Sean Connery, Goldfinger then Thunderball

The One True Bond
 

Sean Connery in Thunderball. Underwater action sequences.

On her majesty's secret service book, and I like the movie.

James Bond
 

Sir Roger Moore in The Man With The Golden Gun!

My favorite James Bond is probably Sean Connery and James Bond movie is Goldfinger.

Think I took my live-in girlfriend at the time to a Timothy Dalton James Bond movie Licence to Kill - Wikipedia and she was not impressed and had been in the same theater as a bunch of teen age girls I would manage at the concession stand at the Idlewild Softball diamond in Reno, Nevada various summers at another James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only with Roger Moore. The girls seemed to be enjoying themselves. Timothy Dalton on stage and screen - Wikipedia


List of James Bond films - Wikipedia


For Your Eyes Only (film - Wikipedia)


It was a double -feature and they did not stick around for the 2nd movie which I think was Kagemusha - Wikipedia.


It was a long night at the movies.

My first drive in Bond movie was Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969 with my first car and date. Needless say I didn’t see much of the movie.:highfive:

I missed that stage. Was a late bloomer.


I returned to Reno, Nevada to attend the 1989 annual summer law librarian convention and played hooky by going to see an Indiana Jones movie and walking around Reno much of the day. Also called one of my former bosses from the food service who told me to move on from Reno. Funny thing is I could not find the other man in the partnership anywhere for a while and then after I had forgotten to check where he could be my new search brought up a large number of lawsuits against him. I could not think of why so many people were suing him. It turned out he had become the Warden at one of the biggest prisons in Nevada. Same one that held OJ Simpson for a while. I had talked with him once in a while about my experiences with the Michelle Mitchell 2-24-1976 murder investigation but not that often. I was very surprised that he had gone into working and then supervising people in prison.


Love the new movie trailer with the man looking at a picture of OJ Simpson playing a character in a movie and slowly shaking his head when all the other people in the scene are honoring their fathers.

A Bond fan for decades, I have to say You Only Live Twice, I saw in the theater on its release

That is a good one .

Bond
 

Sean Connery, followed by Daniel Craig, then Timothy Dalton. Goldfinger was probably my favorite Bond film.

The best Bond
 

I like Daniel Craig and probably the best was Skyfall.

Sean Connery defined the role. Roger Moore was too "prissy" IMHO...

The others we afterthoughts... Until... Daniel Craig, who re-defined the role. Much more in line with the character the Ian Flemming wrote.

Casino Royal revived the series...

Skyfall was very good .

I have liked them all except for the Pierce Brosnan episodes. Based on rumors I’m guessing I won’t be a big fan of future episodes, although I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
