    Connery for me. Probably Goldfinger for my favourite movie, though all his are good except Diamonds are Forever.

    Favourite song would be Live and Let Die, You Know My Name (Casino Royale) or Skyfall.

    Favourite car? Hard to decide but I probably have to go with the DB5. Definitely not any of the Fords or AMCs Moore drove in his first two movies.

    For me the order is:
    Connery (all good except Diamonds are Forever)
    Moore (all campy but decent except A View to a Kill)
    Craig (I like half of his movies I've seen)
    Dalton (Living Daylights was good, License to Kill was terrible)
    Brosnan (who can drive through an entire enemy base in a tank and not kill a single person?)
    Lazenby (I couldn't even get through On Her Majesty's Secret Service)

    I really like the books. I actually like the movies a little less after having read the books.

    Powers could definitely take Bond.

    Historically, my favorite was Connery. But my wife says I look like Pierce Brosnan so I'm good with that. There are several movies, by various Bonds, that I liked. I think Dalton was the worst Bond. Daniel Craig has been a victim of more culture-influenced writing, though I really liked Skyfall.

    I do like Sean Connery a lot too, but to me Pierce Brosnan just feels better suited. His acting feels on par with how I imagine his character would be in real life.

    Sean Connery feels more like an armchair casino gang drinking vodka martinis.

    Btw, anyone seen survivor where brosnan is the villain? Epic. I was kinda pulling for him in that one:rofl:Also, November man was excellent!

    I dunno gang, I just like him a lot.

    I've pondered this question many times over the years. I feel people's answers are usually based on what Bond movie got them interested in the franchise. That's the only explanation as to why anyone would pick Pierce Brosnan.

    My starting movie was never say never again. It actually didn't even have 007 on the VHS box. I was puzzled.

    Are you saying Brosnan can't act 007?

    I'm torn between Connery and Moore, as that was James Bond when I was a kid. Connery wins though.

    Connery then Moore for me. Fav Connery movie was the one that started it all, Dr. No, then Goldfinger. Fav Moore movie is Live and Let Die, then The Spy Who Loved Me.

    Thunderball was awesome.

    I read somewhere that the underwater battle at the end of Thunderball was the most violent scene in a Bond movie until the stairwell scene in Casino Royale.

    I've seen all but the most recent, but these I will watch whenever I catch them on.

    Roger Moore FTW! Connery is more of a pompous Sasquatch with a BB pistol than the suave undercover secret agent of Roger Moore.

    Jaws is the best henchman, second being OddJob cuz he can kill you with his hat. Or his shoe. By throwing them at you. And I’ve had plenty of shoes thrown my way.

    Favorite movie is Skyfall. WHHHUUT?!? Yup, stuff blows up and my house shakes. But I like most that is portrays much of the old school 007 stuff rather than some of the high tech gizmos that takes away some of the brains, skill, and resourcefulness of what makes a spy a spy. Sometimes, the old ways are the good ways.

    Villain… hmmm. Tough one. I’ll have to think about it. But I can’t stand Emilio Esteves Blofeld or whatever his name is in Spectre, though I wish the back sorry with him and Bond was a little less on the nose. ‘I’m your long lost adopted brother! It wasn’t me, it was the one armed-man!’

    WORST 007 film - whatever that garbage one was they is the most recent one; the one where Daniel Craig is on the cover trying to impersonate Derek Zoolander’s Blue Steel. I seriously thought the cover was a joke, then realized that’s really what they did. Felt the same way about the movie. Didn’t enjoy it at all, despite the walls occasionally shaking.
