The Party and Shot In The Dark have to be the funniest and greatest comedy films ever.
Craig wouldn't work in any Connery film. That's like saying Ben Affleck would work in Batman Begins or The Dark Knight.
By sophisticated modern standards, Sellers' performances in Dr. Strangelove are the gold standard for first rate comedic acting, especially in multiple roles. Judging him by the Pink Panther series, which got steadily worse as it went on, or by the cursed '67 Casino Royale, would be a mistake.
...or putting on an Indian accent for no reason while at the casino tables.
Ummm....I don't get it.
Exactly. Not funny.
This is the most important thread on here!
I agree, but it's all a case of 'if this had happened', 'if that had happened', something we've all experienced in life. You wouldn't perennially fixate on those moments in real life, so I don't get it with Bond. I could understand if Dalton were to be, in theory, the greatest Bond of all time in the 90s, but he wouldn't and nothing suggested that. He had a shot and it didn't work out. Moving on...
I agree with both of you. I think anything regarding Bond should be discussed - otherwise, why else are we here? - but at the same time, I'm surprised a hypothetical question gave life to 81 pages, likely containing the same stuff repeated ad nauseam.
Give this man a sausage.
Can I have a 5th Bond film with Pierce instead? ;)
Can you not say this about quite a few threads here?
You most certainly can (B25 thread: spam, or on-topic comments that are repeated over and over), but 81 pages from one hypothetical question? It's a given that a lot has been said time and time again.
Can't we just get back to bashing Brosnan?!!
Could your weak point be that you are comparing Brosnan to Craig? Fatal error. Craig isn't as good as people think right now.
Once the new guy is Bond and has done his second. Craig will just replace Brosnan as the guy to be bashed on all the time.
Craig is in no way better than Brosnan, just different. His era even resembles Brosnan's quite a bit, it's almost unsettling.
Precisely.
Well, there we go then. Entirely predictable outcome when comparing Brosnan to the massively overhyped Craig.
The gold standard is obviously Connery but that's always a slightly unfair comparison. I suggest popping in OP and then TND or something like that for a more enlightening comparison.
Or perhaps for the purposes of this thread a straight Dalton-Brosnan face off would be more appropriate.
Dalton will always win.

by an enormous gap for all four.
