Huh, I've never met anybody who rates the Daniel Craig era so highly. I really should see those films again, I saw them at the cinema but didn't buy them unfortunately.

Damn, i need to refresh my memory. The two Daniel Craig ones i've seen are easily among my favorites. And the Pierce Brosnan films haven't held up well imo.


1 - Goldfinger
2 - From Russia With Love
3 - Casino Royale
4 - Thunderball
5 - Quantum of Solace

1.The Thing (1982)
2. The Fly (1986)
3. The Blob (1988)

5. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

Top 5 sleaziest valid professions.

1. Marketers/Salesman (my god I hate being told what I should buy. Obnoxious methods!)
2. Politicians/Lobbyists (lies/corruption)
3. Lawyers (promote a culture of fear in overly litigious societies. Loopholes that circumvent intent of the law)
4. Statisticians (often "accurately" misrepresenting truth)
5. Bankers (obviously not pointed at the basic act of credit and savings, but the extracurriculars)

... i'd say a lot of doctors are up there too.

Do people have bad experiences with doctors? This must be a thing in areas with higher population density or something.

 

[The Butt]

I don't know how it is down there but a lot of doctors up here are major pill-pushers.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

You can thank lawyers and politicians for that. In the 90s they made a requirement that doctors not treat pain simply as a symptom, but as something that needs to be cured, therefore allowing patients to sue doctors that refuse to push pills.

Daniel Craig is the best Bond to me, and Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby are underrated Bonds. Dalton's portrayal was ahead of his time and Craig's style took some inspiration from him I think. If you haven't seen The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill, do so. The Living Daylights has one of the best fights in the Bond series imo, and John Barry's score for the film is great too.

Never watched The Living Daylight and haven't seen Licensed to Kill in years(i think i might have it on Blu-Ray though).

You should definitely watch it. One of my favorite fights in the whole series:

... is that clip gonna ruin anything for me?

Hmm it may, actually. In retrospect, I'd say watch the entire film so you'd have context and lead-up to that sequence.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Gotta get in on this Bond action:

1. License to Kill
2. Dr. No
3. Live and Let Die
4. GoldenEye
5. Goldfinger

License to Kill is severely underrated. Its a grittier, more violent, slightly more down to Earth Bond with one of the best villains in Robert Davi. A bad motherfucker if there ever was one.
