      Very nice list Modee! I could have gone on and on but kept it brief. I could not fault one of your choices. Wonderful range of old and new, domestic and international

      I note also you're a Bond fan, but can't believe you didn't include Goldfinger!

      Do you maintain a large DVD collection or do you store everything digitally?

        I have a lot of all legitimate DVDs but lately been using this app available on jailbroken iPhones called MovieBox.

        I actually have every Bond movie on DVD, but for some reason I gravitate to those two (OHMSS and DAF) for repeated viewings. I do also like You Only Live Twice a lot. Basically I think all Connery and Moore Bonds are good or great, and some of the others good or great too.

          I watched DAF again after you mentioned it, I wouldn't include it as one of the top Bonds - Connery looks so old in it he's no longer 007.

          You Only Live Twice - is that where he has surgery to make him look Japanese?

          OHMSS was a great MOVIE but it was ruined by the actor, he was so posh and camp it was more like comedy watching him in a fight.

          The best Bonds in my opinion are Goldfinger, Dr No, Goldeneye and Casino Royale. Skyfall was a good half a movie but was less than the sum of its parts. Spectre was a huge disappointment.
