Diamonds are Forever (1971)

Diamonds are Forever (1971)

[6] Sean Connery returns one more time (not counting his appearance in 1983's unofficial entry, Never Say Never Again) in what is easily the silliest of his Bond films. Charles Gray picks up the part of archvillain Blofeld, who this…
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)

The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)

[6] The stakes are lower than usual and the action in short supply, but Roger Moore's second outing as James Bond almost makes up for it in character. The colorful supporting cast includes Christopher Lee as a three-nippled baddie and…
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

[6] This may be Roger Moore's quintessential outing as James Bond, but The Spy Who Loved Me suffers from a wretched co-starring performance from Barbara Bach (Mrs. Ringo Starr) and a boisterous, sloppily choreographed climax on the sea. This is…
Moonraker (1979)

Moonraker (1979)

[5] James Bond (Roger Moore) goes into outer space to stop a bad guy's plot to... you know, destroy the world. While Moonraker packs more action than most other Bond films, it's also sillier than most. Richard Kiel's ridiculous Jaws…
Drive, He Said (1971)

Drive, He Said (1971)

[6] Jack Nicholson directs this slice-of-life story adapted from the Jeremy Larner novel about a obstinate college basketball player (William Tepper) whose pretentiousness almost keeps him from being drafted into professional sports. But the film also centers on two other…
Kingdom of the Spiders (1977)

Kingdom of the Spiders (1977)

[6] Lethal tarantulas take over an Arizona town in this remarkably well-paced, well-put-together little B-movie. And William Shatner is the star! How frickin' cool is that? He actually delivers a decent performance. And Shatner fans will be happy to know…
Robin Hood (1973)

Robin Hood (1973)

[6] This Disney flick may be a minor effort in comparison to the company's more perrenial classics, but there's a dated, folksy charm about this all-animal take on the classic Robin Hood legend. The simple story is populated with fairly…
A Bridge Too Far (1977)

A Bridge Too Far (1977)

[6] Richard Attenborough (Gandhi, Chaplin) reenacts the elaborate but doomed Operation Market Garden, a World War II strategy the Allied Forces valiantly attempted to execute in order to defeat German Forces in the Netherlands. A Bridge Too Far is a…
Murder by Death (1976)

Murder by Death (1976)

[5] With a script by Neil Simon and an incredible all-star cast, I expected more from this spoof of murder mysteries. Most of the ensemble are confined to playing the same note throughout the film, including Peter Sellers as a simile-spewing…
Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)

Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)

[3] Linda Blair's still got demons, and Richard Burton's trying to figure out what happened to the nice priests who got pea soup all over them in the first movie. Exorcist II: The Heretic is convoluted and esoteric, the action…
