2024-11-07 04:07:30 +0000 UTCOk so I know you said something about having a Bond Tune-In, but here we are with Dalton and what comes up? Yup. I've seen all the Bond movies multiple times and read several of Fleming's books. It was my first fandom back in the 80's, so I know a bit about a bit. One reactor, a completionist, did all the Bond movies and loved it. There's merit in the idea of watching every movie. It's a landmark series in the history of action movies, showing the longest span of industry changing to new times and audiences. It's how Bond became the show-case franchise for stuntwork for decades, both pushing stunts forward and changing the standard. Tom Cruise likes to brag about his stuntwork. There was a lot of press for his most recent MI movie and his 'unprecedented' motorcycle off a cliff stunt. Except 30 years ago when Bond did it far more dramatically. Watch 'Goldeneye' to see it happen. If you're not going to marathon them all, I'd recommend this selection: - 'From Russia With Love' 1963 - "Blasphemous, skipping 'Dr. No'!"? Yep. 'From Russia With Love' works better as a Bond movie in several significant ways, so I'd recommend it as a first watch to someone with budgeted time. *Essential viewing* - 'Goldfinger' 1964 - One of the most influential action movies of all time and a primary source for 'Austin Powers' parody material. Not as good a movie as 'From Russia', but more well-known. - 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' 1969 - One of the least-considered Bond movies. Truthfully it's as well-made a Bond movie as any of Connery's. I think it's poor reputation is solely due to people's nostalgic favoritism for Connery. And due to recent canon, it is now an *essential watch*. You hear me? *Essential viewing*, or you will miss an emotional arc 55 years in the making. - 'Moonraker' 1979 - Most would probably recommend 'Live and Let Die' for your Roger Moore sample, but let's just go right to the heart of this era of Bond; 'Moonraker'. Watching it will tell you all you need to know about the preceding (and following) decade of Bond. *Possible skip* One point in favor of a completionist run - the *world-class* theme songs. Bond set the standard in top-class theme songs for 15 years, from 'Goldfinger' to 'For Your Eyes Only'. I can't think of any other movie series where the music was as big a hit as the movie itself except Disney. Bond's tradition of great theme music wanes a bit through the 80's and 90's, but 'Casino Royale' on brings it all the way back. ('Quantum of Solace' theme song by Jack White is one of my favorite Bond songs, even though the movie is entirely unnecessary.) Now back to the movie list: - 'Licence (British production, remember?) to Kill' 1987 - To a casual Bond inquirer I'd skip Dalton altogether as the movies don't really accomplish anything significant, but here we are talking about him in 'Hot Fuzz'. It'd be rude to ignore him now. *Possible skip* - 'Goldeneye' 1995 - People were waiting years for Brosnan to become Bond ever since 'Remington Steele'. The series returns to innovative stuntwork in a Big Way. *Possible skip* - 'Casino Royale' 2006 - for decades I could successfully debate on Connery being the best Bond and 'From Russia With Love' being the definitive Bond movie, then this came out. It's the best Bond you'll likely ever see. *Essential viewing* - 'Skyfall' 2012, 'Spectre' 2015 and - 'No Time to Die' 2021 to follow a (bit too) melodramatic story arc that (fairly) respectfully handles the entire Bond canon in a (mostly) satisfying way. Personally I wouldn't bother to re-watch 'Spectre', seeing it once is enough for story continuity. But 'No Time to Die' is a touching tribute for a life-long Bond fan that is one of only two or three genuinely emotionally-affecting Bond movies *largely because of the canon established in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' 55 years before.* *Essential viewing* I know you two don't have as much time as other reactors and you need to be selective, but if you're going to do Bond as right as possible in the least amount of time, at least do seven to ten of the above.
