Moonraker: My absolute favourite :)
For real?
I hated it when I first saw it, though since I've grown to appreciate it as a fun, campy ride. But favourite?
Definitely my favourite! To me, Bond should always be fun and campy... as well as inventive and artfully shot - which this entry is. I can understand why Moonraker might be considered *too* silly, of course :) But it works for me!
Fair enough. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the more campy, outlandish ones (Die Another Day is certainly one of my most rewatched Bond films) but my preference is for the slightly darker, more serious ones.
Which probably explains why Timothy Dalton is my fav Bond to date.
