Whats your favorite Sean Connery James Bond Movie and why?
the Connery Bond movies of course are

1.Dr No
2.From Russia With Love
3.Goldfinger
4.Thunderball
5.You Only Live Twice
6.Diamonds are Forever
7.Never Say Never Again.

Mine is Never say Never again because the special effects were the coolest of the connery bond films,good storyline although not the best of his,but mainly because of Kim Basinger and the girl-cant remember her name off hand,the one that played the female villain fatima blush,they were the best connery bond girls and were so gorgeous. Plus it was funny watching connery- a guy who was old enough to be fatima blush's grandfather,seduce her. whats yours?

can't decide (what a surprise...)

FRWL and YOLT

Yeah I understand what you mean,their all good and its hard to pick one,it wasnt easy for me.

You only live twice. I can't get enough of that one.

Actually now that I think of it, any Bond movie with "Jaws".

pfff...FRWL, Goldfinger or Thunderball

FRWL has a great story, is focusing on the spypart
GF is showing a different Bond: one that has actually not a big role and gets easily beaten
TB because it shows the archetype plot: worlddomination due using a superweapon

This one is easy-Goldfinger.The best Bond movie EVER!!!!

Auric Goldfinger,Oddjob,Pussy Galore,girl painted gold,the Aston Martin.....so many cool things in this.

It has still to be topped IMO.Brilliance.

and I believe it still holds a record to date

A record of what??

From Russia with Love.. easily the best Bond movie.... I wont argue with the Goldfinger lovers.. it was a great movie too.. but FRWL is my personal fav..

Robert Shaw was a great villain... this movie had the hottest Bond girl IMO too... mmmm Tatianna.. mmmm.... a Bentley car at the beginning.. and the first movie with Q I believe too!!! It is a classic and I feel it is the definitive Bond movie...

Awesome

yeah, but that's As of "7/28/02", I would take Return of the King (LOTR III) would be number one now

From Russia With Love is my favorite. I also think it's the best Bond movie.

then how do you rate GoldFinger?
Just asking cause most people think of both of them as excellent

goldfinger is one of my favorites of the bond series as well.

Mr parker, the girl who played fatima in never say never again was Barbara Carrera, a very hot thing.

For me, Sean Connery is the best bond ever. here is my ranking of his movies:

1: Goldfinger( best bond movie ever)

2: From Russia with love( great plot and great fight on the train)

3: Doctor no( the one who started everything and ursula andress in a bikini, great.,)

4: Thunderball( a little overrated, but still pretty good)

5: You only live twice( very original with the plot in japan)

6: Diamonds are forever( maybe the worst official connery bond movie, but the shirley bassey theme was great)

7: Never say never again( not a official movie, a remake of thunderball and maybe the worst Connery movie playing Bond. But it had some good points like the girls and some action scenes)

Goldfinger, it had good dialogue, characters, story, plus Oddjob!

All the Connery movies are excellent. Even if the Cold War politics and social attitudes are a bit outdated, these movies blazed new ground in action-adventure. If I'm in the mood for a "serious" Bond, FRWL is the best. But it's hard to argue with the blending of plot, supporrting cast, music, setting, cinematography, plus that outlandish volcano, which together push YOLT to the top and over.

I have to agree.I just recently watched that movie again for the firs time in ages and since I have now seen them all recently,I got to say You Only Live twice is my favorite Sean Connery Bond movie followed by a very close second Thunderball.

Thunderball for me

1. Dr.No
2. From Russia With Love
3. Goldfinger

I can't pick, other than to say that Never Say Never is shit, and that I haven't actually seen Goldfinger all the way through , so I'll say Thunderball.

yeah thunderball is my second favorite after you only live twice

Thunderball....easily.

Yeah Thunderball is a very close second for me.you should watch YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE again sometime.I hadnt seen that one in ages and was going by my memory when i first made this thread but after seeing that one recently,I rank it ahead of THUNDERBALL even.Its easily now my favorite.the music of YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE is a lot better than THUNDERBALL so for that,i got to put it as my favorite.that and plus it had so much action in it as well.

FRWL, because it's the most spy-orientated and the least action-orientated of all the Bond films, which is why I like it best.

Goldfinger is an EXTREMELY close second.

I agree with Etrigan!

people you know there IS a Roger Moore favorite james bond thread as well just right below it to post your thoughts on THOSE movies as well you know?

as soon as I find a good Roger Moore Bond movie, I'll post there

well you need to start posting then because the ONLY one that isnt is A VIEW TO A KILL.

you mean that's hte only bad one?

just to clear things up what I mean in this post is that A VIEW TO A KILL is the ONLY Roger Moore James Bond film thats bad.

seriously? Wow! huge taste difference, I do not think any of them were any good... like, Moonraker?

Loved it,great action scenes.

For me it has to FRWL. Sean looked really comfortable in the role and Robert Shaw was a fantastic villain.

but considering what star wars had done the previous year, it had ugly FX

all of them

yeah but before the space battle,there were a lot of cool action scenes like the boat chase where he drops the bombs in the water and blows up the boats chasing him,my favorite boat chase after live and let die,and the fight with Jaws on the skyscraper lift ride.and how can you forget the opening sequence of him falling out of the airplane and having that fight with jaws in the air? that made it a fun and exciting film to watch.I never even thought about star wars while watching the movie because NO SCI FI film measures up to the greatness of star wars.of course you'll be let down if you think of it as a sci fi movie and try to compare it to Star Wars.

I hav to say I do not remember anyting you wrote because I never watch it because I find it so bad :s perhaps I have to see it again, some day

yeah you should at LEAST watch the movie all the way up until they have the laser fight in outer space since that seems to be your major beef with the movie is the outer space fight.Cause up till that point,its a typical james bond flick.

the things I did remember didn't make it a good movie; like making Jaws fall in love and talk... it destroyed his myth

oh yeah,I didnt like that part either.I want to see Bond DEFEAT his enemys.Not walk away from them cause the villain got good at the end.

1. FRWL
2. TB
3. GF

Looks like from russia with love and goldfinger have the lead so far.

I think I liked Thuderball the best because of the underwater action.

thunderball didnt have jaws in it though.its my second favorite connery movie though,has a lot of great underwater action in it.maybe that was WHY it was?

What did I just say?

well if it wasnt for Connery bond would not have been that famouse

true dat.

1. From Russia With Love
2. Goldfinger
3. Dr. No
4. Thunderball
5. You Only Live Twice
6. Never Say Never Again

Haven't fully seen Diamonds Are Forever and quite frankly I don't really want to.

yeah that one is my least favorite of the connery Bond films as well.

Thunderball for me

great choice.thats my second favorite of his.For me its a close second behind You Only Live Twice.

Gold finger...Bond was caught and he coulda been killed...showed that Bond wasn't invincible and could be caught which made things more interesting than Bond just escaping all the time

good point.The thing I like most about Goldfinger is the car.reminds me a lot of the game SPYHUNTER. which Im sure was the inspiraction for that game.

The more you watch movies the more you find out that James Bond inspires everything.

true.Like in one of Connerys Bond movies,he is actually talking about a watch Q gave him and asking him if its water proof-back then in the 60's if you had a water proof watch,you were the talk of the town and everybody was in awe of you if you had one,NOW of course,very few people who wear a watch dont have one thats not waterproof.and also in the spy who loved me,towards the end of the movie when Moore is on that wetbike riding it,I know from people who were around at that time old enough to see it when it came to the theaters,they told me the audiences were laughing when he got on that wetbike to rescue his girl from that underwater city where his girl was being held at because back then,they had never seen anything like it in their life.back then in the 70's,everybody wanted to be your new friend if you had one of those cause they were so rare and new.NOW if you go to a beach,its rare NOT to see someone skiing around on one of those.

I like Sean Connery, but for some reason I can't really remember the ones I liked out of all his films apart from Goldfinger. Can't remember enough to give an opinion, saw the films such a long time ago. Must watch them again.

yeah thats a good idea,you should do that.

I just finished rewatching all The Sean Connery/Roger Moore James Bond movies and I got to say,god what was I thinking listing Never Say Never Again as my favorite originally? as i said before,You Only Live Twice is easliy my favorite followed closely by Thunderball.Man This is the james bond film of the connery series thats right up there with Moores A View To A Kill as a real horrible Bond movie.I only liked it back then when i saw it as a kid cause of how gorgeous Kim Basinger and Barbara Carrera are,their the ONLY thing about that movie worth looking at.

This movie doesnt even coincide with the other Bond films at all.In For Your Eyes Only for example,we see Roger Moores Bond put flowers on the grave of his dead wife at the beginning and he then kills Blofield who has that white cat on him in the wheelchair and by that time,Connery's Bond had already destroyed and tore apart spectre that Blofield was running.Yet what do we see in this movie which was made two years later AFTER For Your Eyes Only? Blofield again and running spectre again AFTER it was established he was dead for sure now. Sith is right,Never Say Never Again is utter shit and should be burned.

Mr parker, it was because never say never again was a non official bond movie, out of the series. I mean, it was just a remake of thunderball( see how the story and the name of the characters are the same) out of the official series and made by another production company.
