According to the Barbican there will be a digital big screen showing of OHMSS next year to mark the 40th anniversary of what is one of the very best Bond films.Looks like Park Circus will do a tour of OHMSS too.

Great news. I will definitely go back to London town. First off, to see my favorite film where it deserves to be seen. Second off, to try to find the half-dozen British peeps who called out to me in the fog: 'Bob's your uncle, mate!' I bloody well know he's my uncle. But he died ten years ago. So...how did he make it to London? I really must find him--he owes us all dough.

I've already seen OHMSS on the big screen.

But I dare say I could force myself to sit through it again. :tup:

Yeah I'm also glad that this brilliant Bond movie hasn't been forgotten. I would love to see my favorite Bond movie on the big screen. :tup:

So have I, but I was too young to appreciate it. I'd love to have the opportunity again.

If it's the UE version, should be a blast, especially the soundtrack. Lucky Brits. :tup:

I grew up on the Connery films starting with Dr. No but to my surprise OHMSS won me over in the theatre in about 2 seconds flat.

I have never seen OHMSS on the big screen. Is this going to happen in the States, as well?

Yep. It does it's own unique Bond thing so very very well. Would that they all, so many Bond films seem to just want to get by for most of their run-times. OHMSS may not be the perfect Bond film (will there ever be such a beast?), but it's always been very easy for me to appreciate its wonderful stab at Bond perfection.

Excellent - I hadn't spotted the word 'digital' in there. On Her Majesty

Anyone else think we should style CB.n for OHMSS's 40th anniversary next year? :tup:
