Wimbo Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 R.I.P. Roger. You were good fun and a great man re your work with UNICEF.
betty boop Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 It's very sad ... he was a class act. Abd also helped in defining bond. a big bond fan ... 1

Casino Royale for both....though Skyfall is a tie for the song (in fact I think Skyfall is a masterpiece, but they're very different) Moonraker and The Spy Who Loved Me were always my fav's from Roger Moore......I was only saying yesterday I am looking forward to introducing my 5 year old daughter to them at some point in the next few years. I think I was 7 when I watched The Spy Who Loved me with an aunt of mine.

Grumpy Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 The coolest Saint ( ah! fond 60s memories) and a very cool Bond RIP RM
arthur63 Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 Don't forget 'The Persuaders' with Tony Curtis. Maybe not as memorable as 'The Saint'.

Live and Let Die is my latter and The Spy Who Loved Me is my former. yep it is a good topic as there are so many good ones. He was the 1st Bond that I saw as a kid and is the person I think of when i think Bond. He was my favourite Bond. My favourite film is 'For your eyes only' and close is "View to a Kill'. Mainly because they were out at the time I was first seeing the films (I was 11 when For your eyes came out). Song - Nobody does it better or Live and let die.
Nigel Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) @scuzzii - you young blokes don't remember the real James Bond, from the earlier movies when the stunts were almost realistic etc Compared to Sean, Roger was soft. I remember Wodge from the Saint, a great TV show, which when they inevitably show the reruns, will undoubtedly show its age, badly. They all seem to, (except the full length movies). I would just like to say that Roger Moore was possibly the best looking man that has ever lived. Forget your Tom Cruise. This guy's tally could have been 1 for every night he was alive. I would have, and I'm not gay !! I'd have to push Hensa out of the way. Edited May 24, 2017 by Nigel 1

illusion Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 Sad to see a 007 go with cancer. Whilst not my favorite Bond, Roger suited the times and feel of the Bond movies back then. He also starred or was a regular in quite a few TV series. The Persuaders The Saint Ivanhoe The Alaskans Maverick (Beau Maverick)
