I was today years old when I realised James Bond has a signature kick. Now I can’t unsee it. Has anyone else noticed this? 👀

Just stumbled across this brilliant advert with Desmond Llewelyn promoting the VHS release of GOLDENEYE. Back when Bond came home on tape… and Q Branch helped sell it. Who else had this on VHS?

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE II is overhated. John Woo at the helm. Metallica and Limp Bizkit on the soundtrack. “Bike-fu” jousting. Slow-motion knife fights. We were eating GOOD in 2000.

Back in 1977, Rick Sylvester skied off the edge of Mount Asgard and into the history books when he filmed the opening stunt for THE SPY WHO LOVED ME… But is it THE most iconic stunt in #JamesBond history?

THE ROCKETEER is still one of my favourite Disney movies, it’s got a great James Horner score and a whole lot of heart. It was totally slept on by audiences upon release and I could never figure out why…

Screenwriter Bruce Feirstein pitched an edit to this scene that changed it from cool to iconic… Notice that they don’t explain how Bond stole the tank? He looks at it, then BANG, he’s through the wall, that’s economical storytelling 101, and why GOLDENEYE still holds up!

The Hunt For Red October (1990) is sheer perfection for many reasons but one element I particularly enjoy is the competency porn. It’s about intelligent people trying to outthink one another. Modern films should be taking notes from scenes like this…

“Bond doesn’t change. The world changes around him.” Bruce Feirstein told us that was the key to making GOLDENEYE work in the 1990s — and no scene explains it better than Bond’s first meeting with Judi Dench’s M. Hear the full story:

I will never understand why Guy Ritchie’s THE MAN FROM UNCLE didn’t connect with audiences. It looks great with a truly tremendous cast and most importantly, it’s a ton of fun! We should be on our fifth sequel by now…

Roger Moore felt that this moment in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY was too callous, but for me, it always left me wanting to see a harder edge to his 007… What do you think, was it a step too far?

THE IPCRESS FILE (1965) — the spy film that put Michael Caine on the map and gave 007 a run for his money. With the passing of Len Deighton, now feels like the perfect time to revisit it. But is it the best non-Bond spy film of the ’60s?

Did Timothy Dalton secretly play James Bond one last time? This Lark cigarettes ad features Dalton essentially playing 007. Since it was filmed in 1989 after Licence to Kill, could this technically be the last canonical appearance of Dalton’s Bond?

GOLDENEYE has one of my all-time favourite subtle #JamesBond moments. Bond quickly dispatches two henchmen… then calmly takes a beat to towel himself off like it’s all part of the plan. It’s peak Brosnan 😎🛥️ What’s your favourite “only Bond would do that” moment?

THE IPCRESS FILE (1965) was built as the anti-Bond by Harry Saltzman. No glam. No gadgets. Just Michael Caine’s spy Harry Palmer, navigating Cold War paranoia and grey London bureaucracy. Smarter than 007… or just colder? Does it outclass Bond? 👀🎬
