    ...can't remember which one I liked the most...after the Scotsman it didn't matter...Roger Moore tickled my libido more than any other, until the Craig chap read the scripts...

    Daniel Craig without a doubt, the movies and characters more in keeping with the books rather than the gadget laden comedy fest of the previous "James Bonds"

    you're all terrible.
    for me it was a toss up between connery and craig. but craig's too...gay
    connery just has that easy 'don't fuck with me' secret agent thing happening.

    Connery. While the poor bugger ended up typecast by it and refused to do more (twice), he was definitely the quintessential Bond.

    That said, the style of the movies have changed from the earlier ones to the more recent ones. You couldn't get away now with electrocuting someone in a bath and saying "shocking".

    ...it's all relevant...I had read most of the earlier books before the movies were made...the books were riveting without the faces...the rest after that, was entertainment...love 'em all...and his accessories...

    Dalton gets my vote, brought back the some seriousness to the series, but at the same time could have the odd smile/funny moment.

    I see the English bookies have stopped taking bets on the next Bond.

    Someone placed an unusually large bet on it being Tom Hiddlestone (The Night Manager).

    Without a doubt Daniel Craig. Gritty and sullen, the embodiment of the true Bond. He was the perfect choice to "restart" the 007 story.

    The earlier Bond movies were a product of their age and need to be viewed as such. In particular the Roger Moore 1970s personification of Bond was camp and comedic. It's like watching an old Benny Hill show - you have to suspend modern day sophistication and sensibilities.

    ...my Velo doesn't run as fast as it did in the adverts I read in 1969... these days...stop dispelling the youth that was once, you, and start embracing the fact that you once, were thrilled by it all...you were only a decade or so away from black and white and scratchy sound until the silver screen turned into technicolor...and rode some old bikes when they were new...but yes, Johnny was only deserving of a banana at the Academy Awards....
