Tough, cynical, a little funny, and romantic enough that he wouldn't turn off the ladies. Superman.<br /><br />2. Gotta go with Michael on this one. Diana Rigg as Tracy. Rigg has always played classy, smart, beautiful. She's somehow managed to get better with age.<br /><br />3. Sean Bean as 003 or whatever he was. I just like the idea of Bond and his doppelganger duking it out.<br /><br />4. Okay, sue me, but The Spy Who Loved Me. It was the FIRST time I was able to sit through a Bond movie without yawning or going for more popcorn. Loved the song, the opening sequence. Barbara Bach is second only to Diana Rigg as my favorite Bond girl. <br /><br />I know they're supposed to be action oriented movies but when they take themselves too seriously, I just raise my 'brows and go, 'oh, please!' A lot of fans didn't like Roger Moore, but I liked the laughs in his series. I love Connery in everything BUT the Bond movies. Smartest move he ever made was breaking off that film relationship.<br /><br />Yeah, I know. I'm in the minority.

I'll expound on some of my choices from <a href="http://le0pard13.blogspot.com/2008/11/required-amount-of-consolation.html" rel="nofollow">a post from last year</a>:<br /><br />1. <b>Sean Connery</b> - yes, he was the first, but he had such a physicality in the role (whether it was in the bedroom or in a fight); plus, he played the role with a cold streak that was perfect for it: e.g., his without pity dispatch of Prof. Dent in <i>Dr. No</i>.<br /><br />2. <b>Tracy Di Vicenzo</b> - Diana Rigg played this character with such class and smarts; a close second is Honor Blackman's Pussy Galore (Sean's expression upon hearing her name for the first time is just classic). Although, Eva Green's Vesper has a lot going for her (and <i>Kingdom of Heaven</i> is also one of my all-time favs).<br /><br />3. <b>Blofeld</b> - but I'll qualify that to the earlier Bond films when he was just a torso with the cat (your points are well taken); the later versions in <i>Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and Diamonds Are Forever</i> kept using different actors for the part! Second fav, Auric Goldfinger.<br /><br />4. <b>Goldfinger</b> - the first Bond I ever saw, but it seemed to the set the standard/archtype for series with its villain, henchman, movie song, and Bond girl (with the unforgettable name); but <i>From Russia with Love</i> is a close second ;-)<br /><br />Thanks, cousin.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.com
