Octopussy!


FYEO

then,

TSWLM

[Clonemenace]

I will admit I have never seen a Roger Moore bond flick. What would be a recommended one for a first one to see and why?

[Qwerty]

Welcome to the CommanderBond.net Forums Clonemenace!

Never seen a Roger Moore Bond film before? You're in for a treat then.

I'd personally recommend The Spy Who Loved Me if you want to go for the one that seems to have the most fan appeal (it's also Roger Moore's personal favourite) or Live And Let Die if you want to watch them in chronological order.

[Daddy Bond]

A View to a Kill is definitely the VERY BEST BOND MOVIE EVER! Except for maybe NSNA or DAF.

HA HA! Okay, I've had my laugh!

Seriously? TSWLM is #1 in my book!

[Clonemenace]

Thanks for the info and the kind welcome Qwerty. I'm not a picky person so it wouldn't matter which movie I saw first. I was looking into purchasing Live and Let Die. I'm still up in the air about that.

[Qwerty]

If you're thinking about purchasing the Bond films on DVD, you may want to wait a few months for the special updated editions to be released. Details following...

1. Moonraker
2. For Your Eyes Only
3. The Man With The Golden Gun
4. Octopussy
5. The Spy Who Loved Me
6. Live And Let Die
7. A View To A Kill

contrary to most people (and please excuse my bad taste!~) but i loooved moonraker! it has my fav music, and to me there just seems to be something that feels right about it (many of you mite think there's something right about tswlm). maybe all the exotic locations and gadgets, they did a good job of going into space i reckon, but moore seemed to act the part a little too well, almost as though hes been in space before and knows what its like to run through corridors with space just outside.. oh and i really liked the large amount of bad humour in it (and all that advertising) hahaha

FYEO used to be a movie i didnt like, then over the last 6 months ive come to love it-all that snow stuff and the lack of huge action-sort of like frwl, and even the contemporary early 80s music! haha

TMWTGG i like a lot, again showing my evident bad taste, but the asian setting was good, and the scenes from meeting lazar to jumping on the queen mary was brilliant!! scaramaga is my fav villain and maud was awesome, pity she was killed off! moore was best looking in either this or spy

Octopussy had a bit of everything and was a good all rounder to me. louis jordan is probably my 2nd or 3rd fav villian

TSWLM was good, but not great in my eyes only hehe. i liked everything in egypt, anya was hot but monotonous, the car is my 2nd fav (i now have a 1991 mazda astina 323-white with pop up headlights hehe), how good was it going off the wharf!!! but stromberg was boring and i didnt like the last 1/3 with the sub and everything

LALD had a mad boat chase! and a great snippet of music is when moore's on the alligator island and the brass comes in hehehe. i think it was a bit too voodoo for bond so its not too high on my moore list, and the watch... i want!!!! cuts rope and can bring spoons and boats closer to you! hahahaha

AVTAK is on the bottom of the list.. i wonder why.. i didnt think there was much good in this movie, maybe the chase around paris, and that deleted scene is funny with the french police (on DVD)! but i reckon moore was waay too old!


well i think that about does it for moore, oh and a moore line im desperate to pull off on a chick is of course!:

"well i had lunch, but i seem to have missed desert"

[BMT-216A]

thanks man! oh, i sent a pm to one of the admins about changing my name from BMT-216A to BMT 216A (with a space) and they said it was changed, it doesnt appear to be... if it cant be, thats ok, i'll live.!~

[DLibrasnow]

A View to a Kill is definitely the VERY BEST BOND MOVIE EVER! Except for maybe NSNA.

I know you were being funny, but I actually love both of those movies....they are in my Top 5.

[Vanish]

I've already explained my choice for my favorite Moore flick a few pages back, but here's how I feel they all land, best to worst:

1) The Man with the Golden Gun
2) The Spy Who Love Me
3) A View to a Kill
4) Octopussy
5) Live and Let Die
6) For Your Eyes Only
7) Moonraker

It's strange, I used to be very, very fond of FYEO - But over the past few years, my enthusiasm for it has declined.

[DaveBond21]

My list goes like this:-

1) FYEO
2) TSWLM
3) Octopussy
4) Moonraker
5) AVTAK
6) LALD
7) TMWTGG

I love both FYEO and TSWLM. FYEO just shades it, as it is a proper spy thriller with Moore playing the part of 007 relatively straight & serious. I love the snow scenes and Corfu, and I always enjoy the keel-hauling sequence and even the throwaway with Blofeld at the start.

TSWLM is wonderful too, a greatest hits package of everything that is good about Bond.

[Agent Carter]

I love Roger Moore,and personally think he's the best Bond. Having said that I voted for "The Man with the golden Gun" as my favorite.

So did I. TMWTGG is one the best! IMHO.

Nic Nac rules!

[DanMan]

For me, right now, it's a tie between LALD and TMWTGG.

[The Richmond Spy]

My Moore list has shuffled a bit in the past year:

1) The Spy Who Loved Me
2) Octopussy
3) The Man With The Golden Gun
4) Moonraker
5) For Your Eyes Only
6) A View To A Kill
7) Live and Let Die

[ThunderhearT]

I have to say I really liked the Man with the Golden Gun

But TSWLM is my favorite

[Qwerty]

But TSWLM is my favorite

Excellent choice.

[DaveBond21]

TSWLM is an excellent movie, and it is often called a "Greatest hits Package" of everything that is good about 007.

It is basically the same plot as YOLT, but is far more fun to watch.

[Qwerty]

TSWLM is an excellent movie, and it is often called a "Greatest hits Package" of everything that is good about 007.

...and it works. Greatest hits or not, they made everything work for that movie.

[all bond]

Hmmm...I just saw LALD again and it left a different impression this time than the other times i've seen it...I'd probably have to put it between MR and FYEO now.

[DamnCoffee]

I love TSWLM its a really strong Bond movie and it's the first one i ever saw so i will always have a special place in my heart for it

[Thunderfinger]

1.FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
2.THE SPY WHO LOVED ME
3.LIVE AND LET DIE
4.OCTOPUSSY
5.THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN 2
6.A VIEW TO A KILL
7.MOONRAKER

(Roger Moore made better Bond films as The Saint than he did in Moonraker)

[DamnCoffee]

Whats with 'The man with the Golden Gun 2' Thunderfinger?

[Thunderfinger]

Well,Goldfinger was the first man with a golden gun.

[DamnCoffee]

lol good job

[Quartermaster007]

For Your Eyes Only for me. Great cast, Roger gives a great performance and the action scenes are marvelous.

[scottright]

"The Spy Who Loved Me"...it's not even close. It's not just great Roger Moore Bond...it's great Bond. Way off the beaten track from Ian Fleming, but visually stunning and wholly entertaining. I'm still surprised how well this one holds together, after all these years.

1977 was a good vintage for Bond.

[DanMan]

1) Live And Let Die
2) The Man With The Golden Gun
3) For Your Eyes Only
4) The Spy Who Loved Me
5) A View To A Kill
6) Octopussy
7) Moonraker

[Sunny_on_SM]

For Your Eyes Only is my favourite. Loved everything about it, its realism, women, music, villains. I liked the part where Roger kicks the bad guy's car off the cliff, glad they decided to go with it instead of just him throwing the pin to Locque and the mercedes falling off on its own. The scene in the movie was most dramatic. Also thought that Bond climbing to the top of the cliff with Melina watching him and worried about his safety was another dramatic scene, done very well. The music throughout the movie fitted its mood, too.

Second favourite - The Spy Who Loved Me

Third - Live And Let Die

Others were great, too, but these are my top three.
