ERGO: Moonraker
Well folks, closing this entry down soon. Some more votes for Geoffrey Keen?
Entry #5: Dame Judy Dench as M
Since I'll be out for a day, it might take a little longer before the next entry. But go ahead!
As for which is her best performance I'd go for either GE (let's face it Bond IS a "sexist, mysoganist dinosaur") or TND (Geoffrey Palmer: "sometimes I don't think you have the balls for this job. M: Maybe, but the advantage is I don't have to think with them all the time").
"She was just supposed to send you home. She worked in an office, collecting reports. Look how well your charm works, James. They'll do anything for you, won't they? How many is that now?"
"Come back alive."
I also love the moment before the briefing when Tanner insults M, not realizing she is right behind him. Great moment!
Now, strictly based on Dench's performance.
1. CR
2. QOS
3. TND
4. GE
5. DAD
6. TWINE
TND - just love her and Bond speeding through London.
:)
TND: 5
GE: 5
Is anyone, who hasn't voted yet, willing to settle this?
CR
I do like the scenes in Ms apartment and her utter exasperation with Bond.
2. QOS
3. TMND
4. GE
5. DAD
6. CR
Since Twine M being closer with Bond. I agree TMND is the moost normal M and Dench growing a lot in to the part. Without Twine she isn't like as she is in QOS count for both actres and chacter. With CR i get it repeat Twine for a big part and i less believe it because i have troubles with the movie and Daniel Craig. GE is the only one where M stick behind her desk. In DAD we see for once M ignore Bond mode for a short whyle and after this it look like Bond and M but also Dench and Brosnan search a way to realy come back. I can't not realy choose between DAD and CR.
The way she unloads at the beginning when she comes out of the meeting room at once establishes that this is not the same person who was superior to Brosnan´s Bond. For the rest of her scenes she is no inch less impressive.
Entry #6: Victor Tourjansky as 'man with bottle'
