(poll) Who's your favorite 007 ?

Not the best, but your favorite?

George gets my vote. That one episode had no gimmicks, making it the best, and Lazenby pulled it off most smoothly!

Roger Moore gave it the best sense of humour.

Sean Connery is not a pleasant human being.

Good or bad, I can't help but think of Connery when I think of Bond.

Hard to compare them through the different genres for me.

I went with Craig, mainly because of his edgy character. Connery gets the sentimental vote

Sean, because I like the early, pre-special effects era scripts and his low key sardonic acting style. But I watched his first movie when I was 12 in 1962 so it really stuck with me.

Connery was obvious the first and best.
But my sentimental favorite was Moore, as I grew up watching all his movies.

For me, it's close between Connery and Craig, but Connery's work on Celebrity Jeopardy gives him the edge.

Pierce was my favorite until Daniel came along. Craig is my #1 Bond for being the most realistic Bond of all and for his "special" character different than any Bond before him.

If you grew up in the 60's there is only one bond and that's Connery but Moore comes in a close second

Grew up with Moore, but for me it is Connery (Classic Bond) and Craig running a close second. Dalton is actually under rated for me as he really played the character very close to the literary version but I think his tone was too dark for the 80's. Funny how Craig plays it somewhat dark and everybody loves it (the Dark Knight effect).
