You, me and @Pierce2Daniel could probably speak ad nauseum on the subject. Incidently, do be sure to check out @Pierce2Daniel's 'DR NO ANALYSIS' thread if you haven't already. That thread really spoke to me as a diehard fan of the film. It's sad to think that a film like that probably won't happen again in the series, given how the franchise has balloned since those early days. Still, that makes Dr No all the more special, while it was being made not even the producers knew quite what they had on their hands. :)>-

Well, you need one bad movie in there, because all that greatness will get old. I had to cut TSWLM, which was a source of much sadness, but I had to stay true to the greats and to the need for variety.

My list changes all the time except FRWL always on top.
Laz keeps OHMSS from being higher. I'm iffy on GF but left it there.
I know. I nearly included LALD. But LTK is a better film. I prefer the film's I deem more in keeping with Fleming's Bond.
Classic loves here, except perhaps Live And Let Die, which I don't find overly popular (then again, on here, it is considered to be Moore's second best?).
Anyway, if you're allowed to take six, I think it should take one of each actor. If you spend long enough on the island, you'll miss the actor that you failed to take a movie of. Also, I can't imagine taking both TLD and LTK onto the island. I'm an LTK apologist myself, but even I admit that the movie is hugely flawed. TLD also has some gaping holes. Both are far from perfect - I just enjoy them for what they are: good, but not great Bond films.
I think a lot of people consider FYEO his second-best.
I agree about taking one of each actor. But I don't agree on the gaping holes in TLD. That's rather subjective, really.
As for TLD, agree to disagree. But weak villains, leftover Moorism that Dalton doesn't handle well, lack of steam once they hit Afghanistan and a (for me) rushed villain death count as gaping holes. Not crippling ones, just visible ones.
I consider both TLD and LTK great and don't consider any of Moore's great. I wouldn't miss him to be honest. I find four of his seven films highly enjoyable but I can't consider them great.
My opinion of course. I know Moore has a huge fanbase.

How can a desert island six be compiled without a Moore movie??
Ok, so it's 8 now is it.
The 8 Bond movies I would take with me on the desert island
Dr No
From Russia With Love
Thunderball
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Casino Royale
Licence to Kill
Live & Let Die
Goldfinger
True. But if there are 8 I can include a Moore film.
However, if I follow the rule of 1x film per actor;
From Russia With Love
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Live & Let Die
Licence to Kill
Goldeneye
Casino Royale
Absolutely. I'll have to pop over to that thread and take a look, I always relish an opportunity to talk DN to death.
Surely that IS his best?
On a side note, I wouldn't mind having civilized one-on-one debates regarding films vs films or actors vs actors or anything of the sort, really.
It is great, but personally I find FYEO to be the better film.
