Timothy Dalton was my favorite. He seems to be the most true to form of everybody who played Bond.

I always thought Dalton looked the most like Ian Flemming's sketch of Bond.

Another bond fan here, I remembered watching Bond movies few weeks in a row when I was younger, and there were just so many memorable scenes and high-tech gadgets when those were made.  Nowadays the gadgets are so unimaginative and lame that it really pales in comparison.

Favorite Bond is still Sean Connary, and Craig comes in a close second.  I think Craig gives the character a new twist as a modern bad-axx 'operator', but I would imagine the best spy should be more subtle and slick like Sean Connary.

There was a line in one of the Craig Bond movies where M calls him a 'blunt instrument'. That's straight out of the 'Casino Royale' novel. While Connery made Bond suave, the truth is, he has a bit of thuggishness to him. I thought Craig brought that to the character.

Also, mostly unrelated, a quote from the movie 'Casino Royale'. Bond and Vesper have just taken turns analyzing each other's character. Then this bit...

Vesper: "How was the lamb?"
Bond: "Skewered. One sympathizes."
 :rofl:

Here's a question for you Bond fans, let's see who knows the answer.  In the movies Bond famously uses a Walther PPK, but only because he's forced to turn in his favorite pistol at the beginning of Dr. No.  In the novels, what is James Bond's preferred sidearm?
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

Yep!  :tu:  It was a Baretta 418 in .25 ACP.  A well-known gun expert wrote to Ian Flemming, saying that Bond was using a "lady's gun".  Flemming changed it in the novel Dr. No, and the Walther has been iconic ever since.

Hubby is opening his presents for his birthday, and got 'Quantum of Solice' and 'Octosmurf'.

This is part of the reason we're not getting the big 'all movies' pack. It gives him something to put on his Amazon Wish List.  :rofl:

Here's a question for you Bond fans, let's see who knows the answer.  In the movies Bond famously uses a Walther PPK, but only because he's forced to turn in his favorite pistol at the beginning of Dr. No.  In the novels, what is James Bond's preferred sidearm?
Beretta?
JR

Yep!  :tu:  It was a Baretta 418 in .25 ACP.  A well-known gun expert wrote to Ian Flemming, saying that Bond was using a "lady's gun".  Flemming changed it in the novel Dr. No, and the Walther has been iconic ever since.

The person who wrote Ian Flemming's last name was Boothroyd, this was made into Q's last name to pay tribute to the fan that wrote in.

Seen them all at least once and own them all on DVD. Eventually that Bond 50 Blu-Ray set will be mine.  8)

wow, completely missed this thread till now.  :oops:

Big Bond fan reporting in.  :salute:

I read some of the novels in german while I was a kid, really need to get them from my parents for another round. :)

When it comes to films, there seems a lot of personal opinions involved. I like the more "gritty" Bond of Dalton and Craig, as well as some other. My Rating would be:

1. The Living Daylights (1987)
Walther WA2000! SAS in Gibraltar! Harrier! Mudjaheddin! International Weapons trading! Waterloo! A feel of danger in the Eastern Europe scenes! 1001 ways to use a Cello!
Sure, there are some campy elements here (The whole Bond Car - Sorry to say, but the film would have worked better without it)

2. License to Kill (1989)
One of the few films, where bond shows emotions, along with #3. I love the Bond Girl with the shotgun, Q on photo vacation, Bond rejecting a Bond girl...
And I hope I can attend my wedding in something like the grey suit (Not sure about the parajump, though  :whistle:)

3. On her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
How can you not love the first Bond film without a happy ending? The one with the big wedding? Satchmo? I like the Bob Sleigh, the Skiing scenes, Piz Gloria/Schilthorn, Emma Peel

4. Goldfinger (1964)
Ok, as this is a family-friendly forum let me paraphrase it: The best Bond-Girl name of all times!  :angel:
The DB5! Ze evil Jerman (Ex-)Nazi! Judo and flying hats! Enormous sets! Atomic Bomb! The Twins! Did I mention Gerd Fröbe? The MP40 Grandma! :D :D :D Shirley Bassey with the most iconic Bond Song! The epic failure of Bond to stop the time cracks me up everytime!  :rofl:

A movie before it's time: Tracking gadgets and navigation systems! Thanks to GPS, we all now feel like we are driving a Bond car!  :tu:

If I would show someone his/her first Bond movie, this would be it.

5. Thunderball (1965)
I really love the long underwater shots and the Fulton STARS (A real Spy's Gadget!)
The Disco Volante showing the NCC-1701D how it's done!  8)

6. The Spy who loved me (1977)
The famous Union Jack parachute!  :salute: The race who gets the plans first - Sowjet Spy against British Spy! Underwater car! Jaws! The Pyramids! A secret lair at the ocean floor! Cold War getting hot! Lot's of submarines! Curd Jürgens!
The best Roger Moore Bond movie, imo.

007. Casino Royal (2006)
For restarting the series. For a really good, action-packed movie. For the gritty Bond. For a hurting Bond, not one bypassing all dangers like Brosnan's does.
I have to admit I did not watch Skyfall (I have to remidiy this ASAP), but this is the best Bond Movie of the last 25 years, personally.

Long enough?  :think: I could go on!  :rofl:

Good one RT!
Keep going, that's what the forums for info and we want to know what you think.. With any product, whether it be movie, knife, or Multitool, they get better with age, but there is always that older one that sticks out that everyone thinks is better then even the newer ones! Say a Gerber for example, the original, wasn't the best as it pinched you hand everytime it slipped, didn't have all the bells and whistles, but I thought it was better then any other!
  As for the bonds I just don't see "her majesty's secret service" as a good bond, maybe it's the actor, but I just didn't like it, maybe if I get into the books it will be better but I just didn't like it, as much as my little guys on his bond kick I won't make him watch it.. Maybe after we watch the whole set, same goes for "never say never again" it's technically not part of Bond but it's still one of them and it's on tv, maybe I'll get the wife to record it so we can watch it later..

Think I have  most all of the dvd collection with the exception of anything new as Roger Moore and Sean Connery are the only Bonds who are good IMHO. The Spy who loved me is my all time fave, cant get enough of Barbara Bach ! Ringo Starr is a lucky man !

I really enjoy the Bonds.

IMO the few books I've read were better than the films, more detail, and geeky details like the studs in the tyres on the Countess' car in OHMSS which gave her the edge over Bond's supercharged Bentley and the garage didn't approve of the supercharger.

My favourite film is For Your Eyes Only. It's got the best car chase in it with the 2CV after the poor Esprit explodes, and I think the Bond girl is the prettiest. Not that many of the bond girls do anything for me.

I think For Your Eyes Only is one of Roger Moore's better films. It has my favorite Bond quote in it: 'I think we are being out horsepowered!'
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.
