- PTS. Over-rated boat chase or not, one can't deny this plus the banker scene is a highlight
- the snow scene isn't on par with OHMSS or FYEO but it's still fun
- Russian silo scene- the banter with M and Renard, and some of the camera angles here are great
- I quite like the pipeline moment with Bond deciding to let it explode
- the Maiden's tower has some good scenes with M/Renard and Bond/Elektra, 'I never miss' regarded as one of Brosnan's best moments of his tenure.
I don't think I've seen TWINE in anyone's top 5. Where does it rank for you, @royale65?
OMG The World is Not Enough is my favorite Bond of all time. Its the best of the best IMO and Brosnans best performance as Bond
Well, funny you should mention that - 5/23!
@fjdinardo - there's a TWINE appreciation thread knocking about here somewhere. It was my number one, back in the day.
Calvin Dyson actually has it listed as 4th. And TWINE was my first Bond so it must've been in my top five at some point, right? ;)
I know @thelivingroyale really likes it, but I'm not sure where exactly he has it. I like TWINE well enough, but it's only in the middle of the pack for me. Elektra is a good character, some of the action is cool, and Brosnan has some of the best moments of his tenure. On the other hand, Renard is underused, Brosnan overacts sometimes, and Christmas is terrible.
Even as one one TWINE's most staunch defenders, I have to admit these are true.
I posted it earlier in the thread, but I think if Christmas Jones hadn't been a character, TWINE would be significantly improved. It would jump about 5 spaces (or possibly more) on my ranking.
Well, I'd not read that, but I'm glad to hear that we think alike! :)
Could well have been top 3 material.
I don't hate TWINE as I don't really hate any Bond movie (even if DAD comes close to hatred) but it's very low on my ranking perhaps because it has a lot of potential and I feel they wasted it.
On the Tracy/Blofeld aspect of Elektra and Bond's relationship in the film - very interesting. I'd not heard that theory before, but I agree parts of the film were rather underdeveloped.
He reviews the Bond films and was on this site for a small period of time. There's an appreciation thread for him, I believe. I've never really gotten into his videos, so I'm a bit lost on who he really is, aside from what I listed.

He's also a member on this very forum.
Do we know his user name?
@CalvinDyson
I should have guessed at that first before asking. X_X
It's been a long day for me.
With the collective exception of Godfather I and II, Casino Royale is the greatest movie of all time.
I don't think that's too controversial. Some might love it and some might hate it, but I think it usually falls in the middle. I enjoy Solitaire, Tee Hee, the boat chase, and the title track, and I respect it for helping to keep the series going, but I've never been much of a fan of the voodoo plot or Dr. Kananga, and Rosie is, of course, intolerable.
Probably just outside my top 5, 6th or 7th.
When you say greatest, do you mean your favourite or do you mean it's objectively the best film of all time?
Speaking objectively now, I have seen plenty of films that are better than CR. I'd even argue that it's not objectively the best Bond film either (still think it's OHMSS).
It's slowly climbed my list past films such as 2001, Traffic, and most recently Chinatown. Godfather I and II (which tie for first place overall) are the only films in front of it.
Pretty strong stuff, but not entirely absurd and indefensible. Hell, I rate OHMSS as one of my top 10 films.
Well those 3 are on my top 10 favorite movies of all time.
:))
Don't lie, Rosie is your dream girl, especially because of her sparkling personality.
