    Mr. Slumber looks so content as the coffin goes into the flames. Connery's reaction is priceless.

    Bond in peril. If DAF were a serial this chapter would end abruptly as Bond wakes up.

    I'll bet 1971 was an interesting year to live through, with the mixture of styles. Post Beatles, young kids with longer hair and casual clothes. Yet you still had old school types like Burt Saxby.

    Marc Lawrence looks exactly the same in 1971 as he did in the 1940's.

    When I was in high school I had a neighbor who was re- installing our electricity wires, and was a casual Bond fan. His favorite Bond film was DAF. I had NEVER met anyone before who picked DAF as their favorite film, so I thought it was cool. I showed him FRWL and he was bored until we got to the gypsy camp battle.

    Bond just walked in on Fiona in the tub.

    Nice! I love that stuff.

    TB was so great my last watch. It’ll probably stick around in my Top 10 for a long time.

    It's that type of face that he has. He looks like William Sadler.

    Had two of my favorite films (Clockwork Orange and French Connection). The 70s doesn’t seem like the most ideal time in some ways (but still probably better than now!), but it was probably the best decade in film history at least!

    I might put the '70's up there as well. It's at least the best in in my lifetime. My personal favorite decade for film is the 1940's with all the great film noir, classic monsters, comedies, westerns, mysteries and the golden age actors.
    Great viewing of DAF last night, though I didn't get to finish commenting. Matter of fact I dropped off.

    Watching FYEO with the Michael G Wilson and crew audio commentary. Love listening to Derek Meddings explaining his miniature effects.

    "Hey, c'mon, what're you so stuck up for?"

    Such a rich retort when she asks Krest to stop peeking through her window. Love it.

    The shot when Krest pulls his Beretta out and fires at Bond diving into the water, there's this odd cut that always bugs me with how noticeable it is.

    MR menu playing, this film has one of the most unusual scores of the series, it's my second favorite Sir Roger film despite its short comings it has some really interesting strange scenes.

    Ken Adams Bond Swan song was some of his best work.

    Some great stunt work during the sky dive sequence, I just wish they had resisted close ups on Jaws stunt man. The aerial photography is fantastic

    Bizarre title song that fits the film, most importantly I feel like I am watching a Bond film though I have watched this hundreds of times.

    This film looks stunning, Meddings model work and the mat paintings used in the film stand up incredibly well on upscaled Bluray.

    For all MR faults you can't deny the sheer ambition of the film on a practical level, almost every shot either has great architecture, great sets or bizarre angeled rooms, it's one of the most visually interesting Bond films.
