    Open on a beach. Nancy Sinatra’s “You Only Live Twice” plays (the track from the movie, this is important. It has the best intro and for some reason is only sporadically available on Spotify). We use the classic James Bond opening iris to find a now established inn on a beautiful stretch of beach.

    I love Live and Let Die. You Only Live Twice and Skyfall are both lovely. But one of the most underrated themes is The Man With The Golden Gun. Even the Broccolis didn't like it and I think it's a banger.

    You Only Live Twice. I read a post by Nancy Sinatra about rerecording the title song with Lee Hazelwood so I impulsively watched it for the gazillionth time. The climactic sequence in the volcano is everything I want from a 007 film. And holy shit, John Barry's score. My favorite Bond movie.

    You can argue the merits of each individual film, but the climactic sequence of You Only Live Twice, in the Ken Adam designed volcano villains lair, is the peak of the franchise for me. It’s that feeling I look for in every Bond film, not to mention every Star Wars and Marvel movie, I watch.

    Carrie Fisher was an uncredited script doctor on many major films, including The Wedding Singer, Hook, Sister Act, Last Action Hero, and at least half of the main Star Wars series (including The Last Jedi) - because she was so good at dialogue. (BTW, Roald Dahl’s Bond movie was You Only Live Twice)

    So we just watched You Only Live Twice and we're very confused! The last 3rd of the movie Bond is no longer in the movie and some random 6'2'' Japanese guy with a 5o clock shadow and the accent of a Soviet Submarine Captain takes over for no reason! and the Japanese guys not even in the credits!
