I’m not a huge fan of the films but the songs are a different matter entirely. I think my favorite of the films is Goldfinger, the idea of killing with gold paint is so weird but nearly believable and the character Oddjob who could kill people by throwing his hat at them, absurd but very imaginative. I’d love to win a copy of the book. Thanks for the chance.
A View To A Kill. Duran Duran theme song. And not the unrecognizable Duran Duran of today, but the band of the 80’s.
From Russia with Love. Because….Sean Connery
Dr. No because it was the first and because of Ursula Andress!
My favourite would have to be The Spy Who Loved me. Roger Moore is the best version of James Bond. The addition of Jaws as a villain makes this movie even better. Iconic villain for an iconic franchise. The opening skiing scene alone makes it my favourite! Plus, the song by Carly Simon is to die for.
My favorite James Bond Movie is “The Living Daylights”. I know it’s not the most popular Bond movie or actor, but the movie has a solid plot a great supporting cast, 3 villans and a sexy Bond girl cellist. I belive the movie holds well after all these years.
Goldfinger would be my favorite.
First of all, it stars Sean Connery who, in my opinion, is still be best of the Bonds. Secondly, Shirley Bassey is unmatched in presenting the title number for a 007 film. Although, Sheena Easton is a close second (For Your Eyes Only).
Thirdly, Gert Fröbe as Auric Goldfinger is just about as odious as a villain can get.
And then there is Honor Blackman as Ms. Galore. Well, need I say more?
Diamonds Are Forever-
Classic Connery and the first movie my parents ever let me go see by myself (at 10 years of age).
Casino Royale. Not only was the location fantastic, it kind of humanized Bond a little more.
