But just in my opinion Pierce Brosnan is the best bond. I liked him from the TV show he started his career from "Remington Steele" in 1984 I believe.

My god MakgSnake, I wasn't expecting this one from you. You almost killed me. The "old" Terence Young's 007 movies influenced so many movies in the history of cinema; they were well directed, filled with original ideas and full of revolutionary special effects for that time. Just to make an example, Lucas took inspiration from the atmosphere and style of those movies to create Indiana Jones. Thunderball, From Russia With Love... Goldfinger... damn I love those movies.
If you say something like that to certain long time fans of Bond movies they could die of heart attack... well, I almost died, be careful. But oh well, that's a common opinion I guess. But it seems like there is little memory of all the movies that really made the history of cinema, and that's normal in a society that pumps gazillions of images into our brain, every day. Just a few did see all the movies acted, written, directed by Chaplin, Welles, Nicholas Ray, Ozu, Mizoguchi, Rossellini, Fellini, Godard(Ã* bout de souflle - I love it), Hawks, Ford, Peckinpah, Hitchcock, Bergman, Visconti, De Sica... so many artists, so many lives spent to create something unique, and many don't even know who they are.
Poor old 007.
Anyhow, don't get me wrong. I respect your opinions - it's so nice when you go to the cinema to see a movie you have been waiting for a long time. Have fun!
