Which Bond Wins?

We recently completed our Bond collection with all titles bar On Her Majesty’s Secret Service with George Lazenby and Never Say Never Again with Connery. This has of course sparked the perenial debate (thanks Kath!), which Bond is best? Well, by rental its … drum roll .. Daniel Craig! Ok, could have guessed that with Quantum of Solace hitting the big screen, as for the oldies, its Sean Connery then Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton. I’ve ordered the covers by popularity .. check it out:

 
 
 
 
 

I’ve baselined the count to when all copies became available, so all’s fair in love and war. Craig has suitably taken the mantle from Connery .. we’ve finally got a Bond back that we can believe in! (Pierce Brosnan always got my goat .. what a faker). Roger Moore was fun but he’s proved not to have the longevity of Connery. His shining light was The Spy Who Loved Me, but then with Barbara Bach on-side, perhaps he had an unfair advantage! Loved Jaws as well.

Quantum of Solace is in-store for March and we’ll also be adding On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. That leaves us shy only 1 title - Never Say Never Again - which is unfortunately now a deleted item. If anyone has a copy .. let us know! We do trade-ins and would love to grab it off you.

    While I was disappointed with Quatum of Solace, I really like Craig. Oh, and I’m really glad that Dalton is at the bottom. Really glad!

    Hey Simon, I have a copy of Never Say Never Again that I don’t watch anymore. I’ll bring it in sometime in the next few days for you.

    Cheers

    Never mind the best “Bond” - what about the best (female) sidekick / love interest / “they-had-sex-so-now-she-must-die” character???

    Without a doubt my vote goes to Barbara Bach! Luckily she didn’t have to die ’cause that woulda been just too much.
