Connery, but as it's been stated, with time, Craig could sneak his way in.

I am writing a paper about the portrayal of women in Bond films (the topic is actually much more specific than that description)


You have to make note that it's not rape / sexual harassment because Bond knows that the women want him before even they do. Sometimes it may appear to be non consensual when they don't return the kiss until well after he's used force to pin them down with one hand (the other is down skirt or blouse normally), but Bond knows best. He has extra sensory powers or something.

Grew up on Moore - I liked them as a kid and mostly the Spy Who Loved Me of his material.
I dug the Connery style better - Just some good filming and the style stacks up better than Moore's.,
I was impressed with Craig's - He could really spark it up

I liked Roger Moore, his films were more campy and James Bond kind of seemed gay in them. My favorite Bond film is A View to a Kill with Christopher Walken and Grace Jones as the villains.

Don't forget Barry Nelson, the original James Bond.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casino_Roy ... episode%29

If anyone is interested, you can find the above 1954 television adaptation as a special feature on the DVD of the 1967 version of Casino Royale. Le Chiffre is played by Peter Lorre of all people. Peter Lorre --> Orson Welles --> Mads Mikkelsen... Hmmm

from wiki:

On November 9, 2006 Amy Winehouse announced she had been approached by one of the producers of the James Bond movies to sing the main theme of Bond 22.[19]

actually, this doesn't seem like a half-bad idea.

Yeah. Official Bond films only. Not tv shows or movie spoofs.

That's about what mine would be. It's interesting that Lazenby, an awful Bond, was in such a good film, whereas Brosnan, a good Bond, was in awful films.

Yep. On Her Majesty's Secret Service had a good plot, decent direction, some actual personal tragedy for Bond and and a terrible lead.

The Brosnan Bond films were fun but made little sense. They're like the Batman Forever of Bond films.

Still, Famke Janssen's leg squeezes should have been Oscar nominated.
