Awesome thanks guys.

Had a feeling some of those names would come up, will put one or two on my rental list.

Any favourites out of those ones?

[gasteropod]

My personal favourites have always been The Spy Who Loved Me and probably Live and Let Die, but I'm not sure those are realistically worth the star ratings you're after.
