On to Roger Moore

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 guys should watch “Our Man Flint” of the Sean Connery era. Great Bond parody and lots of fun. Your boy will like it.

@jon-nyc Did you watch Never Say Never Again with Connery?

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.

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.

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.
