Fabulous Bond movie despite being roundly hammered by the professional critics. Perhaps they'd all become jaded with the formula because Moonraker is perhaps the quintessential Roger Moore Bond movie. It has so much packed into it, so many memorable scenes, and as far as I know, is the only Bond movie to bring in a baddie from a previous film - Jaws - and who didn't appreciate that? Moreover, what a reintroduction - surprising Bond from behind to shove him out of an aeroplane without a parachute! Maybe, at 11 years of age, I was at the perfect age to see this scene - old enough to appreciate the lethal situation but too young to spoil it for myself by thinking that 'Bond never dies so he'll survive'; I was truly gobsmacked and certainly had never seen anything like the skydiving stunts that followed. I don't know why this scene wasn't widely discussed as some kind of sensation because as far as I know this was the first time anyone had seen a scene like it. Definitely the greatest Bond opening ever to my mind; and as if that wasn't enough, I got to experience another heart-stopper when Bond was in the centrifuge. Too young to think of the wrist gun myself, I really thought Bond was a goner! Moreover, what a scene in terms of realism. We really do get to see Roger Moore's face rippling with the centrifugal force. This scene is another reason why Moonraker should be rated more highly: Bond is famous for coming out of his scrapes calm and unshaken yet in this scene he can barely stand (yet pushes away the help Holly Goodhead attempts to give him) and the cabin he emerges from is steaming! Then there's the simply sensational scene in Rio, at night, when Manuela sees Jaws, disguised as a clown, approaching her down the alley. It sends shivers down my spine every time I see it. Finally, there's the theme song, to my ear, the best singing performance Shirley Bassey ever gave in a piece of wonderfully romantic music. Thank you for posting!
KeldenDantrell - Well put Sir! I agree with every point - a great film that is unfairly underated. I saw it aged 16 - I loved every moment of it in 1979, and I still do, today. Magnificent!
I remember seeing the scene with Jaws disguised as a clown and feeling absolute terror. It really holds up as horror movie level scary, not often you find that in a Bond film
Growing up watching James Bond with my dad, I always preferred this movie out of all the JB films. Its a movie that has a plot that is easy to understand, the hero and the heroine are both strong, independent, and have a great chemistry that's unique from other relationships with Bond Girls, and then there's the wonderful, magical music. Its classy, charming, with its witty and humorous moments, and great scenery as you travel the world. It has all the elements that James Bond should have. Beautiful escapism. For me, no other 007 film can compare to it.
+rosejacklyn From gondolas to caballeros, beautiful women to ninjas, space shuttles to laser beam guns, from Venice to Brazil, from ski lifts to boat chases, ...zero-gravity, ... it's the Bond movie that has *everything*. And that includes a John Barry score. :) I'll admit that the storyline was simple enough for kids to appreciate this one too.
I’ve grown up with Bond soundtracks for 50 years and this is the one I always come back to. Moonraker isn’t anywhere close to my top 10 Bond movies, but this soundtrack is calming, fearsome, outworldly, pretty, and 70s disco all in one
2:43 - Favorite Part of the whole soundtrack. It fits the scene it's placed in...Bond enters the area where all the beautiful women await, he's in paradise, then BOOM! into the pond with the killer python! But with one flick of the wrist, snake takes a dart, and dies. Jaws pulls bond from the pond, and Drax asks "Why did you kill my pet python?" to which bond says "I discovered he had a crush on me."
Except it wasn't, and wouldn't have been, a python! It would have been an anaconda, and looked like an anaconda; and they *do* swim and have been known to kill humans. So this was a bit of dodgy dialogue, sadly. I love the film yet, while it played superbly to me first time I watched it, repeated viewings reveal a lot of weak bits. Still, it has perhaps the loveliest Bond woman of them all (and that's saying something!) in Lois Chiles. Her face in her last shot is just angelic.
Moonraker rules. I love Moonraker so much its the best bond film if you ask me and I love this sound track, John Berry is the best he also did "The Black Hole" that year. When ever I watch a movie with his music and it starts playing I have too turn it up loud and shake the house down especially with the bond films and especially with MOONRAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since the late John Barry left the series, it's been coasting on the momentum of Barry's contribution to making Bond cool. Connery did something as well in this regard but I credit Barry more.
Love this bond film for it's epic scope...world destruction and remake in some lunatic's own image...noone to save them but Bond. it's the way bond thrives best. Great soundtrack...one of the best
John Barry was an amazing composer and touched me at an early age when he did the soundtrack for King Kong in 1976...I was 10 years old It was an emotional roller coaster for me with the music both uplifting and sad...48 years later and many more Barry Masterpieces He is in my mind the best whoever did it...Thank you Mr. Barry for touching my soul with your music......
I was watching this years ago and didn't realize the music was John Barry. Then, the music at 19:41 began, and I said to myself, "Oh, wow, this has got to be John Barry." Awesome as always!!
To add to other similar comments, I FULLY believe this to be the crown jewel of Barry's James Bond movies. To the ear it plays out like a symphony penned in the Classical era...like a Prokofiev or a Mendelssohn. Pure genius and such a delight to the ears!! Thank you, Mr. Barry...
I agree. And morricone isn't half bad either. My personal favorite JB movie ost, that is not only competent (like all of them) but also full of soul and emotion.
Another great John Barry score is the theme from The Black Hole (composed around nearly the same time, too!) Both are very "spacey" particularly The Black Hole composition - I think it's brilliant! He was an absolutely brilliant composer!
You started with Side B. Realized that within a split second. My father and me bought these LPs after having seen all these Precious James Bond Movies from Dr. No up to A View to a Kill. And the 2 Timothy Dalton Bonds belong to this precious series also.
The only way I can define it is he gave such a distinct identity and atmosphere to those individual Bond films. Moonraker he had so much influence, the score reflected outer space so much
Your musical selection is great. It captures the true spirit of the soundtrack and the film. Wonderful and evocative music that brings me memories of better times. Keep up the good work!
antasatibal Granted that it is a matter of opinion not fact, but ''Moonraker'' is not even remotely close to being the best Bond film of all-time. That distinction goes to ''FRWL'' and then ''Goldfinger''.
I don't know if I prefer the book or the film. The book he gets beaten up a lot and it's completely different plot. The film is majorly glamorous, and of course this wonderful music really makes it.
What can I say about John Barry that hasn't already been said. Tell me who else could arrange the main theme of a Bond film to a Bossa nova rhythm and make it sound amazing?
I like Bond films where the clichés are toned-down. This score ticks that box for me. Twangy guitars and parpy horns are replaced by bowed double bass, celestial choirs and majestic brass. It fits in with the cigars replacing cigarettes, bourbon replacing vodka martini, Lotus replacing Aston Martin of the Roger Moore era. Love it!! Rules are made to be broken
But not to be deviated from completely. Those so-called “clichés” are integral to Bond’s musical identity and what makes the scores sound so exciting. The word “cliché” refers to something that has been overused to the point that it has lost all meaning, and that’s just not the case here. The guitars and horns continue to effortlessly convey the dangerous air of 007.
A beautiful young lady being mauled by attack dogs never sounded more beautiful, if you're not a complete pervert, who is into things like that. Absolutely haunting and beautiful soundtrack, with both sides of the emotional spectrum well-respresented.
One of the best bond movies.they lost their excitement.the tim. Dalton movies sucked.bronson bought it back now they r making boring bond movies again.
yes I haven't watched them since Roger Moore. Of course they exhausted the Flemming books. I would recommend one reads all of the Flemming books actually....
Man, I always loved both Moonraker and Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Moonraker along with Star Trek: The Motion Picture are both the most underappreciated sci-fi films of all time, they are both way much better sci-fi films than any Star Wars film made after 1983's Return of the Jedi, and Star Wars as a Franchise was never the same when Richard Marquand ended the Star Wars adventures of Luke, Leia, and Han Solo in 1983. Moonraker is a very underrated and awesome bond film, it is my all time favorite Roger Moore bond film, and Moonraker had great performances from Roger Moore, Michael Lonsdale, and Lois Chiles. Moonraker had a superb John Barry music score, the boat chase scene with Jaws in the Amazon River was brilliant, and Moonraker as well as Star Trek: The Motion Picture are both one of my absolute favorite films of 1979. I also really like Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Star Trek: The Motion Picture was a very impressive Star Trek film, it had great stuff like Leonard Nimoy's performance as Spock and the Jerry Goldsmith music score, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture had good plot of the Enterprise crew investigating V'Ger. Overall, I will always have a soft spot for Moonraker and Star Trek: The Motion Picture from 1979 and I can't believe that Moonraker and Star Trek: The Motion Picture are both 45 years old now in 2024.
Wow, I Love Moonraker, The Black Hole, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture so much. Moonraker along with The Black Hole and Star Trek: The Motion Picture are the most underappreciated sci-fi films of all time, they are all way more better sci-fi films than any Star Wars film made after 1980, and Moonraker as well as The Black Hole and Star Trek: The Motion Picture are all great cult classic sci-fi films from 1979. Moonraker is a very underrated and awesome Roger Moore bond film, this film just like The Black Hole both had excellent music scores by John Barry, and Michael Lonsdale as Hugo Drax along with Richard Kiel as Jaws were both great bond villains. I also love both The Black Hole and Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The Black Hole is a very good and brilliant sci-fi Disney film, The Black Hole had amazing characters like Dr. Hans Reinhardt, Maximilian, and V.I.N.CENT, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture was a pretty good start to the Star Trek Film Series. Overall, I always liked Moonraker, The Black Hole, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture and I would watch Moonraker, The Black Hole, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture from 1979 over any post 1980 Star Wars film all day anyday.
Always Loved Black Hole and Star Trek despite what Critics had to say. Star Trek was Poorly recieved because everyone expected a 2 Hour TV series. But if you took in consideration that it was more philosophical than Trivial TV series which we all loved than you can appreciate it. Moonraker is by far my favorite 007 film. Best Bond, Theme Song, Sarcastic leafing lady, and this Score..wow! And Shirley Bassey. Did I mention I Could never Digest Star Wars for some reason?
davebrucelee2011 Although the music score for ''Moonraker'' has some beautiful pieces of music, the overall music score is far from John Barry's best Bond film music scores which are ''DAF'', ''YOLT'' and ''OHMSS''. ''DAF''', ''YOLT'' and ''OHMSS'' are Barry's 3 masterpiece Bond film music scores and ''FRWL'', ''Goldfinger'' and ''Thunderball'' are excellent music scores. The sad but understandable reality is that Barry's creative well began to run dry as far as the Bond films are concerned starting with the basically forgettable music score for ''TMWTGG''. The music score for ''Moonraker is a good, workmanlike music score, but it it is nowhere near the level of Barry's three masterpiece Bond film music scores or even at the same level as his three excellent Bond film music scores. Barry was a brilliant music composer, one of the greatest film music composers in history, but even a brilliant music composer eventually runs out of fresh ideas for music for a particular genre of film after scoring numerous films in that genre. It is wonderful that Barry left the Bond film series with one last great musical moment when he and Chrissie Hynde co-wrote the absolutely beautiful song ''If there Was A Man'' for the Bond film ''The Living Daylights'' which should have been that film's main title song rather than the lousy song ''The Living Daylights'' by the music group Aha.
7Lukibi99Tore7 I failed to type a pair of close quotation marks one time after the last letter in the movie title ''Moonraker'' in my previous comment.
7Lukibi99Tore7 I also failed to capitalize the letter ''T'' in the word ''There'' in the song title ''If There Was a Man'' and I should have typed the indefinite article ''A'' in that song title as a small letter ''a'' not as a capital letter in my earlier comment.
John Barry’s score still stands as it does now 45 years ago
He brings a lot of romanticized energy to each bond movie

Perhaps they'd all become jaded with the formula because Moonraker is perhaps the quintessential Roger Moore Bond movie.

Oddjob was in Goldfinger and Goldeneye......on the N64 lol
Poor Blofeld...
I remember seeing the scene with Jaws disguised as a clown and feeling absolute terror. It really holds up as horror movie level scary, not often you find that in a Bond film
That's the thing that fascinates me about James Bond the character, in situations that look like certain death he keeps his cool and finds a solution.
John Barrys music is simply "out of this world" the like of which we will never see again.
'I think he's attempting re-entry, sir!'
13:00 The epic entrance into space...gets me everytime
This is what brought me here. This is absolutely amazing.👍
Open the cargo doors!
Likewise, the scene in the shuttle to see the cargo @ 14:55 to then build back up again, perfection
Yes, a very memorable theme, appears in the Shirley Bassey disco theme tune also, John Barry knew his game
Growing up watching James Bond with my dad, I always preferred this movie out of all the JB films. Its a movie that has a plot that is easy to understand, the hero and the heroine are both strong, independent, and have a great chemistry that's unique from other relationships with Bond Girls, and then there's the wonderful, magical music.

Into space. Classic John Barry and Bond
Best Bond sountracks ever! Probably also one of the best soundtracks of cinema movies
John Barry and Ennio Morricone. The best composers of film music, hands down.
Hell yeah...
Yep def
Definitely !!!!! And Hugo Montenegro was in that class also. !!?!!!
Almost but I do agree, they are good composers in film music :) Cheers...
Yes the best two in the entire History of Cinema
Great film with great music !!! 👍👍👍
Send me shivers of nostalgia of my youth. Stunning.
I was 14
No one can ever match John Barry.
Absolutely gorgeous soundtrack. Shout out to Hal David too for beautiful lyrics. "Take my unfinished life and make it complete" just wow.
2:43 - Favorite Part of the whole soundtrack.

I read that to myself in an Alan Partridge voice!
Retro Brothers This is GREAT banter!

Could be titled 'Luring to the space station'.

18:37 brought me here. Undoubtedly the best soundtrack John has ever composed for a 007 movie.
since i heard this in my younger years i fell in love with this score. so awesome
Love this bond film for it's epic scope...world destruction and remake in some lunatic's own image...noone to save them but Bond. it's the way bond thrives best. Great soundtrack...one of the best

NOTE to all current and future James Bond movie soundtrack composers. THIS is how a James Bond movie should sound and feel.
Thank you very much.
+coolcat20million So true. I don't have high hopes about the next soundtrack.
Well said, that man.
I love your comment Coolcat20million
The Adele song wasn't half bad. It really captured the spirit of these OSTs
@@pdjinne65 I like Adele one too, I think there is some inspiration mood from Moonraker....you know slow, intense, enigmatic atmospheare ...
I was watching this years ago and didn't realize the music was John Barry. Then, the music at 19:41 began, and I said to myself, "Oh, wow, this has got to be John Barry." Awesome as always!!

1:07 Best music there will ever be..Simply a masterpiece :)
Totally agree.. Can still hear the mortars going off now! Fabulous
What's the name of that song?
Bond arrives in rio and boat chase ;)
AKA "007" theme, it is first heard in the gypsy camp fight in From Russia with Love and again in the oil rig attack in Diamonds are Forever.
One of my favorite Bond movies, right beside Goldeneye, Die another day, and Dr. No.
i think it's a statement that even in her less successful ventures shirley basey gives me goosebumps, of course in the most positive manner imaginable
nothing to skip...best ever👍
Captivating compositions that i keep on coming back to time and again.
You started with Side B. Realized that within a split second. My father and me bought these LPs after having seen all these Precious James Bond Movies from Dr. No up to A View to a Kill. And the 2 Timothy Dalton Bonds belong to this precious series also.

Love the Movie Moonraker!!! One of the best Bond Films.
The only way I can define it is he gave such a distinct identity and atmosphere to those individual Bond films. Moonraker he had so much influence, the score reflected outer space so much
Very frustrating that Spotify removed this beautiful album from their platform.

Miss Godhead meets Bond ❤ - Dame Shirley Bassey ❤
Shirley Bassey rules. NO Matter.
the best movie of the franchise by far, and made right during disco's peak year - what more can one ask?
Space Marines!!
I loved your comment!
(Even though it's not the best movie of the series).
antasatibal Granted that it is a matter of opinion not fact, but ''Moonraker'' is not even remotely close to being the best Bond film of all-time. That distinction goes to ''FRWL'' and then ''Goldfinger''.

My favourite Rodger Moore Bond movie is Octopussy
The Octopussy theme is just perfect. My favorite as well.

I like Bond films where the clichés are toned-down. This score ticks that box for me. Twangy guitars and parpy horns are replaced by bowed double bass, celestial choirs and majestic brass.

Man, I always loved both Moonraker and Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Moonraker along with Star Trek: The Motion Picture are both the most underappreciated sci-fi films of all time, they are both way much better sci-fi films than any Star Wars film made after 1983's Return of the Jedi, and Star Wars as a Franchise was never the same when Richard Marquand ended the Star Wars adventures of Luke, Leia, and Han Solo in 1983.
Moonraker is a very underrated and awesome bond film, it is my all time favorite Roger Moore bond film, and Moonraker had great performances from Roger Moore, Michael Lonsdale, and Lois Chiles. Moonraker had a superb John Barry music score, the boat chase scene with Jaws in the Amazon River was brilliant, and Moonraker as well as Star Trek: The Motion Picture are both one of my absolute favorite films of 1979. I also really like Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Star Trek: The Motion Picture was a very impressive Star Trek film, it had great stuff like Leonard Nimoy's performance as Spock and the Jerry Goldsmith music score, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture had good plot of the Enterprise crew investigating V'Ger. Overall, I will always have a soft spot for Moonraker and Star Trek: The Motion Picture from 1979 and I can't believe that Moonraker and Star Trek: The Motion Picture are both 45 years old now in 2024.
Wow, I Love Moonraker, The Black Hole, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture so much. Moonraker along with The Black Hole and Star Trek: The Motion Picture are the most underappreciated sci-fi films of all time, they are all way more better sci-fi films than any Star Wars film made after 1980, and Moonraker as well as The Black Hole and Star Trek: The Motion Picture are all great cult classic sci-fi films from 1979.

The Black Hole is a very good and brilliant sci-fi Disney film, The Black Hole had amazing characters like Dr. Hans Reinhardt, Maximilian, and V.I.N.CENT, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture was a pretty good start to the Star Trek Film Series.

It is wonderful that Barry left the Bond film series with one last great musical moment when he and Chrissie Hynde co-wrote the absolutely beautiful song ''If there Was A Man'' for the Bond film ''The Living Daylights'' which should have been that film's main title song rather than the lousy song ''The Living Daylights'' by the music group Aha.
7Lukibi99Tore7 I failed to type a pair of close quotation marks one time after the last letter in the movie title ''Moonraker'' in my previous comment.
7Lukibi99Tore7 I also failed to capitalize the letter ''T'' in the word ''There'' in the song title ''If There Was a Man'' and I should have typed the indefinite article ''A'' in that song title as a small letter ''a'' not as a capital letter in my earlier comment.
I'm really shocked No one mentioned Marvin Hamlish and Spy who loved me? Beautiful Score and Epic fim...Rogers Favorite!

Imho the worst Bond of all, but the most genuis composition of all, if not of all classical soundtracks.
