The Spy Who Loved Me

Is this the comfiest Bond film?

- Fun, cold war era adventure which never takes itself too seriously
- Moore in his prime. Alpha af, has some good lines and even some coldblooded killer moments
- Barbara Bach can't act but is cute and has a fine rack
- JAWS!!!
- Great action throughout. No CGI, just real stunts and models. Very comic book-esque but never goes too over-the-top
- Beautiful soundtrack with perhaps best opening song
- The fuckin' Lotus!

Maybe not the best Bond picture but definitely the one I love coming back to when I just want to sit back, relax and enjoy a classic action-adventure spy thriller.

The best Bond movie is Casino Royale. Great scenery, smooth performances (the chick is lousy but Craig and the rest are fine), relaxing soundtrack. I wouldn't say it's comfy as much as it is tranquilizing. But it falls apart after the Casino parts are over.

It's one of the most forgettable movies there is.


Thunderball might be the comfiest. The underwater-scenes and the slower pace of the movies (that is just fucking good).

Maybe all I want is just a poker movie withot all the lousyness. I just wanna see some dudes playing some fucking poker while smooth music plays on the background and with them not dressed like retards.

Watch fucking Rounders, or some shit. There are way better poker movies out there that don't have an hour of fucking padding before the fucking movie gets to the fucking point. Not to mention subjecting us to the first gay Bond.

Yet I still remember more of it than from the other Craig Bonds.
And since the next Bond is supposed to be a nigger I probably just stop watching them altoghter.

Thunderball is fucking boring.

I honestly wouldn't mind if they never made another.

Congratulations user, you have shit taste.

Congratulations user, you gay

Who's the single worst bond villain in the franchise?

No

Dominic Greene. He exemplifies how bland, drab, and boring James Bond has gotten in the Daniel Craig era. His evil, diabolical plan is to… steal water…

faggot

the plot of that film was so convoluted. Though I've heard people defend Quantum of Solace by saying that stealing water happens in real life.

Would Moonraker be the comgiest Bond film?

You know, Man with the Golden Gun was actually pretty good if you can overlook some shitty director\editor choices.

Christopher Lee with Three Nipples was an odd choice, but still a good movie with one of the better opening themes.

Yeah I liked this film. Though the sheriff in Thailand was kind of annoying.

Stealing water is not the problem, remember Zorin wanted to flood the Silicon Valley with nothing but dynamite and some water pumps. But the character and the performance were so fun you couldn't help but to feel amazed but his insanity.

The script tries as hard as it can to make Green seem interesting, but it just fails in every aspect. Hell, all the actors in the film were top notvh but they had nothing to work with.

The bond books have a good chunk of gambling: Moonraker has a great bridge match between Bond and Drax.

It really could have been something if they were a little closer to the source material with the space rocket not being a rocket at all but a ballistic missile he was building in secret, but no since Star Wars was such a fucking huge success there had to be some weird poison flower plot and pretty lame space battles which tried to be the fight form Thunderball, it still has its moments at least but it really could have been a lot better.

Real bummer that it would be the last time we had a Connery bond with a Shirley Bass opening, the woman had some pipes on her and was probably the only bit everyone could agree was pretty good in that flop.

don't hate the Moonraker film. It had a sense of style, good stunts, cool sets a nice soundtrack. It was good despite being all over the place and a rerun of The Spy who Loved Me.

Though it feels bad that the novel never got the treatment it deserves. It is Fleming's best with FRWL and OHMSS. The closest we got to Moonraker was AVTAK, Goldeneye and Die Another Day and they still managed to butcher the novel in some way.

GoldenEye's nothing like Moonraker. It's Die Another Day that was supposed to be the Moonraker novel adaptation, to the point that Rosamund Pike's character was originally supposed to be called Gala Brand.

The villain and his plan are. Drax was nazi who wanted to bomb England for revenge. Alec was a cossack trying to destroy Britain's economy for revenge. If anything DAD actually distances itself from the book since the Grave's plan is retarded all the way through.

moneypenny is best girl. This is not up for debate.

I like this Mr. Bond more

But which Moneypenny?

I'd buy them for a dollar.

You forgot the black one from the Daniel Craig movies.

...

No I didn't

Fuck: Samantha Bond
Marry: Lois Maxwell/Caroline Bliss
Kill:

So what would the best opening be? Visuals or by music I guess.

Goldfinger really seems to be the most iconic opening of all of them, so even if it's the most parodied and shit it's still so huge you gotta love it.

the other ones are cute but lois maxwell is the best by far.

goldfinger might have the best theme and opening overall, but i think that purely on visuals from russia with love is the best. the projection on the belly dancers is cool.

But she's Canadian

On Her Majesty's Secret Service


Why did no one like this Bond again?

Lazenby

He was a good Bond though? I genuinely don't understand, was it because of the box office or what?

The film did fine when first released, just not as well as You Only Live Twice, most likely because Connery wasn't in it. Regardless, they were planning on keeping Lazenby on for at least 6 more films but his agent convinced him to ditch the role (thinking spy films were going to die out).

I too love OHMSS (like to rewatch it around Christmas) and never had a problem with Lazenby. He's a little off here and there but then again, so was Connery in Dr No. I'm sure he would have gotten better over time and I really wish we got to see his version of Diamonds Are Forever, which was originally going to be a straight up revenge film.

Connery basically popularised the series, this was the first film without Connery and it featured a guy whose acting experience was selling cars. Yeah, it was unpopular.

Seems like an unpopular opinion, but I always loved the Octopussy theme and opening scene. Mostly because of John Barry's score.

I also think it is one of the most fun of the Bond movies.

Lazenby definitely needed another movie, I actually liked how his Bond seemed human enough but not too much that it ruined things, he struck a good balance and there were certainly good stunts in there. I particularly liked the ski chase, but there were other hi-points, I know introducing continuity would have put things out of whack but I would have liked to see his revenge flick afterwards.

...

How dull he was

I think he's going to turn out to be a great Vice President.

Fleming would be proud.

I honestly wouldn't mind him as the next bond. Only problem is he looks a little old for the role.

Who should the next bond be?

I was thinking Michael Fassbender since he's a good actor but I don't know if people are getting tired of him yet.

that looks great user.
