I like A view to a kill and goldeneye. A view to a kill had that awsome fight on the top of the golden gate bridge. Goldeneye had crazy action that I have yet to see surpassed in another bond movie.

Worst bond song was the theme to "Diamonds are forever" ::shiver:: my God that was one crappy song. It wasn't even a song it was just words being read and changing the pitch of the words to make it sound like a song wtf. Its like, "Ok we're doing the theme song now, say 'diamonds are for', in a low pitch. then 'ever', in a high pitch, and we'll put crappy music in the background and make it a song"

Out of all the Bond movies I like DIE ANOTHER DAY the best so far. I was skeptical about seeing it at first as I missed "World Is Not Enough" due to my anit-Denise Richards stance and the fact I can't take her seriously as an actress much less a Bond chick. In close second it would be the George Lazenby one ON HER MAJESTY'S SERVICE. I liked the change in that one, but am not sure if it's considered apart of the "official" Bond timeline.

For worst song... I hated "Tomorrow Never Dies"

The best Bond film is The Spy Who Loved Me.

The worst Bond film is Diamonds Are Forever. Goldeneye is pretty bad (on reflection one has to wonder how the hell this film kick started the Bond revoloution). The World is Not Enough and Moonraker are also Bond films I'd reather not waste time watching.

The worst music? The World Is Not Enough, Octopussy (All Time High), Die Another Day...

Fravorite Bond Movie?

Goldfinger and Thunderball.

Least fravorite

The Man with the golden gun.

On the bright side with all that's going on in the world now bond finally has something interesting to do again.

Favorite bond movie: From Russia With Love

As for the songs, they all sound pretty much the same. The only memorable ones were Live and Let Die and A View to a Kill.

I have seen all of them except for Die Another Day and I consider myself a fan. The opening music usually has a woman singing a smaltzy cabaret tune. Some are better than others but they mostly follow the same style so picking a best and worst is silly.

agreed - great minds think alike

My favorite because:

soundtrack is great
one of the finest bond girls around
intro - jumping off a cliff with union flag parachute
lotus submarine
Jaws
the helicopter pilot that dies is fecking beautiful

but Moonraker is a very close 2nd

the worst are:

never say never again (albiet not a true bond franchise)
dr No
from russia with love
license to kill (licence revoked for the american members)

best song has got to be sheena easton 'for your eyes only' mainly because she was brought up about a mile from me and garbage

worst has gotta be madonna - pretty crap

but Die another day is quite an excellent bond movie

:p

So your a fan wonderful, Bond is a great series along with really good books...
Also what you are saying that Duran Duran, A-ha, Tom Jones, Matt Monro, Paul McCartney, and Louie Armstrong sound like Girls.
Come on how can you mistake Louie being a girl.
Cabret tunes? Lets see... We have, Ochrestrated music, rock, love tunes, I don't think Cabaret is even in there anywhere.

Fav Bond moive: The Spy Who Loved Me

Worst song: Goldeneye


Whoever likes new Bond movies should see what they have missed. Brosnan's series suck so much that I refuse to watch them altogether. Too much political correctness, lame supporting characters (M, R, Moneypenny, etc).

My favorite Bond movie is the one with Sean Connery where he's in Japan. I do not remember the name of the film however. Worst Bond song I'd vote is DIE ANOTHER DAY. But I don't like Madonna much, I think she had her time in the limelight and should retire gracefully. I'm sure the rest of the world doesn't agree with me though.

License Revoked was just a working title. The film was released in both the UK and USA as License To Kill.

It's YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE where Sean was in Japan. BTW, are you really station in Antartica? How would you get NG games?

I think Sean Connery is unanimously the best Bond, no question about it. While some despise Moore with great passion, I really dislike new ones by Brosnan, not because of Brosnan himself, but the poor acting of support characters, story lines, and political correctness of new films. These factors alone turn me off completely.

I really dont count that Casino Royal as a Bond film either. There were 2 Casino Royale movies. One of them was made by MGM was a spoof on the Bond films staring Peter Sellers, and David Niven released in 1967.
The other one put out by ABC in 1954 wich was the first real Bond film ever made. Starring Barry Nelson as Jimmy Bond and the villian was played by Peter Lorie.
