Me, too. One great scene after another.
Fiona confrontation. Great dialogue here.
Actually, to be honest that butchered ABC airing in 1983 left a lot to be desired, and at the time made it my least favorite thus far.
I remember waiting in the lobby of the cinemas the Saturday afternoon I went to see NSNA, reading a blurb about the new film that it was in fact a remake of TB.
That actually made me want to see TB again and take a second look.
A few years later (May of 1986 to be exact), ABC aired TB again -this time gunbarrel intact, and I loved every frame. I recorded that version and watched it numerous times.
My folks did rent the VHS CBS/Fox video, which for some reason had omitted the "mink" scene.
In 1988 the Bonds were re-issued on MGM/UA home video labeled "The Connery Classics". Each film had a trailer of the following film and a Pink Panther cartoon to precede the main feature. I saved up some money and my mom picked up TB for me.
First thing I noticed, was the print was brighter, crisper and the colors more lush. The titles were widescreen as well. In fact, all the "Connery Classics" had beautiful transfers, especially DAF. When MGM/UA released "The Moore Classics" the prints were lacking, IMO. LALD and TSWLM both looked particularly magenta.
TB was beautiful, though.
I collected several VHS and DVD versions of TB over the years- one around 1993 effed up the titles so that the "Harry Saltzman and Cubby Broccoli present Sean Connery" credits were left out.
I finally got to see TB in the cinemas in my young adulthood. One crappy print and two good ones. I must say, TB is certainly one Bond that is great in the big screen.
The sweeping shot of Bond going across the rooftops, doing battle with the goons, all in one take never fails to impress me. The score, the one-shot, all of it.
Awesome! I may put it on soon as well!
That makes me laugh. Unintentionally hilarious with the bored look he has.
I’ve come full circle with QOS. It was around #10 when I first saw it, slipped to about 16 over the years, now it’s up to 14. I first loved it, then felt meh about it, and now I like it a lot. Not quite as much as I originally did, but way better than the last couple years. I appreciate for being the most stripped back, straight up Bond adventure Craig did. In some ways it actually does feel like his most “traditional” outing so to speak.
1. TSWLM (#4)
2. YOLT (#13)
3. MR (#23)
One near the top, the middle, and the bottom. But I like the first two a lot. Even MR has moments and stuff I like.
YOLT is still very good. I wish I enjoyed MR more, but too many silly bits bring it down for me.
Double-take pigeon and Jaws falling in love are.
That's exactly the same as me,every word of it.
