Some of his movies were pretty tacky but I'll always have a soft spot since he was my childhood Bond. Spy Who Loved Me is in my top three behind Russia With love and Goldfinger.
He really made the role his own, even if it was hard to buy him doing the action stuff even in the 70s and by his last couple it of movies it was absolutely ridiculous. Dude never met a blue screen or stuntman he didn't like!
Quoted from mbaumle:I agree 100%. He had some of the tackiest movies, but I've always enjoyed them. He always added just the right amount of camp humor, something that's been lost in recent movies. Like that scene in Moonraker where Jaws is seen biting through a cable car cable? Yes. Then turns good and runs off with the tiniest little blond girl in the space station? Very yes. Or when the tune to get into the secret lab is the tune from Close Encounters? So clever. (I really liked Moonraker for whatever reason)..
I liked Moonraker also but probably because I was about 9 the first time I saw it. Perfect audience for that goofy movie!
"Double-take pigeon" is generally considered one of the lowest moments for the franchise lol. But that movie has lots of charms and its so over the top how can you dislike it. "I think he's attempting re-entry" has got to be the best AC/DC level double entrede ever in the series. And yeah, Moore makes those movies work.
Quoted from TheLaw:Yeah mine too...although For Your Eyes Only best bond by miles...sprawling epic!
All the Connery guys couldn't stand Moore ruining the "sanctity of Bond," but some of those Old movies are unwatchable.
Goldfinger 8 minute golf scene feels like 30.
If that's his ball then I'm Arnold Palmer!!!
Quoted from Vyzer2:Never thought of him being that old. Always sucks when actor who has made so many memorable movies dies. His Bond movies were always entertaining. Think he is the first (?) James Bond to die.
He was even older than Sean Connery!!!!
And showed every bit of it in the last few movies he did.
Quoted from Dayhuff:He was always the best bond in my opinion but like someone else said, he was my childhood bond. For me the two favorites were Octopussy and A view to a kill in that order. Also loved him in Cannonball Run, great stuff.
So sad to read this.John
And it was so sudden and unexpected!
Wait, he was 89?! Ok he had a good run! I'm surprised but none of the obits I've read have mentioned he's the first (official) Bond to pass on, which is really pretty surprising considering they've been churning these things out for almost 60 years.
