Book order of films?

Thomo

Has anyone watched the movies in the order of the books and do they make any sense if you do it that way??

Barbel

Without trying to be funny: yes and no.

(Yes, I've tried that and no, it doesn't make sense. Mind you, watching them in production order throws up continuity problems too!)

Thomo

May give it a go then and see how it is. Think it will cover all six actors too!

Are you going to watch it in order by name or content? Because you may need to watch Live and Let Die, For Your Eyes Only, and Licence To Kill simultaneously.

Thomo

Ah good point indeed - initial thoughts were the titles as I've read all the books too

Also since some of the films are only similar in title too, that seems like you won't quite get what you're looking for.

Thomo

Going to have think of the order of some, good point

Gump

Yes.And it make me understand better.

Mr Magnusson

Well it sure would bring in some intresting angles on how to see the character. Live and Let Die after CR? Well it is not that far-fetched.

Bellay

Yes.I have done that.It is useful for you to understand the book's content.

So worth doing then??

Sorry for the self-Plugging but,........

In the Literary forum we are reading the Bond novels in Order, So far we've had
CR & LALD, with Moonraker being read in September. So it's not too late for anyone wanting
to read the Books in order or to read them again.

That's fine....I wish more fans WOULD read the books...then they would know that Book-Bond is very different to Film-Bond...except in a few places -{

Thomo

yes i agree - I've now read them all and all the continuation novels - looking forward to Solo
