Personally, I think

Sean Connery

Pierce Brosnon
Timothy Dalton
Roger Moore
George Lazenby

VOTE NOW!!

Pierce, Roger and Sean [not in order] are/were the greatest bonds. george and tim were, in better termanology...SH!TE.

I thought about Casino Royale just after I hit the post button...If I could edit my post I would...and maybe again. But no more than that. And only for you pb.

Dalton was actually the closest to the original idea of Bond from the books. Strange that he seems to be the last choice.

I still reckon Casino Royale should be in there though, it may be a spoof, but it's based on an original Bond book...

I would say Roger Moore as he was in the best Bond film ever, Live and Let Die

I think Pierce is a top bond...

Very close to Sean.

Roger Moore is the best Bond no question. Sean Connery, a Scotsman, was mighty fine, but Moore rules for me.

Like everything he’s ever been in, Moore never takes the role too seriously like it’s taken now, and his films are light-hearted adventures rather than the adrenaline-fuelled thrillers we see today.
He’s very smooth, very suave, humorous, that eyebrow thing is fantastic, and he’s the master of the double-entendre.
Being one himself, Moore plays the funny, sophisticated Englishman extremely well (similar to his stuffy upper crust role as adventuring playboy Lord Brett Sinclair in The Persuaders, the best TV show of all time), and that’s one of the elements I like so much about Moore’s Bond; he's the unflappable Englishman who always wins and acts so English whilst he does it.

Live and Let Die has the redneck sheriff, Bond jumping over crocodiles and battling Yaphet Kotto, Baron Samedi, a henchman with a metal arm and loads of other Blaxploitation stereotypes, The Man with the Golden Gun has Scaramanga, mini henchman, solar laser, island lair, kung-fu schoolgirls, car with wings, corkscrew car stunt, The Spy Who Loved Me has the amazing opening ski jump off a mountain scene & Union Jack parachute, Jaws and that underwater car, Moonraker had Moore going into space and a pigeon who does a double-take look when he sees Bond driving on land with his gondola, For Your Eyes Only has Bond driving a Citroen 2CV in a chase sequence and a crap villain, Octopussy has Moore dressed up as a clown, A View to a Kill has an ageing Moore fighting Christopher Walken on the Golden Gate Bridge and Grace Jones being mad.

The banter between Bond and Q, always a highlight of any Bond film, is the best between Moore and Q, and which Bond wears a safari suit and flares and still makes men want to be him? Yep, it’s Moore.

Connery is a great Bond, Dalton is passable if a little characterless, Lazenby is Australian and Brosnan just getting way too boring and humourless.
Moore is the best Bond, I thank you.

David Niven is the funniest (and possibly oldest) Bond.

I probably should, but all my cash has gone this week.

I can only assume my lower IQ and dribbling is somehow related.

I did get the abyss special edition though, which is cracking.

You should buy it. Tis very good.
