The debut 007 films of Sean Connery and Roger Moore, respectively. Which one do you tip your hat off to? In other words, which is your go-to, assuming it's close, with regards to plot, Bond girl, and the villain(s) you consider to be more credible.
It was so much fun connecting with fellow Bond fans, sharing stories, and enjoying Skyfall together.
A big thank you to Downtown Dallas for hosting. If you're in or near the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, shoot me a DM or find me on Instagram @fromdallaswithlove007 to keep up with future events!
In the first shot of the Skyfall opening titles, is that supposed to be young Bond after his parents' death ? And then once we go through the same shot again at the end it him up until the moment he got shot.
Hello everyone! Just wanted to do a quick showcase of all unlocked outfits for 007 First Light on PS5.
I was able to unlock all 39/39 costumes legally and with help from my friends a month after I completed the game with the Platinum Trophy plus all challenges on Story Mode and Tacsim (For now).
Hopefully all exclusive outfits (Coca-Cola, Razer, etc) become available in game for all to enjoy in the very near future.
I've been putting together a Bond reading + watching order based on the chronology of Ian Fleming's novels and short stories rather than the films' release dates.
The idea is to follow the literary source material and watch the corresponding film around it, while also accounting for films that are only loosely based on Fleming or are completely original.
For example:
Casino Royale → Live and Let Die → From Russia with Love → Dr. No → Goldfinger → Thunderball → On Her Majesty's Secret Service → Diamonds Are Forever → You Only Live Twice → The Man with the Golden Gun → For Your Eyes Only → Octopussy → A View to a Kill → The Living Daylights
So I'm curious:
Has anyone here actually watched the 25 Eon Bond films in an order based on the chronology of the novels/stories they're adapted from rather than release order?
If you've tried something similar:
Did it make the evolution of Bond feel different?
First- Bond Ranking
1- Dalton (it was Pierce not long ago but License to kill might be my 3rd favorite movie ever)
2- Brosnan
3- Moore
4- Connery
5- Craig (I’ve expressed this opinion here before but I don’t really care for the Craig era movies other than Casino Royal, he’s probably my second favorite actor right now I just don’t really get that James Bond feeling from him, do love Jeffery Wright as Felix tho)
6- Lazenby (OHMSS wasn’t bad, he only had one showing which knocks him down a bit tho)
My favorite recurring theme is definitely Felix sub plots, which is probably why I love LTK so much, anyone here read the Felix book? The hook and the eye? Thinking abt giving it a read
With that Felix ratings
1- Hedison
2- Wright
3- Lord
4- Burton
5- Linder
6- Terry
7- Van Nutter
M Rankings
1- Bernard Lee (I kinda prefer a hard ass M)
2- Judi Dench
3- Ralph Fieness
4- Robert Brown (him and Moore’s Bond just seem to much like drinking buddies)
Favorite Villain is Scaramanga, Sir Cristopher Lee can kill it in any role and it shows full force in this movie he seems cooler then Bond in every way, which might be because bond is at least partially based on Cristopher Lee who was Ian Flemmings cousin, though Alec Trevelyan starts to sneak up on him just the sense of bond feeling betrayed by 006 the sense he genuinely feels hurt makes me feel something.
Favorite henchman is definitely Mr Wint and Mr Kidd, their just so fun to see together
I love 007 First light more than I do the movies though, i genuinely can’t wait to see what comes with future Sequals
Also Q is still my goat
Oh and bonus fun fact I found out yesterday
Willard Whyte was based off of reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes, Alebert Broccoli got the idea after having a dream that Hughes had been replaced by an imposter, and Jimmy dean the actor for Whyte had been working for Hughes at the time and to get Hughes on board with the interpretation they sent him the first ever 16mm print of every single Bond movie made at that point, also Jimmy Dean is the same guy who would go on to create the Jimmy Dean Sausage Brand.
Tiffany Case was the first American among the main Bond girls.
Between these two space-based Lewis Gilbert-directed 007 flicks, which is more your cup of tea and why?
A few months ago I posted my flatmates ranking of James Bond films. Since then we have upgraded the leaderboard and I wanted to update you fine folk as to their progress.
Previously it was asked if my flatmate was 7 and it was suggested I evict them for their opinions.
For context, they have never watched James Bond. I watched them all as a child with my parents. It's been nostalgic to rewatch them and entertaining to watch my flatmate rank them.
I thought it would be fun to share our progress and invite commentary on this list.
With just a few more movies to go will Timothy Dalton hold on with two films in the top 5...
I can perfectly imagine the Scene.
James is leaving the city, thinking that he kill the Villain in his Castle. But when he is packing his Trunk, a old photo from 1920 fall (this photo show a great party of the beginning of the village), then he notice that the Villain is already there.
So he run to get the Aston Marty and go to the Castle, most fast as possibly. During this, clues from the whole movie appers. When he open the Door, the Villain is stand op, sucking blood of a Bond Sidekick.
Bond begins to say something like : "Oh my god, you are -" Before he can complete the sentence, Dracula continues "The Lord Of Darkness ? The original Evil ? The DRACULA" a thunder fall. Dracula fly in the Bond direction. So begins the final fight all over the city with Dragula from Rob Zombie as Sound Track.
