Takes a giant leap for mankind
Advantages: Roger Moores biggest adventure as Bond
Disadvantages: Made in 1979, looks dated in parts
...that had not been used, Moonraker seemed the most appropriate for the time.
---The Source---
The title comes from Ian Flemings’ third Bond novel. Moonraker was released in April 1955. In the story Bond is asked, as a personal favour to M, to expose a member of the exclusive gentlemen's club called Blades, this person is suspected of cheating at cards. The man’s name is Hugo Drax; he is the Head of Britain's Moonraker rocket program. The stakes ...
...the end of the Inside Moonraker documentary there are a number of bloopers shown, which are quite rare. It also discusses the fact that this was the first time that a Bond production was based outside of Pinewood Studios; in fact this film was made mainly in France. The documentary shows what problems were faced with a different cultural way of working, and what was done to resolve the issues and move on. The documentaries that go behind the scenes ...

Connery lives twice again after this
Advantages: Great atmospheric and artistic Bond film
Disadvantages: Nothing really
...in 1967 with this offering, You Only Live Twice, once again starring the charismatic Sean Connery, but with Lewis Gilbert in the director's chair for this one.
The Plot
With the Cold War ever intense, criminal organisation S.P.E.C.T.R.E. tries another tack. American and Russian spacecraft have disappeared in outer space, and they are blaming each other. Anxious to avoid all out war, Bond is dispatched to Japan to seek out the perpetrators. This ...
...enter into a relationship.
You Only Live Twice was filmed almost entirely on location in Japan, and the filming is done marvellously, capturing the beauty of the countryside and the mountains and castles. The Japanese music employed in the film also sets the scene and the mood in all sequences. The acting and directing is also done very well, and I found myself enjoying this film from an angle different to that of a Bond film, more from a critical ...

All those feathers and he still can't fly!
Advantages: Grand scale fun
Disadvantages: Might be a bit fantastical for some
...fly!" The Spy Who Loved Me is the tenth entry in the James Bond franchise and the third to feature Roger Moore in the lead role. The film is one of the most famous and pivotal in the series and is generally regarded to be the one that established Moore as 007. The Spy Who Loved Me marked a return to the epic extravaganza Bond pictures of the sixties like Thunderball and You Only Live Twice, with incredible fantastical sets by Ken Adam and lavish ...
...was brought in to handle the most ambitious and complicated film yet attempted in the series. The Spy Who Loved Me cost twice as much as any previous Bond and the money is right there on the screen. It feels like a really big and ambitious film compared to many previous - and subsequent -Bond entries. Producer Cubby Broccoli built the largest soundstage in the world at Pinewood and spared no expense with the special-effects and spectacular locations, ...
