Much as I continue to love classic Bond films, the 2006 Casino Royale blew me away and will get my vote.   I grew up with James Bond movies too. I was 3 years old at the time when Dr. No was released and Diamonds Are Forever was the first Bond movie I went to see at the pictures. My vote goes to Timothy Dalton in License To Kill in this poll and my least favourite Bond movie is Die Another Day.   I noticed you didn't include Sean Connery's Never Say Never Again in the poll - the unofficial Bond movie that was released the same year as Octopussy. It is included, but as an unofficial Bond film, I put Never Say Never Again at the bottom of the list in the 25th option alongside 1967's Casino Royale.

ahh..  what kind of question is that..

Escape from New York, on the other hand, is a fine film of its kind (fairly silly too). The other-the-top ridiculousness of that scene I actually don't mind, and Steve Buscemi is always a plus for me, but then I enjoy the silliness of the 60's Casino Royale comedy film. Even if it's not up there with the silly and campy Barbarella (1968). I probably thought of Jane Fonda's film because Peter Fonda is in that surfing scene.

^ Similar to me with Moonraker, although I saw it my my older brother at the cinema. It's such a fun story. When I was young, that and The Spy Who Loved Me were my favourites, then Connery became my favourite.... Now I can enjoy all of the Bonds including George Lazenby (he's not much of an actor, but On Her Majesty's Secret Service is one of my faves -- partially for Diana Rigg).

Love your choices. I've heard it disregarded, but The Man with the Golden Gun ranks amongst my very favourite Bond films. Christopher Lee is the man.

Scaramanga: "A duel between titans. My third nipple against your Walther PPK."

Bond: "What the f***?! One bullet against your three nipples?"

Scaramanga: "I only need the third one, Mr. Bond".

Sorry, just my little take on some well-known film dialogue.

"Ze plane! Ze plane!" (Nick "Tattoo" Nack).

Scaramanga's Island is like a fantasy island to me.

Nick-nack : Monsieur, what'd you think?
Bond : I've never killed a midget before. But, there can always be a first time.
Nick-nack : Oh, monsieur.


Posted this in another thread before making this poll, but can't resist:

Whenever I hear the Fantasy Island TV show mentioned, it reminds me of the song by Tight Fit. They were like a low budget version of Abba and the blonde singer even looks like Agnetha!
