Well, I'd probably cast a veil over "Moonraker"... 

 

That said though, it's an astonishing body of work. I was just having a quick glance through IMDb, and there are a number of notable films where he has writing as well as directing credits, e.g. "The Admirable Crichton". 

RIP. 

I love the soundtrack by John Barry and like a number of Moore films I take them with a pinch of salt and enjoy then for the nostalgia of first seeing them as a kid.
