This is my favorite of the Roger Moore 007s. A View To A Kill will always have a soft spot in my heart because it was the first James Bond soundtrack I had, and Spy Who Loved Me just because it was so much fun, but For Your Eyes Only added a more serious…

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) – Lewis Gilbert
I love when the 101 Action Movies brings me a favorite to rewatch, and I do love my Bond films, alongside For Your Eyes Only, The Spy Who Loved Me is one of my preferred outings of Roger Moore as 007. This one is Moore’s James Bond at his best, tongue firmly in cheek,…
Diamonds Are Forever (1971) – Guy Hamilton
Sean Connery returns as Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007, his last official appearance as James Bond. Never Say Never Again is a remake of Thunderball which was released by Warner Brothers, so it doesn’t count as canon. Sorry. This entry on the 101 Action Movies list follows James as he works to foil S.P.E.C.T.R.E.’s latest…
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) – Peter Hunt
O.H.M.S.S. is a welcome addition to the 101 Action Movies list. I still stand by my belief that if this one had starred Sean Connery as Ian Fleming’s James Bond, then this 007 adventure would have been his best. It has Bond falling in love, and was brave enough to end on an incredibly tragic note….
Our Man Flint (1966) – Daniel Mann
That didn’t take long. The 101 Action Movies list, currently has me in the swinging 60s, and it didn’t take long back then for American filmmakers to take on the super-spy genre, they’d already done it on television, but nothing could seem to take on the sheer popularity of the UK import of James Bond….
Thunderball (1965) – Terence Young
007 is back in his biggest adventure yet and the 101 Action Movies brings me one of my favorite Sean Connery Bond films. For me, this one has it all, exotic locations, scuba diving (something I haven’t done for years, but still love), Connery being suave and cool, banter with Q (Desmond Llewelyn) and…
Goldfinger (1964) – Guy Hamilton
James Bond returns in the installment that created the mold. With the third James Bond film, director Guy Hamilton perfects the Bond formula, as we see in this welcome addition to the 101 Action Movies list. We have the incredibly suave Connery as 007, beautiful women, including The Avengers star Honor Blackman as Pussy…
From Russia With Love (1963) – Terence Young
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love the Bond films, so it was really no surprise to me that a number of them would start to pop up the further I got into the 101 Action Movies list. Of the early James Bond films, From Russia With Love is closest to the source…
Tim’s Top 12 of 2012
12 is my lucky number, so I figured that would be the number of films I pick for my favorites of 2012, it kind of works, because then that would be one each month, though, for anyone who reads my blog, you’re well aware that I’ve seen a lot more than 12 movies this year!…
Skyfall (2012) – Sam Mendes
By the end of Skyfall there are some very familiar pieces returned to the board that is the James Bond playing field, which leads us to a bit of a cross-roads for the next Bond film (would you believe the story is already in development?!), I quite enjoy the grit and feel of Craig’s…
