Duh. What a dork. Wake and bake was brutal this am, changed the title.

**GeezerSteve** · 01-03-2020, 12:51 PM

That's a good one but #1 is Goldfinger, #2 Dr. No

You can’t go changing the damn title. How is that even possible anyway?

Best Bond Movie is way different than Best Bond Ski Movie.

I thought OHMSS was the one where Rick Sylvester did the jump.
You ruined my fantasy. I knew someone who was in some of the scenes in OHMSS.
If you go advanced on an edit, it can be done. The change stands..

Maybe best Bond stunts...my intro to Bond was the parachute ski jump but I like this one more. Someone on the set did it for cash if I recall correctly

This

Not going to watch the new one, ever.

**Garth Bimble** · 01-05-2020, 09:06 PM

Goldfinger has to be #1.

The Spy Who Loved Me for the ski scene and Carly Simon's "Nobody Does it Better" theme for #2.

Die Another Day. Epic.

That is up there in the top 10 awesome things that anyone has ever done on skis.

I hope whoever decided to put the slide whistle in there lost their job.

**cbgarrett** · 01-06-2020, 09:31 AM

Probably blasphemy to some, but
#1 Skyfall
#2 Casino Royale (2006)

What kind of bindings are they using?

Asking for a friend.

There is an almost feverishly cultish love of OHMSS out in the wilds of the Webz...

For me, the Union Jack base jump from The Spy Who Loved Me is straight up tits in regards to skiing stunts culled from the Bond archives.

But my personal favorite film is For Your Eyes Only. It has the least amount of hokey gadgets and Roger Moore plays the role rather straight. I re-watched it recently and it's aged pretty well, plus I have a bit of a soft spot for it in terms of nostalgia as it was the second Bond film I ever saw in the theater (Moonraker was the first).

Definitely my #2 theme song as well. My #1 is Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only":

Agreed! The theme song still gives me the feels when I hear it.

I'm torn on WHICH Bond, though. I usually say that Connery was the best Bond hands down, but I'm pretty partial to Roger Moore as well but that could also be nostalgia talking since I grew up with his films as a kid. He was a damn good Bond no matter what, though.

Weren't those intros just the greatest?! Dang. Now I need to go on (yet another) 007 binge watch. I own all of them but the newest film.

**jerlane** · 01-07-2020, 06:59 AM

This was definitely not one of the best Bond films ever, but I always enjoyed the opening scene of A View To A Kill. One of the first mainstream snowboard scenes. Tom Sims if I recall correctly.

Liked the Cortina scenery and skiing in the bobsled run...

Did Sims do a swallowtail board? He wasn't Winterstick was he?
