anyone voting for a non-Connery bond film should die in a fire.

"On My Ladies Royal Tush"

The Cheerfull Turtle (Latham Green), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 21:18 (twelve years ago) link

Live and Let Die is the best, and Roger Moore was the best Bond. The new Casino Royale was pretty good too.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 15 February 2012 21:19 (twelve years ago) link

I just like the ones that feature Toblerone

The Cheerfull Turtle (Latham Green), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 21:21 (twelve years ago) link

truth (which surprised me): pierce brosnan would be my 2nd favorite Bond (though i'm willing to see how the david craig era goes before making that final).

the blaxploitation parts of "live and let die" were amusing (as was yaphet kotto blowing-up a la Violet Beauregarde in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory") ... the part where it turned into a precursor of "smoky and the bandit" (complete with dumbass rednecks and overlong, pointless chases through the bayou) were not so.

Puppenmeister Meisterpuppen (Eisbaer), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 21:25 (twelve years ago) link

can't believe OHMSS didn't place higher!

Eisbaer, I think Brosnan (the first couple of films at least) is a great Bond. He's like a great balance between Dalton's grit and Moore's charm. Goldeneye is a ludicrous film, but I'd rank it up there with the best Bond performances.

gyac, Wednesday, 15 February 2012 21:29 (twelve years ago) link

wtf dude, 5th place is way too high as is

RudolfHitlerFtw (Hungry4Ass), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 21:33 (twelve years ago) link

not really.

you could make a good case for a couple below it but moonraker is certainly not one of them.

gyac, Wednesday, 15 February 2012 21:36 (twelve years ago) link

I enjoy ho w Roger Moore was both posh and could kick some ass

Yeah, 4 votes for Moonraker, WTF. The Living Daylights should be much higher. Can't argue with the top four though.

Who the fuck voted for Licence To Kill

I miss Goldeneye on N64

De La Soil (admrl), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 21:59 (twelve years ago) link

i'm guessing that some folks found "moonraker" to be entertaining in a campy way ... i didn't find it so, but i guess i can see some folks looking at it that way.

Puppenmeister Meisterpuppen (Eisbaer), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 22:51 (twelve years ago) link

ohmss is a solid movie but lazenby's boring. regardless, it placed really high and i cant see being dissatisfied with that. maybe you think it's better than live and let die, but surely not the other three ahead of it?

RudolfHitlerFtw (Hungry4Ass), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 23:00 (twelve years ago) link

lazenby wasn't bad at all ... he only suffers in comparison to sean connery IMHO.

i'm more shocked w/ the lack of love for "the spy who loved me" ... not only is it the best film from the Roger Moore era, IMHO it's one of the best films during the entire series.

Puppenmeister Meisterpuppen (Eisbaer), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 23:02 (twelve years ago) link

i think Lazenby's kinda wooden, it's an excellent film tho.

all Moore's films are for shit tho.

dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 23:05 (twelve years ago) link

roger moore is like the fucking Tory party James Bond

dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 23:05 (twelve years ago) link

I thought Roger Moore was the better Bond when I was a kid

rrrobyn van pursuit (admrl), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 23:08 (twelve years ago) link

it's probably a "who did you see first" thing, i saw Connery, then read the books, then when i saw Moore i just felt like he was taking the piss

dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 23:14 (twelve years ago) link

roger moore is like the fucking Tory party James Bond

haha was thinking the same thing.

Moore was my 1st Bond ... so i originally thought that Bond was supposed to be a bit of a clown. only later did i see the Connery Bond films and had a rethink.

Puppenmeister Meisterpuppen (Eisbaer), Wednesday, 15 February 2012 23:24 (twelve years ago) link

oh come you guys, Octopussy is nonstop roffles

it has a KILLER YO-YO in it

(thinks and smiles) (DJP), Thursday, 16 February 2012 00:04 (twelve years ago) link

Octopussy, followed by Moonraker, are probably the best Moores if you kinda hate him as I do.

Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 16 February 2012 01:28 (twelve years ago) link

when Diana Rigg or snow chases aren't onscreen, OHMSS is boooooooooring

Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 16 February 2012 01:30 (twelve years ago) link

best james bond movie is the one that's on TV, obviously. up until roger moore quit doing them, at which point it becomes one of the other ones.

About the only charming quality to Roger Moore is that signal he sends to the audience that we know he's too old for this shit and he knows we know.

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 16 February 2012 02:40 (twelve years ago) link

You all loved it when Moore cold-bloodedly pushed that dude in the car off the cliff in For Your Eyes Only. Don't even front.

Tough call. Either would have been Casino Royale or the one set in Vegas. Or the one with Grace Jones and Walken and, you know, Duran Duran.

Raymond Cummings, Thursday, 16 February 2012 04:50 (twelve years ago) link

Can't believe Die Another Day got even a single vote

That movie stopped being awesome the moment Hallie showed up

Raymond Cummings, Thursday, 16 February 2012 04:51 (twelve years ago) link

When Halle showed up, she was in a bikini, so your thesis statement is tragically flawed

(thinks and smiles) (DJP), Thursday, 16 February 2012 04:53 (twelve years ago) link

This is an odd poll, b/c it seems that bond films of different eras would be incomparable. Goldfinger works differently than For Your Eyes Only which is different that Goldeneye and Casino Royale.

And how does one compare 1964 Shirley Bassey to 1981 Sheena Easton?

Spleen of Hearts (kingfish), Thursday, 16 February 2012 04:57 (twelve years ago) link

Oh shit GOLDFINGER. how did I forget that

Hmm, interesting: a collection of essays/reviews running down each soundtrack:

http://www.tjbd.co.uk/james-bond-soundtracks.htm

The moments where Conti’s score turns into classic orchestrated Bond music are terrific, and if you can overlook the Moog synthesisers and disco funk of some of the other tracks, it is a much better soundtrack than For Your Eyes Only is a film.

Tragic attempt to invoke Ursula Andress. The only thing worse than her in DAD is the invisible car.

better an invisible car than a bucky blue ball

For Your Eyes Only is really great!

Definitely one of the most interesting of the latter Moores.
