I have to go with Roger, he is what I saw when I was young.

I agree, when I think of James Bond, I think of Roger, it must be an age thing...

I agree because I know that Connery is probably the best, Brosnan is by far my favorite.

Interesting. I've heard this before. I also heard Connery, in "The Rock" was written as an old Bond, gracefully aged but still having his killer instincts, despite being imprisoned.

+1 on that

Connery and Craig you can actually believe possessed a "License to Kill". The others, no.

1 Sean Connery
2 Roger Moore
3 Brosnan


Daniel Craig was good in his first one.

It was hard to accept the first change to Roger and i think that jades many people's views. If you can get over that, he was nearly as good as SC. The movie plot lines has a lot to do with it, of course.

Connery and Craig are at the top of my list.

No no no no no no...he was a far better 'James Bond' than SC...not a better actor, not a better 'action hero'..

Read Flemming's book and then see the films in that context.....

Bond was 'English'...he was not a Scot... he was a 'lazy', sarcastic, supercilious SOB...and Roger encapsulates this best...an English Public School Boy...

SC is a better actor and action hero...

I sort of grew up with Rog but he's simply too smooth and not convincingly killer if you know what I mean.

1st.. Connery
2nd.. Craig
3rd.. Lazenby (No I'm not kidding, given another couple of films he would have been great)
4th.. Dalton

I agree to a point. He WAS the best. Just saw the new one Friday night and watched Casino Royale last night again. I have to say I like that the 'new' Bond is a bit darker. But the new movies go a bit over board on the special effects.
