Sorry DAF fans but after watching some of it last night I've decided to put it right at the bottom. There are a few funny moments - especially early on - but overall it has to be one of the dullest, laziest films in the series IMO. The best character other than Bond is reduced to a joke (Tiffany Case), Connery is on pure autopilot (I'd rather watch Jill St. John walking round in a bikini) and the action is mundane.
Octopussy must be so good that it's in a whole new catergory?
How could you forget OP @chrisisall ?
I often note that many fans seem to place OP middle of the road. With 13 being an oft place position. Coincidence that it's the thirteenth entry in the series. Hmmmm.
I tend to notice little things like that.
Poor shame Sir, poor shame!
Each to their own, but how can OP be so low?
Not a fan of Sir Rog?
DAD is quite bad (some of it is atrocious), but I can at least get through it without almost falling asleep. Plus I think the swordfight is better than any of the action in DAF.
Nice to see OP make the top 10. Nice work.
;)
Can't dispute the bottom five. Very similar in thinking to my own bottom five. I used to love DAF, and still do enjoy it whenever I watch it. But not as a Bond film. It's a sad swansong for Connery. The same man from DN, FRWL and TB. Hard to believe. Golden Gun has never won me over and the less said about DAD and QOS the better. Good list @BAIN123
Better than the elevator fight?
Also when she shoves the guard out of the way on the oil rig to get to Bond WHY DOES THE GUARD STILL STAND THERE?
I realise that a lighter approach may have been seen as the way forward in the early 70s, but at least have a BIT of suspense in there somewhere.
Maybe I am being a little hard on it - it's not without its good moments, but I do find it very dull. It's a film I frankly struggle to finish (I didn't last night).
Yes.
The score is good. Wint and Kidd are ok but not among the best. Charles Grey gives a good performance but the way the character is portrayed is all wrong. That gentlemanly approach is better in YOLT.
@Benny. Thanks btw. I think OP is a lot of fun. There are problems but it does at least have some good moments of suspense as well as some lighter scenes.
I have models older than you...

Shame on you. Shame.
:))
I love it!!! I mean, how could someone not like it? It's so funny and entertaining; deservedly a top 10 Bond film for me too. Without a doubt one of Moore's best; I could go on about how underrated it is.
I could say a lot about that film haha. Moore was at his best in his youngest days; for me, his first 3 features were his best. LALD is so unique and entertaining, and it's possibly Moore's best performance as Bond. Oh and the girls and villains are superb
No - what the heck?!?!? HAHA I can't believe I didn't notice that! Huh... interesting. I'll have to see that again soon.
