  • OHMSS yet again because I finally read the novel...
  • "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" as a iTunes download in HD. Just before that, "Goldfinger" in the same format. I've dropped a pretty big hint that I'd like the 50th anniversary blu-ray box set of the first 22nd Bond films for my own 50th birthda…
  • Jim West in "The Wild Wild Wild West"!
  • timmer wrote: Interesting about Campbell in OHMSS the film. My take is that they left his being tortured up in the air. I think Telly Blofeld, when describing Campbell to Bond, was alluding to Campbell's very energetic public protest of his innoc…

  • I was 9 years old. My younger brother & I went to see our first "grown up" movie without a parent and it was LALD during its original run in 1973! We already knew Roger Moore from reruns of "The Saint" on TV and were excited to see him on the…
  • Now that I'm older and wiser, I can better appreciate the positive aspects of the Moore Bonds. TSWLM and FYEO are, in my opinion, good Bond films and not simply good Moore Bond films. I think both are better than DAF, for example, let alone DAD. …
  • I don't have a specific Bond villain I'd like to play but I'd sure love to have a sexy Bond girl sit in my lap and flirt with me so I'd be distracted from my nefarious scheming long enough for 007 to escape and/or knock me unconscious...

  • I saw my first Bond film at age nine - and it was in a cinema. It was also possibly the first non-kiddie matinee movie I went to without a parent (but my younger brother went with me). That was "Live and Let Die"! My brother and I were familiar w…
  • 1. Bond offers Moneypenny a tulip (sweet) 2. "One of nature's finest killers, Mr. Wint." "One is never too old to learn from a master, Mr. Kidd." (among other Wint & Kidd exchanges) 3. Bond-Franks slugfest in the elevator 4. "If you have any …

  • Watching YOLT again recently brought up many questions that have already been addressed here. But I have a couple more. Why shoot Bond out of a torpedo tube to send him to Japan? I suppose sending 007 there a boat wouldn't have been as cool. The…
  • I just finished "You Only Live Twice". I loved the Garden of Death aspect of the story: very creepy and maybe it was simply too much for a 1967 film. I hope they can find some way to use the idea in a future Bond film.
