Timothy Dalton is the most faithful incarnation of Bond, true. But who can resist The Spy who loved me? Best Bond song ever by the way... Carly Simon outdid herself!

Yup. Dalton is probably the closest to Fleming's original Bond. And he chain-smoked, too. Those Moore Bonds are very much Guilty Pleasures. My fix is the highly amusing The Man with the Golden Gun- will do that at a later time. But OHMSS remains the best Bond, imo, followed, most probably by Goldfinger.

It’s a competitive field but “Names is for tombstones, baby” is one of my favourite lines of dialogue in all of cinema. Especially as a response to the iconic “The name’s Bond, James Bond”. Also, “Take this honky outside and waste him” shows that Mr Big isn’t pissing about.
