I love a lot about Dalton, including his voice; yes.
Also I'm quite convinced Dalton's Bond is my favourite portrayal of a literary character ever. Maybe even my favourite portrayal of anyone period. Dalton is probably in my top ten actors of all time, probably along with Craig somewhere in the top 20, the only Bond to break my top 50.
Nice to see some love for Kurt Russell, surely one of the mose underatated actors of all time?
Not to take anything away from DC, but Craig's been really lucky in terms of the era in which he's played Bond. There is a general taste for 'darkness' and more downbeat story lines that was not there 25 years ago. Dalts would have been in his element now. Of course, in my view, he was a damn good Bond in any era. Just a shame the mess came along with his third film when it did.

I say it every time, but feel sure that Dalton would of been a little too old for the part by that time. 1991 or 1992 would of been a good time for a last appearance, if not for the legal issues of the time but we never got to see it. Brosnan (never a favorite Bond) did well enough in '95 on his debut, and wouldn't have swapped with anyone else - even Dalton. As with Lazenby in OHMSS, I really couldn't have seen anyone else in the part for that particular release
A nice collection of TLD promotion. That's some shot of D'Abo on the 'You' magazine. :x Ebay, here I come...
We're always told that no one liked Dalton at the time, so it's nice to know that there were people around who appreciated him even then.
Siskel & Ebert! I remember seeing that on TV here!
The comment immediately following was a good one- the movie is less about drugs, and more about Bond's personal revenge.
But yeah , I missed TD in GE and he should've done 2 more......hell if Moore could play him uintil almost 60 why not TD too lol ?
Seeing as Tim still looked great right into the millenium.
I had that idea, after Craig leaves, have a film or two with Bond at the end of his career, starring Dalton. Here's how I envisioned it playing out
PTS- Bond is on a mission trying to recover a stolen piece of technology and it seems to be going well; he's killing baddies, making quips, using gadgets, etc. But he's not as young as he used to be and he fucks up, he would've died if he wasn't saved by another agent in the nick of time. Turns out this isn't the first time this has happened, Bond's already lost his 00 status because the missions were too tough for him, and as much as he hates to do it, M fears that soon enough he'll have to let Bond go. It's also a bit like Indiana Jones 4, lots of people Bond loved are gone. Moneypenny got married and left ages ago, Q and Felix are dead, Tanner is gone, etc. He's a bit depressed and the job is really all he has left, so he manages to convince M to let him take on one last mission, for old times sake. M finds what seems like an easy enough job (but of course it isn't), so seeing how desperate Bond is, he gives him the mission. During this mission he meets some girl that he used to know (Kara or Pam?), and by the end of it he marries her and retires to Jamaica.
Afterwards they can just carry on as normal. It'll never happen but I think it'd be amazing if it did.
I think they already made that one, or at least most of it - called Skyfall wasn't it? ;)

We all want it to happen. B-)
Not sure, you people are serious, but if so...
why do you think, people will like his older version any better then the younger one?
This is a rare occurrence. Who said anything about other people? I tend not to base my favourites on what other people like, but I think Dalton could still pull it off. But I would settle for Timothy Dalton reading Bond audio books, it would give me something Bond related to look forward to. I can't remember that feeling.
