Top 10 Guilty Pleasure Film Franchises
5. James Bond: The Roger Moore Years Speaking of Bond, James Bond... Technically this is cherry picking part of a series, but each Bond has brought with them a new interpretation of character which allows their time as Bond to stand on its own, much in the same way different actors have reinvented Dr. Who over the decades. Everyone has their favorite (Connery) and the one they would rather forget (Lazenby). Roger Moore is neither. He occupies a special place in Bond lore as the most polarizing Bond. Moores Bond years receive guilty pleasure status because no self-respecting fan of 007 would say they liked the campy tongue-in-cheek style of Moores films best, but, in truth, there are many people (myself included) who find their inherent silliness to be some of the most fun they ever have watching Bond films. During Roger Moores run as James Bond we got to see Nick Nack (the inspiration for Verne Troyers Mini-Me), Bond dressed as a clown, Jaws making the grill a fashion statement, Jaws falling in love, the gondola speedboat/car, the infallible Christopher Walken as a villain, Roger Moores mole, a film actually titled Octopussy (I've seen it ten times, and I still don't believe it's real. Even the porn industry would think twice before using that title.), Bond girls going for the fifty plus year old Roger Moore, and, of course, Bond in space! Im not defending the irreparable damage Moores films did to the Bond image, but try to look past that fact and just appreciate the awesome amount of absurdity present in Moores seven film run.
