Since the latest Bond flick opens today, here is my list of 10 favorite.
(I did not spend a lot of time on this!)
1. From Russia with Love (1962)
2.On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
3. Dr. No (1962)
4. Diamonds are Forever (1971)
5. Live and Let Die (1973)
6. Casino Royale (2006)
7. Moonraker (1971)
8. Octopussy (1983)
9. For Your Eyes Only (1981)
10. The Living Daylights (1987)
Note: Goldfinger, which is supposedly the best, is perhaps the one Bond film I have not seen, although perhaps I have and I don't remember it right off-hand.
The Living Daylights made the list because I'm the only person in the world who cares for its theme song by A-ha.
LIVE AND LET DIE, Tilly? Yecch! Oh, MOONRAKER is a 1979 release, and A-ha performed the title song from THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS(1987), not LICENSE TO KILL, although "License" is a much better film.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that "Majesty's Secret Service" features a X-mas song, "Do You Know How Christmas Trees are Grown"?
ReplyDeleteWhat about THE SPY WHO LOVED ME? First appearance of Jaws, lovely title song, the ski parachute jump, that gorgeous Lotus-cum-submarine, Curt Jurgens' beady-eyed malevolence!
ReplyDeleteI will correct the A-ha mistake. Whoops again!
