I will say I think best line delivery every should go to Connery in Never Say Never Again

Fatima Blush: You know that making love to Fatima was the greatest pleasure of your life.

James Bond: Well, to be perfectly honest, there was this girl in Philadelphia...

Best line of the movie....final scene....Bond is on top of Dr. Goodhead under the sheets inside the shuttle....M asks Q what's Bond doing? Q replies it appears he's attempting re-entry....pretty risque for 1979!

Well that's the thing it wasn't that risqué considering this was straight forward 'Carry On' material, and they had been doing that style of joke for years. By then Bond was just a big joke, and it sat curiously amougst some great stunts and outlandish ideas. Quite a confussing time for Bond films in my view, and as this was sort of my era when I discovered him, I never really got into the character.

Since Austin Powers, Bond was even harder to take seriously, and as such I wonder if the reasons why Casino Royale and indeed Daniel Craig are so different to previous Bonds, is to perhaps try and distance themselves from the parodies that Bond had fashioned.

To each their own though - I can fully see why people vary on their likes and dislikes of the Bond films, and hey if you enjoy them for what they are then so much the better. It obviously isn't meant to be taken seriously, and coming from a guy who thinks the greatest secret agent is actually Danger Mouse, then maybe I'm at risk of doing just that.

That was my single favourite until Goldeneye & Tomorrow Never Dies; now it's a three way tie.

If they wanted to do the reboot after WORLD, I would have gotten it, but not after DIE ANOTHER DAY which was highly entertaining.

Surprisingly, I found DAD to be sorta preposterous, & found TWINE highly entertaining...diff'rnt strokes, I guess.

No a favourite Bond movie of mine, but it IS filled with many memorable moments, like when he kills that assassin with his pee...

Roger Moore was a great Saint, but a doofy Bond IMO.

Which is why flicks like From Russia With Love & Casino Royale get too close to being real- Bond is an adult comic book, to try to make a 'serious' Bond movie defeats the purpose.
But then, too silly is a problem too; I like a laugh here & there, but I don't want my intelligence insulted.

I'm willing to buy a car with a cloaking device and gene therapy more than Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist and an incredibly uneven tone and pace.
