For Your Eyes Only.

I love that cheesy disco music. It is catchy.

I guess most posters here know this but most of the footage of Bond turning and firing is the same from movie to movie. It was only reshot if the aspect ratio of the movie was going to be different. I only say this as some people here were being very specific about a certain film's walk or pose when it was infact the same bit of footage as the previous movie's!

I'm sure most people know this. If someone is naming LTK as their favorite gunbarrel than they're doing it for a specific reason, namely music. Just because they might cite the walk too doesnt mean they don't realize it's the same footage, besides, I havent noticed anyone hearing saying they liked the AVTAK gunbarrel because of Moore's walk, or liked DAD over GE because Brosnan walked better in it.

The thought just crossed my mind, but there is really no gunbarrel sequence (or even PTS and main title) I didn't like. It's one of those unique aspects which makes Bond so great, you might not adore the entire thing, but you can be sure that a Bond film always has a great start.

I like the ones where Bond kills a guy.

Not necessarily. I personally find the sequence to be rather cheesy and a detriment to the franchise. The only time that I've actually liked the sequence has been in LICENCE TO KILL (where the excellent music and Dalton's walk provided for a sequence that actually got the audience ready for the tone of the film) and QUANTUM OF SOLACE (where the sequence actually meant something). Other than those two films, the gunbarrel sequence has been a rather lame sequence.

Burn the heretic!

I love Goldfinger, DAF, LTK and Goldeneye.

TLD has the perfect Gunbarrel for me; followed by SP & TND. The music, the barrel design, the walk and the final pose is perfect (but different) in all of them.

 

Although, the best one will always be CR, of course... it just doesn't work on its own

For me, it has to be GoldenEye. Brosnan looks confident, and Eric Serra's take on the Bond theme works so well!
