Best Bond movie/actor/theme

My favourite is Goldeneye, partly because of the N64 game. I loved putting a bullet through the brain of the bloke sitting on the toilet. You Only Live Twice is great as well, the villain in the volcano was a class touch. Theme is a tough one, Chris Cornell's just edges it over You Only Live Twice and All The TIme In The World for me. Madonna's and Jack White/Alica Keys were the worst and probably came with the worst films too.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (this week, at least)

Timothy Dalton

if we're limiting to themes: You Know My Name (from Casino Royale)

if it's any piece of music from the series, it's one of

(As used in
)

Show Me The Money/Come In 007, Your Time Is Up (from The World Is Not Enough)

Exercise at Gibraltar (from The Living Daylights)

(from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwJd-nfOwyI, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever, and
) - I was kind of dismayed to see that this theme didn't get incorporated into the nostalgia-fest that was Die Another Day :(

Goldeneye (though it's aging terribly)

Daniel Craig (just - Connery is the classic of course, and I think Brosnan could have been brilliant given a more consistent set of films, but Craig has enough of the thug Bond should be)

Theres only 1 Bond theme... ;)The James Bond Theme.

Best Car? The DB5, obviously. While anybody who disagrees about that one is perfectly entitled to their wrong opinion, I have to stress just how wrong they are.

Just look at it. :wub: :wub:

No argument from me.

Although I do have a huge softspot for the DBS from Casino Royale.

Doesn't beat the DB5 though.

I think we've had this discussio before, but I just don't get what's so atractive abou Eva Green. I'd actually rate her as one of the worst (in terms of looks) Bond Girls.

I don't see her as anything more than average to be honest.

That Danish blonde that Pierce Brosnan is shagging whilst on the phone to Moneypenny in Tomorrow Never Dies was delightful even if she was only a minor part. Eva Green looked amazing on the big screen.

Anyone have a favourite song that could have been a Bond theme? Noely G must have written this with Bond in mind

I like Casino Royale most, the Golden Eye and then License to Kill (Pressure container filled with cash people!)

Daniel Craigs the best, I was only born in the 80s, so I've only seen a few, but I've never like Connery, although he's usually classed as the best Bond. Thought Rodger Moore was pretty lame as well, he punched like a complete girl and I think was the main reason there are so many parodies of Bond out there.

Best Music? Erm... I'll say Casino Royale.

To be fair on Roger, there's always been parodies of Bond, even Roger did a parody sketch of Bond before he got the job. A fantasy adventure with such exagerated plots and scenarios, and same format, is always going to be open to micky taking.

One thing to remember with the Bond films from the 60s-70s is that they brought images to movie screeen of far off foreign exotic places to people who had never even been on a ferry across the channel let alone on a plane. These days people have grown in sophistication, travelled more, indulged in luxuries etc. so tastes change and people become less interested in the fantasy. I think thats the reason why most people who never liked Bond have warmed to Craig's recent films, as its hardly fantasy and more serious (which i can get from pretty much most other films). But to someone like me it's less appealin because the serious action as in the recent Craig films was never what Bond, as a movie character, was oringinally about. However, if you're a fan of the books, Craig makes an excellent Bond.

Good Bond car but the looks didnt do much for me. I think the Toyota 2000GTX in You Only Live Twice was a much better looking car.
