No we don't need another NSNA. It does have it moments, over all I'll pass.
All though the remixed intro by Blofield's cat was pretty cool.
Chief of Staff, 007's gone round the bend. Says someone's been trying to feed him a poisoned banana. Fellow's lost his nerve. Been in the hospital too long. Better call him home.
Eh the thought that anyone would want to remake Bond films with the old OTT elements is just WTF to me. But some people like it. As evidenced by the bazillion threads about bringing Blofeld/Moneypenny/Q(delete as applicable) back elsewhere
Can't say I'm a fan of NSNA. I thought it was very boring. It was actually my very first Bond film before TND, and like that film, it didn't get me interested in Bond in any way.

I haven't seen QOS. But I can definitely say that NSNA is much more of a true Bond film than CR, IMO.
It certainly doesn't rank up there with most of the other Bond films, but it's still worth-while IMO. I've watched it at least ten times over the years, and will still watch it again in the future.
I watched CR once, and will probably never watch it ever again.
CR's watchability..I've said this before,but I've watched it so infrequently since it came out on video that I can count it on my fingers.It says something that a "unofficial" Bond film like NSNA is more worth watching than the most recent Bond films
Favorite Movies: Bullitt, The Long Good Friday, The Towering Inferno, Jaws, Rocky, Superman the Movie, McVicar, Goodfellas, Get Carter, Three Days of the Condor, Butch & Sundance, The Sting, All the Presidents Men

CR's watchability....do me a favour. Is this the film you saw 11 times at the cinema, and you say it has no re-watchability factor???
To be honest, if I saw CR 11 times at the cinema, I doubt I would fancy watching it that many times again on DVD either.....

Maybe 2006 is where the Bond franchise ends for you then. Sorry to see you go.....
It doesn't translate well to a smaller screen...I don't have a huge TV to enjoy watching it on(which would be the ideal way to watch it but I like the TV I have *shrug*) That, and the runing time(though you'd think it would be easier to watch on DVD since you can actually take bathroom breaks, gets something to eat, et. when you like )
Favorite Bond Movie: Moonraker Goldfinger The Spy Who Loved Me
Favorite Movies: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Crazy For Christmas, The Empire Strikes Back, League of Gentlemen (1960's British film), Big Trouble in Little China, Police Academy 2, Carry On At Your Convenience, Commando, Halloween III: Season of the Witch,

I doubt that anyone here will care but NSNA is coming out on blu-ray (HD) around when Qaurk hits the stores.
I rather like Never Say Never Again and regard it as a part of the Bond series. It's a bonus Bond movie and does not offend me. The - as James said - "two paradigm shift grubby nutcase Bond entries" are much more offensive as they have stopped real Bond movies from being made.
