Roger Moore with his dead pan, throwaway delivery is the best 007 imho - Brosnan is my least favourite in the role.

Far and away the best Bond villain is the 7 feet tall, steel toothed Jaws.

Craig's Casino Royale is the best 007 film since A View to A Kill but I generally prefer the old Bond films.

My top 5 Bond movies are:-

1. Live and Let Die
2. For Your Eyes Only
3. The Man with a Golden Gun
4. Moonraker
5. The Spy Who Loved Me

I always thought Live And Let Die was quite a bore...

Only eight participants so far. I don't think this will work out.

Nooooooo, it was great.

It had Tee Hee with his metal arm - one of the best ever Bond villains; it had the famous scene where 007 has to use the snapping mouths of the gators as stepping stones to make his way to safety and then there were all those hilarious scenes with the 'red neck' sheriff and the speed boat chase sequence.

It was NEVER boring.

I don't think it makes any sense to do this poll with only eight participants. To be blunt, I'm a bit disappointed. I mean...eight people who are really interested in James Bond movies on a film forum with at least 50 more or less active members...seriously?
Just post whatever you want on this thread (as long as it is at least remotely connected with James Bond).

Greetings!

To be honest, I'd find it difficult to post a ranking. Not being a massive Bond fan, I have only seen some of the films once or twice and my memory of some of them is very fuzzy.

I'd agree with the ones rating OHMSS near the top, though.

It's always going to be the case: the reviews club, polls, favourite horror film threads etc. people are only going to post in the threads they feel like posting in. I hope more people post in justin's '70s horror poll thread, though *end of shameless promotion*

Prince, hang on in there, no need to get upset, how about making the deadline a bit longer or have you just done that? It's only been 9 days.

When JiraffeJustin did the polls he left about six weeks, I'm not saying you need that long just it does take time, I don't think he had loads of responses either but everyone that did it enjoyed taking part as I'm sure you know! Plus he created a very interesting list.
I'm just thinking about my list now and was fully intending to take part, I'm sure there might be others too that are still thinking about it. As long as you get ten responses it will be worthwhile, some people might be holding back until they have their list.
