Why don't people mention all the other actors who played James Bond? George Lazenby, David Niven, Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, Barbara Bouchet, Joanna Pettet, Terence Cooper and Daliah Lavi? It seems to me that if you're going to pick a 'best Bond' you should really consider ALL the candidates.
And Brian? Daniel Craig is a damned fine actor and was easily the second-best Bond.

Nope. Roger Moore was already too type-cast as Simon Templar to be a credible James Bond.

To me, most James Bond movies are too boring. On all Sean Connery's Bond movies I gave up early. Like you watch those car chases with what are now ancient cars and it's ridiculous.
I liked "Moonraker" with Moore because it was goofy, but I can not comprehend that some people could take it seriously.
But if I had to choose my favorite Bond then it would be Pierce Brosnan.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
