Bond movies are fun, but they are pretty goofy. What is that mess of a movie with all the different Bonds, and Peter Sellers and Woody Allen and all that? I haven't seen that one. Or the new Daniel Craig ones.
the new Daniel Craig ones are considerably not goofy
Well, Quantum Of Solace takes itself so seriously that it sort of goes back to being goofy.
am I remembering correctly that Casino Royale set a world record for "most complete rolls of a car in a filmed scene"? I think the DVD special features pointed that out
EDIT: also holy shit yes Moonraker is terrible! Although it does include my favorite Bond line ever: "I believe he's attempting re-entry, sir." SO CHEESY!
I believe that Casino Royale set the record for "most complete rolls of a car ever"
And the crazy part is that there was a dude in that car! A stunt driver who broke his sternum in something in that crash
wait there was a driver in that scene?
how do you, in good conscience, ask someone to do that for a movie?
the thinking man's odds are on death or, at the very least, permanent disfigurement at that point
I had completely forgotten of the existence of J.W. Pepper

I used to think Goldfinger was the best Bond film
With Pusssy Galore and "I expect you to die"
But then I saw From Russia with Love and it has the manliest thing ever put to film

Yes, From Russia With Love is the best one.
Goldfinger sort of ruined Bond, as good as it was.
Not stopped or pulled over: nothing routine. I always drive properly. A bit fast, perhaps, but always with consummate skill and a natural feel for the road that even cops recognize. No cop was ever born who isn't a sucker for a finely-executed hi-speed Controlled Drift all the way around one of those clover-leaf freeway interchanges.
Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side when he sees the big red light behind him . . . and then we will start apologizing, begging for mercy.
This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop-heart. The thing to do - when you're running along about a hundred or so and you suddenly find a red-flashing CHP-tracker on your trail - what you want to do then is accelerate. Never pull over with the first siren-howl. Mash it down and make the bastard chase you at speeds up to 120 all the way to the next exit. He will follow. But he won't know what to make of your blinker-signal that says you're about to turn right.

I'm quite partial to You Only Live Twice.
Aside from a great title, it has the volcano ninjas launch pad battle which is still amazing.

Great thing about Casino Royale was having never heard of Eva Green before and then going to the GIS machine.
bathroom fight scene at the beginning of casino royale is just vicious
"How did he die?"
"Your informant? Not well."

Which esoteric bond intro song/video do you like best?
And don't say Casino Royale. Taking that off the table.

How could anyone say Moore was the worst when we had Dalton
Dalton was a good Bond in bad movies, Moore was a bad Bond in (mostly) good movies, obviously the worst was George Lazenby bad Bond, bad movie, just bad.

I think my favorite opening song is You Only Live Twice
It has a really great hook
Posts
Even now the theme tune is stuck in my head
(Because I looked it up on YouTube)
Actually it is significantly more ridiculous than even all of Roger Moore's Bond films combined.
Goldeneye had the perfect balance of silliness and plausibility for a Bond film
Also it had some really memorable sequences and tons of good character actors!

Edcrab I respect you as a man
but the theme song is the only part of Live and Let Die that is not completely awful
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cP1ICm10Kk
I do not think it would hold up
Boris was awesome. I just remember that ridiculous shirt and him freaking out as computers exploded around him.

I think you'll find I said I didn't like the Moore films
Like, he was never flustered and if some guy died in some horrible way he just made a quip
Those movies may have been pretty hammy but Moore's Bond was still a stone-cold killer
wait there was a driver in that scene?

Boris was the spitting image of my old electronics teacher, which just made him all the better

The Living Daylights was written as a Moore movie, and License To Kill is a great movie but it's not really a Bond movie.

I certainly had nightmares after I saw that.

I imagine when Condaleeza Rice negotiated with Vladimer Putin it was pretty similar to the training fight scene between Mayday and Zorn

Also you have to admit Walken in a view to a kill was pretty great.
I remember my logic when I saw that movie was, "Well, if Bond found her attractive enough to sleep with, maybe there's just something wrong with me."
Dalton was a good Bond in bad movies, Moore was a bad Bond in (mostly) good movies, obviously the worst was George Lazenby bad Bond, bad movie, just bad.
That movie was only redeemed by Walken.
