I will say, though. That freakin' car chase in Diamonds Are Forever was fun as hell. And the elevator scene was pretty bitchin'. The gay dudes was a really weird inclusion, too. :p

That's known as: "the last time you ever get an opportunity to be an extra". I have seen several directors discuss how much they despise that sort of thing.
like the middle guy here. I listened to the commentary and they were furious with him for beating Data to the punch. You can only see the tail end of it but he's basically doing exactly what Data does.

Oh hell. That's right. I forgot that he came back after Lazenby.

Worst is the wrong word. Least favorite. But I'll have to watch Diamonds Are Forever again before rating. Don't recall much about it.

Yeah. But only one bondathon before now. Before that I'd seen them out of order and sometimes years apart.

My rankings are always a little different when I do a Bondathon. A lot of them shift, but they generally don't move much more than 2 or 3 spots.

I'm gonna try to fit Spectre in tonight to finish the Bondathon. I got my DVDs rearranged in order from favorite to least favorite right now. Just pending Spectre.

Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd are the worst. So weird.
Not removing until John Elway is fired.

Same. Thunderball, Goldfinger and For Your Eyes Only are always near the top. FYEO was my introduction to Bond. Probably why I like it so much.

Same 4-6, but I'd put Goldfinger #1 and after rewatching it last night I might put Dr. No at #2.

I liked it more with the second viewing. I still don't care for the history they added between Bond and Blofeld.

I hate the opening to For Your Eyes Only so much, but the movie was overall awesome. It's in my top ten, and will be ranked a little higher in my new rankings.

Agreed. Blofeld deserved better.

All three are in my top ten. This Bondathon is the first where Goldfinger finally passed Dr. No. It's practically a coin flip.

It's really a shame the way he went out. Blofeld is one of the greatest villains in movie history. In any genre. They had a golden opportunity to kill him off in any way they want in one last SPECTRE-focused movie, and they kill him off in 4 minutes with a comedic bit. Terrible.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Lazenby has grown on me over the few times I've watched this. Couldn't stand him at first.
