Though the first film, now I'm on the 6th book, Dr. No

Pretty odd watching it this way though, because the screenwriters obviously added their own continuity for the films. Oh well, fun viewing experiment, but I wouldn't recommend it for newcomers.

Sylvia Trench would've topped out Honey Rider for favorite Bond girl in Dr. No...but her eyebrows were just too obviously painted on. I actually don't think Honey's body is that amazing, it was just a great swimsuit. Very pretty face too.

Honey Rider is a tad overrated, but I like her for the same characteristics. You can also catch a glimpse of her nude body as she and Bond are being cleared of contamination.

Tatiana Romanova, though. Mmmmm

Actually, she's not nude in that shot. Common misconception, she is wearing a flesh toned bikini.

Now onto the anthology of short stories, For Your Eyes Only, which the first listed is A View To A Kill. Going from one of the best to one of the worst lulz

The one I remember least about, probably. Well, this and Octopussy. For Your Eyes Only.

Definitely better than Octovagina.

Just try not to cringe at the opening of FYEO.

Worst opening ever.

Rest of the movie is pretty damn good, in my opinion.

Was going to go with a "C" for For Your Eyes Only, but that cliff sequence was pretty good so I added a "+"

Same. The song especially always takes me back to a certain place and time.
