Bond Movies You Will Definitely Watch At LEAST One More Time Before You Cash Out.

Brosnan Defender Of The Realm
Some Bond fans watch all of them in marathons, some watch them in spurts, some only watch their favourites....
As I am older, with more days behind than ahead, I need to choose wisely. And my memory is good, so I have all Bond films in my positronic hard drive, anyway.
So, my binary list:
DN: yes
FRWL: yes
GF: Oh yes.
TB: yes
YOLT: Yes
OHMSS: yes
DAF: yes
LALD: okay, yeah
TMWTGG: Yes
TSWLM: no
MR: No
FYEO: no, but I'll always love it nostalgically for the PTS
OP: yes, for the bad guys & the clown scene
NSNA: yes, for Connery & the jokes
AVTAK: no
TLD: Yes
LTK: Yes
GE: yes
TND: Yes
TWINE: okay, yeah, I guess
DAD: yes
CR: yes
QOS: Yes
SF: no
SP: yes
NTTD: no. Unless I'm feeling sad about living...

As with all Bond fans, I have films that rank higher or lower than some in the series. But in my late 40’s I will certainly watch all of the films in the series again.
If I flipped through some channels and GE or QOS were on, I might perhaps stick around and watch them if there was nothing else on tv.
But something like “let’s watch TWINE tonight”?… never gonna happen!
It's a disjointed of a film with different subplots that were not allowed to breathe and develop, the same for the characters, some of them were plot devices just to advance the story but without actual characterization like Logan Ash for example, he's just there to kill Felix, he doesn't serve any purpose other than that, the same for Paloma, and again, the plots were all compressed in one film when one each of them could be in different Bond films (SPECTRE's blackmail of Madeleine, Bond and Nomi's rivalry and Bond's relevance (again), Safin involving his revenge against Mr. White and his relationship with Madeleine, Logan Ash killing Felix (a double agent) and Bond's revenge for his death), and the main plot which is the Nanobots was not fleshed out well for me to buy the whole thing that's going on.
The blatant callbacks, I have no problem with giving tributes to the older Bond films, but them to have no originality and to reuse them again in a new original concept (Bond's romance with Madeleine and its usage of We Have All The Time In The World) is beyond unforgivable for me, the underutilized Aston Martin V8 from TLD (minimizing its purpose only to drive Bond from London to Norway, unrealistically).
And again, the underutilized characters that were not fleshed out, the obvious emotional manipulation by overkilling Bond (not organic or natural), it followed what DAD had done before by sabotaging the anniversary of Bond (if my memory serves, it's intention was to release the film in 2022, if not for Pandemic), well, it's a bad celebration of the Bond Franchise, just like DAD, it failed to be a successor of Skyfall (the only Bond celebration film that got it right), there were many things gone wrong with this film, again, I have no problem doing with them risky things in Bond, but it's done in a wrong and messy way.
I would watch them all without question!
I think any of us who are motivated enough to be on the MI6 website right now would vastly prefer watching *any* Bond film (yes, even DAD) over whatever is on hospital TV, or the beeping of medical devices.
:)) Absolutely!
Plus it was my first ever Bond film, so it would be fitting if it were the last.

Yes, I think I'd rather listen to the beeping medical.machines 😂😂
1. All of the 60s films
Felt a bit dizzy, but I'm ok.
2. LALD, MR, OP, TLD, TND, CR, SF, NTTD
I'm unwell, bedridden, but I still have breath in my body
3. DAF, TMWTGG, TSWLM, FYEO, GE, QOS, SP
The doctor has been and I'm conscious but I noticed him shaking his head sadly at my wife.
4. AVTAK, TWINE, DAD
I'm drifting into unconsciousness....
5. I think LTK is on but everything has gone dark
Watch the birdie, you bastard. ;)
Actually the film was supposed to come out in 2019, and then in 2020 following Boyle's departure. The pandemic actually pushed it closer to 2022, not further.
Thanks for correction 😊 @NoTimeToLive
Very funny!! 😄 😆 😁!! Genuine laugh out loud!!
No worries :)
Maybe I should move this to the controversial opinions thread. LTK bashers are a dying breed (soon to become extinct). :)
LOL. I can definitely bash the so-mo running in the PTS but someone recently said that was edited to have a joke song over it a la The "Beach Boys" in AVTAK.
Yes, @echo , our own @ColonelSun was part of the editing team on LTK. He said Glen wanted Chariots of Fire theme music over this slow-mo scene
Did Kamen overrule him? Because that was clearly the right call.
I'm not sure about that @echo ... @ColonelSun , if you're out there, mate, can you answer this ? I wouldn't be surprised if it was a collective decision (?).
But yes, the right call was made!
I wonder if it was Barbara!
Oh wait, she's only responsible for the bad decisions... ;)
😂 😂 😂 yes, she’s a dummy.
And she’s in love with Craig.
She’s so in love with him, her infatuation has made a dumb person, even dumber. One bad choice after another!!
She’s no Cubby.
