Thought i would get you away from the political Discussions for a moment.

As you know the 21st James Bond Film "Casino Royale" with be out worldwide soon.I thought the last 2/3 in the series were very overated,you cant beat the Roger Moore films in my opinon,what do you think of the last few Bonds and what is your fav James Bond.

Mine is:

The Man with the Goldan Gun(1974)
Live and Let Die (1973)
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Moonraker (1979)

I like the storylines and Settings,music and the action,i just think the films since Goldan Eye have just been too dramatic and have gone away from there traditional themes.Technologhy has changed them...

Well...

Roger Moore sucked. If Connery was the ruthless bastard, Moore was the William Shatner of BOND. That is, you never believed him to be an action man, for always close-ups for him, then cut backs to a stunt-man doing the heavy stuff. Hell, Moore ran like a little girl. Besides, he never ordered "Shaken, Not Stirred" in his movies. Never. Go look them up, its true.

I usually say that the best of the franchise were the first few flicks, before BOND got complacent into its formulaic routine. In fact, GOLDFINGER might be considered the first true "BOND" movie that we know of.

Anyway, great topic mate..and expect a review this week from me on the last "good" BOND movie, which like the upcoming CASINO ROYALE, came out after years of Bond being MIA in theaters, had a new actor as Bond, and apparently has gotten raves from people who have seen the movie in advanced press screenings.

I took note with the London screenings, because the UK tabloids since last year wanted Daniel Craig to either die from cancer, or absolutely fail as Bond. They hated his casting. Now all those same rags think he's the best Bond since Connery.

I still cant get used to him as a bond,he just looks nothing like a bond,black hair and all that.I think hes contracted for 2/3 films.

I never reliased that,moore never ordered a Martini

Man, I remembered Craig from LAYER CAKE, and I do remember as well that when I saw MUNICH in theaters, which was when Craig was publicly casted as Bond. I had a thought that went through my thick skull: "You know, he would be a good Bond, if they let him!"

Besides, wasn't Moore brunette?

He was,but Moore looked more like a James Bond,whatever that is...

I have three that are my absolutely favorites, and in no particular order.


Dr. No
Goldfinger
Live and Let Die


IMO Connery will always be the best Bond. Roger Moore was a pretty good replacement for Connery. But after that, no one even came close.


Don Cardi

Craig is the best Bond since Brosnan.

My favourites:

1. From Russia with Love
2. GoldenEye
3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Hes the only Bond since Bronson

I never liked OHMSS.

My Fav Bad Guy



I think he only says two words in two films,not bad going

Timothy Dalton and Sean Connery are the best.

My favourite is from Russia with Love.

IMO, Sean Connery is the ONLY Bond (all the others were Bond wannabes).

"From Russia With Love" was the best of the lot. It caught the true feeling of the Cold War era and it was before the films got "too over the top" by being silly. "FRWL" had subtlety that disappeared soon after the others came out. It also had the best villian, Grant (Robert Shaw). That fight on the train was Bond's best.

"Goldfinger" was the runner-up in the "Best" department.

GoldenEye, Brosnan.

My 2 favorites are Goldfinger and GoldenEye. "I love gollllllllllldddddddddddd!"

"From Russia With Love" and Connery for all the reasons SC said.

I have no fav. Actually Bond's movies are shallow and boring to me.... However, which was the one with the white kitty in? Oh, and of course there's only ONE Bond. Sean, of course.

Sean Bond? Never heard of him.

The white kitty belongs to Blofeld, played by Donald Pleasance in You Only Live Twice.

Who was the best Blofeld? I'll go with Pleasance, though I also liked Telly Savalas.

The name is Bond.... James Bond.

I'd rather make sweet love to Samantha Bond, who plays Miss Moneypenny in the Brosnan efforts.



My favourite Double-O Sevens, in order:
1. Connery
2. Brosnan
3. Dalton
4. Lazenby
5. Moore

I can't wait for Casino Royale.

I sure hope you're not waiting for an argument from me.

She's HOT!

My Favs

Roger Moore
Sean Connerey
George Lazenby
Bronson
The rest

For some reason, I was thinking just there of Bond's sexiest moments. While Lazenby getting a room number drawn in lipstick on the inside of his thigh underneath the table is up there, I'd have to go with this whip-cracker:

"My name is Pussy Galore."
"I musht be dreaming."

The musht is a must; it doesn't work without it.

You're right.

The book explains that Pussy Galore's Flying Circus was made up of lesbians. They really couldn't expose that in the movie but it was kind of understood. Now, ONLY a man like James Bond could "convert" such a woman and make her straight.

.

Remember her reply to Bond when he first tries to seduce her?

"I'm immune."

A hint right there that she was a lesbian.

My Fav Bond Girl

Well, Mick, my all-time favorite double entendre occurred in "Goldfinger":
Bond's got Masterson in bed and he's on top of her when the phone rings. It's Felix Leiter, summoning him to a meeting. Bond replies, "I can't come down right now, Felix...something big has just come up..."
Dead silence in the (1965) movie theater--followed, after about five seconds, with at least a solid minute of guffaws and belly-laughs.

Live and Let Die ...which is also my favorite motto. ;-)

How do you like the car chases and the part where bond escape jumping the crocs.i always like watching these parts

Dr. No

He was in the news recently attending some kind of political rally.

Best Bond EVER:

Sean Connery
