The Best James Bond Film is.....?

I'm backing the outsider TMWTGG. It had that great duel idea, a terrific Lee, fantastically stylised sets and themes and the best Moore for my money.

Indeed.

The living daylights is. On her Majesty's secret service close second but I don't really like what George Lazenby did as James Bond. From Russia with love close third but I dislike the final, too much action, it breaks what the film built before, a wonderful atmosphere, very menacing. The only flaw of The living daylights is miss Moneypenny played by Caroline Bliss and her office in the Q branch. They should have reused a lovely character, Penelope Smallbone. I prefer her to Caroline Bliss' character. It would have been better I think.

Actually, using Penelope Smallbone would have been a great idea. I don't care much for Caroline Bliss, but I think Smallbone would have been a great successor to Maxwell... What would then happen with Samantha Bond? Would she be Moneypenny or Smallbone? Or perhaps Goodnight or Ponsonby?

From Russia With Love, closely followed by OHMSS and Casino Royale!
