What is your favorite James Bond movie ?

[Atlas]

Mine is :

The first with Pierce Brosnan and the best IMO.


On the other hand, Timoty Dalton was the most ridiculous Bond ever.

[Donny the Punk]

Agreed, though closely followed by Goldfinger.

[leondegrance]

I agree Timothy Dalton was ridiculous. My favorites are probably Goldfinger and From Russia with Love.

[Dr. No]

Take a wild guess. :)

[Jimbo Gomez]

Goldeneye was excellent. I like Die another day too. Of the classics, I prefer Goldfinger. Oddjob was cool.

America's answer to the James Bond craze of the 1960's:

The one with Ursula Andress in it.

Dr. No?

Dr. No?

Yep, that's the one. I know some people that know her. She has some property in Loudon County. A bit long in the tooth now, though.

I thought The Living Daylights was tolerable, certainly better than the last couple of Roger Moore Bond films. Though I don't think I saw any of the others Dalton did, so perhaps he got really bad really fast. And I admit I saw it in the theater when it came out a long time ago. And I certainly have no plans to watch it again any time soon.

But nothing -- and I mean NOTHING -- was worse than Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again. I saw that one at the theater with a friend who's a Bond aficiando. We were both appalled at Connery's hideous wig, his huge belly with a mat of grey chest hair. And he was running around in a bathing suit for a lot of the film, so you got plenty of chances to see his manboobs jiggle. I think the "Bond girl" in that film was later quoted as saying that it was like kissing her grandfather. They should've marketed it as a parody. Or maybe a horror movie. Plus it didn't have the traditional Bond opening or theme, since it wasn't affiliated w/Albert Brocolli. If you want to see a true trainwreck on film, check that one out.

FWIW, the only Bond movies I'll sit down and watch again nowadays are Goldfinger, Live and Let Die and The Spy Who Loved Me. Though the Southern sheriff from Live and Let Die also pops up in The Man With the Golden Gun, so there's a few minutes of decent comedy in that one, too. And also Tatoo from Fantasy Island.

Personally, I think they should pull the plug on the whole Bond franchise.

I spoke truer than I first thought. Now they're going to regurgitate the Bond film with David Niven sometime this year, though I don't think you're supposed to count Casino Royale as a "true" Bond film.

What's next? Bring back trivia answer George Lazenby?

I liked the one in between Dalton's last and Brosnan's first, when they daringly cast Glenn Miller in ON HIS GOVERNMENT'S SECRET SERVICE. Miller, whose only previous acting work was in a federal courtroom, acquitted himself pretty well, I thought - in fact some fans find OHGSS to be the best in the series.

Me, I love it just for that moment right after the casino manager lends him a white dinner jacket to wear over his coveralls and the Eurasian beauty at the baccarat table watches him order his infamous "Jack and coke - in a damn fruit jar, not a glass" and, taken by this strong-smelling man of mystery she asks, "Tell me - who are you exactly?" - and he fixes her with a raised eyebrow and answers, "Glenn Miller, Traitor Glenn Miller" just as Flatt and Scruggs kick into the Monty Norman theme-music. Awesome scene.

I liked Glenn in the part and apparently Eon was set to go with MOONROUNDER and FREAKIN' MONEYFINGER as the followups when he quit the series to become a simple, unspoiled newspaper clerk in Missouri. Damn shame.

I've never watched a James Bond movie. [/affectation of a Nietzschean ascetic]

Please submit something, anything to every magazine, broadsheet, pamphlet, newspaper and circular out there! Are we ever going to be treated to the Collected Wit and Witticism of il ragno?

It was sad the way Glenn spurned the only woman who really loved him: Miss FreakinMoney, admin secretary for A. Linder, or L.

[il ragno]

Although bringing back J.D. Pepper to coach Glenn on his accent may have been a tactical error.

Q developed an ingenious weapon for superagent Miller. A yarmulka that expodes on impact.

Ah, yes. That was the one where Bond tooled around in a customized pick up truck, the concrete blocks it was resting upon cleverly concealing the jet engine.

[brigadier Biggles]

Goldeneye is my fav as well atlas, it would of been a good end for the franchise i thought, the N64 game was amazing as well.

[Anima Eternae]

Goldeneye. By far.

Too bad all the other Brosnan ones were terrible.

[Jim West]

And then there was Woody Allen in the Bond role, but he was dropped after his first movie in favor of Sean Connery.

Awesome game. Probably the only game ever made being better than the film itself - considering the film was already very good.

[brigadier Biggles]

yes it fucking owned over what, a decade ago now, still beats most stuff they put out these days though.

theres even a HL2 mod for it - http://www.goldeneyesource.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
