Just a little heads up, Encore is doing 17 Bonds in a row (in chronological order), from Dr. No to Licence to Kill (Yes, Never Say Never Again will be included).

It all starts on Saturday, June 4 at 6am EDT on Encore and 9am EDT on Encore West and will run well into Sunday afternoon/evening.

I wonder if any of them will be shown in letterbox format...

Is anybody watching this marathon? I have it on, and YOLT is showing with the Ninja battle in Blofeld's volcano lair taking place. I had Dr. No on this morning at 3:00a.m., and it definitely ranks at #5 for Connery's official films. I like Bond and Quarrel, but everyone else seems dull and lifeless. Connery's sequels are bigger improvements.

I caught the last few minutes of FRWL and the start of GF with all of the Bond promos in between. Encore does a great job with these film. Neither of those films were shown in letterbox format.

Nice to hear finally about a channel that does well with these films.
