The first James Bond I ever saw. When I saw the others later on, they didn't feel right!

Rest in peace.

Me too, I watched and appreciated Connery later.

Octopussy is great, yes it's silly but so what. I think the current Bond films take themselves too seriously.

The Moore-era Bond films alway felt like a big adventure.

GoldenEye 007 on N64 really made me big into the Bond movies (I liked GoldenEye the movie as well), and I remember that fall TBS in the US was running continuous Bond marathons, and it was mostly Connery/Moore stuff.

I understand Connery is the iconic Bond, Brosnan was Bond for my generation, Dalton was the underrated Bond, and Craig is modern Bond ... but damn if Moore's films weren't arguably the most fun.

Mostly agree. Even if now Connery is perhaps my fav Bond, Moore is always a very close second. About the others, Brosnan is a little bland for my tastes, Dalton not the best, but not so bad and Craig definitely the worst Bond for me, not that he's a bad actor, he's good enough, but I always see him a lot more suitable to play a KGB agent than Bond. Last remains George Lazenby: I don't hate him as many do, probably also because in Italy we have very good dubbers, so he must have sounded better for us than in English speaking countries, but above all because his 007 movie starred as Bond girl one of my fav actresses ever, Diana Rigg.
