All Sean Connery Bond movies are my favs except Never Say Never Again. Sorry, but there´s only one James Bond and that´s Sean Connery.

I also enjoyed a few of the Roger Moore films.

All the early Connery Bond's (DN, FRWL, GF) are great. They started to get silly in Thunderball. The Moore Bond's were mostly light-hearted adventures with a few exceptions - FYEO and LALD. Dalton tried to bring the movies back from the Moore silliness but I never really thought of him as Bond, although I enjoyed both of his movies. Brosnan brought the series back from extinction, if Goldeneye had flopped that would have been it, instead he hit one out of the park. A perfect combination of action, humor, sex, and thrilling sequences. Craig, or Crag as I usually call him, is an ugly, blond, runt with beady eyes, chipmunk ears and a bad haircut. His caricature of Bond is a dumb, brute animal; tough, but still a dumb, brute animal who seems to think with his dick or his fists. Although frankly that last part is the writers' fault.
Favorite Bond switches off between Connery and Brosnan, depending on what I've seen last. Favorite movie - Doctor No, with From Russia with Love and Goldeneye really close behind it.
Least favorite - Quantum of Solace. CR at least followed the general plot of the book, even if Purvis and Wade took huge liberties. But QoS was just a testosterone-loaded mess with no real plot. I would rather watch Moonraker a hundred times than see QoS again.

I think Craig pulls off an early Sean Connery...which I like. Early Sean Connery was violent and agressive. He did have more intellect in the movie than Craig. I'm just happy that they don't focus on gadgetry in the news ones like they did in all the others. If they bring Q back I hope it's in a lesser role.

Bond shouldn't need to rely on gadgets. Seriously a high power laser gps celular taser wrist watch ? They might as well have given him a sonic screwdriver. Thats why i'm glad that it's back to brutal basics.

Had Lazenby done more, I think On Her Majesty's Secret Service would be top of the list. - or if Connery had done that one. Still, can't get used to Kojak as Blofeld though!

What about On Her Majesty's Secret Service? I liked that one as well.
William Escalade is no more. He's done his service to the site.
