The Living Daylights... haven't seen it in awhile. It's a lot better than I remembered

Right around Christmas I watched The Spy Who Loved Me and then a couple of nights later A View To A Kill. I still have a soft spot for both of them.

I just finished transferring to DVD-R the uncut version of the 1954 Casino Royale, so I may in a couple of weeks start watching the series in order on a weekly basis.

just finished watching Goldfinger on blu-ray not even 15 minuets ago, i didnt think this possible but, its even more brilliant compared to DVD!! Really nice and a true gem.

The Spy Who Loved Me on G4's Bond marathon.

Dr. No. I finally got around to rewatching it to honor the memory of Joseph Wiseman and Zena Marshall who both passed away last year. I hadn't watched it in ages but I thoroughly loved it! I'd forgotten how good it is. Wiseman makes a terrific villain and his ominous voice of doom makes him a classic Bond heavy. I like the fact that the first Bond film featured such elements as a super megalomaniac, sci-fi plot elements and Ken Adam sets. The structure and formula are so solid in DN, it's easy to see why EON more or less remade it about 3 times with the Lewis Gilbert films. As one of the 2 007 films he got to see before his passing away, I'm sure Ian Fleming loved it.

Kudos also to Connery, Jack Lord(the first and best Leiter), Bernard Lee, John Kitzmiller and the first gallery of amazingly beautiful Bond women(Ursula Andress, Zena Marshall, Eunice Gayson, Margaret Le Wars and Lois Maxwell) and of course Terence Young for making it such an enjoyable viewing experience.

Watched Casino Royale the other night...I'll NEVER get tired of it.. Still is #1 on my favorites list!

From Russia with Love on the BBC last night. The best fun I've had since I saw The Great Gatsby on Friday night!

I watched Moonraker today. Being time poor, it was the first time in a long time I sat down and completely watched a Bond film in full without fast forwarding.

It struck me how brilliantly paced the film is. Sure, go ahead and hate the space sequences – I don’t, but up until where the shuttles take off, I seriously cannot see how people can hate the film. Set piece after set piece, each one as entertaining as the last.

[Bucky]

Quantum of Solace. Watched it Wednesday before going to class that evening. Never get tired of it.

Exactly, sharpshooter. It's one of the smoothest paced Bond films that just flows very well as it goes thru the basic Bond formula. I also like how MR is one of those Bond films where the 2 main supporting characters(the villain and the heroine) are introduced early on and have huge roles throughout the picture. Some films have Bond meet the villain early on and the heroine isn't involved until we're about halfway thru(GF, OP) or the heroine early on and the villain halfway thru(OHMSS, DAF) but MR features them both early on. And I love the outer space scenes. They make for a good variation on the standard final battle/villain's HQ-that-explodes type sequence.

As for me, I watched Goldfinger for the first time in ages. As always, a Bond classic and a very satisfying example of a "duel-between-titans" style 007 film. It's easy to see why the public took to it and why EON wanted to return to its style of Bond film when Guy Hamilton returned to the series with DAF and and why EON later remade it(more or less) twice as OP(very well) and AVTAK(not nearly as good).

I love the official trailer for it-



"Double-0-Seven. It spells BOND!"

A bit of GoldenEye the other night.

[Attempting Re-entry]

I did an unintentionally bizarre double bill of Octopussy and Quantum of Solace the other night; they just happened to be the last two movies I hadn't yet watched on DVD.

Enjoyable in different ways, but talk about contrast....Quantum of Solace has really jumped up in my estimation after that viewing; I absolutely loved it. I found Octopussy to be a little underwhelming...and Roger's outfits just weren't up to his usual standard! Those bodywarmers....

[elizabeth]

My favorite, The Man With the Golden Gun!

[Cuish]

Licence to Kill and Thunderball a couple of weekends ago.

[Mr. Somerset]

Moonraker sometime last week. Got to the cable car sequence and had to cut it short. Still. love MR for what it is, though I prefer FYEO.

[Attempting Re-entry]

Watched From Russia with Love on Saturday night...great stuff.

I'm actually about to begin working through the second discs on each Ultimate Edition DVD now that I've watched them all.

[Mr. Somerset]

LTK last night in honor of Timothy's birthday. It was good. I liked it.

[The Dove]

Did a double feature of Thunderball and Goldeneye about a week ago..

[Guy Haines]

Casino Royale, on ITV1, last Saturday night. Enjoyed it in spite of the commercial breaks.

[elizabeth]

A tiny bit of Casino Royale '06 yesterday.

[Attempting Re-entry]

Watched The Man With the Golden Gun on Friday night - it was superb. Again.

[elizabeth]

An awesome day of Connery Bonds yesterday: Goldfinger, FRWL, DAF, and YOLT

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

Die Another Day. It really is the worst Bond movie so ever made (perhaps tied with Diamonds Are forever)

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

The Spy Who Loved Me. I'll try to watch Moonraker this week.

[Double-0-7]

Just finished watching You Only Live Twice

[DamnCoffee]

I haven't watched a Bond film in a good while. I'm in the mood for From Russia With Love, though.

[Tybre]

Watched FRWL and LALD on Thursday, and caught about the first twenty minutes of CR on Syfy before tiredness won out.

[DamnCoffee]

Die Another Day was on TV last night. Bloody terrible, but still good fun.

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

Bloody terrible, but still good fun.

Lol, definitely! It's a film I hate to love!!!

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Diamonds Are Forever
