The Top Ten Bond Movies...Ever?
It doesn’t get much more subjective than this. Or much more fun!
Come and join international bestselling author Mark Williams on a James Bond odyssey as he continues to explore the phenomenon that is James Bond, this time with the Bond film that made # 9 on the list: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
Realtively new release. The series (#s 10 and 9 of the countdown so far) tap into the global interest in James Bond, the world's favoutite spy.
This never happened to the other fellow.
When it comes to love it or hate it movies, it doesn’t get more divisive than On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. It’s probably caused more arguments than any other film made. Is it the best Bond movie ever, or the devil’s spawn, beside which even the hapless A View To A Kill can be considered tolerable?
Is it really a Bond film at all? Seriously, if we changed the names of the key characters Bond and Blofeld, and the MI6 characters M, Q and Moneypenny, would it even be a Bond film?
Where are the death-defying stunts? The pool of sharks? The falling from an airplane without a parachute? The impossible-to-escape-from grisly fate that the captured Bond escapes from anyway?
And where’s the Bond title theme song?
Come to that, where’s James Bond himself? Sean Connery? Who is this imposter from Down Under muscling in on the role that belongs to, and only to, Scotland’s finest actor? And how did said imposter get to wear a kilt and play the Scot when Connery didn’t?
