never got to her face 
Sean Connery is by far my favorite actor to play 007, but On Her Majestyâs Secret Service is my favorite bond movie of the series. It just finds the right balance in combining the good aspects of a bond movie without going over the top or missing anything. George Lazenby wasnât terrible, but as others have pointed out, he had massive shoes to fill as the second Bond after Sean Connery.
You what? Including Naomie Harris? If you only remember her from Pirates of the Carribbean, you might have a mistaken impression. :snooty: Sheâs not classically attractive, I guess, but she has presence.
For some bizarre reason though, I have a thing about women with wide-set eyes.
As for Grace Jones ⌠has it ever been proven thatâs sheâs actually female? Or human? OTOH, for that particular character (May Day), Iâd say that was inspired casting.
Ah, that explains a hell of a lot. I was surprised it came out so soon after Casino Royale - they didnât have to rush it. Better to keep people in suspense, surely.
Iâve seen the trailer and some interviews. My assessment of her still stands. If they put an ad out saying âhot black chick required for Bond movieâ youâre telling me thatâs the best they could do? Surely they could just look at the Miss [Caribbean nation] representatives from the past half dozen international beauty pageants. Or they could have gone with Zoe Saldana or Thandie Newton. I just had a quick look on imdb.com and there are tons of much hotter black actresses, e.g. Selita Ebanks, Denise Vasi, April Betts, Bianca Lawson.
Thatâs quite a list you have there. Very conscientious research 
Freema Agyeman maybe?
Daniel craig had the best muscles. Pierce brosnan had the best hair. Sean connery was manliest.
There.
Well as far as black and beautiful is concerned, I canât stand Halle Berry either. I have no clue what makes her âhotâ except that she is extremely diabetic and has a small small small body for a black woman. I think men are like women too, they believe what mags and glossies and socialites tell them. 
Best JB movie ever? Itâs a tough call. The problem is that of course Connery was the best bond, but were the movies really that good? They were pretty goofy actually.
I think the best way is to do the best ones by actor first and then rate the overall movie.
Best Connery Bond films: Iâd say from Russia with Love, You Only Live Twice and Goldfinger. The first one is actually almost an intelligent movie at times.The interaction between Bond and Grant is actually not goofy at all. For Connery, the acting is quite good. You Only Live Twice is kind of like Golden Gun but with Connery. Goldfinger is great except too over the top. But still, it just works.
Lazenby: Pffft!
Moore: Live and Let Die and The Man with the Golden Gun: What a romp. Christopher Lee as Scaramanga is great, and I LOVE Mooreâs wardrobe. Itâs kind of like Van De Merwe wins the lottery. Solitaire is great, as is Yaphet Ono. Add crocs, the coolest movie motorboat chase in cinema, soul brothers, Solitaire, voodoo and Paul McCartney and woooweee!
Dalton: The Living Daylights: heâs a very good Bond, but looks too much like a human Wile Coyote.
Craig: Casino Royale: Probably the best, but on the shoulders of giants.
My pics: Top three: You Only Live Twice, Live and Let Die, and Casino Royale. They are the coolest, and if JB is not cool, what is he?
I think they were supposed to be. Moore understood that - he basically spent the whole of every movie just taking the piss, but he did it so well you didnât notice.
:roflmao: I knew he reminded me of someone! They should have included that line somewhere in one of the scripts.
Personally I think itâs the hair thatâs the problem. It has an existence all of its own.
It was the 80s. His hair was tame compared to a lot going around that decade.

Very insightful Big John 
, The only thing missing from your critique of LALD (and later Golden Gun) is a mention of Sheriff JW PepperâŚ
âYou picked the wrong parish to haul ass through boy. Nobody cuts and runs on Sheriff J.W Pepperâ
I like the tie in between Live and Let Die and The Man With the Golden Gun.
âA secret agent? On whose side?â
âYouâre that English secret agent, from England.â
Something like that. He was an awesome minor character.
âIf you pointy heads got our of your peeeeeee-jamas, you might not be late for work!â Classic line.

I forgot to mention JW, but didnât forget him! How could you?

Well said! Craig did have a pretty buff figure in CR, def the most muscular of the Bond actors. Brosnan was very handsome indeed (kinda gotten old by DAD though). To quote Blaquesmith, Connery IS Bond.
Slightly off topic, but ya know who Iâd loved to have seen carry the torch after Brosnan retired? Ewan McGregor. Smooth, handsome and is the ultimate professional when it comes to role dedication (a quick googling on his trainspotting photos youâll know what Iâm talking about).
Obi Wan? I donât think so.
Growing up watching Bond I guess I always liked the fact that Bond wasnât ridiculously muscled or super-hard (e.g. like Daniel Craigâs bond). Bond to me was always just cooler, more sophisticated, had better gadgets, was better with women & was more resourceful than the bad guys. This, rather than just being hard as nails always got him out of trouble.
This is something we can all aspire to, regardless of how likely it is to ever come true. 
Hence I always liked Connery or Roger Moore over later more action-man style bonds and to me why the bond films were better off being different to the Bourne films or the Arnie films etc.

OK, Chris Lee looked good, but he just played Chris Lee so that doesnât really count. And Iâm afraid I disagree about Samuel Jackson in that film.
Wasnât there a rumour somewhere that Idris Elba could be a future Bond? Or was that just someoneâs fantasy?
