Sean Connery
George Lazenby
Roger Moore

Pierce Brosnan
Daniel Craig

[TIAL]

George Lazenby.

[Munki Bhoy]

The first one. Movie, Bond, Theme, you pick.

Although I do like Live and Let Die as a tune.

[Ezza]

Pierce Brosnan. Mmmmmmm.

[tsb]

Charlottie is wrong! No offence who ever it is, tim was only in two, look it up if want haha

I like Golden Eye as best film, but Sean Connery for Bond. The scottishness makes it perfect.

[foot-loose]

Oddly, I just finished watching all the Bonds back to back last night. I bought Casino Royal on blueray at the beginning of the year, but it has taken me all this time to catch up from Dr No.

Best Bond. I dunno. I like the kinda humour / casualness that Brosnan and Moore brought to it. Moore was a bit camp for my liking though so probably Brosnan would be my favourite athough Dalton was very good.

I don't think we can rate Daniel Craig yet. The first film that he was in was based on the original book by Fleming and shows the character of Bond being created - a kinda "how did he end up as who he is" sorta thing. I am interested to see where they take him next.


Best film... garh. Goldfinger was excellent. Although, I like the gadgets from The World Is Not Enough. And the one where Brosnan races the car remotely through the car park - I want me one of them!

As far as action / effects go - Casino Royal is immense.

[Sunny So Cal]

Die Another Day for me. Pierce Brosnan driving an Aston Martin Vanquish. Plus, earlier in the film, they play The Clash's "London Calling." Great film.

[foot-loose]

... I meant I like the gadgets in Die Another Day, not what I said.

[Munki Bhoy]

Die Another Day? The one with the cloaked car?! No thanks.

[Sunny So Cal]

That cloaked car was a Vanquish though! Plus, it was Brosnan driving it.

[Munki Bhoy]

Vanquish or not, most drivers are idiots when they can see you. How many crashes would you get into with that thing?!

[Andy B]

Simple. Goldeneye, Connery

Oh and best theme has to be either view to a kill or the living daylights.

[tsb]

I totally agree with Andy B there, although i'd add Live and Let Die into the Theme tune list, as it is a great tune to it, not the words but the actually tune.

[Andy B]

One of the few songs where the cover was better than the original I think.

[Munki Bhoy]

One of the few songs where the cover was better than the original I think.

You've obviously never heard Geri Halliwell's version.

[AndyJ]

I didn't realise there were so many bond films! I don't think I have seen half of them. I am going to have to catch up and get with it!

[Andy B]

One of the few songs where the cover was better than the original I think.

You've obviously never heard Geri Halliwell's version.

I was specificaly referring to the Guns n Roses cover. Geri Halliwell should be obscene and not heard.

[tsb]

I unfortunalely have seen every bond film about 100 times now and i still cant decide on a final tune that is the best. I didn't like madonna doing Die another die, But in saying that if it was someone else it might have worked, her voice just wasn't right.

[tsb]

Oh and a bit of triva for you, Thunderball was not an official bond film, even thou it is in the list. It was made by a diffrerent corperation, and as such if you watch it the bond theme doesn't appear!!! as rights to the tunes werent given to the film makes!!!!

And Casino Royale with daniel Craig, was the first bond film to not have the bond theme as a main part of it, infact the them only enteres the film at the end. Sony refused to use it in the film, the new one is said to be the same.

PS if you want a good spoof bond film look up the old casino royale, its a great laugh and a great film.

[Bruvva]

Think you've got it mixed up with Never Say Never Again there. It's basically a remake of Thunderball but wasn't a Cubby Broccoli production - there's a whole legal mess regarding it.

[Yudster]

And the original Casino Royale with David Niven was an appallingly bad film - even as a spoof it really didn't work at all.

[Andy B]

Didn't Woody Allen do something as Bond once? Or did I just dream it?

[Yudster]

yes, he was in the David Niven Casion Royale spoof.

[Yudster]

Casion? You know what I meant.
