combining music, the gunbarrel, and the Bond... i've grown to love the Lazenby one..
And TLD, which is just stunning!
And for an runner up, i gotta place TND:
I agree. The music was different for starters and yes, you know this is gonna be a different and tense film.
I always thought Brosnan looked too stiff in his gunbarrells ( I did like the synthesizer used for GE)
I liked the way OHMSS shows the producers names as the white dots move across (carry over from DN)
Anybody else ever wonder why the first three films the red wash looks diluted and is not the deep red that covers everything just kinda washes over it?
^^^^Agreed in full.
A final comment:
They used Simmons' for the first three films and when they went to the widescreen format for TB they had to reshoot for scope this time using Sean Connery.
They used this for his next two films, YOLT and DAF (YOLT is shown in black and white while DAF has a funky blue tint.
Lazenby's is unique as the sides of the gunbarrel looks like colors in a spectrum (this was also used for DAF)
LALD and TMWTGG used the same gun barrel but when they returned to the widescreen format for TSWLM it had to be re done for scope. Also Roger is wearing a tux now (he wore a business suit in his first two films)
They kept with this and just changed the music some for the rest of Moore's films...
Dalton's is the same except for the music in LTK
Brosnan's remains consistent except for DAD with that silly CGI bullet. I liked the music they used for GE and wish they had kept it consistent during Brosnan's films.
Anyway, maybe it's just me...
Licence To Kill: As DoubleOhhSeven said, as soon as you hear the music, you just know this is going to be different.
GoldenEye: How it should have been.
Two Bond Gunbarrel: Would make for a good Connery / Dalton double-bill.
Something a bit different
1. OHMSS
2. LTK
This was somewhat controversial as many felt that Lazenby's 'moonwalking' in OHMSS made his GB look cheap. But it was his knee drop coupled with John Barry's Moog synthesizer take on Bond theme that put it at #1. The unusual music cue for the GB is what propelled LTK to the #2 spot.
The Bob Simmons ones ranked highly as well (DN-GF). FYEO ranked highly for Moore too.
The bottom 2 were QOS and DAD, if memory serves, followed by the Brosnans and CR.
It would be interesting to see how this would pan out now, since we have a lot of new members since then...
1. For Your Eyes Only
2. GoldenEye
3. Goldfinger
4. Dr. No
5. Casino Royale (If you wanna count that one...)
I guess you could say that I like the weirder ones...(minus GF). The only ones I really don't care for are Golden Gun, TSWLM and DAD (for that bullet). The rest are all quite excellent.
That's exactly why, also the David Arnold music.
DAF had that brilliant echoish dramatic sound and when played on high definition TV it really is excellent.
But the best has to be LTK, the way it builds up to the gunshot, and its different and original. LTK has the best gunbarrel, the best bond, and to top it all of its the best bond film.
I can't really argue with that, too much. ;) Though TLD is still #1 for me (LTK is #2), there are still some aspects of LTK that I prefer to TLD, such as the main villain.

Nope. It is fine. The problem is that it is on the end, not on beggining of the film.
You're not going to be happy with Skyfall then...
Yes. And almost Everyone on this forum will. :)
I loved the For Your Eyes Only Gunbarrel. It had that funky vibe to it.
For me. I always loved Pierce Bronsan's Gunbarrel's. My favorite out of all of them is Goldeneye. It sounded mysterious.
