Sittin here waitin for the race to start, (doesn't look good) and started thinking about all the different actors who played 007.

Question, who, in your opinion, played the best Bond and what was his best movie?

[puppypusher]

Sean Connery was the Best Bond and the Best Bond Movie was you only live twice followed close behind by Thunderball.

Of Coarse that's only My opinion.

Barry Nelson

I know I'm in the minority on this, but Pierce Brosnan was my favorite Bond...had the class, the humor, the "Brit grit". I love the four movies he did, especially GoldenEye. Never get tired of 'em.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

It’s a discussion thread. You’re more than welcome to your opinion..:)

[FredZarguna]

From best to worst:

1. Sean Connery
2. Daniel Craig
3. Pierce Brosnan
4. Timothy Dalton
5. George Lazenby
6. Roger Moore

The best Bond movies are GoldFinger and Thunderball. Roger Moore gets a special thumbs down for playing the role "campy." It's disrespectful to the fans. Play the role straight or get out.

Now for the real controversy. The best Bond Girl:

1. Jill St. John
2. Honor Blackman
3. Brit Ekland

cONNERY, THE FIRST

[Recon Dad]

LMAO!!!

Sean Connery in Goldfinger. Oddjob was definitely a top villain. Although, I did like the one where the villain was capturing the space capsules. Wasn’t there a guy on a spacewalk when he was cut off, or was that just 2001?

Gotta go back to the roots:

Connery in Dr. No

Unless you are wrong.

;) ;)

[I still care]

Both my son and I are in agreement with you. You Only Live Twice.

Besides it has the very best title song, except perhaps from From Russia with Love. Love those REAL songs.

Sean Connery in Thunderball and You only live twice.

[chuckee]

Sexiest intergender fight. 007 vs Bambi and Thumper in Thunderball

[Krankor]

Ursula Andress was the hottest, followed by Ringo’s wife Barbara Bach- then Jill St. John

While Sean Connery defined the movie persona of Bond, my favorite of all is Daniel Craig. He seems to personify the anti-establishment aspect of 007 and brings a raw passion to the role that I like better than the urbane sophistication of all of the other Bond actors. Best movie, Daniel Craig in Casino Royale.

Now for the real controversy. The best Bond Girl:

I vote for the bookend:

[old school]

There is no question that (the original) Sean Connery was the best “007” and the best movie was “Goldfinger.”

[silverleaf]

“Die Another Day”

also a good one!

Pity when watching it this week all I could think of was Geico commercials

[freedumb2003]

Love those REAL songs.

3rd question: Best Bond Theme.

As you stated From Russia With Love is a real song. But a strong contender is The Spy Who Loved Me (frequently incorrectly titled "Baby, You're the Best").

[yarddog]

Shirley Bassey singing “Goldfinger” was my favorite theme song by far.
