@JWESTBROOK, I know this is a pathetic request, but could you change 'best' in the thread title to 'favorite?' I'm really OCD every time I read it, and it pathetically irks me, haha.
I just don't see how I can let it be done, sorry. It stays.
I just can't see my day improving after that, thanks. Off to a tub of chocolate ice cream and Batman Begins to try and making something of this day you've ruined.
(*jokes*)
But no seriously, ice cream and Batman time.
Seriously, :) haha.
I see like me youre limbering up for TDKR. Finished Batman Begins yesterday and today I will do TDK. Think I will go pizza rather than ice cream though.
- Love the code names, the action and Ms response to the Admiral's "whats does he think hes doing?" ("His Job")
2° The Living Daylights
- The first shot of Dalton as he turns to the scream, the fighting in the Jeep and "better make that 2"
3° Goldfinger
- The tux under the wet suit, the grappling gun and "shocking, positivly shocking"
Hopefully Skyfall will be up there!

Great
Goldfinger (despite my feeling towards the movie, I do always enjoy the PTS)
Moonraker (once again, despite the fact the MR can be really boring at times, I do enjoy the PTS)
For Your Eyes Only (call me crazy, but I love the helicopter trap; also, the soundtrack does the whole scene justice!)
A View to a Kill (again, call me crazy, but I've always loved the opening of AVTAK- the ski chase is quite thrilling)
License to Kill (it's simple, yes, but it gets me ready for the rest of the movie!)
GoldenEye (just amazing- best way to start off any movie of all time)
The World is not Enough (no explanation is needed)
Die Another Day (action-packed. Enough said.)
Casino Royale (short but we get both an incredible fist fight and Bond's determining kill for being a double-oh)
Good
Thunderball (the fight with Colonel Boitier is decent, not a favorite of mine; also, the jet-pack was kind of unnecessary)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (the fist fights are good but everything else is forgettable)
The Spy Who Loved Me (not completely sure why I wouldn't put this in the great section, but I for one haven't always thought it was that terrific)
Octopussy (I would put this in the great section, but the locations are really bland and dull, so it loses points there)
The Living Daylights (contrary to popular opinion, I think this one is just decent)
Tomorrow Never Dies (despite my love for the rest of the movie, something here just doesn't completely satisfy like everything else to come)
The Rest
From Russia with Love (too short and not a lot going on)
Diamonds Are Forever (lacks good action- what we got was a little stale)
Live and Let Die (no Bond and barely any excitement, also way too short)
The Man with the Golden Gun (not much to say here, just that it's mildly entertaining)
Quantum of Solace (it'd be nice if I knew what was going on)
It definitely got easier the second and continued viewings. Most people didn't give it that chance.
Plus, I re-edited it.. twice (because I lost the first one :/ ) so I know it in and out ;)
I got rid of the truck driver in my edit :) What was a four minute scene I managed to get down to 2.5 I believe. Alot of crazy little cuts to remove. But the end result didn't seem that much different. It's an irreversible mess, but it's still entertainment.
Haha indeed. The music I mixed (was a tune by Giacchino from The Incredibles; very Barry-esque) had an end that, no lie, matches the beat of the gunshots. It fit perfectly. But yes, Arnold made me very proud with that scene. The soft build up, then silence to let the engine pierce through, and a great little track to finish off the chase.
I love when a score matches the beat of gunshots. It happened in 'The Town' trailer - then the gunshots were entirely different in the film - and the QoS trailer when Bond ejects the magazine out of his PPK, the score cuts. So beautiful.
Indeed, I have my own thread! http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/3314/jwestbrooks-editing-expiriments#Item_3
I too always enjoy an action scene much more when the camera moves slowly so that you can take everything in shot by shot without having to use the slow motion option on the DVD remote, hahaha.
Is that the scene where
Are they really spoliers? Youve got to be a pretty pathetic individual if your enjoyment of the film would be ruined by knowing that in advance.
If thats a spoiler then telling someone its a film about gangsters is a spolier.
Its over 20 years old anyway and a classic so people really shouldve seen it by now. And if they havent shame on them.
