The name is Bond... James Bond

Any James Bond watchers around? As there are now 22 (official) Bond movies, you'll probably have encountered at least one ;)

Share here your favourite movies, themesongs, actors or whatever else you want to mention about the most famous MI6/secret agent 8)

I've watched quite a few of the James Bond movies and they're all fine. Sadly it's pretty obvious what will happen in the end in the first 19 movies or so. Well, at least you don't have any bad dreams after watching it... haha.

What would James Bond be without a pretty girl besides him in the very end on a boat or somewhere else? Good on him, that he always has saved the world without any serious injury. :P But yay, it's good action, a fascinating setup (otherwise there wouldn't be 22 Bond movies) and it has a happy end... what do we want more?

Where would the world be without the martini in James Bond movies :P

@Silvio: Not every Bond film has a happy end :O (well of course the 2 new ones don't). On Her Majesty's Secret Service actually has a quite sad ending, but that film is not too well known and Bond is played by Lazenby, who only had the role once, between Connery and Moore, who were the most influential/iconic Bonds.

Every actor displays Bond in a unique style, where Moore is probably setting the stereotype idea of Bond movies of ending up with at least 1 girl and save the world inbetween ;)
My fav bonds are Pierce Brosnan and Timothy Dalton. Brosnan, because he is of some sort the Bond from my childhood, so has a special place in my heart :P and Dalton because of Licence to Kill, where he displays a not so stereotypical Bond who has to fight some megalomanic with plans for world domination, but rather a fight for his own vengeance. And it's kind of a relief to see after the load of Moore movies that were not too serious :P

Fav movies at the moment being GoldenEye, Licence to Kill and Casino Royale
