When I was a kid... I thought Thunderball was the greatest movie ever made.
I'll never forget the underwater scenes, and the spearguns!
And who didn't want an Astin Martin with machine gun headlights?!!
His cool demeanor defined the character.
Moneypenny must be crushed!
RIP Mr. Connery

Not only Bond, but The Untouchables, Indiana Jones father, etc. Great parts over the years. RIP

best Bond ever!.....R.I.P Sir Connery, never got tired of his films...Very captivating actor, he will be missed as this year continues to suck.

Still the quintessential Bond, the standard for all other actors to attempt, but had a lot of other really great roles. A legend has passed, he provided so many hours of entertainment. RIP in the great Aston Martin in the sky.

The James Bond character really changed with the Daniel Craig movies... less suave, charming and humorous... more fierce, brutal and intense.

Sean Connery was always top of the heap in the older style Bond... some of those flicks were so enjoyable... must've been a thrill to have seen those in the theater... so new and exciting.

I've always loved the Roger Moore movies as I felt like the stories were the best of the franchise.

All that being said, if I had to pick a single Bond movie, I'd go with Skyfall. It might be the Roger Deakins cinematography that pushes it over the edge... so stylish... just a cool movie... for me, it's the most "complete" of the franchise... covers all the bases.

Best Bond by a hair over Daniel Craig. You always believed that Connery could knock someone out with one punch, which was much less believable with Brosnan and some of the others.

Are you happy now Goldfinger?

2020

Stop blaming a number for celebrity deaths. Last year everyone was blaming 2019, but nothing changed in 2020.

Can't forget this one...

I love me some Skyfall. Daniel Craig just smolders, twenty-four seven. He’s a really interesting actor. I hope they do their due diligence and nail the next casting as well.

I think the way Craig does Bond is closer to what Flemming had in mind in the books, but when it was translated to the screen with all the razzle dazzle, Connery brought a personality and flair to the role that it needed in that context. If the producers had chosen an actor with Craig’s demeanor back then, it just wouldn’t have worked. Craig did redeemed the franchise back from the cartoonishness it had become with Moore and Brosnan.
