How I would have devided the 1980's.

IMO, I think it was a mistake to have John Glen to have directed all five 1980's Bond films. There were alot of hot names in action during the 80's and it's a shame EON didn't take advantage of any of them just to save a buck. Here's who I would have picked for each film:

For Your Eyes Only- Richard Donner

Octopussy- John Landis

A View To a Kill- Brian De Palma

The Living Daylights- Robert Zemeckis

Licence To Kill- Andrey Konchalovskiy

There seems to be a lot of Bond films you either don't like, or think could be greatly improved. Are you sure you're a fan?

Just because I have complaints dosen't mean I am not a fan. I think the 60's films were the high point of the series. Anyway I don't want to go off topic anymore but those are my feelings.

Ah, but that's often the way it is. Like football fans bitching because their team has missed out on the Champions League yet again, or England hasn't won the Cup.

Intrigued by the choices. Surely Blake Edwards for Octopussy though! With spare footage of Peter Sellers doing a Clouseau turn added in.

EDIT: Oh, maybe not, just seen on Last Film Seen... that you're not a fan...

I think the only Bond film John Glen should not have directed was probably Licence To Kill. I felt it could have been better, cast wise, and a bunch of other things. Its the only Bond movie he directed that I wouldn't care had he not directed.

Dalton is king of the hil

I don't understand the last comment as LTK is John Glens best movie especially due to plot and casting. It probably is the best casting in the series.
John Glen did great. He made Bond return to the gritty realism. Especially with Dalton. It hink it is as good as it gets, and it is bloody good
