I've never cared for the film. Saw it the first time fairly early on after discovering the Bond films. Didn't care for it much then and none of the subsequent viewings have done much to make me think otherwise.

This is more or less just a list of the order in which I prefer watching a given movie at the moment. So I know FRWL is a great film, but the truth is, I just don't feel like watching it very often.
The top five is pretty much untouchable for me and is most indicative of what I like the most in Bond. But I also love (and miss) the way Bond movies used to be unbelievably weird at times. DAF, TMWTGG, and AVTAK are all incredibly weird movies, for example. I kind of miss that tone....
You're going to fit in here very well...
I see you have a very heavy focus on Fleming. Interesting.
If anything, it's ranked a bit too high.
Woof, that's harsh! :))
This has probably been discussed to death already, but although I understand very well the issues some have with SP, I can't for the love of my life grasp how anyone could rank at the bottom of the pile! I just don't get it. The plot might not be that great, but is it really worse than some of the other mess we,ve been served in the past? And what's to be criticized about the technical film making?
Although I respect the opinions of most people on here, I have the sense that massive disappointment due to expected potential, and too big an emphasis on one infamous plot twist, affects the verdict of many people more than they are willing to admit.
I really did find it one of the most boring the first time. Now the quirky and bizarre moments (bar the Kananga death and some of the boat shtick) make it stand out more.
Present rankings ...
1. The Spy Who Loved Me.
2. You Only Live Twice.
3. Diamonds Are Forever.
4. Die Another Day.
5. Tomorrow Never Dies.
6. A View To A Kill.
7. Quantum Of Solace.
Set eyes to stun. :-O
It was the absolute opposite for me. Live And Let Die was an incredibly fun and thrilling adventure back in '73, and it still is for me today. Having seen all the Bonds now, the bizzareness of the film does stand out, but that's what makes it unique in the melting pot of Bond movies. It's obviously a very 70's-era film, but not as much as any of Moore's other 70's flicks.
What's your favourite?
Well, no worries then. No matter what day it is you have great taste in Bond! ;)
