I had read somewhere that "CASINO ROYALE" was a big favorite with women. What about "ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE"? Do you think that men prefer it more or women? Or do you think that the question of gender is irrevelant?

The appreciation of a good film has no gender, age or race barriers.

Well put.

I'm sure it's pretty neutral. My wife and I both love it.

Well since doublenoughtspy is a man, I’ve got to give it to the men. Probably dead even with him factored out.

Well put.

But is it accurate?

For example, Dark Knight may be an excellent film, but I guarantee that my six year old son would hate it at this point in his life if he saw it (which he won't at six).

Regarding "race barriers", the idea of differenct races among humans was an idea of Charles Darwin's who wrongfully taught that blacks were either less developed or developed from a different line of apes. Thus Darwin held to multiple "races" of humans.

This is a huge pile of horse dung of course, and Darwin was a complete idiot.

So references to "races" among human beings is actually unintentional prejudice. There is ONE human race, but multiple ethnicities. Even if one is an evolutionist, most evolutionists would seek to trace the one human race to a single common ancestor. Tragically, Hitler, Stalin, Marx and others followed Darwin's teaching and believed it to be true and used evolution to justify their promotion of the "super race" and their hatred and murder of the Jews, the blacks and Christians (of whom over 1 million were killed in concentration camps - something many people are not aware of).

From an idealistic point of view, I agree.

It's probably one of those women love most, but there might still be more men who like it simply because there might be more male Bond fans than female ones. Who knows.

[Aris007]

I don't htink that gender is significant! If you are a Bond, fan you like it! If you are not, you don't!

[DamnCoffee]

I've never thought of Bond films appealing to any particular gender. If you like it, you like it. Simple as.

OHMSS is probably the only Bond film my wife and I totally and utterly love. Other Bond films.....well, she's a fan almost as much as I am, but we're constantly arguing about which ones are better than others!

Yes.
But the appreciation of Daniel Craig coming out of the sea in swimming trunks might be a tad gender related. Just a tad
