WHAT I LIKED: For some reason, Diamonds are Forever seems to catch a lot of flak these days, but in my opinion it's actually a pretty great Bond adventure on the whole. Partly that's because Connery's back on form (after the blip of You Only Live... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service,' is a very different kind of Bond film - primarily because Bond himself is portrayed as a completely different character. Whereas in Connery's films we root for him because of his underdog likeabilit... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'You Only Live Twice,' is actually a very well laid-out Bond film. We begin with a rather brilliant opening sequence in space in which a US spacecraft is stolen, and - with the Russians being blamed - Bond is sent on a mission to Jap... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Leon is the infamous English-language debut of the great Luc Besson, and it of course follows the story of a quiet and meticulous French hitman in New York who inadvertantly ends up caring for his neighbour - a troubled young girl Ma... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There are certainly things to marvel at in 'Thunderball,' as the underwater sequences are very impressively filmed (especially for their time), and Ted Moore's high-contrast cinematography is more appealing on the whole to my eyes th... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: If opening sequences set the tone of a Bond movie, the fact that 'Goldfinger,' opens with a pigeon on Bond's head and him blowing something up surely says it all. This is the movie that established the sillyness and extravagance of t... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: From the opening moments of this second entry in the Bond series, it's clear we're getting a rather different film from 'Dr No,' as Bond sneaks around wearing a rather more furrowed expression, and the whole sequence is then revealed... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Dr No,' may be the film that introduced the world of Ian Fleming's James Bond to the big screen, but in itself it's actually a rather breezy and slow-paced affair compared to most of its successors. It just has us watch Bond slowly... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: When you break it down, Dirty Dancing is basically a film about whether you can escape the trappings of your circumstances, but one where that expression is forced through the membrane of a wole lot more sexy dancing, big hair and bo... Read the full review »
