odd that, only last saturday in a pub I was asked to name all 21 films, like that thread.....

Also, got asked with theme songs Shirley Bassy sung as someone thought she did GoldenEye but it was obviously Tina Turner

Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever and Moonraker

Or Bond Theme tunes.

View To A Kill would be my favourite Bond theme tune and probably one of my fave Bond films.

 For Your Eyes Only......Craig's sister Sheena.

Best Bond Theme Tunes:

Goldfinger
The Spy Who Loved Me (Nobody does it Better)
Live and Let Die
On her Majesties Secret Service
Not sure about 5th place, maybe the one Garbage did, Tomorrow Never Dies? Good tune.

Garbage did The World is not Enough....

Sheryl Crow did Tomorrow Never Dies.

The world is not enough was what I was thinking of. Shit film, good tune.

We have far too much in common DV. A fairly in depth knowledge of Mario and Bond so far.

I know....

....The World is not Enough was where Bond got a bit too unrealistic. GoldenEye was probably the last one I actually enjoyed.

Tomorrow Never Dies is ok, The World is not Enough and Die Another Day were pretty poor, esp Die Another Day.....Casino Royale wasnt much better.

....and hopefully tomorrow I've got the box set with all 21 James Bond films being delivered!

[flammableBen]

Yay.

I like tomorrow never dies, especially with the thinly veiled R. Murdochness. The remote control car + crazy mobile thing, wasn't that unrealistic. Unlike Die Another Day which is better forgotten.

I like (the new, proper bond film) Casino Royale, although I think they're starting to put pressure on Bond becoming a bit more emotional. It's been done with On her Majesties Secret Service, but I think it should have some fairly extreme events for Bond to show proper emotion, especially if it's going to effect his performance in his job.

Tomorrow Never Dies was a good film, but not as good as GoldenEye before it....but since then its been a bit crap.

Die Another Day in my opinion is by far the worst one, too over the top and un-realistic and in some cases even hard to follow!

I didnt like Casino Royale, I can see what angle they were going for 'Bond before he was Bond' or what 'made Bond Bond' but without the usual chases, gadgets etc it just doesnt feel like a Bond film. You know the catch phrases and wise cracks arent there, last of all I dont like Daniel Craig as James Bond, good actor yes....but James Bond isnt a bodybuilding, wax chested blonde man....he's dark and has a hairy chest!

Maybe thats just me, too much of a tradionalist but they do try to change Bond every now and again. In the Dalton films he's completley different, a bit edgier.....

I sort of see what you're getting at, but I think in some ways Craig has been playing much more of a classic bond, definitely compared to    Pierce Brosnan anyway.

It does make a bit of a random mix though. I don't really take much interest in the fact he's supposed to be just learning and stuff. I mean it's not as if the bond series has had that much continuity.
