It's never been one of my favourites but one of the most fun things about LALD is it's dialogue.
So you were indecisive about that one as well?

I think with these, one gets pretty much the entirety of Bond in all it's shapes and forms (zany, thriller, outlandish, revenge driven, greatest hits, character driven, emotional).

Thanks. Gave FRWL the top spot as GF had been my number one for quite some time now. I just love the attache case, the intrigue and all the characters: Grant, Kerim, Klebb. Tatiana. A true classic. I think I usually have LALD up more, but thought it was time to give Pierce and Dan more love.

Swap GF for OP and TLD for LTK and bravo !!
I find Licence To Kill the biggest missed opportunity in the series.

Not a Daniel Craig Bond fan then ,GG ?
Not enough bon vivant and too much everyman and muscleman for my tastes.
Still, Quantum of Solace made it into my last top 10. I think he's very good in that one.
For me it's absolutely essential that James Bond doesn't come across as working class, that's why he's my #6.
He doesn't come across as working class too much in QOS, that's probably why his second outing is my favourite of his.
Mmmm. Both Connery and Moore were from very working class backgrounds? I'm not sure what is more 'blue collar' or working class about Craig. His accent is fairly well spoken and he demonstrates all the refinements of his predecessors when playing the role. In reality yes the actor Craig is working class, but so were Moore and Connery.
I think it has to do with his look. He is certainly dressed differently and his behaviour is rather normal. He is drinking Heineken which is certainly not the best taste. All in all, you would not imagine that he cares very much about haute cuisine, the right drink or the right dress for a particular occasion. In all the other films, this is one the main elements that differentiates Bond from other heroes...

I agree, but I think his most "cultivated" performance was in QOS. Love his attire in that one. Also moments like when he changes hotels or has wine with Mathis. Excellent work by Dan in those scenes.
I love it too. Moore is brilliant in LALD too. Suave, sophisticated and cool. The bad guys are fresh, unique and interesting too.
I'd also say it's the best movie overall in terms of villains. Kananga may not be my favorite main villain, nor Teehee my favorite henchman, but as an overall ensemble, those two with Samedi, Adam, and Whisper are untouchable.
The twins are inspired and I've always liked Berkoff too. On the other hand, Kamal is only servicable in my book and Gobinda doesn't do much at all for me.
I think FRWL had the best villain roster: Klebb, Grant, Kronsteen, Morzeny and unseen Blofeld. Even side villains like Krilencu and Benz are memorable for me.
