Hey ManFromT.I.K.I.! Thanks. Glad you enjoyed my blog on "Live and Let Die." Even though Moore's not my favorite Bond, I still respect what he brought to the franchise. From 1973 to 1985, he did 7 films as 007. He must have been doing something right. For many people, he was the Bond they grew up with. "For Your Eyes Only" was my first Bond film. It hold special meaning to me for being my first, plus it was the last movie I ever saw at a drive-in theater. I turned 11 that year. Until I started seeing the older Bond movies, Moore was 007 in my mind. When he took over as Bond, the franchise was going through some tough times. He was the third actor to play 007 in a Bond movie in a row. This was a new decade. He had the experience and so forth to come it and give his take on the role. He helped the series to survive and thrive. I will always be grateful for him. He made a lot of really good Bond movies. There were some great theme songs in his movies as well.
