OHMSS is the best 60s Bond after From Russia with Love and Goldfinger. Might be better than Goldfinger a little because Lazenby plays Bond as this young arrogant prick.

I've seen almost all the Bond movies, so here's my opinions: Dr. No - Alright From Russia with Love - Awesome (Robert Shaw owns so hard in this one) Goldfinger - Awesome Thunderball - Alright (the underwater fights are unusually boring) Casino Royale - Garbage except for the Woody Allen scenes and the ending. You Only Live Twice - Good (extra points for Donald Pleasence as Blofeld) On Her Majesty's Secret Service - Awesome Diamonds Are Forever - Alright Live and Let Die - Awful (the worst Bond after Die Another Day) The Man with the Golden Gun - Alright The Spy Who Loved Me - Awesome Moonraker - Awesome (the opening skydiving scene is one of the best setpieces ever) For Your Eyes Only - Alright (I honestly can't remember anything about it other than Sheena Easton popping up in the credits) Never Say Never Again - Haven't seen yet, doesn't seem worth it. Octopussy - Blah A View to a Kill - Garbage (how the gently caress do you waste CHRISTOPHER loving WALKEN as a Bond villain?) The Living Daylights - Good Licence to Kill - Awesome (Robert Davi is one of the best villains, also has kid-faced Benicio del Toro!) Goldeneye - Alright (bonus points for great parts for Sean Bean and Alan Cumming, but the orgasmic assassin is stupid even for a Bond movie) Tomorrow Never Dies - Good (even better for basically having Jonathan Pryce as Rupert Murdoch as the villain) The World is Not Enough - Haven't seen yet Die Another Day - Garbage Casino Royale - Awesome Quantum of Solace - Blah Skyfall - Awesome Spectre - Alright (It's at least the best-shot film in the series)

Unguided posted:David Niven was a really bad Bond. Good actor in other movies, bad fit for the role. Niven would have made a great Bond in the 40s, maybe the early 50s. He's fantastic in A Matter of Life and Death. Roger Moore isn't terrible, he just got stuck with mostly garbage scripts with dumb poo poo like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzCIbhLUUA0

The way Live and Let Die tries so hard and fails at dipping its toes in the blaxploitation genre is one reason why the movie sucks. Worse that they waste an excellent actor like Yaphet Kotto. It also makes you wish they had just let American International or someone actually adapt a James Bond novel with a black James Bond. At least any time Geoffrey Holder is on screen is gold.

Christopher Lee isn't quite as wasted in Golden Gun. It's a mediocre film, but he gets some good screen time. It helps that Lee could be in the worst movie and still be the best thing about it. I like the editing style in OHMSS. The director, Peter Hunt, was editor on most of the preceding Bond films, including Goldfinger. It really holds up well, but it must have been unusual for 1969. John Barry's score owns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8XNBpIkQpU

Maurice Binder had the best job on the Bond movies. Every two years go to spend a few weeks filming nude models for the title sequence.
