James Bond 007 Films

One thing is for sure, Jane Semour made one of the hottest Bond girls. I mean GODDAMN.
 
My favorite moment in FRWL is when he enters the Istanbul airport with the contact and the code with the cigarette. Connery OOZES with coolness and swagger all at once. With the score kicking in... oh, man it's perfect.

Everything Connery did in FRWL was awesome. My favourite scene is when he goes to the visa office and asks the snappy clark if the time is correct on two occasions before the explosion.

A cool moment in FRWL is when Connery is pacing up the train platform smoking a cigarette with Grant stalking him from within the train carraiges.
 
Connery is one cool cat. That's something Bond movies lost after him, that effortless sense of coolness and ease. The way he would take out a thug, do something amusing and then head off with some strumpet, without breaking sweat. Goldfinegr and Thunderball are the best for this.

Good so far, even though the plane stunt at the beginning was ridiculous and Famke Jansenn (sp?) although very hot is very annoying

I was just a kid when I first saw Live and Let Die. I didn't know what my body was feeling when I first saw Jane Seymour, I just knew that I liked it :awesome:

I love Goldeneye but my God, that plane sequence was just so unbelievable.
 
how many of the Bond films besides Live and Let Die had drug trafficking in the main plot

The first time i saw that sequence, i actually cringed but in actuality it's quite plausible. The chances of someone pulling it off however are like a million to one. I've re-worked that sequence in my head countless times, and always felt it would play better if: Bond rode up to the open door of the plane on the bike, grabbed onto something, like a strap, hanging out of the plane. Since he's still gripping the strap, he is then dragged over the edge of the cliff by the falling plane, and has to pull himself inside the plane, and up to the cock pit before the plane crashes into the mountains below.

Yes. My personal favourite example of this is the PTS of Goldfinger with the white tuxedo underneath the wetsuit.
 
I just watched License To Kill. I love the idea of Bond going rogue, but the plot itself was just weak. There's some cheesy stuff too. I hates Bond in America in the first act of the film. That whole part just looked cheap to me.

But Carey Lowell. Man oh, man. She's one of the very, very rare women who pulls off short hair very well and makes it sexy. That's my type of Bond girl.

It had still done the revenge thing much better than Quatum of Solace, and don't get me started about Diamonds are Forever.
 
Eh, the whole set up with Felix and his wife was kind of weak in its execution to me. Plus the shark stuff was cheesy. I actually preferred QOS's revenge story. Because it at least had Vesper's death from CR to go from.
 
^ I just wish QoS went a bit deeper and wasn't trying to rip off a bourne film.

The problem with Bond directors who aren't Martin Campbell today is that they either try to stock it with action (tomorrow Never Dies, QoS), make it campy (The World is Not Enough), both (Die Another Day), or they just aren't good enough to go deeper (All of them except The World is Not Enough).
 
Forget Campbell, we need a director like Terrence Young again. Still the best Bond director ever.
 
A director similar Terrence Young would be good. I like when James Bond is more like an exciting Spy Thriller than an action film.

Too bad you can't get Terrence Young himself :csad:

Yeah, LTK has it's weak moments but that's mostly because of EON productions. In another case of omitting things from one book and throwing them into another Felix's injuries should have been in LALD, but it was moved to LTK for no reason. I didn't feel the marriage was cheesy. Felix is Bond's best friend, and Della is one of Bond's past girlfriends marrying his best bud. After what happened to them of course he went off the farm.
