That's what made it great. Bond wasn't meant to be an Oscar type film. It was meant to be funny.

It's not an Oscar type film, but it's also not a comedy.

Would be my favourite set of films.
Loved the corny one liners, the by play with Q. All what made Bond films what they were.
Goldeneye and FRWL my two favourite films though.

Definitely not.
Played, I would Do Anything For Love, Bat Out Of Hell, Two Out of Three Ain't Bad and Hot Summer Night all in a pack, and woweeeee. Hot Summer Night is so good.

Agreed, although Live and Let Die is pretty cool, and imo has the best soundtrack.
Moonraker and Octopussy are just too weird with bizarre and implausible storylines.
We had way too many Moore Bond movies and not enough Dalton imho.
Dalton's Bond brought an intriguing darker and enigmatic side to the character.

The darkest, grittiest Bond before Craig..
Goldeneye still the pick for me. Possibly enhanced because of the n64 game which was great. Really enjoyed Casino Royale as well.
Octopussy is also up there. Man I must’ve seen that movie.....twice.

Woah. No way.
And I had nothing against Dalton.

They didn't perform because his performances were such a strong pivot from Moore and people didn't like the darker, grittier version. Not sure it was because he was too vanilla.

I don't think Pierce was actually bad as Bond, it's just that aside from Goldeneye, all his 007 movies were rubbish (imo)
Still think Connery is the best Bond, but clearly there is problematic issues with his character (mainly due to the slapping and hitting of women, I know it was in the books but it does make me very uncomfortable watching it again).
I have read a few of the Bond novels as well, I know he is a product of his time and culture of the time, but Ian Flemimg was quite the bigot unfortunately. (Esp with regards to racism)

Fair enough on Brosnan movies. Goldeneye is such a good one that it does leave a lasting impression. I didn't mind Die Another Day but the other two were pretty crap. Especially with Denise Richards cast as a Bond girl in The World Is Not Enough which just didn't work.
Agree with you on Connery also. He had it all, wit, humour, one liners and a bit of steel.

Started to watch an interesting series on AMC, Cursed Films..
Episode 1 is about The Exocist, which does have something of a controversial reputation, both off and on Screen
I don't believe in any of the mythology stuff they are saying, esp with regards to Ancient Egyptian relics in this movie, but I still find it both entertaining and fascinating

Sure but players from all walks of life in tennis are 'loose cannons'.
