Played James Bond 7 times---same number as Sean Connery.

This is, for me, an impossible choice.

I love all these movies...even The Living Daylights which was undoubtedly his weakest one. It was still enjoyable (to me).

I can't choose just one.

I am partial to Octopussy. But that may be because it was the first one I watched as a kid. Plus....Octopussy.

"The Spy Who Loved Me" is probably the best, but lacks a lot of the best elements of Bond. The theme is 70's ballad twaddle. The score by Marvin Hamlisch is awful in comparison to John Barry's work. And the plot is heavily redundant of previous movies, outside of the "007 works with his KGB equal" element. But it still has one of the best openings of any Bond movie, not just Moore.

The Spy Who Loved Me is the best Moore Bond, but For Your Eyes Only is a worthy runner up.

You could try choosing one that Moore was actually in, rather than The Living Daylights, which starred Timothy Dalton.

The Spy Who Loved Me

For me his greatest is his first Live And Let Die (1973). That killer opening song! The fascinating Harlem sequence, the awesome New Orleans sequence (who died? you!), the sexy Bond femme fatale Jane Seymour, the sequences with Sheriff J W Pepper! Yaphet Kotto as Mr Big, Geoffrey Holder the Uncola Guy as baddie Baron Samedi.

Plus it was my first Bond film seen in a theater.

I probably meant A View To A Kill, which was equally not very good.

I'm still choosing not to choose.

This website's having a tribute.

I was invited out to see one in a theater as a kid. I don't remember which one.
Might have had sharks in it. Also, I think some women were swimming in the credits, or at least
color silhouettes of women.

Which movie would that have been?

I must be confused. I looked at all of the opening credits on YouTube, and none of them look right.
Probably a Connery movie I saw on TV. They all run together in my head. And by "All" I mean
three or four of the Bond movies that I have seen.

Still, I did see a Roger Moore 007 in the theater. Is there one where he uses a Jet Ski?

Ah, Thunderball is the credit sequence I remember. So I must have seen The Spy Who Loved Me
in the theaters in 1977. I would have been 14 or so, and that sounds about right.

Sorry to have crapped all over this thread. But that Thunderball credit sequence is pretty good.

I agree.

Watched a little bit of Octopussy (1983) tonight with the beautiful Maud Adams.

Roger Moore Bond movies are not cinema.

Yeah, obviously. Only five or six movies really are.

No, there are 64.

Yeah, but most of Scorsese is shit. His James Bond movies were the worst.

My favorite is For Your Eyes Only, but I have a soft spot for The Spy Who Loved Me, which I saw on cable when I was six; my parents told me it was a horror movie called Metalmouth.
