James Bond 007 Series

Tosca scene. One of the greatest in the series' history

Tosca isn’t for everyone

Say what you like about Moonraker but John Barry's music is awesome.

I take Quantum of Solace ahead of half the Roger Moore movies, All Pierce Brosnan movies other than Goldeneye and the two Timothy Dalton movies

 

[revo333]

Watched bits and pieces of A View to a Kill this morning on Fox, didn't think it was that bad.

I thought it was ok, I think peoples main problem with it is Moores age.

I think the Dalton two are great, especially License to Kill. So underrated.

Killer theme song as well!

Even by Moonraker he's almost too old for it.

I quite enjoy the two Dalton films as well. The Living Daylights is let down a little by a weak lead Bond Girl but she is still likable, and it has an enjoyable story with some wonderful set pieces. Licence To Kill is one of my favourites, it's not your typical Bond film as its a revenge film and little more violent, and the two main villians (Sanchez and Dario) are more ruthless and blood thirsty than any characters seen previously. It also has an under rated Bond Girl in Pam Bouvier, who was every bit as tough and resourceful as Bond, and looked stunning with short hair. In the end I thought she was a little under used in the film.

 

[CURVE]

Even by Moonraker he's almost too old for it.

I thought he was good in For Your Eyes Only, but looked tired in the last two. Should have called it quits then, as he was around 53/54 when For Your Eyes Only was released.

" Thunderball " doesn't get enough love


Must've been a nightmare to make but you wouldn't know it watching the final product.

Highly controversial but I enjoy watching it more than Goldfinger.

Watched Goldfinger ( again ) last night actually and have Thunderball next on the planner.

Watched From Russia with Love on the weekend, never get bore watching it, has everything you want in a Bond movie and a spy movie, and that’s why I think it’s the best.

Daniela Bianchi (Tatiana or Tanya) is one beautiful Bond Girl, is actually the youngest lead Bond Girl in the series at 21 when it was made

As like Ursula Andres (Honey Rider) her voice was dubbed, as some of the other Bond Girls early on, when she was cast Daniela Bianchi could hardly speak any English

Also Claudine Auger (Domino) Thunderball, voice was dubbed by the same voice actor that did Ursula Andres voice in Dr No

Wow, that’s some interesting insight, thanks mate! Domino is still my favourite Bond girl to this day, stunning.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Favourite Bond Girl is Diana Rigg OHMSS, Beautiful in her day, Probably got the role by playing Emma Peel in the Avengers TV series about spies, back in mid sixties. Best known lately for playing Lady Olenna in Game of Thrones

I think the movie itself is quite good but Lazenby was trash. He wasn't even a proper actor, I think?

He's obviously a million miles from elite actors like Connery and Craig but for the most part I think he was perfectly fine in the way he portrayed Bond.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Watching Moonraker right now, can't believe how boring this is.

I hate how they turned Jaws into a pigtail chasing buffoon. He was great in TSWLM.

 

[Moonwatcher]

I think he's attempting re-entry sir.

He was fine right up to the point in which he was required to talk!

Just started rewatching the Bodyguard series. Richard Madden would make a good James Bond. His Scottish accent would be a throwback to the Connery days.

Good call.

I actually think Damien Lewis would be good for a 2 movie slot, even at his age, most people don't realise he's British having played Americans in all his major roles in Band of Brothers, Billions, Homeland etc Tarantino cast him as Steve McQueen, that should say enough. More of a TV actor, but he would be a good left field choice.

He has the 'mix' required imo.



Christian Bale would be pretty insane.

I could see Fassbender and Madden being pretty good, although Craig is tough shoes to fill.

Fassbender and Lewis are both great actors. But are they quite handsome enough?

Bale would be epic but would he want to do it?

 

[Kram]

I liked Bale earlier in his career but he would probably be even worse as Bond than he was as Batman and John Connor.

I agree that Damian Lewis would have been a fantastic choice. Ultimately though, it won't be until the start of 2023 (at the earliest) that they start filming #26. By then, so many of these fellas may not have the 'youth' needed to do 3-4 films.

Kara is one of my favourite Bond girls because there's an innocence there that makes her genuinely likeable. Along with, Dianna Rigg's Tracy di Vincenzo (OHMSS), and Eva Green's Vesper Lynd (Casino Royale) this is one of the few times where the relationship between Bond and his leading lady has any sort of substance to it.
