So ... [livejournal.com profile] filkertom posts about new DVDs most mondays ... what is coming out, what people intend to buy.

I didn't realize that these were out this week.

FINALLY ... and not in a box set

From Russia With Love ... the greatest of all the Bond films ... anyone who disagrees, I'll kindly have to ask you to step outside.

You Only Live Twice is out too

Once Dr No and Diamonds Are Forever come out (and I can't seem to find a date on that) ... I have all the Connery Bond films

So ... what is your favorite Bond film? And who do you think is the second best Bond? (cause we all know who is the best)

"From Russia With Love" is okay. "Goldfinger" is far better. As for the best Bond...Roger Moore. Dalton would have been great if they gave him some good scripts. I really think he could have been amazing.

Connery is okay. By "Thunderball" it's obvious he's bored with the part. By "Diamonds Are Forever" he looks like Grandpa Bond. (Which is funny because a few years later, Roger Moore took over the role and he looked years younger while in real life, he's older than Connery)

Favorite: "Live And Let Die" and parts of "You Only Live Twice". "Casino Royale" (2006) is really growing on me. "Goldfinger" is up there as well. Worst: "Octapussy" and "World Is Not Enough" (But I love the theme song...)

Speaking of that, Best Song: "On His Majesty's Sercret Service" and "Goldfinger". The ABSOLUTE WORST SONG, "Die Another Day" (Thanks Madonna, you suck!) and the never ending "License To Kill"...Honorable mention to Tina Turner's "Goldeneye" while I enjoy doing 'Thunderball' at Kareokee bars.

Each Bond has been good for the time they were Bond. Pierce and Lazenby...Nice ornaments to the Bond world.

Now...Daniel Craig...He's got some potential to take over.

Side note: "From Russia With Love" video game is fun. Conner did the voice on that one and it...shows...But "Goldeneye is and always will be the greatest Bond video game.

ZARDOZ!!!

As with 'You Only Live Twice' everything but Bond is what I like in that film. Great villian and plot. Connery knows he's going to win so he acts like it. It's his last film (At the time it was) and he knows it. (Kinda like Harrison Ford in 'Return Of The Jedi')

Robert Shaw is on of the greatest actors of our time.
