I did know that Monty. Fleming wanted him because Lee served in the SOE during the war.
Cubby Broccolli was teh man who wanted Connery. My favourite Bond, however, is Dalton.

Pierce Brosnan started off pretty good.
But rapidly turned shit I thought.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Fri 3 Jun 2011, 10:01, Reply)

He got too old, too quickly.
Plus his franchise was after Brocolli died and it all went comic-book action.
( Kroney, Fri 3 Jun 2011, 10:03, Reply)

He was up for the role at the same time as Dalton
That might have been a better time for him to start. But then we wouldn't have had Dalton and, whilst he's not my favourite Bond, I think he was very good in the role. Licence To Kill is one of my favourite Bond films.

He felt he was too young for it, he had a point I reckon.
I actually prefer The Living Daylights. Best Bond film in the series, so there.

I think OHMSS is the best Bond film in the series
It's just a shame they had the wrong person playing Bond

It's in my top three.

Live and Let Die is the best Bond film.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 3 Jun 2011, 10:14, Reply)

I quite like The Spy Who Loved Me
Mainly for the underwater Lotus and massive fight at the end

Fact!

Quite so.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 3 Jun 2011, 10:17, Reply)

I think George Lazenby was a very good bond
I wish he had done more films
( Peej, Fri 3 Jun 2011, 10:16, Reply)

Your opinion, if that is indeed your opinion, is incorrect.
It's the second best.

What's with all the Connery fanboyism, anyway? He's not the worst, Moore sails into that position, but he's definitely not the best.

Connery is awesome purely for "Ah! Named after your father?"
when introduced to Plenty O'Toole.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 3 Jun 2011, 10:06, Reply)

I think he's brilliant.
He's closest to my idea of Bond. Fuck knows what Fleming's idea was. Apparently he thought Bond should look like Sauron.
( Kroney, Fri 3 Jun 2011, 10:07, Reply)

Actually, that Daniel Craig chap
is closest to Fleming's Bond.

Another actor that plays the same character in most of his films.
Weaving, Connery and Bean ought to start a club.

Dalton, like Alec Baldwin, should have gone into comedic acting a long time ago.
