My favorite Roger Moore Bond film is For Your Eyes Only, although Octopussy is a very close second.

[Harry Fawkes]

All Moore films are great but I think my number one is Octopussy. Beautiful and Moore is great as Bond.

[Vauxhall]

THE SPY WHO LOVED ME is my personal favourite by quite a considerable margin; depending on my mood it can also be my favourite of the entire series. Roger Moore therefore often holds the distinction of appearing in my favourite and least favourite Bond movies - the latter being A VIEW TO A KILL.

In the last year or so, my favourite Moore movie seems to have changed. THE SPY WHO LOVED ME has dropped below FOR YOUR EYES ONLY and MOONRAKER in my personal list - perhaps because I haven't seen it that recently. I still cannot bear the last half hour or so of MOONRAKER but I really think that it is saved by a great first portion of the movie. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY is a movie that has grown upon me greatly in the last few years; I'm a great fan of the relatively more serious tone (with the exception of the ridiculous pre-title sequence...) However, A VIEW TO A KILL still remains comfortably at the bottom of my list.

1 For Your Eyes Only is easily #1.
2 Live and Let Die is far too underrated and I love it.
3 Octopussy should be ranked high. All around good film.
4 The Spy Who Loved Me is a classic.
5 The Man with the Golden Gun also underrated and is quite good.
6 A View to a Kill is VASTLY underrated and unappreciated.
7 Moonraker is a bit of a mess even though I love Rog.

Moonraker is also is up there.

FYEO and LALD are also great IMO.

Excellent, excellent choices!

[sharpshooter]

I would have seen Live and Let Die the most out of all the Moore Bonds, by far. It has just a great feeling about it.

[quantumofsolace]

Moore doesn't seem at ease in LALD

[sharpshooter]

Even if it is the case, it doesn't hinder the film. I would probably call LALD my favourite of Moore, but I wouldn't call it his best.

[tama_drummer91]

Octopussy is really beginning to rank higher on my list. I would place it right there with FYEO being Roger's best. Is it just me, or does it seem like there is more action and stunts in Octopussy compared to any other Bond film with Rog? It seems almost non-stop.

[Mr.B]

I've voted for TMWTGG. I know it barely has a real story but it's just great entertainment and Roger Moore at his best.

[Golden Claw]

I voted for TMWTGG, though I consider LALD as his best. TMWTGG has a plot; just remove the stupid solex subplot and the awful forced comedy and you have a great movie with a superb villain and henchman. Rodge gives by far his best performance as Bond. I rank the Rodge movies as follows:

1) TMWTGG (favourite)/ LALD (best)
2) LALD/ TMWTGG (depending on my mood)
3) *reserved for FYEO*

*Gap*

4) Octopussy

*big gap*

5) AVTAK
6) TSWLM
7) *reserved for Moonraker*

[Colossus]

6) TSWLM
7) *reserved for Moonraker*

I really think Moore shined his best under the Gilberts.

[ChrissBond007]

A lot of Moore's Bond's are underrated, Roger was great as 007. His best Bondfilm is still For Your Eyes Only for me .

1. For Your Eyes Only
2. Live and Let Die
3. A View to a Kill
4. Octopussy
5. The Man with the Golden Gun
6. Moonraker
7. The Spy Who Loved Me

I really love Live and Let Die. He seems a bit, I don't know if I want to use the word tougher, but I'm not sure what else to say about His Bond here. He had a harder edge to him that softened up over the years. Octopussy was the first Moore Bond I saw, and then right after that A View To A Kill. I have TMWTGG on dvd, which I enjoy, just not on the level of LALD.

[byline]

My favorite Moore Bond film is "For Your Eyes Only" . . . but I think Moore's best outing as Bond is "The Man With the Golden Gun." By the time "For Your Eyes Only" was released, IMO Moore was already too old for the role. (I would've liked to have seen Dalton take over here.) But it's still one of my favorite Bond films, and I think Moore compensates exceptionally well for his age. I've always appreciated this film's "back to basics" approach, and really enjoyed the unabashedly romantic relationship Bond had with Melina.

By the same token, I find him most convincing as the Bond character in "The Man With the Golden Gun." He is cold, ruthless, really doesn't seem to care what happens to the women (or anyone else) one way or the other, and he seems fully capable of killing anyone who gets in his way. There's far less of the "clown with a gun" aspect than in some of his other Bond films, but still enough humor to keep things light. And the wardrobe, music, set design and casting (with the exception of the cringeworthy return of Sheriff J.W. Pepper, and Britt Ekland was a bit of a clunker) are far less dated than, say, "Live and Let Die."

I've been rewatching all of the Moore Bonds over the last few weeks and I must say all of them are strong in ther own right. Even The Man with the Golden Gun and A View to a Kill, Scramanga and Zorin are probably the strongest villains of the Moore era. The acting from the famale lead is what brings the movie down, in both cases.

[MarkA]

Did Roger Moore make any good Bond films? Please help because I'm not sure he did

[DamnCoffee]

He make quite alot of good Bond movies.

Live and Let Die, The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, A View to a Kill

All 7 of his Bond movies are good in there own way.

[sharpshooter]

If I had to pick only one, it would be TSWLM. It is his best by a mile, in my opinion.

[MarkA]

Well anyone who went on playing Bond to nearly sixty. Had a sense of humour a notch above Carry-On. Wore his flared trousers just below his armpits. Had a nice line in safari suits and kipper ties. Would never take the role seriously. Was not by any stretch of my imagination a good Bond. Was really glad to see him go.

But as an amendment to the above. Before you come down on me like a ton of bricks. Was great as the Saint. And seems an all round good guy. Just not Bond material. I always feel he started at the age he should have been finishing, hence the reason his best films were the first two, before all the silly and juvenile Roger Moore humour took over.

[goose007]

The Spy Who Loved Me!

[Shot Your Bolt]

I think The Spy Who Loved Me just might be my fave Bond ever >_>

[S.P.E.C.T.R.E_Agent_44]

Man WIth The Golden Gun All The Way !

I agree with you 100%.
My favorite Moore film is AVTAK, just because it marks the end of the garbage era.

[Mister E]

I love/hate relationship with Roger Moore. I am pissed at his Bond being so humorous and so unlike Fleming's incarnation and his films were generally worse then he was. However, I can't help but love Sir Rog and THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. That was the last classic Bond before CR came out for me.

[DamnCoffee]

I think that Rogers humour was what gave Bond a new lease of life throughout the 70's. If we didn't have Moore, would we have had Dalton? The main reason we got Timothy was because Cubby wanted to go more serious, just think if we had a serious Bond in the later 70's/ early 80's, would we have had Dalton?

[uncanny]

My favorite Roger Moore film is a tie between The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only.
