    Some of you may know that the James Bond Franchise is being rebooted with the new film "Casino Royale". Of course 007 is our favorite Scottish Secret Agent (Ian Flemming made the literary Bond a Scot after Sean Connery started playing him on film). I was wondering if there were other Bond fans out there and if so here are some questions for you.

    Your favorite Bond (and why):

    Your Three Favorite James Bond films:

    Your least favorite Bond Film:

    Favorite villian:

    Favorite Bond Girl:

    Favorite Bond Song:

    Worst Bond Movie Theme Song:

    Bonus Question Favorite Quote:

    Your favorite Bond (and why): Timothy Dalton (Most like Bond in the Books)

    Your Three Favorite James Bond films:

    You Only Live Twice
    For Your Eyes Only
    The Living Daylights


    Your least favorite Bond Film: License to Kill (Or what would happen if James Bond wanders into a Charles Bronson Revenge Movie :confused: )

    Favorite Bond Girl: Jane Seymour "Solitaire" (Because she is so lovely!)

    Favorite Bond Villain: Kristatos ("For Your Eyes Only")

    Favorite Bond Song: You Only Live Twice

    Worst Bond Movie song: Man with the Golden Gun ("He's got a powerful weapon. He charges a million a shot. An assassin whose second to none...the MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN! )

    Bonus Question Favorite Quote: "Whoever she was I scared the Living Daylights out of her"

    I'll second this one. I'd read all of the books before watching the films, and Dalton was definitely closer than the others.

    I did not enjoy Lazenby at all.

    Bond

    (Ian Flemming made the literary Bond a Scot after Sean Connery started playing him on film).
    Fleming reportedly based Bond on a Scot, Panache -- General Sir Fitzroy Maclean, who served as a liason to Tito's partisans in Yugoslavia, although there are several candidates, including Fleming himself, who was involved in clandestine ops in WWII:

    Favorite villian: Odd - Job He had great lines..

    I like Roger Moore (though he was the Saint in Bond clothing) and Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton did a great job, but was not what the public expected.

    Very much a personal thing but my favourite is The Living Daylights because Ann and I were on holiday in Gibraltar and Morocco around the time the film was being made in 1986. I climbed the Mediterranean Steps on the Rock of Gibraltar where the guy in the opening sequence has his rope cut and falls to his death. In Morocco we visited the Arms Dealer's House which is really a small private museum of military models and miniatures, located on the outskirts of Tangiers. We also travelled to the edge of the desert to watch them filming one of the sequences.

    Favorite Bond Song: View to a Kill, Goldeneye, and of course the main theme used in the first few films.

    Least Favorite Bond Movie song: Moonraker,

    Worst Bond Movie Theme Song: Thunderball, Nobody Does it Better, and Moonraker
