'The Spy Who Loved Me'.  Did you know that Roger Moore was Eon's first choice for Bond back before 'Dr. No'?  But he was unavailable until 'Live and Let Die'.

That sounds vaguely familiar.  I also recall hearing Ian Fleming wanted Christopher Lee (who Fleming is related to) to play Bond but the studio went with Connery instead or maybe it was Moore instead.

In just a few more months I *should* be into my Bond rewatch.  :-)

Several years ago I bought everything from Dr. No through The Spy Who Loved Me on sale at Big Lots for $3 each. I also own the first two Craig Bonds.

Too bad about Big Lots folding up the tent, BTW. Another casualty of online commerce I guess.

I'm working my way thru the 50th Anniversary Bond collection which includes all the EON movies except the last two, which I have separately on Blu-Ray.

 Turns out I also have the third Craig, Skyfall, on Blu-ray after I checked my database. All the others are on DVD.
 I don't particularly care to own any more of the Moores but I should probably get a couple of the best Brosnan ones, I always liked him. Any suggestions? Goldeneye? I remember seeing the one with North Korea as the villain in the theater and thought it was pretty good.
 

I liked all the Pierce Brosnan Bond movies.  I'm going from memory, and my memory may be a little rusty, but I think maybe "The World Is Not Enough" is his best.  And perhaps his last one, "Die Another Day" is probably the weakest.  "Die Another Day" is the one with the North Korean villain.  Perhaps best to start with "Golden Eye" and go from there in release order?  There are only 4, if you like one, you'll probably like them all.
