three are very good, but OHMSS is my favorite and FYEO is good second.
And both the Barry & Conti score are excellent examples of how such an actionscene should be scored. (that said the TSWLM score accompanying the ski-chase is pretty good too)
;)
I must say, the For Your Eyes Only is very good, in fact I like all the ski chases to date except one...
I don't really get into these debates, and I really should.
Have to agree with @Dr_Metz on this one. The above is still amazing 43 years later.

Disagree.
Agreed.
I'll be the first to admit that I've tried some weird foods and drinks just because Bond did it, lol
Now that this topic has been brought up, I wonder if anyone involved in DAF thought of the idea of Willard White serving Bond sausage for breakfast.

Spot on Mr DaltonCraig.
I find myself agreeing with you twice in two days. This really has got to stop.
....indeed!! As I've said before in an eailer post on another debate, it's not until recently that Eon have employed people from a higher caliber in the departments of Cinematographer and other areas of the crew?!
Alec Mills and Alan Hume were pretty middle of the road director of photography's, the late Adrian Biddle and now Roger Deakins on SF are of a much much higher caliber!!!!!
John Glen comes from an old school kind of film making, and rarely stepped out of his comfort zone!!! Thus...worked with like wise folks?! Shame really because inparticular the likes of FYEO, TLD & LTK could of been oh so more stylish/better?, if Eon and Glen had broadened there scope and gone with the film making trends of the times, instead of just keeping the same old and do what we do and not move on, even just a little bit!!? :-B
.....add on.... Most of the stunt work cinematograph/2nd unit directors in John Glens films was done by either Arthur Wooster or Vic Armstrong!!, both not bad but neither of them top draw either?!?
What is it with people taking the words out of my mouth today?!
That's funny! And they should have. I grew up enjoying Jimmy Dean's sausages.
changed...
