Roger Moore's opinions of his own films?

As for the other films,
TSWLM is his favorite.
LALD is his second favorite.
TMWTGG he thinks is a good film.
OCT is better than he remembers. Which is odd because I distinctly remember him telling reporters in '83 that this was his second favorite.
MR: my memory is fuzzy here but I believe he said that he doesn't care for science fiction films but this is well done of its kind.
FYEO: going by Freemo's post elsewhere I suspect it belongs here but I may be wrong!
AVTAK is his least favorite.

I've not heard Moore's FYEO commentary yet. Will some kind soul please tell me what he thinks of the film?

I haven't heard any of his commentaries. All I know about FYEO is that Moore really disliked the scene where he kicked the car off the cliff. He felt it was Fleming's Bond in that scene, but it wasn't his Bond.

We'll have to revisit this thread in October for the verdict from Moore once and for all!

Ah, they changed it. For a while it was already to be sent out within a few days.
Yes, Amazon frequently does that; also possible they switch back or that some orders will indeed be shipping early. All a bit mysterious, most likely a question of logistics one assumes.
Or just plain whim...

I think that summerises the problem with the Bond movies of the 70s & 80s pretty well.
ETA: A similar line was taken by Dalton when he wanted Bond to sleep with only one woman per-film as thought Bond was somehow responsible for the spread of AIDS....
It should be a rule of thumb that Fleming's Bond is always the most interesting and thrilling - update, tone down or soften up Bond at your peril.

This is actually a pretty damn good ranking.

I'm think he stated in his book, he was against kicking the car for reasons you've said, but in the end he agreed the director was right.

I seem to remember him writing in My Word is my Bond that he feels Moonraker is too 'farfetched', which I can agree with.
