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.

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.
