Dr No is the best

EvanW Level 2 June 26, 2018

Connery is first class in this classic..thanks.

Sean Connery IS James Bond! Daniel Craig, close second. Pierce Brosnan - handsome but not the right fit. Roger Moore -- too prissy. Everyone else, go home.
Best theme - Goldfinger. Full Stop.

September..my sentiments exactly....Peirce is to pretty... Connery and Shirley Bassey all the way!

While I do quite enjoy the exploits of Daniel Craig I have to say one of my favorite Bond movies of all time was. "You Only Live Twice".Sean Connery was the greatest. The theme song was done by Nancy Sinatra. "Skyfall" was a favorite if mine as well though the Theme sung by Adelle was masterfull,y done.

Yes..my favourites too. You only live twice..& Connery..love Sam Smith & Skyfall by Adele..still love Shirley Bassey.. cheers great choices..

Sean Connery - I liked Goldfinger theme

jacpod Level 8 June 15, 2018

IMO Sean Connery & Shirley Bassey are...and will forever be the definitive Bond cocktail, excellent choice madame..?

daniel Craig -hottest James Bond ever.

And which is your favourite movie and theme music?

@Hitchens Casino Royale. Sorry, pay no attention to them songs. Oh, yes,live and let Die, I remember that one.

@Spinliesel. Yes good movie, live and let die..which version McCartney original or Guns N Roses sex it up a little? You can change your mind..Shirley Bassey maybe?

@Hitchens Didn't Shirley bassey sing Goldfinger? Live and Let Die was Paul Mccartney?!

@Spinliesel. Sorry missed that..yes to both.
She sang Goldfinger, and McCartney sang live and let die.
But Guns 'n Roses did their own cover, which was generally very well received.

1

Connery
Live and Let Die

Popular choice that McCartney tune... I do like the guns n roses cover.

@Hitchens Me too.l also liked 'Nobody Does It Better' by C Simon. My favorite Bond movie is From Russia With Love. A little grittier than most Bond movies.

@Sticks48. Carly Simon, yes..great original voice, love her nothing stays the same song too (not sure of the correct song title)
Gritty it was...
Incidentally the song "From Russia with Love" is quite good actually.

Daniel Craig/Anything he's in. A love a jutting lower lip and a shirt sleeve pull.

GoldenDoll...hmm..good name for a Bond girl..or even a Bond Movie..?
So..could Tom Hardy rock your boat in the jutting lower lip..and the cuff adjusting department?

@Hitchens It's entirely possible. But he'd have to be standing on a chair for him to be the appropriate height. He's only about 4ft tall.......

@GoldenDoll He is an inch smaller than Craig but I suppose an inch can make all the difference.

@Hitchens You're not wrong. But don't tell me Craig is short! Why are all the gorgeous men short? I once had a 6ft 4 American basketball player boyfriend, but I had to end it because his shirt sleeve pulling was atrocious...

@GoldenDoll I'm 6f3" ?

@Hitchens Oh, unlucky.

Sean Connery is my favorite Bond and "The Living Daylights" by A-ha is my favorite Bond song.

Great song ..great video too.

Forgot to mention before that I find Daniel Craig a sullen humourless Bond and I wish he would move on. The last Bond movie he phoned in, in my opinion. Poor movie. Christophe W waisted talent, Monica B a Bond quickie, and a poorly edited effort. Another Craig Bond would be a mistake. They do that, let me make one too many. Roger M said that about his last. Connery too. I fear they will, but a mistake IMHO.

Excellent phrase.."PHONED IN" LOL..have't heard that one before.
Tell me David.. any ideas on who you would like to take over from Daniel Craig..anyone in mind?.. I did hear that Tom Hardy was being considered..

@Hitchens yeah, good question. I heard that about Hardy. He's a fine actor. There was talk about Tom Hiddleston as well. I think he was cool on it. I really don't know. It's a tough fill. Likely they will make one more with Craig, so the issue will be delayed now for several years.

@David1955

Yea.. I like Tom Hiddelston.. he was very good in the Night Porter.
I'm not entirely sure he would be right for the Bond role.. I just think he is not as masculine nor does he have the physical presence of Hardy..who I think would tick a lot of boxes as a potential replacement.

@Hitchens I would agree on all those points.

I think you don't like him because you'r a man. He just sticks his lower lip out and I'm jelly,

@Hitchens Obviously, you guys don't get him ( D.C.) and his smouldering sex appeal.

@Spinliesel Your "smouldering" is my "sullen and humorless" with respect to DC, but you're right, being a completely heterosexual male probably means I don't get him. On the other hand I get the appeal of Connery, and would like to have some that cool quality, but Mr Craig, er, no thanks.

You Only Live Twice, deathbed music.

1

Sean. You Only Live Twice.... (or so it seems. One for yourself and one for your dreams..)

Remember when Bond themes used to stay with you forever...
"And he strikes, like Thunderball.."
"You only live Twice"
"Goldfinger... He's man with the midus touch...
"The Spy who Loved me.."
"To LIve and Let Die.."

I remember the themes and lyrics in my head.

Anyone remember the theme from the last Bond, or the one before that...?
Yeah, I thought so. Me either.

To any female members who think Bond is a misogynist dinosaur, I agree with you.

I agree..but the last couple..you know ..Sam Smith..writings on the wall..and Adele's Skyfall were very cool IMO.
Women hate mysogynists but give him a pass I think..???

Themes; I watched an interview with Jimmy Page. At 19 he was in a session band called "the wrecking crew." When asked what tracks he remembered from this time. There were so many I don't remember most of them but Shirly Bassey on "Goldfinger" sticks in the mind because she fainted at the end of singing it."

I thought she was very sexy myself. Amazing lady..incredible voice..

1

Definitely Sean Connery but I think Daniel Craig has done a good job. I like him better each time I've seen him. Songs are tough. Of the older ones, Live and Let Die and the newer ones Skyfall.

Hi Bee, agree with you on both Bonds..Craig had to put his own stamp on it after a shaky start..

To be honest I like most of the songs.

Which actual movie did you like Most?

@Hitchens I hate having to pick favorites. Lol. I think I will just say that I prefer the newer ones. Even with Bronson. Primarily because of the action sequences and shiny new toys. ?

@BeeHappy Ha ha.. Ok you prefer up to date hardware and modern sexy mysogynists..

Everyone is saying Bronson but it's actually Brosnan.. I know this because he was born and raised down the road from here..Bronson is English and Brosnan is Irish..???

@Hitchens, I knew that but when I saw the others spelling it didn't register. I'm claiming a senior moment! Lol

@BeeHappy No need to claim anything..you are among friends here..? if I was Bond I'd have no choice but to put you over my knee! ?

@Hitchens oooh! (Hmmm, if I had known that was all I had to do to get put over someones knee... 😉 )

@BeeHappy Bee happy.. I think I'm going to insist you change your call sign to Me.Moneypenny....it just fits..oops! Touch of Bondesk naughty misogyny there..??

@Hitchens, hahaha! I almost mentioned her in my previous comment. This is fun! Lol

@BeeHappy ?

  1. Sean Connery — awful person though he is.

  2. Live and Let Die — in context only... Too crap and disjointed to listen to by itself.

Yes right on both counts IMO .. he is a shit apparently.

Regarding the song.. maybe the Guns n Roses version would probably be better to listen to off context..

1

Connery has always been my favorite but I think Daniel might be winning my heart. SPECTRE was an incredible movie and showed sides of the character unseen since Connery. Goldfinger is still the most chilling of songs but moved to #2 for movies.

Yes Daniel has made his mark after a slow start.. I love the Sam Smith song and the Adele song Skyfall too.

2

Connery is the best, I admit it. But the story behind Bronson makes him my favourite.

Song? So many good songs. But I'm going to have to go with Wings doing Live and Let Die.

Just don't ask me to pick a favourite movie. They're all awesome in their own way. Even the Dalton movies. OK, maybe not the Dalton movies. 😉

Ozman Level 7 June 7, 2018

I 100% agree about Connery, Peirce Brosnan was born and raised in the town I work in actually. Navan. I think all the movies are great in their own way... The music scores are also difficult to choose from. I suppose Goldfinger Shirley Bassey is one of my favourites though.
