I cannot believe people are saying this is their favorite bond movie! Connery and Brosnan and Craig are great! Even the 80's guys was so so.

Well, it's my favourite to watch. I like the story, I like the characters, and I like the setting more than any other Bond movie. It's not about which actor is the coolest actor who played Bond (that would be Connery. imo).

For what it's worth, my second favourite is From Russia With Love.

Timothy Dalton was the Bond I grew up on - so the two Dalton movies are also in my top 5 - but not just because of nostalgia, but because I think they are genuinely great Bond movies.

I am a child of the late 80's to mid 90's as well. But for some reason I knew as a kid that Dalton was not the "it" factor in the Bond world. We would try to watch his movies on TV, but it would just not work out. I do like Dalton in Hot Fuzz though!

dalton wanted to take bond back to what he originally was as in a cold killer type,like craig did,he was before his time in a way,i quite like the dalton bonds when i rewatch them even though one story is just a drugs story which i find boring for bonds,its funny how we all swing and roundabout with bonds,really there is one for each time of your life sort of thing and how you are feeling,i like dalton in hot fuzz he was in something else i saw recently but can't remember now,have to check imdb

Whem I first watched The Living Daylights, I couldn't stand it.  I liked Licence to Kill much more.  Then I rewatched TLD and didn't hate it anymore.  The problem with Dalton was that he was the exact opposite of Roger Moore, and I think that most Bond fans were brainwashed into thinking that he should be a joke telling machine.  Timothy Dalton is actually very close to the James Bond from Ian Fleming's books (this includes the positives and negatives).
