I think the reason they remade Thunderball as Never Say Never Again had more to do with copyright loopholes than anything else.
For the record, I love You Only Live Twice. From the snazzy Nancy Sinatra theme song to the bullet in a cigarette, the movie never fails to amuse me. Plus, it's the only Bond movie to feature a screenplay by Roald Dahl.
I'll admit that the early Connerys are fantastic - but I somehow find myself drawn back to YOLT and Diamonds Are Forever over and over again.
