Rewatched You Only Live Twice.
It isn't one of my favourite Bond films, but there is so much to like. Such as:
1) THE FIGHT AT KOBE DOCKS
This sequence is Peak Bond. Okay, so the fighting isn't anything special, but the music takes it to another level.

2) THE SCORE
The score is one of John Barry's best. Which is saying something.

3) THE THEME SONG
Nancy Sinatra's theme song is timeless. It is a gorgeous piece of music, and it is one of my personal favourites.

4) THE FIGHT IN OSATO'S OFFICE
You Only Live Twice is one of the most cartoonish films in the series, but this fight is excellent. It really packs a punch. Plus, the henchman is played by The Rock's grandfather!

5) THE VILLAIN
Personally, I prefer the unseen version of Blofeld, but this version is iconic. Even if the cat hates him.

What a voice!

7) THE VISUALS
Freddie Young's cinematography is very sexiful.

8) THE SETTING
When Bond is walking around Japan, it just feels... right. Somehow, the setting is a perfect fit for the character.

Normally, I prefer real locations, but some of these sets are remarkable. Bravo, Ken Adam.

10) THE SCENE WITH HENDERSON
Charles Gray doesn't get much screen time, but I love scenes like this, where Bond gets information from a local contact.

11) THE POISONING SEQUENCE
I like the idea of an assassin who waits until Bond is asleep, then tries to drip poison into Bond's mouth. He doesn't get Bond, of course. But the sequence is surprisingly tense and memorable.

12) SEAN CONNERY
Okay, so he's a long way from his best. But he's still Sean Connery, and he's still very watchable.
