Well what sad news indeed. One of the real great 007 directors.
 
Such a cinematic legacy he leaves us with.

Thank you, Guy.

RIP.

RIP. But a good age, and good films.

 

This year's become utterly ruthless.

Bond would not be the same without you, Guy.  You gave it its trademark of humor.  Both Lewis Gilbert and John Glen owe that to you.

Always loved his Bond films and often wished he was able to do many more similar justice... When I think of Bond directors, his name was always the first that popped into my head!

 

Rest in peace, Mr. Hamilton. Thanks for the magic!

R.I.P. Mr. Hamilton.  You put the fun in Bond, giving it one more element that the series needed to survive and be loved.

His Bonds have always been favourites of mine. Especially Diamonds Are Forever and Live and Let Die. So jam-packed with awesomeness.

 

RIP

George Martin 90

Douglas Slocombe 103 (One hundred and effing three!)

 

I guess they made men from iron back then.

There are some nice memories of Guy Hamilton, as recalled by Roger Moore, summarized in 'Memories of Guy' at the JBIFC's website: www.007info

 

He was clearly a super-cool Bond director. RIP.
