favorite bond film

[Mikey]

Koto is always great in anything he ever plays in ...

Even as a badguy, there's something about him that makes people like his character

At the time -- and even today, I still think the boat chase scenes were one of the best "chase scenes" in any James Bond movie to date.

Also, back in the day when I was just a kid and seen LALD in the theatre I thought it was kind of scary -- especially the part when the guy comes out of the grave

it is the prototype for a boat chase the same way Bullitt is the modern car chase - one of the reason LALD is still on most peoples top 10 bonds. And Yaphet Koto as Mr big was very cool

It was the first bond film I saw in a theater as well.....and it does make it more special

Live and Let Die was the first James Bond movie I ever seen in the theatre

It was heavily implied that the villain was Blofeld but for some reason they didn't mention him by name......

I thought so to

I remember seeing some newspaper ads that superimposed more modest shorts over top of the girl. Guess it was too risque for some markets. I have to say, it was a really eyecatching poster.

[The Toyroom]

my first bond film was for your eyes only so for me, it's special.

I had the For Your Eyes Only movie poster hanging on the wall over the head of my bed...it never failed to incite comments from visiting adults when they'd come in the room and see Roger Moore aiming his gun between the long legs of a chick with a crossbow.

[The Bat]

I love that Casino Royal takes a more serious approach to Bond. I don't miss some of the campy lines, like the one Brosnan used with Christmas Jones..."And I thought Christmas only came ones a year".

The whole Audience groaned when he said that line.

It was heavily implied that the villain was Blofeld but for some reason they didn't mention him by name......

This was due to the legal action that ended up giving former Fleming collaborator Kevin McClory rights to "Thunderball". This supposedly included the character of Blofeld since he was introduced in that story. Although he ended up appearing in other Bond films, so I'm not sure why he couldn't be named in For Your Eyes Only. The case seems a bit convoluted, it may have been due to McClory finally being able to get production started on the remake of Thunderball that he was allowed to produce as a result of his lawsuit with Fleming (which ended up being the film "Never Say Never Again")

[The Toyroom]

they never say who the villian is but I always thought it was suporsed to be blofeld (he was a different actor every time)

I think there's a reference in the dialogue to it being the anniversary of Tracy's death......Blofeld being responsible, it's only fitting that Bond should get his revenge that day....

Live and Let Die was the first James Bond movie I ever seen in the theatre -- and the first Bond movie I ever seen period.

For that reason, it holds a special high spot in my fav list.

[Bill]

Go ahead and laugh at me, but I grew up during the Roger Moore era and just can't help having a soft spot for his flicks. My favorite is probably For Your Eyes Only. I'll probably be the only schmuck admitting that. My wife was upset when Luigi Ferarra got killed. The Spy Who Loved Me comes in a close second.

Right there with ya. That deadpan delivery was just so fitting.

[megoapesnut]

I think I'd have to second Megoapesnut's sentiment for For Your eyes Only. This was my first Bond film, I believe. If this is the one where he flies a copter, picks up the wheelchair-bound villain and drops him into a smokestack, that's the one.

Please Mr. Bond...We can do a deal. I'll buy you a delicatessen...in stainless steel! (just before he is dropped down the smoke stack)
