Wow. I thought nobody liked thunderball. It's probably my least favourite.
As for the Bonds, I loved Sean Connery's sleakness but I still prefer George Lazenby, who was lucky in that he starred in one of the Best Bonds yet. Shame he didn't stay on, but if he had, Roger Moore wouldn't have arrived, and he was my favourite. I love how he brought a bit of humour to it, but not too much, and just how English he was. Timothy Dalton...well...I don't like to talk about his Bond years. Too depressing. Pierce was good, a bit like an updated connery. Daniel Craig too has made Bond good, although I don't think he can be put against the others as he is a completely different character to them. The rest were different but similar at the same time. Niven can't really be judged against them either as his adaptation of Casino Royale was more of a spoof. My favourite Bond so far has to be The Spy who Loved Me.

Quote:
it was the 1st Bond i ever saw - made me an instant fan and at the time - a big fan of Roger Moore as Bond. Connery was good ... but as Roger was 'my first' i never made as strong as a connection with him. (although to be fair - The Roger Moore Bond films nearly murdered the franchise (Moonraker ... yikes !) I liked what Timothy Dalton was doing with the character - back to basics in part - but Daniel Craig has redefined Bond or rather - properly defined him - as far as the novels go. Bond isnt a pretty boy - he's 6'1" - cruel looking - no nonsense. I hope they maintain the integrity that started with his 1st outing.

I've always dug Roger Moore in the role since I saw A View To A Kill when I was 5 or 6. My dad would always hire them when I was a kid.
Timothy Dalton was pretty underated... The Living Daylights was killer. I think I'll watch a bunch of these soon because my memories pretty hazy on them... been at least 10 years since I watched a bond flick.

You know, I've never actually seen a single Bond film in it's entirety, barring Thunderball when I was way too little to remember any of it.
I own a few of them - like 5 or 6 - and I keep meaning to go through them, but I've just never gotten around to it. I should make that a priority.

Other than having Christopher Lee in one of the most memorable Bond villain roles, it has my all-time favorite stunt scene - the car flipping over the broken bridge! And of course, who could forget Nick Nack, and Sgt. Pepper from Texas?! :D Quote:
Moore brought a humorous "one-liner" sort of attitude to 007, which didn't fit that well with Bond's persona. Sean was more of the lean-mean, edgy type with a powerful charisma which suited Bond better. Having said that, I must say Craig's take has revived the memories of Sean's outing in the opening scenes of Diamonds Are Forever... Dalton was shaping up quite nicely, but the movies didnt do as well as the producers wanted them. I d say he was pretty competent in his portrayals. Quote:
Don't think so. I have the posters of the original artworks though. And the complete Box Set, minus Casino Royale. My favorite artwork is the Octopussy one.
