James Bond Info Page

Have you ever noticed that people who like James Bond movies but aren't fan enough to keep the titles straight generally refer to a particular Bond film as "the one with..."? For example, Goldfinger might be called "the one with the woman who's painted gold." Following is a list of how to describe the Bond films to the title-impaired:

1. Dr. No (5/8/1963) The one with Ursula Andress coming out of the sea.(This description works best for men)

2. From Russia With Love (5/27/1964) (Q is Boothroyd) The one with that woman who tries to kick him with the knife that pops out of her shoe. NOTE: the IMDB has the wrong release date for this movie!

3. Goldfinger (12/25/1964) (Q) The one with the guy who throws the hat. Or: The one with the car that has the ejector seat.

4. Thunderball (12/29/1965) (Q) The underwater one.

5. You Only Live Twice (6/13/1967) (Q) The one with the volcano in Japan.

6. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (12/18/1969) (Q) The one with that George guy. Or: The one in the Swiss Alps. Or: The one where Bond gets married. (The response you will most often hear is "I think that's the only one I've never seen")

7. Diamonds Are Forever (12/17/1971) (Q) The one in Las Vegas.

8. Live and Let Die (6/27/1973) The one with the Tarot cards. Or: The one with Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.

9. The Man with the Golden Gun (12/19/1974) (Q) The one with Tattoo in it.

10. The Spy Who Loved Me (8/3/1977) (Q) The one with that white sports car that turns into a submarine.

11. Moonraker (6/29/1979) (Q) The one with the Space Shuttle.

12. For Your Eyes Only (6/26/1981) (Q) The one about the Greek smugglers.

13. Octopussy (6/10/1983) (Q) The one with that little jet at the beginning.

14. A View to a Kill (5/24/1985) (Q) The one where Grace Jones parachutes off the Eiffel Tower.

15. The Living Daylights (7/31/1987) (Q) The one where the girl plays the cello. (I have also heard it described as "The one where he uses a cello case as a sled.")

16. Licence to Kill (7/14/1989) (Q) The one where all those tanker trucks blow up at the end.

17. GoldenEye (1995) (Q) The one with the tank chase.

18. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) (Q) The one with the remote-control car.
