favorite bond film

[The Toyroom]

For Connery: Goldfinger, Dr. No, Diamonds Are Forever
For Moore: Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only

Not really a fan of the later ones, though I really did like Daniel Craig's Casino Royale.....

[The Toyroom]

I think I'd have to second Megoapesbut's sentiment for For Your eyes Only. This was my first Bond film, I believe. If this is the one where he flies a copter, picks up the wheelchair-bound villain and drops him into a smokestack, that's the one.

It was heavily implied that the villain was Blofeld but for some reason they didn't mention him by name......

[Meule]

There's only one James Bond, so my vote goes to Goldfinger

[Gorn Captain]

From Russia with love.

That was a real SPY story, and close to what Fleming had in mind.
I especially loved the fight on the train between Connery and Shaw. That was brutal.

If this is the one where he flies a copter, picks up the wheelchair-bound villain and drops him into a smokestack, that's the one. I also adored Moonraker. I guess its just the era I grew up in. I can't remember ever seeing a Connery Bond film.

they never say who the villian is but I always thought it was suporsed to be blofeld (he was a different actor every time)

the worst blofeld is telly sevallas in her majestry's secret service (and I think lazneby was the most wooden bond ever - no comedic timing on his quips)

how can you have never seen a Connery film between ENCORE, tnt/tbs and bbc america bond is almost always on. nevermind home video/dvd. the first 5 bond films are all excellent and set the pattern of all the rest. most people have at least 3 in their bond top 10's. You should rent some of these. Connery in order
Dr no
From Russia with love
Goldfinger
thunderball
You only live twice
then sean wanted to take some time off and they cast lazenby for On Her Majesty's secret service which didn't work so well.
Sean returns as bond for Diamonds are Forever which takes camp to the extreme and is argualby his worst bond (Never say Never again the remake of thunderball was pretty bad too - no bond music).
then the ball is passed to Roger Moore

[Mikey]

Even though Sean Connery is my favorite Bond, I will give Roger Moore credit for one big thing --- In my opinion he had the BEST cold opens in the entire series.

For people who don't know what a cold open is ... it's the short beginning sequence before the opening credits and song.

I love Bond. It's probably the thing I look most forward to at the movies. Connery's the man, but I like them all. I think Moore only suffered from the fact that the series got too jokey with him. He was always good.

1. Goldfinger
2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
3. Dr. No
4. From Russia With Love
5. For Your Eyes Only
6. Diamonds Are Forever
7. Casino Royale
8. The Spy Who Loved Me
9. Licence To Kill
10. Die Another Day

Please Mr. Bond...We can do a deal. I'll buy you a delicatessen...in stainless steel! (just before he is dropped down the smoke stack)

[Bill]

Go ahead and laugh at me, but I grew up during the Roger Moore era and just can't help having a soft spot for his flicks. My favorite is probably For Your Eyes Only. I'll probably be the only schmuck admitting that. My wife was upset when Luigi Ferarra got killed. The Spy Who Loved Me comes in a close second.

Right there with ya. That deadpan delivery was just so fitting.

[Mikey]

Live and Let Die was the first James Bond movie I ever seen in the theatre -- and the first Bond movie I ever seen period.

For that reason, it holds a special high spot in my fav list.

[The Toyroom]

they never say who the villian is but I always thought it was suporsed to be blofeld (he was a different actor every time)

I think there's a reference in the dialogue to it being the anniversary of Tracy's death......Blofeld being responsible, it's only fitting that Bond should get his revenge that day....

[cjefferys]

It was heavily implied that the villain was Blofeld but for some reason they didn't mention him by name......

This was due to the legal action that ended up giving former Fleming collaborator Kevin McClory rights to "Thunderball". This supposedly included the character of Blofeld since he was introduced in that story. Although he ended up appearing in other Bond films, so I'm not sure why he couldn't be named in For Your Eyes Only. The case seems a bit convoluted, it may have been due to McClory finally being able to get production started on the remake of Thunderball that he was allowed to produce as a result of his lawsuit with Fleming (which ended up being the film "Never Say Never Again")

[The Bat]

I love that Casino Royal takes a more serious approach to Bond. I don't miss some of the campy lines, like the one Brosnan used with Christmas Jones..."And I thought Christmas only came ones a year".

The whole Audience groaned when he said that line.

[starsky]

my first bond film was for your eyes only so for me, it's special. i've always liked the spy who loved me especially when the lotus dives into the water to become a sub.
