And don't forget A View to a Kill. Often seen as a weak Bond film, but it's got a cracking song, Grace Jones and Christopher Walken :contract:

Moore Bonds were generally superior in every regard except the lead.

Also, for a certain generation, say, grumbler and everyone else who lived through the French Wars of Religion, Roger Moore was The Saint.

Yeah.  I think that was the second Bond film I saw in the theater.  It runs a close second.  And MTV ran that Duran Duran video every 30 minutes back in the day.

Grace Jones is so wasted in that film. One of the most memorable Bond henchmen, imho, but the film's terrible.

Dolph Lundgren also had his (small) part in it.
Patrick Macnee and Tanya Roberts (Sheena) were not mentioned, so here they are.

The Double (2014)

A brilliant work of psychological horror that inhabits the mental illness of isolation while it deconstructs the masculine identity.  If that sounds too pretentious, as it damned well should, The Double is an absolutely stunning example of the ability of cinematography and production design to create a nightmare world that is as compelling as it is repellant.  Since that's still a mite too pretentious, how about this: The Double is an arthouse Fight Club for the 21st century, that looks like Dark City, and involves Jesse Eisenberg being an asshole to himself (and everyone else) for a solid hour and a half, and it's really great.
