Thunderball

Watching them all TB felt the best done.

[The Saint 007]

I would say Thunderball is the best of the sixties gunbarrels. But my most favourite gunbarrel is For Your Eyes Only, I love how they do the Bond theme in that one:

[Kristatos]

Gonna say YOLT, simply because it was the first Bond film I saw, and the arrangement of the Bond theme is the one I always hear in my head.

[Dr. No]

All of these perfectly encapsulate the excitement Bond used to hold. Its sad because the last Bond movie I saw in the theaters had screwed up opener meaning they forgot what made it magic.

I agree Thunderball has a superb gunbarrel.

I think FRWL also has a great gunbarrel, the best one featuring Bob Simmons, really cool version of the Bond theme and I like how the dot gets smaller before disappearing.

For me, Thunderball...first gunbarrel in widescreen, first with Connery (Simmons did the first 3), it's Connery in color while YOLT is Connery in black and white.

YOLT was the first Bond film I saw, that and I love the guitar riff that comes after the gun shot.

Goldfinger (one of the first bond films I saw as a kid in the 80s, then Roger Moores bond and grew up watching Brosnans bond as a young teenanger and just before in the mid 90s).

Another cool thing about the gunbarrels in the 60s is that Simmons/Connery actually fired a blank round on the set, you can see the smoke coming out from the barrel of Bonds pistol.

Beginning with OHMSS it seems the actor just turned around and pretended to shoot his gun.

For me, Thunderball...first gunbarrel in widescreen, first with Connery (Simmons did the first 3), it's Connery in color while YOLT is Connery in black and white.

My vote goes to Thunderball as well for all of the above reasons. In addition I'll add that it's the first to use the white dot as an actual transition device by placing the 'JB' initials on the coffin within the onscreen circle to start the pre-credits sequence. I'm also a bit biased due to the fact that Thunderball is the very first James Bond film I saw. It was re-released in August of 1970 and it was double-billed with You Only Live Twice: "The Biggest Bonds of all!"
