It is no wonder that Lewis Gilbert's The Spy Who Loved Me is Roger Moore's favorite of his 007 films. To my mind, it is the ultimate Bond film, complete with the best Bond girl (Barbara Bach's Agent XXX), the best Bond car (Lotus sub), the best Bond villain (Curt Jurgens' Stromberg), and the best Bond song (Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better").
Ken Adam's set design and Maurice Binder's main title design are fantastic. The film is very funny! Richard Kiel's Jaws is a superhuman monstrosity that can tear apart a van, but struggles a little when wrestling 007. He is way over the top, but it works.
I don't see it leaving my top 100 anytime soon.
