The Best James Bond

Daniel Craig. I read all the books in my youth. Bond was a ruthless bastard - used women, killed as required, hard arse.

Connery gets the nod as the 'original' but played it with a often boyish charm that was not written in the stories. Suited the time for sure.

Graig embraced the true essence of the man - a bastard with a rogue charm.

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".

or when he walks in on the woman in the bubble bath and she says, "Be a gentleman and get me something to wear" and he hands her a pair of slippers. Ooh errr missus. THUNDERBALL I think.

I voted Pierce Brosnan. He is great in a dead eyed stone killer way. Plus there is the super cool BMW R1200C that he rode round those rooftops.

Lazenby was fantastic. That he didn't do any more is very disappointing.

Now look, if you thought that was cool you will not be allowed in the Ducati club bawahahahahahahah

Could only be a worse poll if it were about how to construct the best foot long Sub.

process on high until it almost re-forms as glue
2) add a half teaspoon of maggi "fish stock" powder for every 20L pail of glue mix
3) spray a sunny wall with chicken blood, from here you must work quickly
4) take handfuls of the glue-fish mixture, roll them into sausages and throw them at the wall. when the blood coagulates/the glue dries, they will fall to the floor, sweep up the sausages, slice thinly and put into plastic bin and refrigerate.
5)since there's no actual food in this recipe (except the chicken blood) this mixture will keep for up to 34 years
6) mix can be "freshend up" by stirring through mayonaise.

brosnan was too everyman, and a bit mr. Bean, too. He's more the face of an underwear commercial.
He's only on the list because the directors chose him, not me.

Pretty sure this confirms your taste in films is utter shit.

well, duh.
While i think you're right about moore, i think the suarve-ity comes through, regardless of the period.
I suppose connery had more chance than anyone else to prove it. But thats also more chance to fuck it up, and he did not.

dalton was vague and forgettable. And really, get a haircut you fucking hippy, you're a spy not a fucking guitar playing pot head.

Why is this even a question? When the answer is Sean Connery?

(but I do hear that Craig was a great Bond, more in keeping with the original books, but he is not Sean Connery)
