Supposedly, she's one of the 'most beautiful' worldwide stars...we'll have to see about that!

Clive, Smive. There will always be only ONE James Bond:

My choice

The thing about Connery was the sense that, underneath the suave veneer, he was a roughneck from the wrong side of the tracks. I can't remember which movie it is, but in one of them there's a scene at HQ where he sort of shows off his knowledge of wine, and M is a little embarrassed by him.
The problem with Moore, Dalton and Brosnan is that they always seemed to patrician for the actual job. On the other hand, I think that Brosnan in "The Tailor of Panama" is a great look at what James Bond would actually be in the real world--a scummy little extortionist and con man who thinks he's smarter and more charming than he really is.

Sam Neill would have been good too, but he was involved in JP series still.

Back to the basics.
Incidentally, my favorite Bond was George Lazenby. He was the most physical Bond; when he threw a punch, it looked real
To: Bloody Sam Roberts
The other finalists are supposedly Victoria Silverstedt, Holly Valance and some UK singer named 'Jamelia'
To: John Lenin
Nah, Val Kilmer is too pretty for Bond. No one reads the books anymore, but Connery was the only one who really fit Flemming's description of Bond.

I agree with your comments. I enjoy the movies where the spys are more human, as well as the Bond flicks. It's amazing that the characteristics of the actor are more important that the acting skill itself. Connery had it, whatever it is. I saw Croupier and I thik Clive will do justice to the next three or four flicks. Have we passed Tarzan and the others yet for longest series?

Victoria Silvstedt? Only if Bond went undercover (hee!) in a brothel.

I thought Lazenby was too stiff, physical yes, but not enough of the Bond mischief. Of course I'd be stiff to if I was in the movie with Diana Rigg LOL!

I quit going to Bond movies after Roger Moore. The new Bonds keep getting wimpier and wimpier. I'm waiting for the "bond guy" to replace the bond girl ...
To: Heyworth
IIRC, the scene where Bond is commenting on the particular brandy they were drinking was in Goldfinger.

Remember, there's room for more than 1 Bond girl per flick.
