You Only Live Twice 1967
There was a moment I just thought to myself: “This is insane, I love it”.
It doesn’t make much sense. There’s a lot of emphasis on gadgets and there were at least 10 times the villains could have killed Bond by just simply shot him but they decided to do something much more extravagant and impractical.
Sean Connery goes Japanese (literally), a Bond girl climbs a volcano in a bikini, an army of ninjas, a space ship swallows other space ships, there’s an evil base under a volcano, etc. It’s all madness, almost like a spoof.
God bless this movie.

Tea with Mussolini 1999
There’s a scene in this film where Dame Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith and Lily Tomlin overpower a fascist squad. Think about Mad Max but in a lovely Italian village.

As a historian, I don't care about historical revisionism, I just want to watch Judi Dench wearing a royal gown shouting at people
