So who was the best James Bond...and the best Bond girl?

by Syl Thu Apr 26, 2018 6:55 pm

And why?....

Sean Connery
Roger Moore
George Lazenby
Timothy Dalton
Pierce Brosnan
Daniel Craig.

Bond girls...too many to name.

by eddie Thu Apr 26, 2018 6:58 pm

I hate and detest Bomd films but going from just what I know I’d say Daniel Craig. Not my type, but definitely looked the part.
I dont like any of the others listed, particularly Pierce Brosnan.

Pierce is a really stupid name too and there’s a little devil in me that wants to suggest it for the Royal baby.

Prince Pierce...it has a ring to it. Cool

I thought Pierce was by far the most handsome Bond....the best was a toss up between Connery and Craig, both very mean and moody.

Best Bond girl by far imo was the first, Ursula Andress, she was absolutely beautiful.
So who was the best James Bond...and the best Bond girl? 183?cb=20171011215141

Yeah she’s a hottie. And her bikini is fabulous!

I watched the Sean Connery ones and the Roger Moore ones mainly as somewhere to go on wet Sunday, local cinema or on the tv on Bank Holidays but not many of the others. We had a show in our local town and a James Bond car was there to have a look at, I did go with friends but have no interest in cars so I don't know what year it was but the car was sort of brown or metallic brown almost coppery as I remember, were the cars a different colour in each film? Must have been an Aston Martin but they all seem to be grey.

by nicko Thu Apr 26, 2018 8:08 pm

It would be an Aston Martin DB5, they used several , mainly silver of different shades.

by Vintage Thu Apr 26, 2018 8:23 pm

Yes, Nicko you are right, this car apparently went all over the country. This was the county show and it was shown in a khaki tent,which didn't seem very big, in the evening so the light wasn't great and I probably wasn't wearing my specs being a teenager and vain. Must have been mid to late sixties as it was being shown in such unsophisticated circumstances. Later it would have been flood lights and glitz.

My favourite was Roger Moore as Bond and Ursula Andress as Bond girl.

I think Roger Moore always had a cheeky grin and his eyes were flirty.

by nicko Thu Apr 26, 2018 9:29 pm

When you mention Bond, Sean Connery is the first man you think of, but Roger Moore is a very close second.

by Ben Reilly Thu Apr 26, 2018 9:54 pm

Daniel Craig! Though I think I like him best is because I liked his movies better than the older ones, they were a bit darker and less over the top.

by Ben Reilly Thu Apr 26, 2018 9:54 pm

Hey, slightly off topic but are they all still based on Ian Fleming stories, or did they finally run out?

by 'Wolfie Fri Apr 27, 2018 6:29 am

My personal list would go :

1. Sean Connery, because he set the standard;
2. Daniel Craig, his movies have been the best ones, so far;
3. Pierce Brosnan;
4. Roger Moore;
5. David Niven/Peter Sellers/Woody Allen;
6. Timothy Dalton;
7. George Lazenby..

(8. Also, a nod to those actors who played Bond in earlier films, where nobody remembers their names (I just had to look them up..) : Barry Nelson (1954), Bob Holness (1956), Bob Simmons (1962).. https://www.007james.com/articles/who_played_james_bond.php ).

Best 'Bond Girls' ?

Ursula Andress -- as the first, she set the benchmark for others to follow;
Honor Blackman, ('Pussy Galore' in Goldfinger..)
Halle Berry
Michelle Yeoh
Grace Jones

Not sure without googling.

Another thing slightly off topic....Who would have thought the same author of all the Bond books would have also written Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for kids?.

I loved Roger Moore when he was being himself in interviews, he was incredibly dry and witty.....and a really good story teller.
As was David Niven (a lesser known Bond)

I think overall Sean Connery ususally tops the list of the best James Bond.
As with Ursula Andress as a Bond girl with a great name (Honey Ryder)...the originals are still considered the best.

by nicko Fri Apr 27, 2018 1:31 pm

Pussie Galore, "knock knock"

Subtle or what?? Razz

I have to say though that Honour Blackman played that role to perfection.

by magica Fri Apr 27, 2018 5:05 pm

I went off Sean Connery when he said it was ok to give a woman a good slap! Evil or Very Mad

I remember that too Mags....what an arsehole.
His ex wife actress Diane Cilento also wrote that he used to knock her about when they were married.

by magica Fri Apr 27, 2018 7:00 pm

Horrible man Syl.

by Syl Fri Apr 27, 2018 7:08 pm

Yeah.....I will stick with Daniel Craig as best ever Bond, he and his wife seem really happy. She is having a baby at age 48, she looks about 28.

by magica Fri Apr 27, 2018 7:45 pm

Like you Syl, you look much younger than your age.

Can you pay me that tenner now Laughing

by Guest Fri Apr 27, 2018 7:54 pm

On Bond girls

Jane Seymore and Barbara Bach

Best Bond, without doubt Sean Connery

Jane Seymour...Solitaire....she was good, and like others she still looks great.

I think some of the Bond girls have fared much better than the Bond guys. Wink

Jane Seymour was and still is very pretty. She doesn't look any older.

by Eilzel Sat Apr 28, 2018 12:28 am

Roger Moore - he brought a more humourous edge to the role and absolute bags of charm. His films are also more varied than Connery's, making them more fun, for me, on repeated viewings.

Pussy Galore - a tough ass bitch in Goldfinger, who gave Bond a run for his money Smile

Dont mean to misdirect, but would it not be fun to guess the film from quotes?

So this is an easy one, which Bond film is this?

"Do you expect me to talk?"
"No Mr Bond, I expect you to die."

You have me stumped

"No, I am just looking"

That is a line by Sean Bean, but for the life of me, cannot remember the name of the film Rolling Eyes

How about this one

“Miss Anders! I didn’t recognize you with your clothes on.”

An educated guess, Moonraker?

by Raggamuffin Sat Apr 28, 2018 11:01 am

Roger Moore. He was "smoother" than Sean Connery, and had a naughty twinkle in his eye. Laughing

Britt Ekland - just because I like Britt Ekland really.

My favourite baddie was of course Christopher Walken as Max Zorin in A View to a Kill.

by Eilzel Sat Apr 28, 2018 11:08 am

Walken is always an awesome baddie, such fun to watch Smile

Moonraker spot on, didge Wink

Bond girl...I think my mouth is too big.
Bond........Its just the right size, for me that is.

Here is another for Eilzel

"I hear the Island is exclusively for women, no men allowed.”
“Sexual discrimination, I will definitely have to pay it a visit.”

by Syl Sat Apr 28, 2018 1:19 pm

Mine was 'From Russia with love"....when Connery was Bond and I thought he was the most handsome man I had ever seen. Laughing
