Totally agree with you on that one. Not my favourite, but definitely in my top 5. I think that Karl Stromberg is a great villain, with one of the most iconic henchman (and my personal favourite) in cinematic history – the one and only Jaws, played by the extremely likeable Richard Kiel. I also think that TSWLM is the best of the Roger Moore era. A highly enjoyable film with all the elements of a great Bond film.
I love this film. its my personal favourite. The action scenes, the women , the cars everything appeals to me throughout this movie. it is just awsome
