Trilogy of a classic story with too much added.

Some of the songs are okay, but where’s Alec Bings? Canby? The Giant/Midget/Fat Man/Thin Man? And I don’t think the half a kid on the staircase is there, either.

  6. The Phantom Tollbooth
  7. The Spy Who Loved Me

While other James Bond movies at least pay lip service to the original books, this film bears absolutely no resemblance to the Ian Fleming novel.

A childhood fave, but again the filmmakers decided to add and focus on material that’s mentioned just in passing in the book
