I prefer the movies over the books. And Roger Moore was the best Bond of them all.

Man after my own heart.

Now you've done it Mike!

You opened up Pandora's box, the ultimate can of worms. You might as well as start a "which oil is best" thread.

OK I'll bite. IMO the best Bond was Connery. To me, he most closely resembled Fleming's vision of 007. 007 is a charming womanizer but also a cold blooded killer. I think Connery portrayed both sides of that very well. Roger Moore always seemed too soft for me. Too much of the British Gentleman side.

Regardless, great series of books and movies.

I am partial to Connery Bond as well..... I mean this are quite cool...

Although I am interested to see how Daniel Craig Does in his second outing as 007. I thought he did an excellent job in gambling.

I agree. Connery was the best Bond. He was the sexiest- his replacements were too self conscious and male modelly IMO.

LOL! Especially that tall, svelte, handsome "mannequin" from Ireland.
