of course all of them are great.
Sean Connery was best 007
Roger Moore second
Wasn't Roger Moore in For Your Eyes Only?

My favorite Bond film is the one with Michelle Yeoh, Tomorrow Never Dies. Michelle was fantastic, and believable.

One of the worst Bond films is the one with Denise Richards, The World is Not Enough - she just doesn't have the look of a nuclear physicist. But the French chick, Sophie Marceau, was hot as hell.

I like Living Daylights as well, Dalton had a real shot as Bond but he blew it big time in the next one, License to Kill.

Goldfinger is the best IMHO, but some of the Roger Moore-era films as well as The Living Daylights get an honorable mention. :cheers:

I think Goldeneye is the best. Probably because it's the first one I've watched... and also because I've never watched any of the old ones all the way through :(

Thunderball is my favourite Sean Connery, who is my favoueite Bond, but I can't give a specific reason why, other than I liked the plane getting tricked into landing in water.

From Russia w/Love, Moonraker, Man With The Golden Gun and Live and Let Die are my favorite Moore films, because of the fabulous actresses. Sorry, I like so many women; it's reallt hard to whittle the list down any more than that.

I'll not talk about Timothy Dalton or George Lazenby.

My favorite Pierce Brosnan Bond flick is The World Is Not Enough, which has Sophie Marceau as Electra King , AND Denise Richards as Dr. Christmas Jones. WOW. I still am in rehab over the ice cube scene......

From Russian w/Love is Connery, old chap. The dyke with the "knife-shoes" is a classic Bond moment. (the fight scene on the train is damm cool too) I'll take my Solitaire shaken not stirred. :twisted:

Goldfinger, no question.

Also a very good book.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.

in order, my top three are:

1. Goldeneye
2. Live and Let Die or The Spy Who Loved Me
3. From Russia With Love

Top 3 WORST:

1. Moonraker
2. (Moore's last one with the villian 'Zorn'...)
3. Goldfinger (yes, controversial, but I really con't understand why people view this as a good movie... it is rediculous almost on the level of Moonraker...!)

sorry, I knew that Goldfinger would bulge some eyes. I'm not picking this one to be controversial in itself. I really thought it was a bad movie. From Bond 'tricking' the world's stupidest guards in opening the cell door, to the planes of 'sleep gass' flying overhead and INSTANTLY knocking everyone unconscious (yah, I know they were faking), it was truly a rediculous movie along the line of Moonraker, where, for me, I could not suspend my disbelief...

...actually Bond riding the tidal wave on a broken peice of a rocket car in the last movie was pretty rediculous too. I think I gagged in the theatre.

For me there is a line between fun spy-action and rediculous fantasy-comic adventure...

...not that I have anything against fantasy-comic adventure, but not with Bond please...

OK, I have said enough...

the worst moment in Bond history without a doubt.
i would probably rank Die Another Day as one of the worst films in the series

(Rushes to defend Die Another Day) :wink:

I watched it again just a few days ago, and I remain convinced it is one of the best Bond films ever. Indeed, right now, I rank Die Another Day and Tomorrow Never Dies as my two favorite Bond films of all. A big part of it is that these two movies feature gals who can seriously kick butt (Michelle Yeoh in TMD and Halle Berry in DAD). :)

Since CovJr summed up Die Another Day so well on the first page, I'll just copy and paste it here, heh heh:
I have to say I thought Die Another Day (despite the awful title - they just seem to be getting worse) was one of the best Bond films I have ever seen. It had all the quintessential Bondness, didn't excessively overdo the gadgets like a lot of the new ones have, featured the one real defeat of 007 while also being the most old-school Bond since Sean Connery gave it up. It felt like all the edginess of the new Bonds with all the charm wit of the old Bonds.

The series has lost it's lustre for me. I loved the Connery films, I thought Lazenby had promise, but the Moore films were atrocious. The series became tongue-in-cheek and all about the gadgets. I thought the Dalton films made a positive move back to the original films. Problem was, Dalton just was not that charismatic.

Brosnan....Meh. Seems like a return to the Moore days.

sorry, but i cannot agree with this.
an invisible car? :-x

There was no actual spying,
If you were to spy on somone, would the first thing you do be attemp to Kill him with a sword. no . It attracts too much attention.

The directors have to reread to ian fleming novels to see what they should be like.

even the baddies are getting worse. a sattellite bomb thing?
it should go back to the days of robberies and assinations.

overall i think they have gone down hill.
i am hopeful they can resurrect it.

Honestly, I'd consider letting it die, then "re-imagineing" it, similar to what was done with Battlestar Galactica. Go back to the source material, they're wonderful books, and start from scratch.

Ok, I concede that. I just found the previous one so lacklustre I was pleased to have a decent one. The point is this was the first Bond in years that felt like Bond to me. Having said that, I'd be very interested in seeing more book-faithful versions of some of them - I read Dr No last year, and it's much...harder...than the film.
