Rank your favorite Bond, both actor and movie.
I've started a marathon recently and am once again amazed how extremely kino Sean Connery's Bond is and cemented in my belief that the best Bond is From Russia with Love.
BONUS: rank the funniest Bond death. I just saw blaxploitation-Bond of 1973, Live and Let Die, and the villain, Kananga, dies after Bond stuffs a small gas canister into his mouth and sets it off, leading Kananga to inflate like a balloon and explode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JetaIVyl6zs

Best actor- Connery, and it's not even close
Top three movies are Casino Royale (2006), Dr No, and Thunderball.
Connery > Craig > Brosnan > Dalton > Lazenby > Moore
1. Casino Royale
2. Goldfinger
3. Skyfall
4. Goldeneye
5. From Russia With Love
Goldfinger is my least favorite 60s Bond movie. The beginning is great but the ending is terrible.
Absolute homosexual tier
Skyfall is a reverse pleb filter.
If you like it you are certified moron.
>Everyone Sucks at Their Job: The Motion Picture
>Moore last
>Skyfall third
Holy homosexuality.
Dalton is the closest to how Bond was in the books. Connery is too much of a suave gentleman, Craig is too much of a thug, Moore was literally a clown in campy comedy films
Brosnan has a special place in my heart. Has a bit of the same boyish charm that Connery was the absolute master of (the reason Connery is the best), that Craig and Moore completely lack.
Anyone else had their innocent sexuality irreparably molded by Famke Janssens powerful thighs? Fricking hell that face man, straight outta the Ecstacy of Saint Teresa.
One can even wonder if it were those powerful thighs that turned him into the architect, awoke the desire in him to be crushed by massive force.
I agree that Brosnan is second best to Connery. He could do the boyish charm fairly well but definitely not as well as Connery. I always felt that Connery's Bond had more in common with Bugs Bunny than any other archetypical character.
homosexuals always shitting on Moore
I just think he is waaay too stiff and aristocratic, and suffers from the movies being too campy.
homosexuals always fellating Moore.
Not only was his interpretation of Bond boring and monotonous, the movies themselves were all pretty shit. Even the "good ones." They were bad comedies with even worse action. The Connery films blow Moore out of the water. Even OHMSS.
>rank the funniest Bond death
Shit gave me nightmares as a kid but now it is pure funhouse kino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lLuwinpQr4
I was 16 when I saw it and it caught me off guard
Funnily enough they start great then have gotten worse then from Goldeneye to NTTD is meh to awful.
Nothing against PB or DC but the films just aren't well written.
Without a cold war there's not much for Bond to do
You will never have this.
I was laughing my ass off when he asked her where she wanted to go, and all she said was somewhere with a bed (to get fricked in).
Spirited woman.
He took her V
Daniel Craig is the best. He once acted in a movie with Sarah Gadon.
Connery
FRWL, TSWLM, GE
I just watched You Only Live Twice, the one where Bond goes to Japan, for the first time since I was a kid and holy shit was it great. The first words out of Bond's mouth was:
>Why do Chinese girls taste different from every other girl?
I nearly pissed myself laughing when Sean Connery got "plastic surgery" to make himself look asian, which was mostly just wearing a bowl cut shaped wig. It was like the surgery scene from Team America.
It was also clear that it was the film that Austin Powers borrowed so much from. Blofeld, the military base, the little monorail, the piranha pool, Blofeld having a special foot pedal that dumps his henchmen to their death. I can just imagine Mike Meyers watching this film with a notepad and writing down all the things his spoof needs.
Lewis Gilbert's filmography is a small.lists on British heroics. Sink the Bismarck! and TSWLM go together as a double bill.
It is absolutely perfect, the eyebrows too, and then he trains for three days to become a ninja. This movie just does not give a frick and it is pure kino.
Literally Batman. Batman Ninja before it was cool.
I've heard of fetishizing Japan, but even the biggest weeaboo from /jp/ would watch that film and think "geez guys, tone it down a bit, onegai shimasu."
I also liked how Bond actually got married to a Japanese waifu and then she dies their very first night together.
the best part about the chopper battle was that it just played the Bond theme. The old fashioned, jazzy theme with the bass and a brass band. It reminded me of when they did the same thing with the tank chase in Goldeneye. It made me wish the new Bond films would do that.
I think the chopper battle is when they make the theme into the big set piece theme, it's a bit funny because before they started doing that they use it when he's just doing normal shit like checking into his hotel.
Don't forget the chopper battle.
My favorite Bond is Brosnan. But I admit Connery is the best one
My favorite Brosnan film is Goldeneye but I do think The World is Not Enough is extremely underrated and a top 5 bond film
Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough were all kino.
Yes. I also find die another day underrated
They just added a handful to HBO Max, just in time for me to want to rewatch GoldenEye after playing the re-release of the game (seems planned).
Gonna watch The Living Daylights next because I liked it as a kid, but what if the other ones available on HBO should I watch?
Ooooo oeeeeee aaaaooo
LIVING
DAYLIGHTS
Yes.
>but what if the other ones available on HBO should I watch?
What others are on there?
Off the top of my head:
>Dr. No
>Thunderball
>You Only Live Twice
>Octopussy
>Moonraker
And maybe a couple more. And the first two Craig ones and Tomorrow Never Dies, which I've already all seen and don't care for.
Oh, and they have Diamonds are Forever and The Man with the Golden Gun.
TMWTGG is camp kino.
>Diamonds are Forever
Oh you know what? I actually own the book, maybe I should read that as soon as I can and then watch the movie, that might be an interesting experience.
There are definitely differences but some of the similarities are kinda funny.
I didnt like the book for it as much as live and let die and moonraker but it was fun nonetheless
Both extremely underrated
Dimaonds are Forever is not great. It is literally carried by Connery. It has its moments though and if you like connery, watch it. Man with the golden gun is my favorite Moore film. Definetly worth watching
That's two votes for Golden Gun, I might try that. I don't have any affection for Connery so it's not a draw for me. Timothy Dalton and Brosnan are the quintessential Bonds to me
test
Brosnan > Moore > Connery = Dalton > Craig > Lazanby

>that low
Filtered
>Quantum of Solace that high
What is it you see in it? I easily think it is one of the worst ever, definitely worse than Spectre.
Not him but I stopped at Quantum. Thought the evil plot was kinda lame (if not ingenious), and the whole realistic Bond shit is boring. Should I watch the other three?
It's more of the same mostly, with realistic Bond that has PTSD. I found the conclusion in No Time To Die pretty satisfying, but Craig's really isn't my favorite Bond era. Read an interview with him where he said they had to take it in the realistic direction because Mike Myers and Austin Powers "fricked them", Craig's own words - any lulzy shit after the Austin Powers spoof couldn't be done when it had already been lampooned.
Cool, thanks for the bump my man.

I heard about that interview, lol. He said he would have loved to parachute with the British flag in proud display like Roger Moore did. Craig is kinda based.

I don't watch james bond movies because I'm not a child
Top Five Films:
Goldeneye > From Russia with Love > Moonraker > Live and Let Die > The Spy Who Loved Me
Ranking the Bonds:
Moore > Brosnan > Connery > Dalton > Lazenby
There's something special about Moore's performance. He seemed relaxed in his role. If a Bond existed, I'd want him to have Moore's personality.
He really has an aristocratic air of effortless superiority about him.
For me? Dalton.
Favourite film is still Goldeneye though I admit it's been a long time since I've seen many of the other films much less marathoned them.
