James Bond had been in a slump since 1974βs lackluster βThe Man With the Golden Gun.β But Roger Mooreβs third time as the secret agent ended up being one of 007βs biggest crowd-pleasers, as βYou Only Live Twiceβ director Lewis Gilbert returned to the franchise, pairing the secret agent with Russian counterpart XXX, aka Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach), who was the perfect foil for Mooreβs debonair spy. The film is packed with great set-pieces, such as the pre-credits retro-cool ski scene set on treacherous slopes, an outrageously fun car chase in which Bondβs Lotus Esprit turns into a submarine and a massive shootout on a tanker with scores of sailors. Plus, it introduces one of Bondβs greatest enemies, the frightening, metal-mouthed Jaws.
