James Bond

the films are always on TV but adverts fuck them up,so I really want to choose when I go for a piss and make tea so I could buy the set but don't really want to spend that much although it would be nice to have all the Bond films but I was thinking now that the things individually are really cheap,which one to get first so I made this shitarse poll up

I know my favorites and which one I will probably get first, Goldfinger but what Bond DVD would you get first and why and all that

The living Daylights. Underrated by everybody. Great story and action. Timothy Dalton overstayed his welcome in Licenced to Kill but ruled in TLD.

I played Goldeneye for 64 before I saw "The Man With The Golden Gun." I'm not sure if I was let down or not. All the Roger Moore ones were a little goofy anyways. I like the duel.

"Monsieur Scalamanga!"

I think Casino Royale is the only one that doesn't look just plain silly now.

it really is very different in a very good way, yeah. i like the part where bond and vesper are in the car, discussing their cover story, and he says "and your name is miss stephanie broadchest", and it's a joke, but in earlier films that probably would have actually been her name

Yup.

I liked The Spy Who Loved me when it came out, and Barbara Bach's breasts, but then never really got into the Bond movies much after that.
But then Bourne Identity came out and it was like, "This is how spy assassins would do it" and it just really made the Bond movies look
stupid after that. I tried Goldfinger and couldn't even get through it.

I know the Bourne movies are fantasy, too, obviously, but... I dunno.

And, yeah, the adolescent sexism in the Bond movies really makes him look like an ass. A very dated ass, which is too bad. I like Connery
a lot.

I second that. Casino makes the rest seem cartoon now.

What about the original Casino Royale with David Niven as Bond

That's the silliest of the lot(y)

..isn't that the one book that the Broccoli family didn't have rights to?

I think the first adaptation was a British TV show, and they may have used Royale for that. Then, when the movie series started and it
was popular, the company that owned the rights to Royale tried to cash in with the spoof.

I think that's how it happened. Then the Broccoli family eventually got the rights to Royale back, and that's how the Daniel Craig version
could get made.

I think. Something like that.
