Let's go back further. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Otis Redding, Eretha Franklin, Rosemary Clooney, and all the big greats. These days few ever pay any notice of the greatest singers of the 40s, 50s, and 60s, and that's a shame. I love Michael Bublé because he is an artist that cares for that era, and does the music the best justice. Same with Josh Groban. I commend them both.
as a Connery fan having watched DN when it was released, Lazenby was a disappointment for me. But over the years, having watched it a number of times, I feel that Lazenby was not bad, OHMSS was not badly made, and hence I have accommodated it in my list, certainly not in my top 4: DN, FRWL, GF, TB but I place it as my 5th and then CR, Barry was superb in OHMSS music score and that clicnhed its 5th place for me. I feel that Lazenby threw it away when he walked and the producers did nothing to make him stay. In the second film, he would have grown immensely.

Please tell me you had her arrested, DC. I mean, really!!! For such people to be part of our society ... it's beyond me.
I might embarrass myself now, but who is Stanley Kubrick?
You stop what you're doing and look here right now

I'll expect a full report on my desk in the morning
Have you heard of Alfred Hitchcock?? :-SS
He's one of the great geniuses in the field of photography, not known for his output of great quantity but instead for his output of great quality. His films are:
short documentaries
1951: Day of the Fight
1951: Flying Padre
1952: The Seafarers
pre-Spartacus
1953: Fear and Desire
1955: Killer's Kiss
1956: The Killing
1957: Paths of Glory
as director-for-hire
1960: Spartacus
his best known films
1962: Lolita
1964: Dr. Strangelove
1968: 2001: A Space Odyssey
1971: A Clockwork Orange
1975: Barry Lyndon
1980: The Shining
1987: Full Metal Jacket
1999: Eyes Wide Shut
He was about to make A.I. but sadly passed away in 1999, on March 7th, the day I turned 17 I might add.
He made one of my favourite horror films of all times, The Shining, and my favourite (Sci-Fi) film of all times, 2001.
One simply cannot claim to being a film connoisseur without having seen Kubrick's work!
Why Adam in turn refused to work on 2001, according to Wikipedia because "he found out that Kubrick had been working with NASA for a year on space exploration", is unclear to me. Did Adam have a beef with NASA? (Part of me is fairly intrigued by the thought of having Adam contribute to my favourite film of all times, yet another part of me is pleased that things ended up being as they did for any change to 2001 might have made the film less good.)
On your scale of embarassment 007RogerMoore this is a mere peccadillo.
I can´t recall any embarassment here from my side. You must mistake me for someone else.
That was with TSWLM if I remember correctly.
You should be.
?
Perhaps you are jealous because I like lasers?
1. The only Bond I consider to be worse than George is Brosnan, so agree with that. I've learned not to be too hard on George because it was his first role and he was after all replacing GOD (Sir Sean Connery). Hard to tell with only one appearance how George would have turned out.
3. The title theme is one of the greatest instrumentals ever written, and one of Barry's greatest soundtracks for Bond or anything else for that matter. Personally I prefer the DAF soundtrack as Barry's best Bond work and Goldfinger as the greatest Bond theme, but this soundtrack is definitely top notch and I love it.
Well I've read your post Jason and it's a fine post, but as you didn't pose a question or say anything controversial maybe everyone passed it by?
I've seen OHMSS on the big screen as well, but not on it's original release.
It was his best.
