the best bond movie
I will go with the one most critics like best--From Russia with Love. The point and counterpoint of Connery with Robert Shaw, and the colorful characters in it made it crackle with life.
If I could make the perfect one, it would be On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but with Connery in it. If he had made the movie Lazenby did, we all would be talking about it. Finally, don't know if this has been mentioned, but while David Niven may have been one considered for Bond, their first choice was Cary Grant, who turned it down because he did not want to be stuck with a series. Also, when describing Bond, Fleming described him as a young Hoagy Carmichael--and if you are too young to know who he was, think the piano player in To Have and Have Not--also the composer of Stardust. ddomer |

I'm not a massive Bond fan to be fair. I remember the films I watched as a kid but I really disliked them as I got older. Kinda got back into them a bit when Brosnan was Bond, even if he didn't really fit what I though Bond should be - I always imagined him as a bit of a cruel, emotionless bastard - I think he's too liberal in the films. In my mind he's a sociopath with a handler, and the films don't depict this.
The latest few films I like more. I enjoy the way Daniel Craig acts as him but I'd prefer another actor in his place, Paul Bettany does sociopath pretty well so I'd like to see him given 00 status. As for the music, well lots of classics but THIS has always been my favourite. Cheers, Dumbassgo.

The recent version of Casino Royale for me. Up until it the first 3 Connery movies set the template and I would rank them right behind now although before they led the pack. Casino Royale was influenced by the Batman Begins reboot which was also brilliant. An interesting question is which was the bigger letdown Quantum or Dark Knight and further which upcoming version will help or continue to sink each franchise Skyfall or The Dark Knight Rises.

A convincing bond is one you can picture stuffing someone in a sportsbag. Maybe Roger Moore as he could make some quip while doing it. lol

Live & Let Die
I remember seeing Live & Let Die at the cinema when I was about ten & nearly wetting my pants with excitement. I loved all that Voodoo stuff & Roger Moore was the only Bond who could inject some humor into Bond (but I do like Connery too).

Live And Let Die
Moore at his most laconic, Jane Seymore, voodoo, crocs, Clifton James' shitkicker sheriff, New Orleans jazz, and of course that ace Macca theme tune... |

It's still Goldfinger for me.
Back when Bond was just as likely to cleverly outwit the bad guys instead of just blasting them. Goldfinger was the pinnacle for me. I'd put Dr. No as my runner up.

One of the James Bonds in the first Casino Royale is Terence Cooper, he was considered for the role in Doctor No.
