She's probably the most physically attractive to me, but her voice and personality in that movie kills it.

Jill St. John delivers one of my favorite lines, "Hiya, Ernst! Is Superman here giving you any trouble?"

(Quote may not be exact, it's been awhile since I've seen it. I'm confident someone will correct me if I'm wrong.)

I'm not saying it makes them unwatchable, it just grates enough to drop them below some of the more modern entries.

Totally agree... that's why I don't watch the 80's and 90's entries.

From Russia With Love is my favorite Bond movie.

Mine too. A spy thriller with no (outlandish) sci-fi elements to ruin it.

Nah man, if I may be superficial, I just don't find Bach attractive at all. Her eyes are too buggy looking to me. As for personality, I don't know what she's like in real life, but in TSWLM she is totally devoid of any personality or emotion. Whether she's angry at Bond for killing her lover, or grateful to Bond for saving her life on the train, she has the same flat, monotone line delivery that makes me wish somehow she and Caroline Munro had switched roles.

Except the older films used ot also be "modern entries," which is why that's irrelevant.

[koberulz]

Is that supposed to be a proper sentence, or did you just randomly type words?

I hear you and respect your opinion. I'm just saying for me it doesn't grate at all because I view it as a period film, basically. I wish modern period films portrayed things as they were too, but they tend to censor the past, which I think is foolish personally.

I wouldn't worry about Bates Motel. Most people have him on Ignore. He has problems posting comments that are not sarcastic or an attempt to ridicule another member.
You'll be hard pushed to find someone more unpleasant on any moderated forum anywhere

Coming this Tuesday:

LA-LA LAND RECORDS RELEASES EXPANDED AND REMASTERED “THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH” LIMITED EDITION SOUNDTRACK (2-CD SET).

COMPOSED BY DAVID ARNOLD

La-La Land Records, Universal Music Special Markets, EON Productions and Metro Goldwyn Mayer proudly present the remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue release of the original motion picture score to the 1999 feature film THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, starring Pierce Brosnan as James Bond 007, Sophie Marceau and Robert Carlyle, and directed by Michael Apted. Renowned composer David Arnold (QUANTUM OF SOLACE, CASINO ROYALE, DIE ANOTHER DAY, TOMORROW NEVER DIES) fashions a tremendous musical work -- his second in the James Bond canon. It’s an epic score that keeps breathless pace with James Bond himself, musically matching all of the film’s globe-spanning adventure, drama, romance and suspense with sophistication and excitement. As he began with TOMORROW NEVER DIES, Arnold continues to push the contemporary edge of the score, whilst honoring the series’ classic musical legacy.

Remastered and expanded, with previously unreleased music, this 2-CD deluxe presentation showcases Arnold’s score in stellar fashion. Among this re-issue’s unreleased treasures are two early song demos performed by the composer. The official title song, performed by Garbage, is also contained in this program. Produced by David Arnold and Neil S. Bulk, and mastered by Doug Schwartz, from original stereo digital tapes provided by MGM, this special release is limited to 5000 units and features exclusive, in-depth liner notes by writer Tim Greiving, which include new comments from the composer and famed Bond lyricist Don Black as well as director Apted. Dan Goldwasser’s sharp art design, based on the original US poster for the film, ties up this must-have release in precise and classy fashion.

THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH limited edition 2-CD set retails at $29.98 and is exclusively available at http://www.lalalandrecords.com, 007store.com, and other online soundtrack boutiques.

Underrated Bond movie in general.
