Are we just including James Bond movies?? I think it would be interesting to see people rank the non-Bond movies because there is already a thread for his Bond pictures.
A quick shot by me:

1. Ffolkes (aka North Sea Hijack)
2. Escape to Athena
3. The Sea Wolves
4. Shout at the Devil
5. Gold
6. The Wild Geese
7. The Cannonball Run
8. The Naked Face (not sure of the title, but it was the one where Roger played a psychiatrist and David (LALD) Hedison was a costar)
9. The Man Who Haunted Himself.

I don't hear too many fans mention Moore's Bond parody. Funny how Jaws took over in Cannonball II.

I liked it when I was younger...It was nice just to see Roger Moore driving a gadget laden Astin Martin DB5.

What was funny was it was Roger Moore playing Seymour Goldfarb who was playing Roger Moore who was playing James Bond...

Yes Ffolkes! My favorite non-James Bond character for Roger Moore. Rufus Excalibur Ffolkes, a man who prefers cats to women, and crochets to relieve tension and think.

He was a great character...and "Ffolkes" is a fun movie...I watched one movie the night before my first trip to the USA and I decided on "Ffolkes" (except in the UK it's called "North Sea Hijack")...

Yes, "D" it was The Naked Face. Roger played Dr. Judd Stevens. But I loved Rod Steiger and Elliott Gloud as the two detectives

My favourite Roger Moore non-Bond film is The Wild Geese. My favourite Roger Moore performance is (or should I say double performance) as Pelham in The Man Who Haunted Himself.

My favourite Roger Moore Bond film is The Spy Who Loved Me.
My favourite Roger Moore Bond performance is from For Your Eyes Only.

I have The Man Who Haunted Himself on DVD and although I do think RM gave a good performance, the movie itself was a little dull (and I thought the climax was a little silly. :)

Yes, it's not the most exciting film by far, but Roger's performance is compelling and it makes the film well worth watching.
