What is Your Favorite James Bond Movie?

What is Your Favorite James Bond Movie?

 

The new Bond Movie, Quantum of Solace, is coming out tomorrow and people are buzzing after the great success of Casino Royale two years ago. I don’t know how many of your remember or watched the annual “15 days of 007” on TBS, which ended, sadly, but that used to be one of my favorite two weeks of the year (I was really cool back in 5th grade, still am). Choose your favorite of the four below, each representing a different kind of Bond. These four are the highly agreed upon best films from each of the four true Bonds (Sorry Dalton fans, and I know no one is voting Lazenby).

 

Goldfinger: This is the movie that made Bond films, Bond films. Overly ambitious bad guy, a side villain with strange killing methods (in this case Oddjob, who throws his hat, not a shoe), as well as a Bond girl with an atypical name, Pussy Galore (her dad must be proud). Don’t forget about the automobiles that could single handedly wipe out a 3rd world country, as well as the overzealous pocket gadgets produced by Q. Sean Connery is in his prime pimping years and models how to seduce four different women in the same film without having them get jealous.

 

The Spy Who Loved Me: By far the best Roger Moore film. You have the same sort of plot line as guided by Goldfinger, only you add in a 7-foot giant with metal teeth (Jaws, who, ironically, bites and kills a deadly shark), another hot Bond girl, and a car that turns into a submarine. You get your action in the snow, the sand, and underwater. Don’t forget the nuclear missiles (pronounced miss-aisles) and massive submarines. Horrible punching sound effects aside, you’ll find that this is probably the most complete Bond film.

 

Goldeneye: Pierce Brosnan brought James Bond back in his first, and greatest, film. Sure he jumps off a cliff, defies the laws of physics/gravity, pulls himself into a freefalling plane and flies himself out of a fiery death in the opening credits, but James Bond can do whatever he wants, and he makes it look good. This movie will give you the typical cars, gadgets and sexist puns you need out of a Bond movie. On top of that, Famke Janssen is a killer in bed, moaning with pleasure as she constricts her legs to suffocate her victims, when she’s not handling an AK-47. Throw in an invincible Boris and probably the greatest video game ever made, and Goldeneye rounds out pretty positively.

 

Casino Royale: Blonde and blue-eyed Bond? No problem. Daniel Craig had millions of women worldwide fantasizing about him coming out of the ocean for a good three months following the release of the movie. A very different flavor of James Bond compared to the previous options mentioned, but the change was well received. Any doubts about the new film were instantly ended in the first scene at the construction site with the 20 foot leaps and tuck-n-roll landings. The tried and true Bond girls, betrayal and cash were all there. Added bonuses: a near death poisoning experience, a high stakes poker game and a torture scene that had guys clutching their crotch for weeks.

AHor, you suck. This is so stupid. Honestly OTR is so much less interesting. How did you get picked to write for this? They asked the public, hey who can piece together small sentences about dumb topics. It's like you decided to try to make people less interested. Posted 11/17/2008 01:02 AMReply

This is the only content from the last 4 days and any idiot could write this. No offense, but you guys need to find some more interesting topics instead of just making polls all the time. Posted 11/17/2008 11:53 AMReply
