For sure!
Other than having Christopher Lee in one of the most memorable Bond villain roles, it has my all-time favorite stunt scene - the car flipping over the broken bridge!
And of course, who could forget Nick Nack, and Sgt. Pepper from Texas?! :D

I liked what Timothy Dalton was doing with the character - back to basics in part - but Daniel Craig has redefined Bond or rather - properly defined him - as far as the novels go.
Bond isnt a pretty boy - he's 6'1" - cruel looking - no nonsense.
I hope they maintain the integrity that started with his 1st outing.

Moore brought a humorous "one-liner" sort of attitude to 007, which didn't fit that well with Bond's persona. Sean was more of the lean-mean, edgy type with a powerful charisma which suited Bond better. Having said that, I must say Craig's take has revived the memories of Sean's outing in the opening scenes of
Diamonds Are Forever...
Dalton was shaping up quite nicely, but the movies didnt do as well as the producers wanted them. I d say he was pretty competent in his portrayals.

Don't think so. I have the posters of the original artworks though. And the complete Box Set, minus Casino Royale.
My favorite artwork is the
Octopussy one.
