It’s the kind of movie “best” lists were made for, and over the years it’s been on plenty of them: Best Movie Quote, Best Song, Best Villain, Most Thrills. It boasts both the most famous car in movie history and what novelist Anthony Horowitz once called “perhaps the most bizarre murder in literature.” It spawned both 1964’s best-selling toy among tots and that year’s “sexiest man alive” among adults. It remains the most beloved entry in the single most profitable cinematic series of all time — adjusted for inflation, the movie cost only twenty-four-million dollars to make, yet brought in an epochal 853 million at the box office.

Sir Roger Moore

Never drove an Aston Martin in a Bond film
But he did in another movie

He is a Brit - like Sir Sean Connery
He got lots of attention for the UK - like Sir Sean Connery
He did not commit suicide after playing “THE SAINT” like George Saunders did

So they knight their British, Scottish or Welsh actors for being actors? Not an earth moving accomplishment, lol. Moore certainly wasn’t a ‘top’ actor in my mind.

Moore had a very long a varied career
As did Connery
The 007 films are the most sucessful and popular series ever made
As are many of the Bond movie theme songs

Was Ian Flemming Knighted? The Bond series and books were outstanding but none of the actors were in the whole series.
Yes, some of the songs are great.

Fleming knighted? Don’t think so -
He died early
007 films:
1963 - next!
