The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) - *****
Drop dead gorgeous Bond girl (Barbara Bach). Check. Iconic henchman (Richard Kiel). Check. Fantastic villain (Curt Jurgens) complete with terrific lair and subsequent lair-battle a la You Only Live Twice. Check. Infectious theme song. Check. Gadgets a-plenty, sexy car, numerous inspired fight sequences and exotic locales. Check, check, check and check. Not only this but Moore (who I have never had a problem with) is on top form. He may have been partly responsible for Moonraker and A View To A Kill, but this makes it more than worth it.
