Maybe it had to be bigger, but it didn't have to be dumber! )

And by the way, I'd still choose MR over AVTAK any day, but we're only talking here about 70s Bond films.

. So while Moonraker falls short of a higher standard, bearing little-to-no resemblance to the Ian Fleming novel, I still have great respect for the film and I think that more people should.

We will now condemn you to...
The Comfy Chair! Ha! Take THAT!

Which, the one from Monty Python? ?:)

DAF would have to be my least favourite Bond film in the 1970s and while of course not without merit it is very lame and silly in places. MR I have always loved and always will, even though I am a Fleming purist at heart. So get your head around that one! 8-) )

More Fleming purists should follow your example. -{

I think like many here, I still put DAF on from time to time, and
Enjoy it every time. Sure it's not Fleming , but I still laugh at the
Script,very witty. -{

I can't stand Diamonds Are Forever, but I'll say this much; it is infinitely re-watchable. Same goes for the other two Hamilton/Mankiewicz movies.

The script is very witty and clever. I like how Wint and Kidd finish off each other's sentences after a kill.

I would have said DAF was my least favorite, but I watched it last night and pretty much loved it.

So I guess I don't have a least fav from the 70's. However, TSWLM and MR both rule supreme over the quirky Guy Hamilton trilogy.

I agree with most of this assessment; Lewis Gilbert is superior to Guy Hamilton, but given the choice between Moonraker and Live And Let Die I'm going with Live And Let Die.
