That is likely my #2 behind Skyfall.

Er, I might be willing to allow for age of reviewers who posted on line as partial reasoning for that score - JD Jan 30, 13:49 14
- There's a lot to not like about Live and Let Die - Sherrif JW Pepper, the airport chase, the voodoo subplot, etc -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 13:53 13
  - Hate to say it but RM is my least favourite Bond. Great as the Saint but just never was Bond for me. -- nm - zork Jan 30, 17:23
  - Uh, and ... I guess you should know? 😀 -- nm - JD Jan 30, 13:54 5
    - Oh, and probably the worst opening sequence of the series. -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 13:57 4
      - Heh. I love that you're taking a Bond film starring your nick namesake to task 8-) -- nm - JD Jan 30, 14:01 3
        
        Oh, I like the movie - the villains are all fun. But it's very silly. (New Orleans jazz funeral processions have to be the worst place to kill someone -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 14:03 2
        
        I can think of a sillier place and time. -- nm - SPECTRE Jan 30, 14:05 1

  - I like the sheriff for comic relief. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 30, 13:54 5

      - (I don't think "comic relief sheriff" ages well as a concept, is my point, even though my example is from Smokey ... But I could be wrong about LALD.) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 14:02 1
        
        Add in a couple of pauses to spit and it's pretty much the same sherriff -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 14:33
    - You're the first person I've ever heard say that. -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 13:56 1
      - Then I'll be the second. He fits with the other stereotypes in the movie. -- nm - zork Jan 30, 17:20
