I have to agree with the first post. My fave Bond by far is Connery, and Thunderball leads the list. I put Goldfinger right behind it, followed pretty closely by Golden Eye and Casino Royale is great also. Can't forget From Russia with Love.

There are too many fine Bond girls, but Ursula Andress in the first one is sweet. Domino in Thunderball is fine, and so is that helicopter pilot in A View to a Kill. Trying to choose a favorite is like trying to decide which raisinet is the best one in the box - impossible.

Another good question is- Who is your fave Bond enemy? Ernst Stavro Blofeld is an easy choice, but I have to go with Emilio Largo (partly why I like Thunderball best). Max Zorin is great - love Walken. I didn't see if that question was posed earlier in the thread, sorry of I missed that...

Daniel Craig is much closer to the books. Sean Connery changed Bond from the books into the sleek, smooth man that he was for pretty mucht the rest of it.

I lost all respect for Sean Connery when I saw Never Say Never Again. He could have turned it down. It was Roger's turn in the role but he still did it.

Favourite Bond Girls

*Pussy Galore I think is a great Bond girl (and the name!) (Goldfinger)
*Teresa Draco (On her majesty's secret service)

Favourite Themes

*Live and let die
*Goldfinger
*For your eyes only
*On her Majesty's Secret Service

Favourite Villain

*Blofeld (Possibly Bonds worst enemy)

Forgot about the theme song. The Chris Cornell song from Casino Royale is a great song. That jumped to #1 for me right away.

Agreed. Cornell's voice is awesome too. one of the best male vocalists out the I think.

Oh and, worst Villain is easily Le Chiffre. He was weak. Really a sad excuse for a villain.

My favorite bond villian was Max Zorin .. he was completely nuts.

my favorite bond girl is Michelle Yeoh

the best bond score is You Only Live Twice.

Traditionally a lot of the score music is based on the opening theme song .. replayed instrumentally - slowed down for the romantic scenes, etc.

I think John Barry's You Only Life Twice was lush and gorgeous and played well throughout the film.

as far as theme songs go - anything by Shirley Bassey (i think she did 3 of them ?)

[Mr. Grady]

I mentiond that helicopter pilot before - she was in Moonraker, not View to a Kill.

Agree on Shirley Bassey, she did Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever (a good movie even though Connery was older), and Moonraker. You gotta like Tom Jones' Thunderball, too. I pretty much like everything about Thunderball.

I was disappointed in Robert Carlyle, that character could have been made so much more formidable with the complete tolerance for pain, etc., but they made him somewhat weak & subordinate. Not as ruthless. Zorin was ruthless and nuts (I like that).

Max Zorin, absolutely.

Christopher Lee's Francisco Scaramanga was pretty good too.

Pleasance's take on Blofeld in You Only Live Twice was a big high point of the movie. Although, I hated how Charles Gray made Blofeld look like a complete wussy in Diamonds Are Forever.
