Best Bond Ski Movie per original post before splats buzz wore off:

Duh. What a dork. Wake and bake was brutal this am, changed the title.
That's a good one but #1 is Goldfinger, #2 Dr. No
You can’t go changing the damn title. How is that even possible anyway?Quote:

If you go advanced on an edit, it can be done. The change stands..
So who is the best bond girl?

Maybe best Bond stunts...my intro to Bond was the parachute ski jump but I like this one more. Someone on the set did it for cash if I recall correctly

Goldfinger has to be #1.
The Spy Who Loved Me for the ski scene and Carly Simon's "Nobody Does it Better" theme for #2.
Die Another Day. Epic.
Octopussy

For me, the Union Jack base jump from The Spy Who Loved Me is straight up tits in regards to skiing stunts culled from the Bond archives.
But my personal favorite film is For Your Eyes Only. It has the least amount of hokey gadgets and Roger Moore plays the role rather straight. I re-watched it recently and it's aged pretty well, plus I have a bit of a soft spot for it in terms of nostalgia as it was the second Bond film I ever saw in the theater (Moonraker was the first).
Definitely my #2 theme song as well. My #1 is Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only":Quote:

I'm torn on WHICH Bond, though. I usually say that Connery was the best Bond hands down, but I'm pretty partial to Roger Moore as well but that could also be nostalgia talking since I grew up with his films as a kid. He was a damn good Bond no matter what, though.

Weren't those intros just the greatest?! Dang. Now I need to go on (yet another) 007 binge watch. I own all of them but the newest film.
This was definitely not one of the best Bond films ever, but I always enjoyed the opening scene of A View To A Kill. One of the first mainstream snowboard scenes. Tom Sims if I recall correctly.
