Poll: Favorite James Bond Movie...

That scene in The Spy Who Loved Me where they're driving across the desert in the blue van after Jaws ripped it to shreds reminds me of the scene in Terminator 3 where Arnold looks over at John Connor and says "we need a new vehicle".. Cheesy, but funny..

Roger Moore put too much cheese into the Bond character. I prefer Pierce Brosnan, myself (though I should really rewatch those old Sean Connery ones).

Thats my train of thought. Bond is ment to have those quick one-liners everynow and then, but Moore had them every few minutes, and it was hard to belive that a guy that looked 50+ in the films and with a gut that big was in MI5 (or was it MI6!?). It was very comical with Moore.
Connery was a little better, but he didnt look quite right for the role imo. And dalton just plain sucked.
Brosnan however, is perfect. He just has that "bond" look and the attitude of what Jame Bond is ment to be. He is bond personified imo.

 
Diamonds are Forever - for many reasons..

The story is funny - Blofelds plans are messed up becuase of that misplaced tape.. lol

Jill St John was just really hot !

The villians

Blofeld is just rigid and has the perfect demeanor (and institution inspired clothing) to be a villian. The newer heroes are too normal and not as interesting, to me, anywayz.

Those 2 homosexual guys also happen to love killing people and acting stupid at the same time. Thank god they did that and got it out of their system.. The storywriters couldnt get away with it today..

Bambi and Thumper, i watched this fight scene over and over when i was yay little ! I still can't figure out how bond actually beat them.. They had his number dogGonIt!

AND.. This is the one with that cool car chase where BOND manages to get the car on 2 wheels to squeeze thru an alley

Anywayz.. i just love this movie

Was a Brosnan film your first Bond, by any chance?

Nope.
I watched several connery and moore films way before i saw brosnan.
 
goldfinger, followed the rest of the sean connery films. "the living daylights" is the best non-connery film, although you could argue that it's the least bond-like of the bunch. it was comparitively much darker and less humorous than the other films. anything with roger moore stunk. his movies were like a cartoon or something.


edit: if you've read those early books, you know that sean connery IS james bond, so accept no imposters. brosman makes a good spy-hero, but he's someone else, not james bond.

The Living Daylights is probably my third favorite Bond flick. It was more of a drama than an action comedy. It was dead pan serious, no humour whatsoever. I also have it on DVD 🙂

Goldeneye... it's the first one I ever saw. My parents took me to see it in the theaters when it first came out... then about 5 years later when I played the game and watched the movie again... I realized that I had seen it.

After that is "the Living Daylights". I dunno why. It's not really that good of a bond movie, but I like it.
I was just about to say that all the votes for Goldeneye is a reflection on the average age of posters here...

Goldfinger. I really should find it on DVD. Does anyone know if theyre selling the older movies seperate from the collector's sets? I own at least one movie from each set so it's dumb to have to buy a duplicate.
Goldfinger was part of the first of the rerelease sets and is available on its own. So far that's not true for the ones in the last two sets yet, which drives me nuts! I need A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights, and You Only Live Twice to complete my collection. Bah, been told "they'll be out in a few weeks."

I voted For Your Eyes Only. More traditional Bond, but with a better budget. I like that no one has voted Die Another Day 😀 I blame Madonna for killing that movie 😉

Oh, speaking of that one, am I the only one who thinks that the role of Jinx was originally going to be Col. Wai Lin from Tomorrow Never Dies?

Did you know Christopher Lee was one of those considered for Bond from the beginning? Being the cousin of Flemming helped I guess 😛

Are you implying that the votes for GoldenEye are related to the best N64 game ever?

Goldeneye is total garbage, you people who voted for it just don't know any better.
And you do?
Just cos you dont like it, does`nt mean that you can disregard other peoples opinions as being wrong.
