Best Sean Connery Bonds
Obviously Daniel Craig is the best James Bond actor yet. Unlike everyone else in Ireland I don't believe that it is Pierce Brosnan. So Sean Connery is second in my books. If you think he beats Craig, go see a psychiatrist ya fuck.
However, Connery is the original Bond, and the Bond our minds always track back to when comparing Craig or anyone else.
Therefore I've decided to list his titles in top, best, countdown list form thingy.
THUNDERBALL:
Didn't care for it. Enough said there.
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER:
Connery's last offical role as Bond and probably for the best at that. Bond must stop Blofeld of Spectre from using "diamonds" (understand the complecated title now) in laser canon. Its pretty average really but has all the moments you'd expect from the franchise. Connery is typical Bond here, and actually a little rougher and tougher towards the beginning.
GOLDFINGER:
Slightly ridiculous when you think about it, but marks many a thing for Bond. Firstly it establishes James BOnd as a franchise. Secondly it has that classic moment of the murdered lover drapped in gold. Also it established firmly all the things that became known or expected in each Bond film, an evil villain, his evil plot, a fling in bed thrown somewhere between the movie and the villain's righthand man (in this case Odd Job).
Rewatchable as ever and fun too. Also it has this classic scene:
YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE:
A brilliant action, spy, cold war-ish film and as exciting as a playground to Roger Moore. Firstly it gives us Ernst Stravo Blofeld. The icon for evil genius' everywhere, and ultimate Bond villain, who's face is revealed for the first time in this picture. Plot wise, it is possibly the best, world on brink of World war3, and done in a somewhat believeable way too. Scenes with Connery recouperating in Japan are interesting and different enough to make this one of the great Bond films.
DR.NO
A classic. With Ursulla Andress as the sexiest Bond girl ever, along with the introduction of film goers to James Bond, this film is historically remembered. Watched because of the espionage world aspect of it, loved because of the establishing of one of cinemas greatest ever characters. A characeter seemingly developed enough here, so that he remained that much developed for the next forty odd years. I love it. The dragon, the villian, the babe, the action, the smartness, coolness, suavenes (a characteristic some shits seem to think the Craig character just gots to have). Oh what a film!!!
"Underneath the mango tree...."
what a ride!
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE:
In my opion the best James Bond film featuring Sean Connery. Firstly, great fucking action scenes here. The fights, the helicopter bit....awesome. Best SPECTRE involved movie. The espionage is great here, not only a bond film, but a mighty cold war film. Brilliant ending too. Just oh so smart, great locations and settings, great plot. Won't go into more detail, just watch it again or for the first time yourself.
Now I for one don't regard the Roger Moore bond films (or any of his films ) or Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan's to much regard if any. But "On her Majesty's Secert Service" really stands out for me. Hopefully to be regarded in a new light since casino and quantum because it tryed to do something new with bond before Casino Royale. Check it out, george Lazinby is a really good Bond, and quit due to criticism, mainly that he wasn't Connery.

To: Dr Detfink,
Please remember that the love for Connery's Bond isn't exactly based on the love for Connery as a person.
The reason we "Connery-Bond lovers" are so adamant about defending him is because Connery's films were the ones that established the character Commodore James "007" Bond. It's where we saw the suave spy, the one line glibness, the refinement in entertainment/lifestyle, the relationship between Bond-M, and Bond-Q. For the most part it established the TYPE of characteristics that James Bond should have.
Now, having said that. I still prefer the Connery Bond character for Bond movies. But, I do enjoy Craig Bond's movies for the fact that he has the characteristics FROM Connery-era movies, yet Craig's have MUCH more character-development that explains a lot of things in regards to his moral/ethic decision process.

I dunno...are we putting Connery on a pedestal that no can ever reach. I give Connery all the props on a John Wayne level of pioneering the man's man of cool masculinity but c'mon many of his bond films are horribly dated. I think because some Bond fans refuse to let go of the past is what held back the franchise for some time...maybe too long.
Daniel Craig will never be Connery but I love the complexity he brings to Bond. Every death in the two Bond films are felt. He articulates the weight of disappointment of fuckin up. It also helps M is there to pour salt in the wounds. I loved that line in Casino Royale "The Bitch is Dead.." Can you feel that betrayal and hate of feelig fooled? You can be vulnerable but rough and that's Craig's Bond.

I have to say that Sean Connery's Bond movies are the Keystone that all Bond "Movies" are based off of.
Yeah, sure I'll be the first one to admit that the Connery-era movies are dated. But it's not due to Connery himself. It's more to do with the types of plots and the effects that subtract from the films today. The better ones (Dr. No, Goldfinger, Diamonds, and Russia) are the ones that really shine. They were the ones that would be counted on as the best of the best due to the complete package of what they were. Those were the Bond movies that HAD character development, unlike the others that followed a 'formula' style.
