Bond, James Bond: Thread of 007 Action

[BreakABone]

I like to start off any thread with stolen information from Wiki.

James Bond 007 is a fictional character created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who featured him in twelve novels and two short story collections.[1] The character has also been used in the second longest running and second most successful film franchise to date, starting in 1962 with Dr. No.

Well, I have sadly never read the books, something I have been meaning to do, I have seen the movies. And we can all declare that they aren't all winners. Though which is bad and which is good all seems to be relative.


The character has been played by six different actors in the past 46 years. Some have had short tenures, some have had decade spanning tenures while others left the role only to return for one last dance. There is usually no debate on who's everyone's favorite is, but there would be.


In this thread, in honor of his 22nd movie, Quantum of Solace, we go through the cinema history of one Bond, James Bond. Starting with his very first movie Dr. No and ending it with the recent blockbuster Casino Royale.

In the process, we will be shaked and stirred with excitement, spills and thrills.

Officially, Bondtober (as I have dubbed it) will start Oct 1st while maintaining a pace of about 4-5 movies a week. With weekends off to catch up or whatever. But the thread is here so if you want to start early be my guest. And end late. As Quantum isn't due until the 14th.
