That's what I could never understand. Isn't he supposed to be Welsh? He never sounded it.
Well it took me two days but I finished The Spy Who Loved Me. It started out really good but then felt very drawn out, and I became bored.
It just seemed to drag on and on but the ending was hilarious! Very "Bond."
Over the next few days I'll probably finish RM's movies. All I have left is The Man With The Golden Gun, Moonraker, and A View To Kill. Then Goldfinger (don't really have an interest in any other SC ones) and Licence To Kill.

TMWTGG is a guilty pleasure of mine. Yes, it's cheesy as all getout, but Christopher Lee makes for a great villain, and it's also got great exotic locales.
Moonraker is pretty much a complete rehash of TSWLM. Just replace the sea with space. It's a weaker film, although it does feel a little more polished, production design and special effects wise.
A View to a Kill is at the absolute bottom of my rankings. Just an awful, tired, cringe-worthy film. They really should've retired Moore after Octopussy. The only thing I like about it is the awesome Duran Duran theme.

I'll do a top five, although there aren't that many good ones to pick from.
1) Casino Royale
2) Skyfall
3) From Russia With Love
4) Goldeneye
5) On Her Majesty's Secret Service
The only others ones I'd really rewatch are Quantum of Solace, Live and Let Die, and For Your Eyes Only. I should probably rewatch The Living Daylights, though.

Ah, ok. Thanks.
Casino Royale is my favorite. I was never a fan of the old ones, as the villains always seemed a bit too silly.

If it's that bad, maybe I should skip it?
You should make your mind up yourself and watch it. You might like it, who knows?
Agreed. A View to a Kill is not one of my favorite Bond films either, but it's far from the worst, and certainly better than anything Dan Craig has done (and some of his aren't bad either).
But don't take my word for it. Watch it and decide for yourself.
I always wanted to hear Walken read nursery rhymes:
There once was a woman...who lived in a shoe...okay...with all these...kids...until one day...they just killed her...with this...spoon...so good night...and sweet dreams.

I really love the scenes between Roger Moore and Patrick MacNee in A View to a Kill. They have some great chemistry together. Along with the serious, they also have some funny exchanges which always brings a smile to my face.
My first girlfriend lived in Ashbourne. At the time Dalton's brother ran a video shop in the town
AVTAK has some nice moments, but its almost like they're going out of their way to emphasise how old Rog is. Walken is so young and dynamic, and sticking MacNee in just emphasises it more (though it would have been a real shift if he'd effectively been the Bond girl as the two of them have a good rapport.) But Moneypenny, Q, M...everyone on Bond's side just looks so old compared to Zorin's crew.
And I actually think Walken would have made a better Bond villain when he was a bit older as well.
^ Shame Tim didn't win the part a couple of years earlier, his brother could've called the shop A View to a Kill.
Goldeneye
Skyfall
Goldfinger
Tomrrow Never Dies
License to Kill
That's pretty much my Top 5 of the films I've seen.
