Topic	Andy Now Does Yet More Andy Nouns [ANDYMAN] Vol. 1: Self-deprecating, contained!
KujikawaRising 08/03/18 11:52:44 AM #56:	Aecioo posted... It's crazy how much people differ on Bond stuff. Yeah... I think age has something to do with it - depends on who Bond was when you grew up. For example, my dad loves the Roger Moore movies, while I don't care for a few of them at all - but that's because Moore was always 007 to my dad. I can understand that. RIP, Sir Roger :( But it also comes down to other tastes as well. I've seen crazy stuff like people saying YOLT was the best Connery movie or that FYEO isn't good at all. YOLT is good, but it's not From Russia with Love or Goldfinger good. FYEO is the most "Fleming" of all the Moore films and one they put a lot of care into making. It's a top-half Bond outing for that reason. I can get not loving it, but it's not in the dumpster like the two that came after it. I wouldn't say OHMSS is "iconic" - it can be justified in the Impeccable Tier since it's one of John Barry's best instrumental compositions. It just isn't as iconic as Nobody Does It Better, Goldfinger, or the James Bond Theme. Those three are in a league of their own. I probably had Diamonds too low in that quickie ranking there (oops, it's definitely better than Writing's on the Wall and GoldenEye). Not sure why I didn't move it up - perhaps that was because of Kanye. That's really the only difference we have in our top 9. I think it was like two years ago when Stifled and I did that subsequent Bond rankings project? That was my second go at it here at b8. I haven't watched much Bond since. Perhaps I should rectify that even though I've watched every movie except Spectre at least four times (and half of them at least 10). --- https://imgur.com/t3naEGu I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. <cite>KujikawaRising posted [p:906200876] in Andy Now D...
