The Living Daylights

Timothy Dalton takes over the Bond mantle from Roger Moore as a darker, but still dashing, 007. With a fairly nebulous plot that involves a defecting KGB general and a rogue U.S. arms dealer, the action sequences steal the show - from parachuting onto the Rock of Gibraltar to tobogganing down a snowy slope atop a cello case. Nothing classes up a movie faster than a cello.
