Hi this is a thread about Timothy Daltons first bond movie and easily my favorite of his the living daylights relased in 1987 Timothy Dalton is the only actor to play bond 2 times and that's probably for the best he always looked pissed off in his movies and he lacked a lot of humor that Sean Connery and Roger Moore had to me he was just okay as bond and this movie is my favorite of his because it has a great musical score and great action and a great bond girl my favorite scene of the movie is the sleading part when Dalton is on the violin case so you can ask any question about that film here

This one has a fresh new Bond, an interesting plot, great characters, fantastic score - perhaps even the best out of the whole series, and decent set pieces. It's also the last Bond film to have that classic Bond 'feel', which was partially lost in LTK and completely gone by the time Brosnan steps in.
If not in my top 5, it's at least in my top 10.
There are many existing threads this could have fitted into. The easy way to find that out is to use the "Search" function- try typing in the word "Daylights" and looking at the results.
We have had this conversation more than once before and I did think you'd been taking note but I may have set my hopes up way too high.
Is this funny comment the reason why you didn't close this thread?
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!

If he hasn't been around maybe he disagreed with something that ate him.
Well, if so it's backfired since much fun has been had by various people!
Anyway, love this film. That said, I feel like its main detriments come from the few Moore touches that the script missed to remove, which aren't plentiful per se, but are still noticeable, like some of the comic bits early on, and the frankly uneeded Gogol cameo - and I know Gogol was supposed to have filled the Pushkin part but the actor wasn't well enough to film the part, but honestly it would've made more sense if it had been Moore's Bond who dealt with him and not Dalton, and as such I find Gogol's presence like a shadow of the Moore era hanging over Dalton, and its distracting. Had it not had those, it would've felt even more like a soft reboot and I'd have prefered that, vastly.
Interesting to note that Dalton and Gotell appeared together in an episode of Tales From The Crypt. I wont spoil what happens between them if you havent seen it.

if you wait for both of daltons films itll be a long one and theyll be on late at night on itv4. a little like the american midnight melodramas. itv are funny with the bond films because they repeat brosnans films more than any, sometimes billing them as classic bond. goldeneye yes other 3 no.

I recommend looking for them n charity shops. I love the places, and you will quickly build up your collection there.
I have seen Licence to Kill on TV, but can not recall seeing the Living daylights.
Thank you this is a good tip. I also have found some James Bond films in the poundland shops. They are reconditioned nad in new packages. I bought Tommorrow Never Dies last week. I have not watched it yet though. I suggest you might look in there also.
