Best Bond - George Lazenby closest to Fleming Novel character

Worst Bond - Daniel Craig - terribly miscasted. Does not appears to have the on screen comfort to make love to a woman or the ability to explain the Manichaean concept of Bond like Connery, Moore, or Lazenby.

Best Bond Girl - It is really hard to compare women across 50 years, I still think at her age at the time, Eunice Gayson was probably one of the most beautiful in a Bond film.

Best Bond Movie - On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
Worst Bond Movie - Die Another Day (QoS and Skyfall not really Bond movies).

Best Score - John Barry’s OHMSS
Worst Score - Dave Arnold’s Die Another Day

Mehhh. Daniel Craig is one of favorite Bonds. Roger Moore is the worst for me.

Oh PUHLEEEEZ! Are you kidding me? There is a reason that Lazenby only did one bond film and even Timothy Dalton did two: Lazenby was awful. A cardboard cutout of Daniel Craig can emote better than Lazenby.

Having read a few of the Fleming novels and short stories, I would say that Dalton was much closer to the Fleming character than Lazenby, while Daniel Craig flat nails it.

Connery set the standard for Bond actors; none of the other Bond actors met that standard until Craig surpassed it.

I thought I was the only OHMSS fan. The movie doesn’t appear dated even now. Great musical themes.

Diana Rigg had a lot to do with it, too.

Best Bond girl..The girl in QOS.Olya Kurylenko,she actually got to fight and shoot instead of just saying James,James,James.

Just saw the extended Heineken commercial featuring Daniel and Bérénice yesterday (at Landmark E Street Cinema while waiting for “Hitchcock” to start) and I must say that I saw more action from Bond in those 2 minutes than I did in all of “Skyfall”.......
