    What James Bond is your favorite and why? I love Living Daylights and For Her Majesty's Secret Service. Honestly I love them all and have them on DVD special editions, but hot damn those get my button.

    man with golden gun and you only live twice and the one where connery fights an assassin on a train (i forgot which movie this was).

    btw, on her majesty's secret service is considered the worst bond movie of all time

    oh my god the newest one is. I dont care for others opinions though. I watched man with a golden gun the other day. Its a good one. You only live twice, but the japanese-make over was laughable

    Man, I haven't seen the older Bonds for so long. I do remember liking You Only Live Twice though, and loved watching pretty much all of them during my younger days. I just can't put names to any of the many, many scenes that I fondly remember.

    I really liked Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies, even though a lot of people disliked the latter. The other two new ones were a bit poo though.

    Golden Eye - Becuase it was the first Bond Movie i had ever seen when i was 11 or 12, and was in a theater. It was the only movie that felt realistic out of all of them i guess. Also the game was classic.

    Dr No and Goldeneye are my favourites, Connery is just, obviously, a fucking legend, but Brosnan has great charm in the role and it did of course spawn an amazing game.

    On her majesty's secret service is NOT considered one of the worst bond movie's of all time. It's awesome. Bond get's married and she gets killed and he goes all bibledy.

    The timothy dalton years could be considered the worst... come on, sledding on a CELLO???

    I like all James Bonds with Connery (the best Bond ever), Roger Moore was nice. The rest of the Bonds are not so cool..

    And the new ones i dont like, Pierce is a good Bond, but the movies are to much hightech.. I dont know, but the old movies has something u cant really explain.

    cheers,

    No and no. Bond's wife dies in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. She is shot in the head inside Bond's car.

    Bond was married twice in his life. Once out of love and once out of need for being undercover.

    In You only Live Twice he was required to be married to maintain his identity when he and the ninja's slipped into the fishing village. It was part of his giant "make over" he was required to obtain. Yes, they gave him a unibrow like thin and shaved his chest. Very amusing. That and he partied with little betty. hehee

    Than he married out of love in Her Majesty's. If I'm not mistakened he proposed to her in the barn after being chased off the mountain on ski's, an awesome chase scene They got married in a chapel, moneypenny was crying, good fun. He was offered money as a dowry and refused because he actualy truly loved her and wasn't in it for the money. They were driving down the mountain on their way to their honey moon and they realised she didn't have a flower, but they had tons on the car. So Bond pulled over to pick one off and give it to her. At that time a drive by shooting occured and his wife was shot in the head. He actualy broke down and cried.

    In movies after they bring up the marriage. For instance in the next movie..I'm drawing a blank on the name, but it starts with him at his wife's grave and he is picked up by helicopter and flown elsewhere only to be ambushed by a remote control helicopter that I think Spectre set up for him.

    They also talk about his marriage in License to Kill when Felix's new wed brings up that who ever gets her leg thingy isthe next to marry, and that got bond upset. Felix explained to her that Bond was married once, a long time ago, and its a very touchy subject.

    Point is, Bond is a pretty linear character, but he does have those little niches that help explain his character.

    And the older movies are awesome because of less technology, the reliance on his charm and luck, and simply good acting. THe new movies rely too much on special effects and just putting things in that are..retarded. For instance, who the HELL surf's in to combat? Seriously. That is worse than a cello.

    Anything with Connery for the win. I think it was in Goldfinger:

    "You expect me to talk?"

    "No, Mr. Bond--I expect you to die!"

    Classic.
