It’s been said before but it bears repeating. Timothy Dalton absolutely knocked it out of the park in LICENCE TO KILL. One of the truly great Bond performances.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK turns 43 today. One of the greatest (if not THE greatest) films ever made. Feels fresh & exciting no matter how many times I watch it.
“It’s not the years, honey. It’s the mileage.”
Thinking more about THE DIAL OF DESTINY and I really love the message that you have value here and now. Even if you feel like time and life has passed you by there’s always something to live for and relationships to pursue.
These pics of Roger Moore visiting during the filming of GOLDENEYE always brings a smile. You can tell Brosnan was thrilled to have him there.

Happy Birthday to Timothy Dalton!
His passion for Bond is so endearing. You can’t help but love him. He knew *exactly* what he wanted to do with the role & we’re all grateful he got the chance to do it.

Today we remember Sir Roger Moore 7 years after his passing.
Thank you for the smiles, the action, and the memories. Nobody does it better.

“The humor had become too exaggerated, too tongue-in-cheek. When you go back to the books you're dealing with a real man, not a superman; a man beset with moral confusions, apathies and uncertainties, one who is often very frightened, nervous, and tense.” - Timothy Dalton
A VIEW TO A KILL is a damn good Bond film. I don’t care how old Moore is, he’s still great in the role! It has one of the best villains, awesome score, brilliant song, & multiple blimps! What more could you ask for?

QUANTUM OF SOLACE premiered 15 years ago. A film I’ll always go to bat for. Brutal, suave, hell-bent Bond. Continues to age beautifully.

THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS is the perfect tone for EON to emulate in Bond 26.
Introduce the new guy in style, already established relationships w Moneypenny/M/Q, cool car, assignment, you’re on your way. You know the name. You know the number. Let’s carry on.

“James Bond. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernst Stavro Blofeld. They told me you were assassinated in Hong Kong.”
“Yes, this is my second life.”
“You only live twice, Mr. Bond.”

ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE debuted otd in 1969.
Arguably the riskiest Bond film ever made & it proved to be one of the series Crown Jewels. Way ahead of its time. It’s only gotten better with age.
“But darling, now we have all the time in the world.”

One of the craziest (best?) endings to a Bond film that transitions to the best song in the franchise. LIVE AND LET DIE is just phenomenal.
#JamesBond

“You’ll be very useful in helping to convince the authorities that I mean what I say and I’ll do what I claim.”
Was Telly Savalas the best Blofeld?

THE DIAL OF DESTINY is pretty great, folks. I was drawn into the action, story and characters immediately. Where Indy begins and ends his journey in this film is beautiful. Very powerful character work here filled with regret but also hope. A worthy end for Dr. Jones.
TOMORROW NEVER DIES is relentless. Amazing gunbarrel, excellent score, creative action set pieces, memorable villain, & Brosnan bringing the style, charm, & drive to his 2nd outing. It’s a joyride, pure and simple.

A Bond film that I’ll happily throw on any time. It’s so easy to get swept away with this one.

‘On Her Majesty’s Service’ received its premiere OTD in 1969. In honor of that glorious day here’s Lazenby’s Bond doing something incredibly cool.

What happens when you combine Roger Moore at the top of his game, beautiful locations, an amazing Bond Girl, an iconic henchman, & a kickass car? You get arguably the greatest Bond film ever made.
Happy anniversary to THE SPY WHO LOVED ME! 🪂🇬🇧

Random Bond Thought:
The transition from day to night at the hotel in OHMSS is a thing of beauty. That score is just so smooth, too.

Dalton’s Bond run was all too brief but I feel satisfied with his journey in these two films.
An agent close to burnout in THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS. A man pushed over the edge in LICENCE TO KILL who maybe gets some closure he didn’t know he needed.

The rock climbing sequence in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY has to be one of the most harrowing stunts in all of Bond. It makes me nervous every single time I watch it.

ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE is one of the absolute best that Bond has to offer. Great story, engaging characters, beautifully directed, amazing locations, Barry’s best score. EON really swung for the fences on this one.

Dalton on Bond
“This theme of acidity, malaise keeps creeping back into each of the books. The real sense of distaste for who he is, what he is, and the world he’s working in because he’s old enough to recognize himself.”
#JamesBond

It’s one thing to direct multiple Bond films. It’s quite another for both of your films to serve as the introduction of a new Bond. And *then* to have those movies be Top Tier Bond Films?! Much respect to Martin Campbell.

What’s your favorite moment from your favorite John Glen Bond film?
I’m going with Bond meeting Columbo in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. I want to drink whiskey and go sailing with these guys.

Daniel Craig’s performance in CASINO ROYALE is on a whole other level. No one comes close to what he does in this film. Absolute perfection.
