  • We took a helluva risk with Bambi Thug, but she clearly was the standout in our National contest ( there was even a crappy boyband in there!) And she proved the doubters wrong, ( some radio stations refused to play it, as they thought it was too out…
  • I dont believe TLD is underrated, I think its highly regarded as a real Ian Fleming James Bond film, and Dalton as an excellent 007, the very best imo, and some of the more lighter moments, which was probably a decision by Cubby and Co not to stray …
  • Agree about Claudine, but must admit Rosamund Pike does nothing for me! Someone actually said she would have been a better Vesper than the glorious Eva Green!!! What nonsense!
  • Nice one @CommanderRoss Its one Bond movie I haven't done a comments along, mainly cos I dont like to miss any of it while I'm typing!! Its a tremendous film, and Dalton is sublime in it! So many great scenes, and Barrys last score for Cubby after …

  • GE for me too! Not Derek Meddings finest hour!

  • @ToTheRight , its getting where I tune in to see your current list, just to see where you place LTK this time!! 😂
  • So we're good to go now? (Ugh, I sound like that bloke off Eurovision!) Do we have a deadline @GoldenGun ? I should get my list in at the weekend!

  • I now own a copy of 'Barbarella', having seen it many times on telly. Its pretty kitsch and really only worth seeing for Jane Fonda, in a variety of sexy costumes, and her opening weightless strip tease over the titles!

  • I'd go with 'The Living Daylights' too! Amazing work on that bridge set piece!

  • What ruins the end sequence for me is that you hear Harry asking to swap coats with the villain, so you know its not him who gets shot!

  • I remember distinctly the release of 'The Evil Dead', and that whole video nasty nonsense, and going to see it in the cinema! ( an unpleasant memory is some joker shouting out "Bullseye!" at a moment in that rape scene, a sequence that director Sam …
  • Congrats to Switzerland, I had them pegged from the start, should have put a bet on!! My favourites, France, came close, but it was no contest in the end! For us in Ireland, though it wasn't my cup of tea, it was great to see Bambi Thug do so we…

  • I like both films, though admit I hated NSNA when I first saw it on release, and I used to think TB was a bit of a slog to get through. Had a great viewing of TB recently, and both have gone up in my estimations! At a push, I will probably go with y…
