    Maybe it's a generational thing, but Roger Moore is the best James Bond, IMO.

    The first movie I ever went to was Moonracker. I really liked Jaws in that.

    I'm just glad to have survived the Pierce Brosnan phase. Those were difficult to watch.

    I also prefer Shimano to Campagnolo.

    Yeah, I remember seeing that movie and being blown away by how awesome the special effects were. Then I watched a bit of it a few years ago and was blown away by how terrible the effects were.
    I also saw Clash of the Titans in the theater with my dad and brothers. My dad wanted to see Raiders of the Lost Ark, but we convinced him otherwise. We all thought Clash was badass, but he knew it was garbage, and seemed a little pissed about it.

    I was watching the 4th installement of the Raiders of the Arc series on TV the other day. I was dumbfounded to see that the special effects were worse than they were in 1980. Everything looked completely fake. I think computer-generated special effects have made the sequals to movies like Star Wars, Raiders of the lost Arc and other look worse rather than better. You know when you're seeing it. Also, you can't make computer generated action heros. It doesn't work. The Hulk was horrible.

    Interesting you guys feel that way. I always thought Moore was smarmy, doughy and feminine. As a result his movies became almost parodies with a TV movie kind of feel.

    Daniel Craig's intensity has revived the genre and the Blu-Rays are reference quality. BTW, Skyfall was to be released this year and still might subject to MGM's financial problems.

    There was a movie named 11:14. One of Patrick Swayze's last movies. It was actually pretty good. It's one of those movies where there are all these separate characters and events that all lead up to the same big event.

    Can't agree with that. Craig's Bond seems like a classless oaf. 007 is supposed to be a refined Englishman, not some soccer hooligan. And let's face it, there are really only 2 types of Englishmen. Poofters and soccer hooligans. Bond was/should be a poofter.

    Sean Connery was the best bond and Craig is second best. Roger Moore looks like a waiter at a french restaurant. Moonraker, however, was indeed a great movie at the time. The Jaws character is great and the opening scene where they jump out of a plane was amazing. Another great scene in that movie is the boat chase in the Amazon.

    Yes, Bruno would have to be tethered, gagged and plugged with a bowling pin, like at home. Len would complain about Moore's stiffness in about the only setting where he wouldn't love it.

    Noone could possibly ever touch Connery, it's why Moore parodied the role. But the really interesting thing about the series of morphing Bond characters is how they've tended to represent what men would aspire to be at the time.

    Connery helped usher in the sexual revolution with no fear, regrets or awkwardness, only a cool which pushed the definition of cool. Moore was the post 60-s unisex father figure. Maturity was an attribute at that time. Brosnan had no arms, they were like string, I can't explain him.

    Craig is angry because he got screwed out of s.hit so is going out, kicking ass and shooting people whether he needs to or not. That's what American guys relate to today.

    Gun sales in this country are at the moment skyrocketing. Many of the most popular weapons aren't available for inventory and some manufacturers have announced they won't be taking any more orders during 2012. Americans want a Bond today who'll fire his weapon like they would if they could.

    But Connery was a gibbering Scotsman FFS. Chicks seem to love him but he's a totally overrated actor in my book. And how can you rate any bloke that is comfortable wearing a skirt?

    When my son was two years old, the only way to get him to go to sleep at night was to sit with him and watch one of two Disney movies we had on tape. [I]Dumbo[/I or [I]Darby O'Gill and the Little People[/I]]. The latter starred Sean Connery when he looked to be in his early 20's. A song-and-dance man with a single digit 'cap.

    You guys are forgetting George Lazenby. Only one movie but arguably the best of the franchise. If you read the books Bond is a mysoginistic mans man and Lazenby fits the bill perfectly.

    Agreed. And what made it even worse was the fact that the group A-ha! sang the opening song. I think Duran Duran did the next one.

    I always thought they should have had Mel Gibson play James Bond back in the late 80's, early 90's. Not now, of course.

    This is INDEED true. Connery is the best James Bond and he also is Scottish and loves Golf, so that places him way past Roger Moore who is a Limey.

    I think Mel Gibson is a great actor and director. I love all of his movies. I even liked Apocolypto. Of course, he will always be held high in my sight because of his making of Braveheart. I don't care if it is not entirely true, the movie makes me damn proud to be Scottish, just like the movie The Quiet Man makes me damn proud to be Irish.

    As a bit of personal insight and self confession, whenever he narrates at the end of the story and tells about the starved sons of Scotland entering the Battle and winning their freedom, I weep uncontrollably like a woman. I am comfortable in my manhood, so I have no problems telling you all this.
