    Woah! Interesting that my favorites are almost all each actors' first Bond film - even TSWLM was the first Bond film produced without Harry Saltzman, so kind of a first film even in a way.

    I feel like Thunderball is just a highlight reel of a film with Connery at his absolute peak.







    Couple this with Terence Young directing, arguably the man who created cinematic Bond, breathtaking cinematography and John Barry, it's a killer combination. I also love that we see Bond in a more casual environment, rather then in a suit all the time.

    TB is number seven In my rankings, and my fourth favorite Connery, but it’s at the absolute top for dialogue.

    It has fluctuated between 2-6 for me for decades. Would be #1 easily with about 10 minutes of underwater-scene editing.

    Thunderball was for 25 years my favorite Bond movie until late last year when I just had to admit to myself that I loved and watch one other just a bit more: Casino Royale. Thunderball is now ranked second. I still have incredible affection for it and a great deal of nostalgia whenever I watch it. It’s Connery at his most assured best, it’s the great villain, it’s the gorgeous scenery of the sea and the Bahamas, it’s the gorgeous scenery of Domino, Fiona, Paula and Patricia. It’s packed to the rafters with greatness.

    I agree that it is Connery at his arrogant best. From hitting the alarm with his elbow to boldly antagonizing Largo (despite no logical benefit to do so) to throwing the "little fish" back with a warning to Largo to all of the casual dismissals of Fearing's final advances.

    It's been riding a high for about two years on here, collectively.

    Well, I never noticed it. I used to be sparse with my comments of TB being better than GF. Those days are over. ;)

    Yes, GF (my favorite) has been a punching bag for a few years longer than that. But I'll never argue in it's favor, that would be pointless. People like what they like. It may be transitory, but nothing I say could or should alter anothers take on it.

    I'm not forcing you. ;) ;))

    Friend, TB is not just simply loved, it's adored. It was the height of Bondmania during the franchise's most fruitful decade, it's Connery at his best, it's the gorgeous girls and locations and it's THE quintessential 007 film.

    It's the quintessential depiction of cinematic Bond at it's best whereas On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the quintessential Fleming Bond on the silver screen, IMO.

    As this is the Bond Movies forum, that’s obviously what I meant, quintessential Bond film. Which is what I said.

    I’m more than halfway through the OHMSS novel. It’s only my fourth Fleming book so I’d like to get to the end of it first and then to the other books. Only then I could tell you if I agree that OHMSS is the quintessential Bond novel. So far, I’d say it’s my favorite.

    TB and OHMSS are the two Bond films I watch more often. (Then FRWL, TLD, DN and GF).

    I always considered that to be FRWL, but OHMSS is my second favourite Bond film so I guess we're not too different.
