My next favorite Bond next to Sean Connery. There was some fantastic exotic scenery and stunts during his reign.  To my knowledge this stunt had never been done and was never repeated in any movie. As someone who used to ski when I was younger I thought it took amazing skill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBgsfgkgtqk

Wow! 89 is a long run. He did a lot of Bonds and did them well. But I agree Connery was a great tough guy spy.
I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.

Same with me, Connery number one and Moore number 2. Don't care for the latest guy at all. They've turned Bond from a suave, ladies man with a job to do into a simple killer. Every bond except the last one always had a twinkle in his eye.

I thought Brosnin was the worst and I liked Moore better than Connery but Connery was 2nd for me.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

George Lasenbee was the worst and Timothy Dalton not far behind.
Connery's Bond set the bar pretty high

Exactly. Connery and Moore had that British sense of humor and style. Daniel Craig has neither. As far as I'm concerned the series went down hill when Albert Broccoli died and his daughter Barbara took over.

For me James Bond ended with the departure of Roger Moore.

Don't forget Peter Sellers!
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
