As usual, this list is pretty much what you'd expect from our wonderful subreddit. There's a bit of recency bias and maybe some movies that are popular with the reddit demographic are higher than they might be if this list was voted on by paid critics or what have you, but my strategy with this list has always been check it out and if there's movies on here you haven't seen then give them a try because they are probably pretty good! If you spend too much time thinking about the numerical rankings you'll just drive yourself nuts. That said, here's some interesting points about the 2017 Reddit Top 250!
This is the first year ever that Pulp Fiction did not take the top spot. That's huge, it usually wins by a mile no competition. So without further adieu, let's all welcome our new overlord The Dark Knight with open arms.
Here is the list on letterboxd in case you crave their formatting!
43 films fell off the list this year with Synecdoche, New York being the one falling farthest from its former #125 spot. I actually blame myself for that, I submitted that one personally last year and I didn't submit any this year and I believe it didn't get posted for a day or so so it probably lost votes there. Oh how fragile this list is! I'll be posting the other movies that fell off the list in a comment in this thread.
Six Tarantino films, six Coen Brothers films, two Kurosawa, seven Scorsese films, five Nolan films, five Fincher films, three Zemeckis films, five Wes Anderson films, four Hitchcock films, and four Paul Thomas Anderson films. All five Nolan films are in the top 50 and both of Damien Chazelle's films are in the top 25.
Speaking of Chazelle, La La Land is exactly 105 spots ahead of Moonlight.
12 films that came out in 2016 made the list.
We recognize that this list tends to have a recency bias so this year we also made an alternate version of the list where we didn't allow any movies from the past five years. It's called the No Recency Bias List and it's right here to check out!
Lego Movie saw the biggest rise from one place on the list to another gaining 137 spots this year.
The Terminator saw the biggest drop off while still staying on the list losing 132 spots this year.
Our resident James Bond expert GetFreeCash also requested I mention that Casino Royale surprisingly went up 100 spots this year! I say surprisingly because usually movies in the 5-10 year old sweet spot don't move too much.
So yeah. There it is. Much earlier than we got it up last year. Big thanks to GetFreeCash and mi-16evil for doing some of the legwork on getting the list compiled and the fun facts for me, and as always a big thanks to everyone who submitted films and voted on your favorites! Enjoy judging this list harshly and looking down on everyone who uses the same internet movie forum you do!
After my last post about Regulus and bringing up the Nov 14th date spoken about in the Trackdown - End of the World Episode again, I started doing some more digging. It's important you read that post before you can understand this one. You can find it here. The name of the asteroid that occulted the star Regulus for 14 seconds on March 20, 2014 was called 163 Erigone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/163_Erigone
163 Erigone is an asteroid from the asteroid belt and the namesake of the Erigone family of asteroids that share similar orbital elements and properties. It was discovered by French astronomer Henri Joseph Perrotin on April 26, 1876, and named after one of the two Erigones in Greek mythology. Erigone is a relatively large and dark asteroid with an estimated size of 73 km. Based upon its spectrum, it is classified as a C-type asteroid, which indicates that it probably has a carbonaceous composition. 2014 occultation of Regulus In the early morning hours of March 20, 2014, Erigone occulted the first-magnitude star Regulus as first predicted by A. Vitagliano in 2004. This would have been a rare case of an occultation of a very bright star visible from a highly populated area, since the shadow path moved across New York state and Ontario, including all five boroughs of New York City. Observers in the shadow path would have seen the star wink out for as long as 14 seconds. However, heavy clouds and rain blocked the view for most if not all people on the shadow path. The website of the International Occultation Timing Association does not list any successful observations at all. Two single chord Asteroid Occultation events have been observed, in 2013 and 2014
The fact that no one actually witnessed it is REALLY interesting and must play some sort of dynamic to all of this. The name Erigone seems to refer to 2 different Greek goddesses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erigone_(daughter_of_Icarius))
Icarius was cordial towards Dionysus, who gave his shepherds wine. They became intoxicated and killed Icarius, thinking he had poisoned them. His daughter, Erigone, and her dog, Maera, found his body. Erigone hanged herself over her father's grave. Dionysus was angry and punished Athens by making all of the city's maidens commit suicide in the same way. Erigone was placed in the stars as the constellation Virgo. According to Ovid, Dionysus "deceived Erigone with false grapes", that is, assumed the shape of a grape cluster to approach and seduce her.
Dionysus was the god of winemaking. He was responsible for the growth of the vines.
John 15 "I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful."
Erigone would have been slain by Orestes along with her brother Aletes if not for the intervention of Artemis, who rescued her and made her a priestess in Attica. In some stories, she hangs herself after the child is born, though this may be a confusion with Erigone, daughter of Icarius. Also, after Hermione died, she is said to have married Orestes and gave birth to Penthilus. Or it is said she sued Orestes to murder of her parents.
Orestes murdered his own mother then went crazy. Satan/Yahweh have other gods related to them where they are rejected by their mothers or don't have one, which is why they are narcissists who hate women and why we he kicks Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden (Mother Nature) and curses women to be subservient to men (read more about this idea here). Revelation speaks of the Red Dragon trying to kill a newborn baby and the woman who birthed him. She then goes somewhere in the wilderness, where God held a place for her until its time. God in this story apparently, is Artemis or Diana. She's not dead, she's just hiding until Orestes (humanity) attones for what he did. This stuff correlates to so much more, I might have to make another post just about this. I came across this date (11/14) towards the beginning of my journey and I never went back looking into it because it felt like a dead end besides a couple of VERY key significances. Nov 14th is both the day the "Great Comet" is discovered in 1680 and the day that Einstein presented his Quantum Theory of Light in 1908. Looking at this list now, I see WAY more correlations with this to the point it's getting ridiculous. And it seems this date is a sort of pendulum point in time because we have instances of people winning their freedoms, overtaking governments and rulers being killed and we have instances of enslavement, attacks and new kings getting crowned. I wonder which way Earth is going to go in this timeline. Also important to note 11/14 = 1 + 4 = 5 = 11/5 = 1 + 1 + 5 = 7 "Remember, Remember the 5th of November"

This seems to imply we'll be at union with both the masculine and the feminine. But all of these events seem to be polar opposites so who knows. It almost seems like women are going to take over and we're trading places. Like Dumuzid and Inanna. If this is the coming of the True Antichrist, then it won't be good and balance will not be achieved through them.

While eating, some boys draw straws to see who will ask for more to eat, and the job falls to a boy named Oliver Twist. He goes up to Bumble and Widow Corney, who run the workhouse and serve the gruel, and asks for more. Enraged, Bumble takes Oliver to the governors to see what to do with him ("Oliver!"). A decision is made to have Oliver sold into service. Bumble parades Oliver through the snow, trying to sell him to the highest bidder ("Boy for Sale"). Oliver is sold to an undertaker named Mr. Sowerberry, who intends to use him as a mourner for children's funeral

Maui, the shapeshifting demigod and master of sailing, steals the heart to give humanity the power of creation. However, Te Fiti disintegrates, and Maui is attacked by Te Kā, a volcanic demon, losing both his magical giant fishhook and the heart to the depths. A millennium later, Moana, daughter of Motunui's chief Tui, is chosen by the ocean to return the heart to Te Fiti. However, Tui arrives and takes Moana away, causing her to lose the heart.

Jesus referred to a Canaanite woman as a dog once. Trump also called Omarosa a "dog". Keeping with my theory that almost 100% of the negative things Trump says about a person are projection, which means he's really talking about himself, this is very interesting. Especially with his love for Black and Gold color schemes on his "Towers" which is very Egyptian. Ramses II also had red hair. Which means he was an Edomite. Ramses II is mentioned specifically on Cleopatra's Needle, one of which is a mile away from the black inverted obelisk that is Trump Tower. Ramses II sounds an AWFUL lot like Trump. Loved to build monuments to himself and over exaggerated his accomplishments. He is very revered though and thought of as a great Pharaoh, according to what was written about him at least.

The theme songs for Daniel Craigs Bond movies really sum up how I feel about each movie.
Casino Royale: This was a new edgier and rougher Bond. A solid hard rock song that fits the more hard egded Bond. Quantum of Solace: An odd song that doesnt really work and fails to follow up on the high quality of its predecessor. Quite forgetable. Skyfall: An Oscar worthy(winning in fact) instant classic. Both song and film received some of the highest praise the series has ever had, and are both considered among the best in the series. Spectre: Has potential, but feels like to much of an attempt to copy the magic of Skyfall, but ends up feeling like a pale imitation. EDIT: As some have said, did not deserve the Oscar. Sorry if this has been posted before.
James Bond has become such a modern staple in our culture, it depressed me to realise that I’d never watched a Bond film the full way through. Hints of Thunderball and The Living Daylights appeared in the back of my mind, but I had somehow never sat myself down to watch any of them. With the release of the first Skyfall trailer, I decided that I should watch the lot. Seeing as I had never seen a 007 film the full-way through, I decided that with the release of Skyfall (November 15 in Aus, late as hell), I would have a Bond marathon of sorts as to fully prepare and invest myself into the 007 universe. Here’s the basic rundown of what I did ———————————————————————————————————
Watched each Bond film every Saturday in the order they were released (usually around 7pm)
Only EON/MGM/United Artists/Paramount films (No Never Say Never Again or the 60’s Casino Royale, maybe later)
Realising that I had organised the timing incorrectly to end on Skyfall, I skipped a week between The Living Daylights and GoldenEye (the longest real-life break between Bond films)
——————————————————————————————————— June 16th kicked it off with Dr. No, very different to how I expected a first James Bond film to turn out. It’s clear now that they were just finding their footing in how to shape 007 for the film world. The primary thing I noticed when watching this (and the first 5 films): Connery just oozes with class. This is what I think of when I think of James Bond. Dr. No itself seemed like a reasonably weak Bond movie, but it’s brought up to a whole new level due to Connery’s delivery and actions. Honey Ryder’s pretty, Dr. No’s a reasonably interesting villain, so we’re off to a reasonably good start. From Russia With Love seems like an entirely different movie, and that definitely isn’t a bad thing. While Dr. No is quite a simply structured movie experience, FRWL ends up as a sort of wonderfully intense spy thriller. The pace is miles slower that Dr. No, but this probably has some of the best acting of the series, wonderful sets, great villains, great action (when it has it) and easily the best use of a Bond gadget in my eyes. An absolutely fantastic follow-up, and a great, great movie, Bond or not And here we are at what is believed to be the peak of the series, Goldfinger. When I started compiling this marathon, I felt that I wouldn’t think Goldfinger would really be the best. And… it is the best. While it’s been a close ride (and I mean close) there is still no Bond film in my mind that is better than this one. Connery at the top of his game, great villain, great Bond girls, great theme song, and a full introduction to one of the series’ best characters, Q. This is also the Bond film that sets the stables for its future siblings, basically making it the film that got everything right. When people who have not seen a Bond film are interesting in seeing them but not all, Goldfinger will always be the first film I’ll recommend. After the emotional rise of Goldfinger, I was reasonably excited to see Thunderball, as it was the first Bond I had memories of seeing in parts. And… it was disappointing to say the least. On reflection, this was in my mind the worst Connery film (yet to see NSNA). It definitely isn’t Connery’s fault, nor the villains, nor the writers. What seems to be a pretty interesting premise gets bogged down by a snail’s pace and drawn out underwater shots. FRWL was definitely slow in pace, but it was filled with fantastic dialogue and a sense of build-up. In this, it feels like nothing’s happening. The villain’s not very interesting, I don’t even remember the Bond girl, I was left thoroughly disappointed by something I thought was great. It might have been just because of the disappointment from the last week, but You Only Live Twice was probably my biggest surprise of the Bond series. I still have no idea why, but this to me was the funnest of the Bond films to watch. Besides the first full reveal of Blofeld, there’s nothing that seems truly spectacular in the general viewers mind, and while Connery’s Asian disguise looks like an shaved tanned Burt Reynolds, the cinematography’s nice, the actions a whole lot of fun, and it has one of the best end sequences of all the films. Definitely the most entertaining and wackiest of the lot without going too overboard. The next film, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, was one I was expecting to have mixed feelings about. It was the first without Connery, and Lazenby was only there for the one movie. On the other hand, I had read much critical buzz (at least from our timeframe) of how underrated and great this film was, with filmmakers like Christopher Nolan naming it their favourite Bond movie. It’s definitely a film of two halves. The first half is borderline boring, setting up what seems to be a weak plotline, with Lazenby reading his lines like a robot. What saves the movie is the last hour. Tense, exciting, very visually beautiful, and a great ski scene, which at the time, I thought was really creative. Blofeld is wonderfully intimidating, thanks to a good performance by Terry Savalas. Dianna Rigg also plays, in my mind, the best Bond girl ever, no wonder she was the one to marry him. I think if Connery stayed on for this film, it would have been considered one of the greats. I still think it’s one of the best, just a bit too long. To keep it short, I didn’t like Diamonds Are Forever. Awfully cheesy, the character of Blofeld was nothing short of terrible, and, my primary issue, Connery was too old for the role. This issue comes up soon in the series (which I’ll get to) but when Connery returned, he was not the same Bond. He just seemed to have this creepy uncle vibe in the movie, I just couldn’t believe that someone like him could “get” this many young attractive women. What happened next was quite a blur, and to be honest, I don’t know if I particularly want to remember it. The Roger Moore era in my mind is the biggest low-point in the series, not because they are particularly bad, but because they are so unbelievably average. The only thing I remember from Live and Let Die was the theme song. Christopher Lee and James Bond fighting a dwarf are the only things that I can picture when thinking about The Man With The Golden Gun. I guess The Spy Who Loved Me was a bit better, but the second half is one I hardly remember. Moonraker’s just ridiculous, and the Jaws relationship didn’t seem anything else but lame. It’s from For Your Eyes Only that I draw the line with Bond films, not only because they are basically the same movie, but Moore is just way too old to be Bond. Throughout FYEO, Octopussy and A View To A Kill, Moore came off to me as a creepy uncle as opposed to that of a classy Brit. A View To A Kill is probably what I consider the worst of the Bond films, mainly because I was just annoyed at the end of what I had witnessed as one of the most bland 6 weeks of film viewing I’ve ever had in my life. My hopes were high for Dalton in his debut, The Living Daylights, and unlike Thunderball, this film delivered on every level. Well-shot, a reasonably strong sense of humour (not necessarily from Dalton himself), exciting action scenes, wonderful Bond girl, and one of the best endings of all the Bond films. Upon reflection, Dalton is definitely my favourite Bond. He had a sense of class and viciousness about the character, and most importantly, he was human. A lot of people don’t view Licence To Kill with too much love, and I agree that TLD was much better, but it’s a great Bond film with a great villain, henchmen, and a real sense of risk. Dalton, in my mind, was too ahead of his time, he was almost the original Craig, but I’ll get to that later. Sadly, Dalton never got a third film, and thus, after a 6 year wait, Pierce Brosnan took the role. Goldeneye was his first, and what a movie to start on. While nothing in it is particualrly ground-breakingly brilliant, this is still one of the funnest, most exciting Bond movies (up there with YOLT). The film is regularly overshadowed by its N64 video game adaptation, with isn’t really fair. As for Brosnan himself, his Bond was very much to me like a ‘greatest hits’ album. He combined all of the previous parts of Bond. He’s got the class of Connery, one-liners of Moore and the rawness of Dalton (I guess he’s got Lazenby’s, um, walking ability), but just like any other greatest hits album, something is always missing, but I don’t know what. I guess I thought whatever it was, it would be fixed in the later films. It’s wasn’t… Regarding Tomorrow Never Dies, I think the remote control car chase was pretty cool, but the villain (who in this day and age looks much like a Julian Assange/Steve Jobs hybrid) was rather bland, there’s nothing particularly different about the Bond girl(s), and it didn’t really piece itself together too well. The World Is Not Enough was disappointing. Not because I expected much from the premise, but this is the best Brosnan acting as Bond of the lot, and he’s been given this schmaltz. Die Another Day had a reasonably interesting first half (particularly enjoyed the sword fight), but things got beyond ridiculous (I take it I don’t have to go into detail) Obviously I’m not alone in thinking DAD was one of the worst, as the film nearly took Bond out of cinema for good, but 2006 came along, and we got Casino Royale. A lot of people don’t see this as a true Bond film, but I have no idea why. This has all the elements of Bond revamped and stylised for the modern world. Daniel Craig shines here, blowing off all adversary of the media and playing easily one of the best Bonds. Eva Green is also brilliant as Vesper, as well as the rest of the supporting cast. It’s reasonably long, but you enjoy it so much the time absolutely flies. The best opening sequence in all of Bond, great action and wonderful Bond atmosphere make it close to the best and definitely the best this type of new Bond could give us. With the success of CR, Quantum of Solace would inevitably be coming soon, and it did, just 2 years later, for old times sake. While many people seem to despise it, I don’t particularly mind the film. Craig is decent, and as the only immediate follow-up Bond movie so far, it’s pretty interesting. It kept my attention (which I can’t say for some of the others on this list), but I can definitely see why people didn’t like it. Many people accuse Craig’s Bond films as a Bourne rip-off, and this is a prime example. As gritty as it may be, shaky-cam action does not fit a James Bond film, half the time you can’t even tell what’s going on. Other than that, I don’t really have anything against QOS, it’s just not particularly special As I write this, Skyfall has just past through my viewing, making it 23 weeks (close to 6 months) since I began with Dr. No, and to be honest, it feels like it’s come full-circle. I feel really privileged and lucky that I got to end my marathon on a movie as great as this. Everything about this film was near-perfect, and it might be the first Bond to win an Oscar, thanks to Roger Deakins’ stunning cinematography and Sam Mendes’ direction. Great acting all around, a wonderful re-introduction to classic characters and a wonderfully twisted villain in Javier Bardem make it an absolute treat to both Bond and movie fans alike. In conclusion, I’m glad I watched all of them. Even the Bond films I consider the worst I wouldn’t rate below a 5/10, as I believe there is always something good to be found in them. Should they be judged differently from other films because we consider this series a part of our society? Well, yes and no. Films like FRWL, Casino Royale and Skyfall show that there are many twists and turns in the Bond formula, as well as multiple ways to represent them. If you asked me for rankings, they would roughly be something like this… ACTORS

You're a kite flying in a hurricane, Mr. Bond. A deeper(ish) look at Spectre (2015) [NOTE: This article begins with a non-spoiler overview]
Hey folks! While this is the last of the film reviews for the James Bond franchise, I will be posting a series recap in the near future that will include some fun stuff like my subjective ranking of the films (as opposed to these which I have tried to keep relatively objective), the Bond actors, the villains, and the Bond girls. Until then, please enjoy my review of Spectre!
Overall Impression (No spoilers) I’ll begin with my overview for those that just want a quick summary without getting into potential spoilers. Let it be known up front that Spectre is not a bad film. It is technically proficient in nearly every way, it has moments of amusing dialogue, and it knows all the right beats that it needs to hit when it comes to the action sequences. That said, it film will undoubtedly go down as the biggest wastes of potential in the entire 007 franchise. Spectre sets up several fantastic storylines and characters, including covert Illuminati-esque organizations, worldwide surveillance, a brilliant psychologist with a tortured past, and of course the exceptional Christoph Waltz. And sadly the film squanders each and every one of them. These fascinating storylines are set up and more or less abandoned almost instantly. New and exotic locations are rushed through in an effort to simply get to the next one — which is ultimately rushed through in order to get to the next one, and so on. And sadly, Waltz is criminally underused. Every last ounce of charisma is zapped from him. It’s not that he’s just cold, quiet, and sinister or brooding and subtle. On the contrary, Waltz is just flat out dull. He is among the most boring Bond characters of all time — a fact that is doubly as frustrating considering we know what he is capable of. All in all, this is a film that works to ensure that a sufficient number of the traditional Bond traditions are fulfilled and does so dutifully. It even manages to recover Bond’s MIA humorous side. But sadly this is not enough to redeem an at-times-exciting but ultimately hollow and frustrating Spectre. Story (SPOILERS) Daniel Craig has had the unique experience of being the first actor to cover such ground as Bond's initiation into the 00 program, his lust for revenge (I'm not going to count the opening of Diamonds Are Forever because frankly that sequence should never be recounted for any reason, period), his loyalty toward his superiors, and so on. Most notably, we've received a healthy dose of James Bond: The Human Being. Casino Royale was a triumph in its ability to show that 007 can have intellectual and emotional conversations that are relatable and meaningful. Unfortunately, in a world where the origin story has become a convenient route to explore human emotion, the writers (Purvis, Wade, and Logan return, alongside newcomer Butterworth) seem hellbent on scraping that barrel clean. The ten minute discussion between Bond and Vesper on the train in Casino was all I ever needed to know about James Bond and his history. I was rather dismayed when Skyfall felt the need to bring us to his childhood home and, needless to say, I was further disappointed when Spectre decided to take it a step further. The latest film in the 007 franchise inadvertently pays homage to the very series that had satirized the Bond series to begin with (is that confusing enough for you?) by pulling a Goldmember and revealing that James himself shares a childhood history with this newfound archenemy. That's right. Spectre stoops down to the same plot line that every soap opera inevitably hits at some point. If Spectre is guilty of anything, it is of squandering an immense amount of potential. I positively love the idea of 007 uncovering something as unnerving as a mysterious organization in the vein of the Illuminati. To see such an eerie concept played out right, you need look no further than a film like Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. Rather than drawing out this realization out, instilling a sense of paranoia, and making our skin crawl, Bond simply drops in on the meeting after a little bit of recon and then things get all action-y. Thus there is no unnerving moment of frightened when we see just how far reaching this organization really is. There has been no greater point of frustration with Bond fans than the wasted potential of Christoph Waltz. The man who exploded onto the scene in 2009, winning Oscars for consecutive appearances in Tarantino films falls flat on his face here. There is no charisma, there is no intimidation, there is no creepiness, there is nothing. It pains me greatly to say this since I thought I had died and gone to heaven when it was first announced that he would be playing a Bond villain… but Christoph Waltz's Blofeld is one of the most dull Bond villains of all time. Sadly the film does the exact same for its leading lady, Lea Seydoux. Presenting the audience with another independent and interesting female character, the film ultimately lets her fizzle out by restraining her to the familiar trappings of the tag-along-girlfriend-turned-damsel-in-distress. More than that, however, I was most frustrated by the lack of usage of her psychological background. This is a woman who has presumably studied the intricacies of the human psyche and here she is, paired with a paid assassin with a horrific past. And we get nothing from that. Instead, we get one of the most perplexing confessions of love between two people who met... like... two days prior? Now it's not all bad. Spectre does has many things that diehard Bond fans will thoroughly enjoy (because let's be honest, Spectre is not by any stretch of the imagination the first Bond film to have a weak story). Dave Bautista's Mr. Hinx is a perfect throwback to the old OddJob style henchmen. The snowcapped mountainside chase scene and train fight scene fit perfectly into the 007 mold. Craig even managed to get a touch of humor back. Watching a drunken Bond playfully interrogating a mouse had to be one of the most memorable scenes from the series. Look and Sound While the story is underwhelming in just about every way, the visuals are in the same ballpark as the rest of Craig's outings. While not reaching the astonishing heights set by Casino or Skyfall, the cinematography, production design, and stunts are all still among the best in the series. Thomas Newman's score was decent. I appreciate the increase in usage of the Bond theme, however it did, at times, feel like he was leaning on it rather heavily. Unfortunately this is all overshadowed by the fact that Sam Smith's "Writing's on the Wall" has got to be one of the worst songs ever recorded for a 007 film. I mean… it's not as bad as those lousy '80s ballads during the Moore years, nor is it as bad as Madonna's… well whatever that was for Die Another Day, but it's right down there. The song is dull and Smith's vocals feel entirely out of place when compared to the best singers of the series. This is all especially frustrating as we come off of Adele's performance in Skyfall, which I believe to be one of the best of the franchise. Callbacks, Recurrences, and Tropes One of the immediately noticeable returns to tradition is the opening gun barrel scene, which has been restored to the beginning of the film. This transitions into a cold open, title sequence, and theme song, per usual. As Spectre is very much a continuation of Daniel Craig's story, there are many (heavy-handed) recurring narrative threads and characters. Ralph Fiennes returns as M; Naomi Harris, Ben Whishaw, and Rory Kinnear all return as Moneypenny, Q, and Chief of Staff Bill Tanner, respectively; Jesper Christiansen reprises his role as Mr. White after an absence in Skyfall. There are numerous references to previous villains and events in Craig's canon. Judi Dench makes a cameo in a recording as M and there are plenty of images and references to Le Chiffre, Dominic Greene, and Raoul Silva. Spectre ratchets up the gadgets a bit, though we're still quite a ways away from where the series once was. On top of that, we also have a car chase, train fight, and countdown. Bond also has opportunities to utter both of his iconic phrases. Quick Hits
