If you are not familiar with the term "comfort food", it means a snack or a meal that puts you in a good mood, maybe something you reach for when you are feeling down.

Is there a Bond scene or film that is your James Bond "comfort food"?

Mine is the pre-credit sequence from The Living Daylights. After I watch that - I am on top of the world.

I also love watching Lazenby beat the snot out of the beach thugs in OHMSS - but then I get caught up and have to watch the whole thing.

[Tarl_Cabot]

I love those two scenes too...the pretitle Goldfinger works for me.

[Loomis]

THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN. But all the Moores are good comfort food.

[Genrewriter]

Pretty much all of LTK, the pretitle sequence of DAD, the plane fight in Octopussy.

[Kara Milovy]

I'm a romantic. I go for Bond & Kara on the ferris wheel, or Bond and Tanya and the little black ribbon.

[Tarl_Cabot]

FRWL is the best comfort food actually...I watched the night I saw DAD to cleanse myself of my bitterness.

[Bryce (003)]

Any of the SE DVD "Inside" docs. If I don't feel like a whole Bond film, the Behind-the-scenes stuff is great.

If I do need to comfort myself with a full dose of Bond any of the following are the one's I initially reach for.

FRWL
LTK
YOLT
TSWLM
MR
OHMSS
GE

[tonymascia1]

Practically all the pre-title sequences do it for me --- especially the ones from OP ("fill 'er up, please"), TLD ("make it two"), and GE.

I also get "revved up" from the title sequences and music rolling from OHMSS and GE.

[Agent 76]

The pre-titles of The Living Daylights is a full energy force for me! I love it!

[Jeff007]

I've always enjoyed throwing in Thunderball and watching the Chemin de Fur game, or when Bond has all those great lines with Domino. Cheers me up all the time. Also, the 1987 Happy Anniversary 007 VHS with Roger is another great "comfort food" for myself.

[blofeldblows]

As of this post i need some comfort food. Had a rough day at school. Didn't know the girl i was going after had a guy.......Any suggestions as to what i should watch?

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

LTK in general

GE - in and around the shootout in the archives

TND - the shootout on the stealth boat

DAD - Pierce walking into the hotel after he's just escaped from the ship and swam through the harbor


I know that feeling Blofeldblows, watch LTK...try not to dwell on it...it feels like now but you'll be fine eventually.

Batman from 1989. Where the Joker sees Vikki is with Batman but says "She is about to trade UP!"

[blofeldblows]

Not here wanting sympathy or anything but i feel like i should elaborate. This girl and i have had great conversations and we've had great times together in class and just but in my 6th hour i went over to talk to her at her computer and she had her email up from her boyfriend.It was awkward because she asked why did i have that look on my face...I think she knew what i meant by my expression. Moral of the day: Always find out if the girl is single before you go after her. Pretty hard to take right now, but i honestly think i would start balling in tears if i had to watch OHMSS right now. LTK could work.

Tough break pal, I've been there. Maybe not a movie, but a hell of a lot of Sinatra and a few Martini's. "I Guess I'll have to Change my Plans" Song should do the trick.
"I guess I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man......."

Or if that fails... "The Lady is a Tramp" lol.

But don't worry, plenty of Bond Girls out there for you....

[blofeldblows]

Thanks guys to be honest i think im gonna go buy Batman Begins, thought it was a hell of a movie.

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

I'll give it anyway because I know how that is, the last 2 years have not been good to me and in the last month it's all been washed away. People were worried about me because I was walking around smiling a few days ago. The worst thing you can do is let it bother you to the point of shutting down. From experience, you'll find someone single...and she'll be just as great if not better.

but i honestly think i would start balling in tears if i had to watch OHMSS right now. LTK could work.

Been there. LTK works and Batman is definitely a great choice too.

You could always watch the spa scene or the helicopter pulling away scene in Goldeneye, or in TWINE, right after Zukovsky "frees" Bond from the torture chair ("I never miss") --- good for what ails you.

[Qwerty]

Movie: The Spy Who Loved Me or Moonraker

Scene: Naomi's wink

[Joyce Carrington]

Any of the SE DVD "Inside" docs. If I don't feel like a whole Bond film, the Behind-the-scenes stuff is great.

Agree. Those things are quite good.

As for actual movie or scenes from the movies, my comfort food lies mainly in the Brosnan era, since it was the era that really got me into Bond. Tomorrow Never Dies was the one that started it all for me, so that's certainly one to reach for.

[Dalton's Wendy]

I agree with Kara: (Bond and Kara at the top of the ferris wheel) --

I agree with Tony: ("Make that two hours" from TLD's pre-title sequence) --

I also love the 3 trailers on the "extras" section of the TLD DVD:

BOND. DANGEROUS. DALTON.

-- and . . . I have to admit . . . don't tell Timothy I said this, but --

-- almost every minute of Goldfinger. It's the ultimate early sixties movie!

[Byron]

Nothing like a couple of adana char-grilled kebabs drizzled with lots of lemon juice whilst watching TLD.

A couple of imported German beers - Franziskaner dark is a particular favourite - are also a must.

[stromberg]

No need to "import" those. Not from where I'm standing.

Mmm. Franziskaner.


Bond comfort food:

FRWL - entire movie,but in particular: Bond searching the hotel room for bugs, then tosses the phone on the bed but keeps the receiver in his hand.

TSWLM - special comfort is the precredits, usually get hooked on it. Also: "sillouhette" shot in doorway before entering Fekesh's house.

OHMSS - particularly: barn escape - ski chase - avalanche

I recommend GoldenEye

[blofeldblows]

I'd like to thank you guys for your suggestions, I feel like theres a hole in my heart but my head is out of it. You guys were actually more receptive than my pal who usually helps people with these issues. Just another reason why CBn is the best forum ever.

[TheSaint]

Bond comfort food? Interesting. Probably the pre-titles to either Goldfinger or FYEO.

[DanMan]

TWINE. It has the most Bondian feel of all of Brosnan's movies and it's very nostalgic for me.

Moonraker

Whenever I work on the computer and want some background noise, I put on Moonraker or Octopussy.

But my comfort is always watching the pre-title sequences. I can watch those over and over again in one sitting sometimes.

[BlackFelix]

In "Thunderball" and all the sequences more specific, the Bathtub scene with Fiona. Perfection on Connery's underplayed emotion. Also, the for some odd reason: the "Bond....Dangerous....Dalton....Dangerous" trailer from The Living Daylights. It always puts me in a good mood, its the clips and the music. It's a perfect bond trailer.
