quite the ear worm.
"For Your Eyes Only" was the "wormiest" for me.

Oh yeah the title songs. But I’m talking about that perennial theme with the horns and the bass guitar line.

The Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movies are great fun (your son will love) and come with a powerful ear worm that will help get rid of the Bond one.
I am ambivalent about Tom Cruise. It’s like he can’t act but I seem to forget that in several movies.

You know he does a lot of his own stunts for those?

We watched the first mission impossible and no doubt will watch others.
I’m just glad to be out of the talking-animal stage of movie viewing.

This is a real airplane, and that's really Tom Cruise on the outside.

@jon-nyc Did you watch Never Say Never Again with Connery?
-
You guys should watch “Our Man Flint” of the Sean Connery era. Great Bond parody and lots of fun. Your boy will like it.

I refuse to believe that is possible.
Anyway, Flint is required at some point if you are watching Bond.

Is that the one he did in 83 with the other production company ? If so, not yet. But we will.
If it’s one of the ones he did with Eon then we saw it.

There are two Flint movies, Our Man Flint and In Like Flint.

And one where the books(especially the early ones) are much better than the films, are the Matt Helm series. The movies are kinda Bond parodies, the books are more Ian Fleming meets Mickey Spillane.

Don't give up on talking animals just yet. Guardians of the Galaxy volumes 1 and 2 are a couple of my favorite movies, I suspect you and the kid would enjoy them.

No we skipped him. He was toward the end of the Connery era. As was David Niven, who we also skipped.

Lazenby's one outing as Bond wasn't all that bad. OHMSS had Dianna Rigg as Bond's girl/wife and Telly Savalas as the arch villain, Blofeld. Lazenby for all his faults is not terrible in the role. Let's face it Connery was a hard act to follow in the lead role no matter who replaced him as Bond.
The story line is also fairly close to the book. It is a bit festive - the story take place around Christmastime - so you might want to cue it up over the holidays.

We might just do that.
