Unauthorized you say

there's also another version of casino royale with david niven as bond but it's totally unlike the others and not really worth the watch tbh

 

[DropTopDoc]

Daniel Craig was the best Bond . Great run

Really, you don’t hear too many folks saying that, but i respect it

My favorite is Goldfinger, but after rewatching them all, it made me appreciate the first two Austin Powers movies, and how well they spoofed the series. Which Bond movie had the shark tank? Dr. No? Either way that was hilarious on the rewatch

Goldfinger is good, especially with buddy with the hat, and him and bond square off in the end, I’m trippin on the fukk buddy was going to die behind killing bond

I actually suggested in the film room a few years ago to do a coli watch along of all the bond films

That be dope Af

My favourite was Live and Let Die die to all the black peoples. But I need to watch it again to see how It was, now that I’m a little older.

On Amazon Prime there it’s a good documentary about the music of Bond. Shirley Bassey is a GOAT

I’ve rewatched it a few times, someone ought to take it and adapt it to a modern day story minus the bond aspect, can you imagine a Caribbean cat taking over the American drug market, with a card reading chick telling him what moves to make, with two main hubs in Harlem and New Orleans

I didn’t pick up Vibes watching it, other than they made the black chick slightly dingy and scary only to get clapped because she ain’t want to tell bond it’s a set up

And how he escaped the gator farm

And the sheriff who you know probably was racist in real life but toned down for the movie

I used to rent them at blockbuster as a kid.

Rewatching them now it’s pretty much the British version of a grown man watching a superhero movie and instead of some spandex outfit it’s a suit.

I’d say the better “James Bond” films are the originals. Maybe the first 2-4 movies ever made with Sean Connery.

After that James Bond just seem…out of place. I think after the 60s a gman walking around in a suite is hilariously and basically spawn an entire genre of comedy. (Austin powers, etc)

They are great action movies everyone. A view to a kill is a great 80s action movie, instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger playing in it with his funny accent they got Christopher walken to be a villain with a funny accent. Like I said this stuff just writes itself. The Craig era capitalized on the Bourne phenomenon of the late 2000s with brutal fast past action. Piers brosnons James Bond was bittin the 90s Steven seigal style hard. I think roger Moores Bond was the most original but his movies are so over the top it’s almost a paradoy movie.
But when I think of James Bond I think of Sean Connery in from Russia with love or gold finger.

Christopher walken was underrated imo but ain’t no way I’m jumping out my blimp I’m shooting bond

Sean is quintessential bond, so i agree

Good synopsis of the bond eras and are spot on

I need to watch the older ones....Brosnan and Craig versions I have seen plenty of times...I dress like Bond at work...real shyt

I see you black bond

The real ones know Goldeneye was prime Bond.

I feel like it was ok, it’s more remembered for being modern day bond and the video game

 

[DropTopDoc]

Great series.

I really think they should stop making ones set in current times and do retro versions. Most action movies are only as good as their villains, and the Villains have sucked for the most part. Except for Javier Bardem/Killa from No Country for Old Men. And I needed to watch YT explainer videos to understand why he's such a good villain.

Yeah the later ones, i just watched with very little understanding

I’ll have to do the same a good rewatch plus the YouTube explanation

Retro bonds sound dope, but i hear retro movies cost guap because trying to find all the stuff

 

[DropTopDoc]

Bond movies are my shyt. Watched all the originals with my pops, and kept going with the modern ones.

Over time, I've realized that Casino Royale and Goldeneye are my likely two favorites just off of sheet amount of times I've rewatched them. To this day, if I see that Casino Royale is on TV, I'm probably watching it to the end from wherever I came in.

Underrated theme song would be "You Only Live Twice"



Also fukk with this cover of it.

Bond makes for good father son bonding

I’ll stop what I’m doing and watch just about any bond joint on tv

 

[DropTopDoc]

I've watched all of them in a marathon about 15 years ago, including the "fake" one Never Say Never Again.
They've aged pretty badly and some of them are kinda boring to watch today.
The Moore ones are too campy.
The Connery ones are cool, so I hope the next Bond is a period piece.

Yeah, given the time some are a bit over the top
Like when Sean pretended to be Chinese

The writing is hit or miss on these, but that’s with anyone, having a good team can make a bond

Craig brought the Bond films back. Best Bond since Sean Connery.

Casino Royale is easily a top 3 Bond film.

However many of Bond films are pretty bad. Even some of Craig ones like Spectre were really boring to watch. Their franchise does not have a consistency for sure.

Hmm I’m a Sean guy, but i fukks with the Craig ones

Brosnan was my favorite, mainly because that was my era, but I still like The World Is Not Enough as one of the best. I like the Connery joints I've seen, Roger Moore stuff is silly, but they're enjoyable. Daniel Craig is a mixed bag. I'm glad hes done, it’s time for someone new.

One day I'm gonna sit down and watch them all from the 60s to now.

Do it, it will give you an appreciation for all of them, and you will see how sometimes they were phoning it in, and the different bond personalities, and the “modernization” of bond in the 80’s and 90’s

They did the retro thing with Mad Men about 10 years back. It was all love. Hell Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon is medieval era...

Old School James Bond was not PC at all. Even though we still got cats like Bill Burr running around and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia - traditional media now follows/reports on the crazies in Social Media.

Tumblr and Twitter would throw a fit.

In terms of spies, I really liked the Americans. I thought a reverse James Bond, a Soviet Spy series would have been dope to see.

 

[JoelB]

I've seen about 80% of them. Used to marathon them as a kid with my pops.

I bought the VHS combo around the time Goldeneye came out...think they came with like 8 movies. I'd be interested in buying a new box set

They tried it with Man from Uncle and it failed.

They tried it with Man from Uncle and it failed.

I feel like every Movie/Series failure is really about the writing.

Part of the reason why Casino Royale was so good, was the writing. Whereas the last few outings, the writing has taken a backseat to the franchise, imo.

On the topic of America's Enemies - For the most part Amazon's Man in the High Castle was awful. But Quentin's Nazi in Inglorious Basterds was one of the best characters in a long time.

They have the best stories mixed with a semblance of realism. They're my favorites too.
