Although I find Casino Royale to be one of the classiest Bond films, I do find the product placement almost distracting. There was no way back in 2006 that a hotel used Blu-Ray discs for recording security footage!

As for best pre-title sequence, a toss up between The Spy Who Loved Me, Tomorrow Never Dies, Octopussy and Moonraker (silly fllm but very entertaining and the pre-title mid-air fight was done for real and looks great).

Have been some various rumours for some time yeah. Supposed to have been an employee who had "fallout 4 cinematic trailer" written on their Linked In CV which was later deleted. The ones about it being "leaked" info of being set in Boston a while back I think was confirmed false. There's some hope it will make a surprise appearance at E3 since Bethesda are due to attend but apparently no mention of F4 yet. I'd be surprised if they aren't making a Fallout 4 as there's a pretty high demand for it and has been for some time now. Won't be seeing it until 2016 maybe even 2017 though. Just depends on how much they've already done. Either they've been working on it for a couple of years now or have only just begun imo.

I would give it a go, played all of them so far.

Great calls Darryl...can't argue with any of those choices.
"Casino Royale" as you say is a wonderfully classy film and within the first few minutes I had already changed my mind about Mr Craig (I should have known better, such as never to treat a book by it's jacket alone...not that I read too much thesedays)

"Octopussy" for me along with "AVTAK" are perhaps the two weakest entries in the Bond films (but still have a great deal of fun about them and are far better than most similar type films) the shout for this being one of the best pre-title sequences is right.
That Acrostar sequence alone in most films would have blown the budget...and it has a super fun line at the end "Fill her up Please"

"Moonraker" another great call...Bond & Jaws duelling it out for the remaining parachute, Epic!
I think Abi's call for "The Living Daylights" earlier is spot on too...Classy Dalton on a 00 training mission that turns bad and the brilliant Land Rover sequence with Bond again escaping by way of Parachute and onto a yacht upon which is a beautiful lady (typical 007 luck) upon which he proclaims the famous "Bond...James Bond" terrific.

I've left my favourite of your three for last "The Spy Who Loved Me"
This is just wonderful, the skiing sequence is brilliant and features an action by Bond that will come back to haunt him somewhat later on in the film and of course there's the fantastic British Flag parachute escape...BTW Did you see that the new Doctor Who? (the Brilliant Jon Pertwee'ish Peter Capaldi) has just filmed what looks a spoof sequence similar to this for the new series...Glad Jenna's still onboard too.

Ah, I could talk 007 all night
"Here you'll find a button...whatever you do don't press it", "Oh, why not?" because it will release this section of the room that will launch the ejector seat..."Ejector seat your joking!" GOLDFIGER (I was actually going to edit this but left it in as it reads kinda funny Go Figure)
I do miss Desmond Llwelyn (spelt wrong I'm sure)

I do volunteer work for a small charity, and today I was at a local craft fair selling jewellery i had made from bits broken up during my last burglary (those of you on kickstarter will remember). I made £ 195 in 4 hours. Very pleased with myself

Very well done indeed
