Your TOP 5 Bond Pre-Titles/Teasers

I think Casino Royale shouldbe up there. That was just damn cool.

 

Mine are:

For Your Eyes Only -Best gunbarrel song of ALL the Bonds!
The Living Daylights
The Spy Who Loved Me
Casino Royale
Goldeneye.

I actually like ALL of Roger Moore's pre-Title scenes with the exception of Live and Let Die.

 

Case in point, 'The World Is not Enough'.

 

goldeneye was my all-time fave!
along with the living daylights and diamonds are forever

 

I'd argue, even as crappy as the movie was, the opening sequence in North Korea for Die Another Day was cool.

 

My top five
Casino Royale
Goldeneye
The Living Daylights
The Spy Who Loved Me
Tomorrow Never Dies

Honorable Mention: Everything or Nothing

 

1. The Spy Who Loved Me
2. You Only Live Twice
3. Licence to Kill
4. The World is Not Enough
5. For Your Eyes Only

 

That's why I liked it.
It was simple, short, and to the point.
And I loved the use of Black and white.
I kinda wished the whole movie was that way.

 

The crane chase is CS is really the 'pre-title' sequence, even though it's post title. It's the spectacular stunt scene to set the mood for the rest of the film.

 

1. Goldfinger
2. Goldeneye
3. The Spy Who Loved Me
4. The World is Not Enough
5. Casino Royale

 

I like all the Roger Moore pre-titles like i said, with the exception of LALD but CR gave us something special; something we've only dreamt about but had never seen; him acquiring his '00' status. That is why so many ppl will always find a special place in their hearts for it as time goes on.

And i think the whole point of making CR, casting Craig and re-vamping the franchise, so to speak, was to get away from the nonsense..

 

Goldeneye is number 1

 

It's a balancing act, isn't it? Bond can never be taken completely seriously, and is never intended to be 100% serious. Even in Licence to Kill.

Nor is it a a silly joke, it is supposed to be exciting and you do invest int he characters and storyline. It's a balancing act. If the movies get too light, i.e. Diamonds are Forever, it doesn't work, if they get too heavy, i.e. Licence to Kill, peopel don't like it. It's hard to describe exactly how Bond is done, and many posters will no doubt shout, "What are you talking about? Bond is supposed to be a serious trained killer." But the movies have always had a sly wink to the audience. The union jack parachute in TSWLM is perfect. It is a joke, but it's serious at the same time - and it's also an amazing stunt.

 

1.Goldeneye
2.Casino Royale
3.The world is not enough(after that it get's really dull)
4.The Spy Who loved me
5.The Living Daylights

 

But Fleming's Bond WASN'T, hence my point about re-vamping the franchise.

 

It took Connery and Lazenby 7 movies to get to Blofeld, it takes Moore 6 minutes and 38 seconds!

Moore FTW!
