The year: 1987, the Man: Timothy Dalton, the film? The Living Daylights
and good news for adults across the globe because after sending off
their kids to joke it up with Roger Moore for over a decade they could
finally sit down to a Bond movie which, whisper it quietly, resembled a
real thriller...and a good one at that. We should be grateful for
Dalton's two stints as the Bond...

A View To A Kill seems to get more than its fair share of criticism. Often
it is labelled the weakest of the Bond entries, but I don't think this is
particularly true. Personally, I don't even rate it as the poorest of Roger
Moore's Bond outings, with Moonraker and The Man With the Golden Gun
standing out in my memeory as less memorable escapades than this

Undeniably one of Roger Moore's best outings as 007, For Your Eyes Only was
an attempt by Cubby Broccoli to bring Bond down to earth after the over the
top, but brilliant, Moonraker. Surprisingly this works very well, with the
action sequences being more realistic (what with a car chase, ski chase and
a small scale assault on the villain's residence instead), but brilliant
too....

There are a number of good things going for this film, among them two
things you learn right from the opening credits: (1) John Frankenheimer
is the director and (2) it's based on a book by Thomas Harris, the man
who created "Hannibal Lechter." Throw in two intense always-interesting actors, Bruce Dern and Marthe
Keller, and you now have a good, no-nonsense story translated to the<...

I have seen the film three times over the past thirty years and each
time I loved it. The subject of the film must have attracted director
Richard Brooks who was essentially a screenplay writer who later became
a director. He knew the merits of a strong script with philosophical
lines from Conrad. Coppola was to use the related original material
(Conrad's) in his "Apocalyps...

The first three Bonds (Dr. No, FRWL, Goldfinger) are without question
the best in the series, though From Russia with Love may well be the
best of the best. It has all things we look for in a great Bond film -
exotic locales, sinister villains, beautiful women - but it was made
before Goldfinger established the

I must confess to being biased towards this film, as I am a grandson of
the author and screenwriter. It is extremely pleasing to read that this
film has given a lot of pleasure to many who have seen it. Why I think
the film succeeds is because it was written by a man who took part in
the North African campaign, as a doctor in the RAMC, who had to deal
with the human cost of war...

THE African QUEEN is probably one of the most widely available films in
the world, on sale in the electronics department of virtually every
major retail chain, a commonplace at every rental counter, frequently
seen on television. It is hard to imagine any one in the western world,
especially in the United States, who has not seen the film at least
once--and probably more than o...
