James Bond

How many Bond fans do we have here? I've been watching them since I was about 4 and too young to understand them. But to this day, when they're on, I watch.

The recent ones have gone a bit overboard with the special effects and a LOT UNDERboard with characters, and I don't care for them as much.

But on the whole, I admit to being a Bond junky. To me, they have a high rewatchability factor. (Goldfinger will forever be my favorite though)

Anyone else?

I'm a big Bond fan. I have Dr. No, Goldfinger, and Thunderball on VHS. I still need a few to complete the Sean Connery collection. Connery is my favorite Bond and Goldfinger is my favorite movie. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

I'm a Bond fan but they've certainly lost something lately. I find that a big part of it is that the cold war, Russians are bad, Iron Curtain situation is gone, which takes away from the whole tone of the movies. Now it's all about madmen, and that's not as exciting. Of course, a lot of that probably just has to do with me not being young and impressionable anymore.

When I first became a Bond fan I strongly preferred Roger Moore, but now I see that a lot of his films were way too campy. The Man With the Golden Gun may be the worst Bond film ever, but having said that I think that For Your Eyes Only is my favorite.

But now I prefer the Connery films. Goldfinger is a classic, and even Diamonds are Forever, which is pretty campy itself, has become a favorite.

Octipussy was on last night.

Bond is cool. Connery was the best, but the others aren't too shabby either.

I love Bond. Why wife hates him. When TBS does the 2 weeks of Bond. I just start grunting. He is everything everyman wants to be. He drives cool cars, has cool toys, gets to kill anyone he wants, and has sex with women named Goodnight and Octopussy.
My favorite is Live and Let Die, but I do prefer the Connery collection of movies overall.

Wonder when Astrobond is going to chime in?

I wasn't a big fan of the Sean Connery ones originally, but ever since I saw him in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" I've really been a fan of his work. The first Bond movie I saw was "The Spy Who Loved Me", but HBO was kind enough to run all of the Bond movies except two when we first got it ("Live And Let Die" and "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" were the two they didn't show) so I got to see almost all of the ones that existed at that time - I think they did it like one or two a month. Back then, favourites were probably "You Only Live Twice" and "Spy Who Loved Me" - don't know which ones they would be now. Still haven't seen "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", though.

I love most Bond movies but I'm more of a fan of the Roger Moore era James Bond shit. My favorites are "The Man with the Golden Gun", "Moonraker" and "A View to a Kill." Great movies..

**SactoFan** · 08.05.01, 04:11 PM

By far the greatest Bond was George Lazenby... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Love the Connery stuff...didn't care for Moore or Timothy Dalton...

Brosnan is good, but they've given him crap films to work in...

**Rick S** · 08.05.01, 08:48 PM

how can you not like moore? thats my man! he s the funky 70 s suave bond ! i grew up on him so he s my favorite. i dont really like the other bonds. roger always was wearing that fly white suit with the black butterfly collar. to damn cool. my favorites are live and let die,the spy who loved me,and moonraker.

connery is the dog!!!
i liked goldfinger the best, but i have many films to see before i call myself a bond junkie.
i do like the ones i've seen though.
