Mr Parker
Which is your favorite Roger Moore James Bond movie and why?
the choices of course are
1.Live and Let Die
2.The Man With The Golden Gun.
3.The Spy Who Loved Me
4.MoonRaker
5.For Your Eyes Only
6.Octopussy
7.A View To A Kill.
My favorite is The Spy who loved me because Jaws was the scariest and most dangerous villain Bond ever faced IMO and the care he drove was the coolest car of his he ever had in the bond series IMO as well,and catherine bach and that woman helicopter pilot who was trying to kill him were just drop dead gorgeous.Plus the theme song NOBODY DOES IT BETTER is awesome and my favorite.
whats yours and why?
Clovie
can't decide..
LALD was nice and TSWLM

Mr Parker
Yeah I understand what you mean,Its hard to pick because they are all good except for View To a Kill.Didnt really care for that one especially with Grace Jones being the villain.yuck.It was a hard for me to choose between that one and For your eyes only because I especially love those two.
Mando
The man with the golden gun was the first moore movie I ever saw.
Plus it has Hervé Villechaize and Christopher lee.

yerssot
LALD is good... and that's pretty much it though I like TSWLM and FYEO too
Doc Ock
Live and Let die is one of my all time favs.Even though Q was missing from it
But Baron Samedi and Tee Hee are some of the best Bond villains ever.
yerssot
they did it to get a more realistic Bond, though with Samedi returning from the dead, I'm not sure how they can keep that standing
Doctor Lecter
My favorite is A View to a Kill.
yerssot
with Mayday??? then what is the worse besides Moonraker??
Mr Parker
Good question Yerssot. I would sure like to hear as well from him whats the worst Bond movie with Moore if its not A View To A Kill.A View To A Kill is the ONLY Bond movie with Moore that I did NOT like.Like you said,Mayday was the worst thing about that movie.
yerssot
they got confused:
they needed a girl, a male villain and a horse but they mixed them up together and got Mayday
Mr Parker
Yep.thats what happened also when they cast Halle Berry for Catwoman.

Doc Ock
Moonraker was just trying to compete with the Star Wars movies.
yerssot
only, Star Wars was good

The Man with The Golden Gun is easily the best because it has the best actor in the world playing Scaramanga - Christopher Lee.
Mr Parker
yeah he's a great actor.thats one of my favorite Bond films as well.

Roger Moore is evidently the best Bond, so his movies are tough to choose from. I always enjoyed The Man with the Golden Gun, but Moonraker always keeps my interest. I'd say Octopussy is the coolest one of all. For Your Eyes Only wasn't great, and A View to a Kill wasn't too good either. Between Moonraker and The man with the Golden Gun. The Spy Who Loved Me was cool too though.

This one's a tough one. I like 'em all with a 'View to a Kill' definitely being the weakest.
'The man with the Golden gun' had some very cool villains played by Christopher Lee and Tattoo. Jaws was also one of the coolest recurring villains in a couple of these films.
'The Spy who loved me' and 'For your eyes only' both had memorable songs made for the movie.
'Moonraker' was loaded with action and 'Live let Die' also had cool villains and that black magic vodoo vibe. Loved the train scene in that one.
And what can you say about 'Octopussy' that hasn't already been said. The title alone speaks for itself plus I loved the new ingenious weapons used in that one. Hand-held electrical saws I think they were.
If I have to choose one I'd guess I'd have to go with 'TMWTGG'. Scaramanga was just the coolest villain that Bond had ever faced and one of his most difficult challenges. Plus wasn't this the one where we saw Bond bust out his Kung Fu moves while taking on a few ninjas. Yep I'm pretty sure it was.
Mr Parker
well said.Those are all great points on why The Roger Moore Bond movies are so great.But like you said,A View to a kill was easily his weakest Bond film.I mean Grace Jones as a Bond woman? yeech,I had a hard time not barfing seeing him get into bed with that ugly ape.

Too Bad Moore had to go out in his swan song with that Bond movie.

For me, Roger Moore was the best second Bond, almost tied with Connery. He bring some sense of humor to the character and the series, and it worked very well. But it didnt work anymore in the last two movies. He was very old for the role and the humour was more and more chessy. Here is my ranking:
1: The spy who loved me ( the best one without a doubt)
2: Live and let die ( great movie and very original to the series.)
3: The man with the golden gun( Chris Lee, what a villain.)
4: For you eyes only( less than the others, but still good)
5: Moonraker( pretty corny, only like some action scenes and the Shirley Bassey theme)
6: Octopussy( evern more corny, and moore was too old)
7: a view to kill( Chris Walken was a fine villain, but again Moore was too old and the sense of humour doesnt work like in the others. )
Fianchettoer
Yeah, A View to a Kill was Moore's worst film, but it was 10 times better than Die Another Day if you ask me. What a POS
Mr Parker
No doubt there.Yeah Die Another Day is easily the worst Bond movie ever.
History Buff
This one for me is a no brainer....The Spy Who Loved Me, no question about it!!!!!
Not only is it my fav. Roger Moore Bond film, its my fav. Bond film of all that have been made.
The reasons: Moore was at the top of his game, great presence, charm, grit, and toughness. Great song, "Nobody DOes it better", great villian, and perhaps the best reason....BARBARA BACH!!!!!!!! IMO, the hottest Bond woman EVER!!!!! No doubt in my mind.
BoyScoutKevin
No reason, or, at least, I can't think of a reason, but for me, it's "The Spy Who Loved Me."
Mr Parker
great choice.

Yeah for the reasons I mentioned earlier,that one is my favorite as well.
Mr Parker
I saw LIVE AND LET DIE the other day.It had been a long time since I ad seen that one.that is a very close second to my favorite The spy who loved me.I didnt remember it being so great but it is.

Chewy07
For me it would have to be The Spy Who Loved Me. It's the first time we meet Jaws and Barbara Bach is absolutely gorgeous!!
Mr Parker
I dont get it.first I got to remind the people who post on the sean conney james bond thread,that there is a roger moore bond thread to post on as well cause they dont post here.NOW someone posts HERE but on the connery bond thread.I just cant win.

same here, but I think moonraker should actually be switched with view to a kill... even though it had a ridiculously cool opening
Mr Parker
so do you have a favorite sean connery James Bond movie?
Jovan
yeah, Moonraker should be the lowest
