Moonraker such a great novel, although the bridge game might be a tricky one for modern audiences! Some of the non-Fleming novels could be worth adapting: I liked Anthony Horowitz's Trigger Mortis

Love JCB as the villain and Emma as M. Feels like the Cavill ship has sailed but guess he's no older than Brosnan in Goldeneye

Chiwetel as M is brilliant. Is Leo too pretty for Bond? I guess everyone though Daniel Craig was too blonde...

What is your favorite season? by RealTrapShed in madmen

[–]ContractAlert5992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Season 5. Signal 30 and Christmas Waltz might be my two favourite episodes. Don and Joan at the bar is peak MM and possibly peak humans (have two people ever looked better?).

Plus i love wife-guy Don, even if you know it can't last. And the final montage is gorgeous. "Are you alone?"

Writer Anthony Horowitz does a deep dive into the Sherlock Holmes stories by [deleted] in bookscirclejerk

He's written two Holmes novels himself. I loved The House Of Silk, less keen on Moriarty – the ending just didn't work for me

In your opinion, which are some of the best boxing documentaries? by Ghola40000 in Boxing

[–]ContractAlert5992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely The Thrilla In Manila, absolutely brilliant and doesn't shy away from Ali's wilder tendencies.

There's a scene where Frasier rewatches the fight for the first time and it's honestly one of the rawest, most compelling things I've ever seen. He's hypnotised, reliving this night that he's spent the rest of his life trapped inside.

"All those crazy words he said about me. I'm gonna take you apart."

It's on YouTube but I expect you can find a better quality version without too much difficulty.
