There are few things agreed on in NOMW towers. Surprising, I suppose, given only one person has to live in them. But anyway, one is that Roger Moore IS James Bond, and that all others just borrow his tux. Another is that Christopher Walken's 'leading French industrialist', Max Zorin, is the greatest Bond villain of all time. Now, it just so happens that those statements both refer to 1985's installment, A View To A Kill, thereby making it by process of deduction the greatest James Bond film of all time. Now, there is lots to be said about this film, but as I fear any such writings would take on the grim appearance of the sad fanboy's run-through of all the funniest lines ('I'm trying not to think about it', 'there's a fly in his soup', 'I'm an early riser myself', and just about anything Walken says for example) I'll refrain. For now. Instead, another inspired alternative ending, featuring the late and possibly great Geoffrey Keen as Sir Frederick Gray, delivering one of his classic chortles. Sorry for the lack of embedding, I couldn't do it for this for some reason.

PS: It must be said that this ending is far preferable to the inexplicably awful one tacked on to the final cut by John Glen.
PPS: And for more high-brow fun, check out this bit of spacey hilarity!
