Best Movie Ever!

[anytimepally]

I agree that GoldenEye is Brosnan's best. I never cared for the three that followed, although I liked Robbie Coltrane's character in this and The World is Not Enough.

Oh, I agree.. I was so excited when he had more screentime in TWINE.. he was one of its redeeming qualities, along with Q's touching retirement scene and the introduction of John Cleese as R

I wish Joe Don had a slightly larger role as Whittaker in The Living Daylights. He was a fascinating character, but kept off the screen for too long.

I agree with this, too.. he was the perfect villain for Dalton's Bond.. I loved how he had sculptures of all those great generals in his likeness! ... John Rhys-Davies was great as General Pushkin, too

It's too bad the filmmakers didn't shoot Fleming's "Blofeld Trilogy" in order.

It does seem like an odd desicion.. I wonder what the reasoning was

Back to Diamonds Are Forever. While a more personal confrontation with Blofeld would have been nice, it probably would have spoilt the majority of the film, which when you think about it, is sort of a blueprint for the Moore films to come. It's a light, entertaining comical film. The assassins, Wint and Kidd are terrific. Wint is played by Bruce Glover, who is the father of Crispin; Kidd is played by Putter Smith, who is a jazz bassist. Broccoli wanted Paul Williams for Kidd at one point, but it didn't work out. That would have been amusing!

Wint & Kidd were awesome! I had no idea it was Crispin Glover's father, though.. I'm just glad Charles Gray's role in YOLT (where he was a good guy) was so small that it doesn't spoil my enjoyment of this film... and you're right, Dawson's Blofeld was the best

John Gavin was paid for NOT making the film.

it's good work if you can get it!

I was named after Katherine Hepburn! She's a really great actress!

that's neat! I was just named after my dad .. he's not a great actor, but he's a good dad

Wint & Kidd were awesome! I had no idea it was Crispin Glover's father, though..

Two of the best Bond villains ever!

Yep, Bruce Glover is Crispin's dad. He was (and is) an acting teacher. Didn't make too many films (I think Diamonds was his first), but he later appeared in Walking Tall, Chinatown and Ghost World.

John Gavin became the ambassador to Mexico when Reagan was president.

Here's one I forgot to list, but I'm kind of embarrassed about admitting it... but another one of my favorite movies is 13 Going on 30.

I've actually heard that that is a very good movie!

It is a very good movie, but I'm kind of embarassed that I like because although it's a "romantic comedy", I always considered it to be a "chick-flick".

Hey! Comedy's comedy.

Hey! Comedy's comedy.

And east is east, and west is west, and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce, they taste a lot more like prunes than rhubarb does.

I take that to mean you don't like the movie?

Another of my favorite movies is The Night of the Hunter, which was the only film directed by Charles Laughton. The film had a style which became influential to well-known directors such as the Coen Brothers, David Lynch, and Terrence Malick. It has become culturally significant and features many themes amongst its many horrific, harrowing images. To this day, I find it hard to think of any movie as "scary" when I remember seeing Shelley Winters... well, those who have seen the movie know exactly what image I'm speaking of.

Also, 13 Going On 30 is a very entertaining, very sweet little movie.
