  • I am always wary about deciding the relative standing of a Bond film when it's just come out - I remember in 2002 when swathes of Bond fans were saying "New ranking: 1. DAD 2. FRWL 3. OHMSS 4. GF etc..". Obviously SF will always be regarded at t…

  • I too was slightly apprehensive about Bond embracing the narrow lapels and slim fit trousers look - one gets the impression from the books that he doesn't follow fashion when choosing his suits (like most people who wear bespoke). Having seen the…
  • Henry Chancellor's James Bond: The man and his world has an excellent biography of Fleming and sections exploring various aspects of the Bond's life: food, villains, women, cars/gadgets, nature etc.
  • I'm just back from my second viewing (will see it again with my girlfiend and possibly more if I get any more invitations) and was impressed enough to seek this forum out after a few years' absence. It's good to be back!
