The
Spy Who Loved Me (Special Edition)
(1977)
DVD
The best of the James Bond adventures
starring Roger Moore as tuxedoed Agent 007, this globe trotting thriller
introduced the steel-toothed Jaws (played by seven foot two inch tall actor
Richard Kiel) as one of the most memorable and indestructible Bond villains.
Jaws is so tenacious, in fact, that Moore looks genuinely frightened, and
that adds to the abundant fun. This time Bond teams up with yet another
lovely Russian agent (Barbara Bach) to track a pair of nuclear submarines
that the nefarious Stromberg (Curt Jürgens) plans to use in his plot
to start World War III.

Live
and Let Die
(1973)
DVD
Roger Moore was introduced as James
Bond in this 1973 action movie featuring secret agent 007. More self-consciously
suave and formal than predecessor Sean Connery, he immediately reestablished
Bond as an uncomplicated and wooden fellow for the feel-good '70s. This
film also marks a deviation from the more character-driven stories of the
Connery years, a deliberate shift to plastic action (multiple chases, bravura
stunts) that made the franchise more of a comic book or machine.

Moonraker
(1979) DVD
This time Bond is up against a
criminal industrialist named Drax (Michel Lonsdale) who wants to control
the world from his orbiting space station. In keeping with his well groomed
style, Bond thwarts this maniacal Neo-Hitler's scheme with the help of
a beautiful, sleek figured scientist (played by Lois Chiles with all the
vitality of a department-store mannequin). There's a grand-scale climax
involving space shuttles and ray guns, but despite the film's popular success,
this is one Bond adventure that never quite gets off the launching pad.

The
Man With The Golden Gun (Special Edition) (1974) DVD
Roger Moore is the ever-debonair
007 in this 9th film of the James Bond series. The super agent is assigned
the task of recovering a valuable piece of technical equipment capable
of harnessing the sun's energy. Standing in his way are a number of arch
villains.

Octopussy
(1983) DVD
Roger Moore was nearing the end
of his reign as James Bond when he made Octopussy. The movie itself infuses
some new blood into the old franchise, with a frisky pace and a pair of
sturdy villains. Maud Adams who'd also been in the Bond outing The Man
with the Golden Gun plays the improbably named Octopussy, while old smoothie
Louis Jourdan is her crafty partner in crime. There's an island populated
only by women, plus a fantastic sequence with a hand-to-hand fight that
happens on a plane--and on top of a plane. The film even has an extra emotional
punch, since this time out 007 is not only following the orders of Her
Majesty's Secret Service, but he is also exacting a personal revenge: a
fellow double-0 agent has been killed. Two Bond films were actually released
in 1983 within a few months of each other, as Octopussy was followed by
Sean Connery's comeback in Never Say Never Again.
