I loved Ffolkes! I like the part where he says that he loves cats and doesn't like people who don't. It was so "Mooreish".

[DLibrasnow]

err...because they sucked.

[Blofeld's Cat]

• The Wild Geese

I need to think more about the rest of the list.

[DLibrasnow]

I take it you really liked 'The Wild Geese' Brett

[Blofeld's Cat]

What gives it away Darren?

That "Ice, Fire and Dynamite" thingy that Willy Bogner did can join the other three turkeys he did.

[Genrewriter]

I enjoy ffolkes and Cannonball Run is a guilty pleasure for me. I also enjoyed what I saw of Bullseye! (late night tv is a godsend) and would like to see the entire thing at some point.

Actually, those are in no particular order. I'm particularly fond of Moore's TV work, The Saint, and Maverick.

[DLibrasnow]

Thanks for this topic Darren 

No problem It's good to see someone else also really liked SHOUT AT THE DEVIL too.

[Tanger]

What about "The Man Who Wouldn't Die"?

[DLibrasnow]

You mean the TV-movie murder mystery with Malcolm McDowell (sp?). I haven't seen it (so cannot rank it) but you are welcome to add it to your rankings.

Hardly the hardcore Roger Moore fan we've been led to believe you are then

It's very enjoyable and has some nice moments. I'm not sure on it's availability but it's one to seek out.

Well being a TV movie its hard to see it is I was not in the country at the time of its transmission . I have not seen it available on DVD anywhere either

[Taro Todoroki]

The Wild Geese also. If memory serves correct didn't Maurice Binder do the titles? I think there were a few other Bond contributors that worked on the movie too. Anyone know if it's out on DVD?

[DLibrasnow]

If you have a region free player Taro you can get THE WILD GEESE from Amazon UK. The Region 2 DVD includes an audio commentary by Roger Moore as well as an interesting Euan Lloyd documentary.

Its availability on the UK (along with ESCAPE TO ATHENA, RAISE THE TITANIC, WHEN EIGHT BELLS TOLL and the Peter Cushing BBC Holmes series among many other titles) was a major factor in my getting a region-free DVD player.

[Taro Todoroki]

Good idea Darren, I may just do that!

[DLibrasnow]

I own about 100 DVDs from other regions. For sometime I simply refused to buy Region 1 releases.

Check out the link below for 25 reasons why to get a region free player:

[Moore Not Less]

In order that the films were made.

The Sins Of Rachel Cade
The Man Who Haunted Himself
Gold
Shout At The Devil
The Wild Geese
The Sea Wolves
The Cannonball Run
Bed And Breakfast

[4 Ur Eyez Only]

ffolkes

[DLibrasnow]

Its good to have you back 4 Ur Eyez Only!!

[Doubleshot]

Boat Trip.

[Sunny_on_SM]

He made so many! "The Fiction Makers" and "Vendetta For The Saint" were more like a cross between two parter Saint episodes and Saint TV movies. As a Saint fan, I'd choose anything Saint he did over other regular movies.

My favourite is "Bullseye!" with RM and Michael Caine. In "The Curse Of The Pink Panther" from what I heard (never saw it) he only makes a tiny appearance at the end. "Bed and Breakfast" is very good, a more serious performance there from Roger.

[elvis-the-burgerking]

The cannonball run now thats a classic but his other films are just as good.

[MarcAngeDraco]

Without giving it all that much thought, my favs are probably:

The Wild Geese
Ffolkes
The Sea Wolves
The Naked Face
Gold

I finally did get to see this movie on television. I think it was on the Sleuth channel.
