Best Stunt : Acrostar jet flying through warehouse at beginning of Octopusssy
Best Bond Girl : Honeychile Rider ( Ursula Andress, Dr. No )
Best Bond Villian : Red Grant ( Robert Shaw, From Russia With Love )
Best Gadget : Boeing Skyknight helicopter with magnet ( You Only Live Twice )
Best Bond Animal : Blofeld`s Persian Cat
Best Bond Location : Monastery in For Your Eyes Only
Best Bond Line : " Shocking, Positively shocking "  (Goldfinger,  after Bond  fries a bad guy in the bathtub with an electrical appliance.                                              
Best Bond : Connery

Great movie with plenty of 'voodoo' and that Paul McCartney song!Thumbs Up

Daniel Craig was talking the other day (with the whole Obama fever) that it would be ince to have a coloured James Bond for once. It though there had already been a coloured Bond: wasn't Roger Moore orange?

And David Niven is the best bond ever. And Le Chifre played by Orson Welles is the best villain ever. And the only good thing to come out of Sheryl Crow's mind is the theme song for "Tomorrow Never Dies".

On Her Majesty`s Secret Service the only instrumental theme song apart from Monty Norman`s original James Bond Theme. It sounds so...................regal and majestic.

As I said in the other poll, "The Man With the Golden Gun" was my favorite but "Octopussy" and "Dr. No" come in close.

yes, kind of sepia

my personal favorite is Diamonds Are Forever, first one I saw as a kid so probably nostagic but it has great style, personality and a grizzled Connery   ..also very fond of You Only Live Twice and Man With the Golden Gun

Clap

Despite the fact that the N64's controller made it ridiculous to aim, this is still my favorite first-person shooter. So many different characters, cheats, weapons, and levels made this an instant classic. A friend of mine has this adapter that makes 360 controllers hook up to a computer and we have spent many hours playing this over the past year.

Goldeneye was my favorite Bond movie because it's the first one I ever saw. I think Pierce Brosnan was what Bond should look like and he was as smooth as anyone else. The plot and action scenes were great (it's hard to do much better than driving a tank through St. PetersburgBig smile). The only things that I can concede to other movies are the song (Live and Let Die), the Bond Girl (The Spy Who Loved Me), and evil henchman (Jaws).
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

From Russia with Love, also one of the best of the books.

Live And Let Die  : a cheesy choice, but this was the first Bond I saw in the movies and I got a crush on Jane Seymour.
BTW I saw it  recently on TV and I still like the funky 70's voodoo athmosphere! I  like the scene where 007 opens the zipper of one of the bondgirl's dresses with his wrist-watch.Approve

Quantum of Solace was a huge sh*t pile

Finally voted, From Russia With Love. 
 
There is no bad Connery Bond film (well, maybe Never Say Never Again).  
 
Don't care too much for the Roger Moore era, though there's some good stuff there.  But often in the later years there wasn't much to like there.
 
Connery all the way.  "You are nothing but a stupid policeman!"
 
"You disappoint me Mr. Bond!"
 
"No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"
 
That was good cinema, as it were.
