I love Dr No! It's the only one I own. Rocking movie. And that's not just jingoism.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My favorite Bond film is Goldfinger. It has Oddjob, "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!", the wonderfully named Pussy Galore, and all the elements that make a classic Bond flick without being too over the top.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Um, Pussy Galore isn't over the top??
My top is lower than yours.

Well, the name is, but the character wasn't, as opposed to Famke Jansen's Onatopp in Goldeneye (killing guys by crushing them with her long legs?).

Ann, that's a ferret.
And Pussy Galore is no more over the top than Moonraker's Holly Goodhead.

Plus Pussy Galore was Honor Blackman aka Cathy Gale, John Steed's first kick ass female side kick.
I loved Emma more, and Diana Rigg was definitely the better actress, but Cathy WAS all that and a bag of chips, too.
Thankfully, Linda Thorson was never a Bond girl. It's a shame Joanna Lumley never got to. Also a shame that MacNee's only appearence in a Bond film was with Moore in A View to a Kill.

I was just reading a review of Ronin, and the reviewer pointed out that the film has three Bond villain actors in it (Sean Bean, Jonathan Pryce, and Michael Lonsdale).
Can anyone think of a movie that has more?

What a fun movie it would be! Yaphet Kotto meets the dude from The Great Escape! Klaus Barbie beats up Boromir!
Mayhem on ice! Everybody skate!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
