Celebrating the best of James Bond in cinema, books and other mediums. Prefers to visit the sights of Venice via hovercraft. #BondTwitter #JamesBond

#NowWatching: Mission: Impossible.
Thirty years? I'm old, but it's a good excuse to revisit this. #MissionImpossible

@LunchBucketJoe7 This held up better than I expected. Was worried my memories were just nostalgia but it fits in beautifully amongst that era of Brosnan's first Bond and the first Mission.

#NowWatching: The Saint.
Loved this as a teenager, my first viewing in years.

@jpitchforth Living Daylights is in that place of having a main theme song by one 80s popular pop band and TWO others by another. Interesting, they were all composed by John Barry and he integrated all three into the score.

I ADORE this song. There's something about The Pretenders' love theme for The Living Daylights that genuinely strikes a melancholy and wistful note that feels so very, truly Bond. #JamesBond

@RansomStoddard1 I've often heard that but don't remember it. That's very crazy.

The way RoboCop went from a very hard 18-rated satirical action film to a family friendly second sequel and TV series that was suitable enough to air on British TV on Saturday afternoons will always kind of amaze me.

[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

RoboCop flying in RoboCop 3 (1993) is bad on almost every level, yet the movie plays it like a triumphant moment.
Still can’t believe they took the ultra-violent ’87 classic and turned it into a PG-13 toy commercial. And why does the window shatter before he even hits it?

@jpitchforth Now THAT is one hell of a run. I like it.

@rwatkins829 It's a rare, flustered moment from Bond. It's weirdly relatable. I'd be the same if Eva Green was all "yeah, I've checked you out and this is your size."

Not gonna lie, but weirdly I love how Vesper is all "I sized you up the moment we met." It's a flex I love. #JamesBond

He just nailed the 007 character in every movie he did.🍿🎥

@rwatkins829 Absolutely incredible special effects work on that scene. Ghoulish, imaginative, horrifying and weirdly funny. Of course, in the TV version he drives into it and...that's it.

[Licence to Tweet @QuantumofTweets]

@rwatkins829 Damn. That must have been simultaneously amazing and...traumatizing? My first time was when it premiered on ITV. Yep, THAT version.

[Licence to Tweet @QuantumofTweets]

@DamnCoffee007 I think the special sauce for the first movie was Verhoeven; a visceral director with an eye for brutality and hard-core violence, but wickedly witty to make the satire land. It helps that the first film has its moments of heart and sincerity when it comes to Murphy's humanity.

@rwatkins829 I forgot about the cartoon. But yeah, I was young enough at the time that I had the toys. I always wanted to rent the video of the original because it looked amazing. My parents emphatically said no. They were of course correct.

What's a movie scene from your childhood that still makes you feel nostalgic today?

[Licence to Tweet @QuantumofTweets]

Is A View to a Kill a great film? Maybe not. Is it unironically one of my all-time favorite films? Well, yes, it's that too.

[BlueBriefing🎬🍿 @Uzonna7]

A View to a Kill isn’t just Roger Moore’s last Bond, it’s the most unhinged 80s fever dream ever put to film.

57-year-old 007, Christopher Walken chewing scenery, Grace Jones, and a Duran Duran banger.

Cinema peaked here. Argue with the wall.

🎬🎥 A View To A Kill❤️🔥

@Osric_ It's the Dr No of Mission: Impossible. Not only in being the first in the franchise, but in having the formula firmly established and yet stripped back somehow, at its most raw and vibrant at the same time.

[Licence to Tweet @QuantumofTweets]

Loved it. I was 12 years old. Did I understand it all? Maybe I got a little lost with certain plot points, but the set-pieces and swagger of it certainly won over my spy movie loving heart.

[SpyHards - A Spy Movie Podcast @SpyHards]

Back in 1996, fans were surprisingly mixed on the first big screen MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE adventure for numerous reasons including that Phelps twist…

But what was your reaction when you first saw the film?
