I knew those alligators were going to get him eventually.

He was my favorite Bond, maybe because he was Bond when I was growing up so I associate him with it. I think Live And Let Die was my favorite Bond movie. And the song Live And Let Die was my favorite Bond song. And I haven't done an official survey but if Jane Seymour isn't my favorite Bond babe she's not far off.

Connery was tops! Craig, whom I thought was a horrible choice, has won me over.

I agree on Connery. I have liked Craig in the newer movies. Moore ranks highly with me too. I think it's the nostalgic feel of his portrayal. He was the first Bond I saw in a movie. Just like I don't like Wham!, but the songs remind me that I was young once.

I agree with you. Sean was the best. I also like Craig. I never like Moore for some reason. He didn't seem athletic enough to me. Strangely, I watched a very old western on TV and Roger Moore played Maverick. I never knew he played that role.

He was in his 60's playing the role so he was miscast for an agent.

I've got a mancrush on Daniel Craig. I think the movies and he specifically have supplanted Connery.

I'd rank it:
Craig
Connery
Moore
Lazenby


Way down the list:
Dalton
Brosnan

Brosnan wasn't THAT bad. And no way is Craig above Connery.....but he does make it closer than I thought he couldve

Brosnan's Bond movies were that bad, hell they were worse. I don't necessarily blame him, the story was just ****. I like Brosnan in some other films. Love the Thomas Crowne affair but that might have been due to Rene Russo. She is in my list.

Craig's storylines, acting, and supporting casts were better. Due to the time difference, and enhancements in cinematography, I acknowledge that likely had something to do with it.

We agree on something, imagine that.

Brosnan just looks like a ***** to me. Worst James Bond ever. Not masculine at all. Daniel Craig put the work in to get in shape; he looks like a bad ***.
