Live and Let Die
Casino Royale

[sonnylarue]

Connery (But I can argue the virtues of every guy who's ever played Bond)
From Russia With Love
Thunderball (everytime I hear Tom Jones hit that final note, I bust a gut laughing)
Casino Royale

[wjm1138]

Sean Connery (cruel and suave)
Dr. No (the least gadgets! - just a geiger counter)
We Have All the Time in the World (ironic, and begins just as the Lazenby Bond goes clinically insane)
Dr. No (the only one I've read--Bond is not quite the cold-hearted bastard of the films--is "bastard" safe on these boards?)

[derrickfish]

Brosnan with Craig coming up fast
It's a fight between GOLDENEYE and CASINO ROYALE
Honestly, It TOO is a fight between GOLDENEYE and Royale's YOU KNOW MY NAME
Annnnd I've never read any of the books, but I DO love my trade of the comic strips of Her Majesty's Secret Service

[sonnylarue]

We Have All the Time in the World

sadly ironic in many ways, given it's the last song louis armstrong recorded

[sonnylarue]

but I DO love my trade of the comic strips of Her Majesty's Secret Service

Hey Derrick!

The titan bond trades are absolutley worth buying!

[Jurassicalien]

Okay, in people's mind, is it worth buying the James Bond DVD set? Are they're more bad then good films? I've only seen a handful honestly (all the connery, brosnan, and now craig) and some were good, some bad, so what do you guys think? Get it? or just buy individually?

[NickT]

Moore
Spy Who Loved Me
Nobody Does it Better
Not read any fully

i bought films individually, but that was before they issued the most recent sets.

what i like most about the dvds are the tons of bonus features, including good commentaries, and the excellent multi-part bond history docus narrated by patrick macnee .

on the newer dvds, roger moore has done commentaries for many of his films

[kubrick1978]

Sean Connery
From Russia with Love
Live and Let Die
Casino Royale (Which is the only one I have read. any recommendations to which on to read next?)

[The Funketeer]

Connery. As good as Craig has proven to be, Connery is just too iconic for anyone to steal the crown

Goldfinger

Live and Let Die but I'm digging The Quantum of Solace theme pretty hard

Never read any of the books.

[Stupendous Man]

Sean Connery, Daniel Craig is awesome though.

Goldfinger

You Know My Name

I haven't raid any of the books yet.

[NeverWanderer]

Daniel Craig - Connery may be the icon, and Brosnan is the one I grew up with, but Craig makes me actually give a shit about Bond in a way I never did before.

Casino Royale - Golden Eye is great, but it drags in places, Die Another Day is great in a crazy silver age superhero Bond way -- pure fun, but Casino Royale manages to be both exciting AND a damn good movie all in one, with very little of the trademark Bond film cheese.

Die Another Day - yeah, I fuckin' said it. The way that song, the story, and the "Bond Girls" intro came together at the beginning of that movie has cemented it as the most unique and interesting Bond opening I've ever seen. I can even forgive that lame-ass "Sigmund Frued, analyze this" line. Just a very well-mixed song. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umzSyqHSJxI )

Haven't read any of the books. Though, after hearing that they're played straighter than a lot of the movies, I'm very interested in picking them up.
