- DirectorJohn GlenStarsTimothy DaltonRobert DaviCarey LowellA vengeful James Bond goes rogue to infiltrate and take down the organization of a drug lord who has murdered his friend's new wife and left him near death.Just before the series went into hibernation,Timothy Dalton gave what is,the definitive portrait of James Bond,with director John Glenn putting 007 straight through the rigger,as Dalton shows Bond to be a man who has finally realized that he can't rely on anyone else from Bond Girls to MI6 in his battle for survival.
- DirectorPeter R. HuntStarsGeorge LazenbyDiana RiggTelly SavalasBritish agent James Bond goes undercover to pursue the villainous Ernst Stavro Blofeld, who is planning to hold the world to ransom.Originally seen as a low-point for the series,history now shows Secret Service to not just be a classic Bond,but also a Spy/Action film classic thanks to director Peter Hunt (who had edit the past Bond movies with his amazing,ahead of their time editing "tricks") expertly mixing breath taking action scenes,with an unexpected delicate focus that gets to the very heart of James Bond,and also leads to the series being given,what is still its most powerful ending.
- DirectorGuy HamiltonStarsRoger MooreYaphet KottoJane SeymourJames Bond is sent to stop a diabolically brilliant heroin magnate armed with a complex organisation and a reliable psychic tarot card reader.Proving that the series could survive the loss of its own lead actor (s) Roger Moore gives 007 a terrific dose of witty charm,as Tom Mankiewicz gets Bond to enter a Blaxploition spooky Voodoo world,with Moore's Bond having to take on the fantastic Mr.Big/Kananga,played by the wonderful Yaphet Kotto.
- DirectorTerence YoungStarsSean ConneryRobert ShawLotte LenyaJames Bond willingly falls into an assassination plot involving a naive Russian beauty in order to retrieve a Soviet encryption device that was stolen by the organization Spectre.Showing that Bond was here to stay,director Terrence Young (who also directed the highly praised proto-Giallo Wait Until Dark) gives the movie a strong,confident swagger,with the series goes from its nervous beginnings with Dr.No,to Young delivering what is still one of the series most edge of the seat set pieces:the Orient Express fight.
- DirectorMichael AptedStarsPierce BrosnanSophie MarceauRobert CarlyleJames Bond uncovers a nuclear plot while protecting an oil heiress from her former kidnapper, an international terrorist who can't feel pain.Whilst this Bond (which is currently the only Bond that I have seen at the cinema 3 times!) does have a few reality-breaking moments, ( Denise Richards...as a nuclear scientist!) the movie makes many of the flaws easy to forgive,thanks to a storming opening Action set piece on the Thames,and a brilliant performance from Sophie Marceau as Elektra King,who along with being one of the few Bond Girls to really get under 007's skin,also has a relationship with Renard, (played by a great Robert Carlyle) that has had a big impact on Action films of the last 10 years.
