Apologies. My dislike for Cliff Richard knows no bounds. I'd take Peter Andre and Jordan over him.

Anyway, to the job in hand, and I opt for the car, as I fear the earpiece would purely look like hearing aid out of context.

Edit: Crikey, how could a man possibly choose?! I'll opt for the comfort of the couch and a hint of Paris.

Next M: Ralph Fiennes or Albert Finney?

[Eric Stromberg]

Good choice, Vauxhall. They say there is nothing like a night in Paris.

Ralph Fiennes for M. Love Finney but he'd be better in a more senior role. Maybe as a highly placed diplomat or politician that actually helps MI6 instead of the usual roadblock these characters become.

Next Bond actor:

Irish with black hair

or

Australian with red hair

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Australian with red hair, we've already had the other.

Felix Leiter: Jeffrey Wright to return the next time Felix appears in a Bond OR Cast someone new? (Personally, I say come on back Jeffrey!)

[thecasinoroyale]

Jeffrey Wright to return the next time Felix appears in a Bond. No reason not to, and he's doing a fine job with the limited screen time he had to show in 'Quantum Of Solace'.


In 'Skyfall', should the main villain...

Best introduction of Bond in a film (a'la the first time we see his face)...


Timothy Dalton's dramatic turn to camera, hearing his colleague fall to his death in 'The Living Daylights'

OR

Daniel Craig, sat in the shadows, waiting for his target in 'Casino Royale'

LEAST favorite Felix Leiter: John Terry in "The Living Daylights" OR a pudgy, Norman Burton in "Diamonds Are Forever" ?

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Of those two, I'd say John Terry in "The Living Daylights" since Norman Burton gets to do more and to show more of a personality though I don't find Terry bad for his limited screen time.

Timothy Dalton and Roger Moore

or

George Lazenby and Pierce Brosnan?

[thecasinoroyale]

Timothy Dalton and Roger Moore. Great.


Best Bond kill:

Letting Alec Trevelyan fall to his death in 'GoldenEye'

OR

Letting Elliott Carver get chewed up in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'

??

[DominicGreene]

Timothy Dalton and Roger Moore. Great.


Best Bond kill:

Letting Alec Trevelyan fall to his death in 'GoldenEye'

OR

Letting Elliott Carver get chewed up in 'Tomorrow Never Dies'

??

Definitely Alec falling, Bond just delivers his line perfectly, and his drop is significant in the story

Alright, here's another one,

1. Having a GOAT play a significant character in a Bond film

OR

2. Bond needs to dress up as a complete wank and act like a "gangster" for just one scene in the film.

[thecasinoroyale]

Bond needs to dress up as a complete wank and act like a "gangster" for just one scene in the film. That will just be the humour needed for Craig I reckon in one scene!


Best Bond kill one-liner:

"She always did enjoy a good squeeze."

OR

"They'll print anything these days!"

??

[Vauxhall]

"They'll print anything these days!"

Roger Moore: clown suit or spacesuit?

[thecasinoroyale]

Clown suit...something creepy, yet quite tense and dramatic about that look in the scene!


Most tense Bond moment:

Bond diffusing the circus bomb in 'Octopussy'

or

Bond diffusing the tanker bomb in 'The Spy Who Loved Me'

??

[PrinceKamalKhan]

Both good but I'll go with Bond diffusing the tanker bomb in 'The Spy Who Loved Me' since it took longer and thus generated a longer amount of tension.

Bibi Dahl and Helga Brandt

Bibi Dahl and Helga Brandt

Best "1st time as Bond introduction" : Connery's first close up at the baccarat table in Dr. No, Lazenby's face hidden until he saves Tracy from drowning, Our first look at Moore in bed with Miss Caruso, Dalton finally getting his close up after 004 falls off the cliff, Brosnan's close up hanging upside down in the toilet cubicle OR Craig reveled in black and white in Dryden's office?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm...out of all 6 I have to go for...at a pinch...Dalton finally getting his close up after 004 falls off the cliff. Something about the setting, the music, the camera angle, it just is very much 'Bond'. But of course Connery and Craig both come close second...the others were just not as big an impact as they should have been!


Most fitting swan-song film for the Bond actor...


"A View To A Kill' for Roger Moore

OR

'Diamonds Are Forever' for Sean Connery

Connery in Diamonds Are Forever.

[thecasinoroyale]

Instrumental by John Barry and orchestra. That guitar...very much more Connery-Bond. Nice.


Best soundtrack:


'Quantum Of Solace'

OR

'The Living Daylights'

??

[The Dove]

Ooh tough choice..both are excellent soundtracks, but I'll give the edge to "The Living Daylights"

The bigger WTF dining moment: In Octopussy, Kamal Kahn only allowing everyone ONE bite of the souffle before he has it taken away OR Bond taking ONE sip of his orange juice and abandoning the rest of breakfast before deciding he has to visit the Tarot card shop in Live And Let Die?
