[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What was the best James Bond film?

Posted: 11/25/2002 11:09:57 AM EDT

There won't be a poll, because the format doesn't have enough slots to put all the potential canidates.

I have always liked [i]You Only Live Twice[/i] the best.

List your favorites. If we come to some sort of pattern and can narrow the field to 8, then I can use the poll function.

Thunderball.

I'd have to say it's a tossup between Octopussy and Moonraker - If only for realistic depictions of both undersea and space battles.

I agree with Mr.P and GummyBear1.
Thunderball was the best.

Goldfinger for sure!

Dr. No or From Russia With Love.

Everything else pales in comparison.

I thought "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was the best film. But on a Bond level, it's not the same kind of film. So out of the rest that I've seen, Thunderball & Dr. No are my favorites.

Thunderball!

Goldfinger, From Russia with Love, Thunderball

I also like Goldeneye, simply because it spawned what is probably the most successful (and fun) N64 game

License to Kill - Timothy Dalton did the BEST job at portraying Bond as he was original written by Ian Flemming - a man of dark moods when aroused and utterly ruthless when going after someone who wronged him.

I know Dalton wasn't popular, but I thought he was awesome as Bond - and License to Kill just had so many neat things going for it - especially Wayne Newton! LOL

From Russia with Love or Diamonds are Forever.

Ummm Jill St .Johns ass. FRWL has a great deep plot.

Goldfinger, From Russia with Love, Thunderball.

Sean Connery is still the one Bond that [b]looked[/b] like he could handle himself and was a womanizer in real life too.

Posted: 11/25/2002 6:02:36 PM EDT

[#23]

Connery in Dr. No was pretty close to the "book Bond" as was Timothy Dalton. Dalton had no scripts to work with though. Goldfinger gets my nod from opening scene to best EVER chicks name. Finally, shoot out in Ft. Knox. Can't touch it!
Thunderball was good. But Domino can't compare to Pussy Galore. And the ejector seat Austim Martin.
goldfinger rules.
Of the Roger Moore films, Live and Let Die, Spy Who loved Me (all the ARs and Stens) and FOr your eyes only.

All Bond flicks are cool though.

[i]From Russia with Love[/i] or [i]Live and Let Die[/i]

I thought Goldeneye was a breath of fresh air.

The most brutal fight scenes ever in a Bond flick. It really looked like Sean Bean and Pierce Brosnan were trying to take each other apart.

The second Brosnan film is the weakest in terms of the storyline, but Michelle Yeoh is a serious action babe.

The World is Not Enough was a big improvement over Tomorrow Never Dies. Better villain, more believable plotline, and a return to the ruthless Bond who will do what needs to be done, even if he finds it distasteful.

I hope Zhukov isn't really dead, Robby Coltrane was great in that role.

Too much John Cleese could really suck.

Dame Judy Dench turned out to be an excellent 'M'

I'm glad they are returning to the Aston Martin. Beemers are nice, but not terribly british.

Of the older stuff, From Russia with Love is excellent and has the second best fight scene in a Bond flick. Roger Moore only had one good film, Live and Let Die. After that he put too much of himself into the role and not enough Bond. The writing collapsed during his tenure as well.

Timothy Dalton was a good Bond working with mediocre material.

George Lazenby was OK in a great story.

Connery- You Only Live Twice
Lazzenby- ????
Moore- The Spy Who Loved Me
Dalton- License To Kill
Brosnan- Goldeneye

I would have to go with Goldeneye.

The best game ever.

I was just playing Goldeneye 64 last week.

OK, call me stupid - maybe it's because I've spent most of my adult life visiting the rest of the world, but when did "Goldeneye" come out? I don't remember ever seeing it.

I remember Tomorrow Never Dies (liked it) and "The World is Not Enough" (Hated it - I will make enemied for saying this, but that chick Denise Richards does NOTHING for me, and was a HoRRIBLE choice to play someone with brains!).

As for my favorite? I would have to say it;s a toss-up between "From Russia with Love" and "Thunderball." I know, cop-out answer. Perhaps I am stil waiting for the ultimate Bond film?

It came out in 1995. Everyone seems to love it, but I didn't. The World Is Not Enough was so bad I walked out of it. Densie Richards wasn't too convincing as a nuclear physicist, no.

Raven, We've disagreed on many issues in the past, but let me say this now: THANK YOU. You are the first person I have ever "met" that agreed with me on the Denise Richards thing. She ruined that movie for me. She can't act to save her life, and made the hot chick Nuclear Physicist from "The Saint" seem almost believable.

Let me say this to the world: I am a straight, single, American male AND I DO NOT FIND DENISE RICHARDS ATTRACTIVE. SHe always has this complete "airhead" look to her that instills in me feelings of anger and violence - definitely not lust.

i like the one where he bangs all the girls he sees.

the girl in "the saint" is elizabeth shue, a real hottie who was in "leaving las vegas"

Oh, I think Denise Richards is hot as hell. Lousy actress, but hot hot HOT! Ever see Wild Things?! I only saw it because of Denise, but it actually turned out to be a damn good flick.

Never got around to see her in "Undercover Brother", but I'm renting it as soon as it's out.

GoldFinger and From Russia With Love.

The only one since Connery that I really liked was Live and Let Die.

I thought Dalton did a good job of the Double-0 assassin that Ian Fleming described, too bad he had a bad script....
