I agree there SAF with Viper, I'm at 'Moonraker' currently with my Blu-ray viewings and they do look so crisp and sharp, the colour and picture is wonderful and I've noticed things I hadn't before due to the detail and picture quality. A great joy to have them given so much attention.

I might just be upgrading my DVD drive in my PC to a Blu Ray drive and buying Bond 50, if I can find it, after all.

Tonight's a good night to watch Moonraker..

[Ed83]

Watching You Only Live Twice tonight.  Going to try out the Audio Commentary on the Blu-ray for the first time.  Should be fun.

[The Dove]

In the mood for Diamonds Are Forever tonight..

[ViperSRT87]

I still haven't gotten around to watching Diamonds Are Forever! 

[Ed83]

Watching Live And Let Die tonight.

Back on my Bond50 Blu-ray viewing now after a week holiday - straight in with 'Moonraker' tonight...

[The Dove]

(It's funny how the recent Bond 24 rumors about Sam Mendes and Mrs. Javier Bardem have suddenly re-ignited my need to do another Bond film marathon..lol)

 

Think I'll be going for a Dalton flick tonight with The Living Daylights..

[thecasinoroyale]

'Moonraker' done, and even though it's very tongue in cheek, it's also very entertaining! Some great action sequences and fights, but also a stunning film to look at with the set design and locations used (overlooked by the cheesy gags).

 

And funny, Jaws wasn't as annoying as I used to think either. He comes across pretty smart and has some priceless facial expressions that sum up the Roger Moore era I think...when the speedboat turns into a hang-glider for one. His look sums up everyone else's I think!

 

 

More serious tonight with 'For Your Eyes Only' and the greatest use of a cow-bell in a gunbarrel theme EVER. Can't wait for that tune.

[thecasinoroyale]

'For Your Eyes Only' done.

 

Another eye-opener and an actual change of view to this film - possibly one of the best balanced Moore films in terms of his trademark humour and the serious thriller/action sequences.

 

Some highlights were the escape from Gonzale's hideout; great action from Moore and the stunt team, the Citroen chase is actually really well filmed and the soundtrack is perfect for the 80s transition.

 

Great characters with Melina, Aris and Milos - a great cat-and-mouse relationship with Bond perfectly in the middle. Moore is obviously restrained and is easily trying to portay at more down to earth Bond and it works at times, but others I miss his usual smooth style.

 

On the whole, some great action sequences produced, great stunt work and good characters that you can believe in with nothing too far fetched.

 

I look foward to a bit more comfortable Bond ground with 'Octopussy' next...

[The Dove]

Bond double feature day today...Octopussy (in honor of its 30th anniversary) and then Skyfall (think this will be my 17th viewing of this cinematic masterpiece!!.)

[Agent 76]

I also will see Octopussy today, to honor its 30th anniversary. 

[MooseWithFleas]

Moonraker. It's just so fun

[Ed83]

Watching Octopussy tonight to celebrate the 30th anniverary of my favorite bond film.

[x007AceOfSpades]

I can't find myself to stomach another viewing of Octopussy again.

[Ed83]

I can't find myself to stomach another viewing of Octopussy again.

 

Did you just watch it recently?

[x007AceOfSpades]

Last month I did. I never liked it. Probably never will.

[The Dove]

Watching Die Another Day right now...

[thecasinoroyale]

'Octopussy' done, and a wonderful watch for the 30th.

 

Glady my appreciation and view on this film hasn't changed, if anything it just brought back to me the wonderful array of vibrancy, spectacle and location scouting used to really make this a memorable Bond. From the exciting chases and meetings in India, to the highlight of espionage and action in Berlin, this is a solid Moore entry of what Bond should be about - fun, yet serious with a firm story and great characters.

 

Loved Louis Jordan in the role as Khan, even more wonderfully sly and smooth, and it's easily Maud Adam's best Bond girl role, beating Andrea Anders in looks, personality and pathos.

 

Just a wonderfully entertaining film overall and a solid Bond film with lots of excellent production design and stuntwork - the Tuk Tuk chase and Berlin steam train sequence are always standout for me.

 

Now ready for the finale of the Moore era with 'A View To A Kill' tonight...

[The Dove]

Double feature night for me....Tomorrow Never Dies and The Spy Who Loved Me..

[MooseWithFleas]

A View to a Kill this week! Will be watching the commentaries and making of docs 

[The Dove]

In the mood to watch Goldfinger tonight...

[Guy Haines]

I'm in need of some cheering up at the moment, so I'll probably watch a Roger Moore Bond film later on. Any Moore film will do. Probably more than one. I've been critical of them in the past, but they are undeniably fun action spectacles, and if you are in the right mood are good to watch. Plus, they are a reminder of my youth, when Bond movies were eagerly anticipated in the summer months every couple of years or so.
