Who is your favorite James Bond?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

And secondarily, why did Ian Fleming think that martinis should be shaken, when bartenders seem to universally say that stirred is the way to go?

And while Peter Sellers and Woody Allen both use the 007 identity in the Casino Royale comedy, only David Niven is playing the actual James Bond in that film.

Once again, pick three choices.

Moore. Mostly because that's the Bond I grew up watching with my dad. Dalton was also very good, though.

I just introduced my 17-year-old to Daniel Craig’s Bond. I have fond nostalgic memories of older Bond movies, but I prefer Craig’s grittier, less campy version.

 

[Nikosandros]

Sean Connery. The one and only.

Roger Moore. Bond is such an absurd and wacky concept that anyone who plays it straight fails and his approach seems to fit best. The Daniel Craig ones are the worst.

Daniel Craig. The Roger Moore ones are the worst.

Connery is my fav Bond but I really liked the Craig era

 

[AnotherGuy]

I really really like Dalton (he was the Daniel Craig before Daniel Craig);
Pierce is smooth, smoother than Roger Moore who was ridiculous; and
And Connery is just iconic!

 

[HaroldTheHobbit]

Dalton. Just Dalton.

I say Connery is the most iconic and classic, because he played golf with Goldfinger and caught him cheating.

The most enjoyable films though were the new Craig ones. The most quoted though...
