I'm sure many of you will agree that James Bond is the coolest film character ever.  Last night in the pub a mate challenged me to name all twenty Bond films up to but not including Casino Royale.  Its harder than it sounds, without internet cheating etc.  Try it next time you are in the pub.  Took us quite a while.  Honestly, its more fun than it sounds.

I can do it by remembering each Bond actors films.

Sean Connery was in...

Dr No
Goldfinger
Thunderball
Never say never again
Diamonds are Forever

George Lazenby (sp) was in...

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Roger Moore was in....

Live and let die
Man with the golden gun
Octopussy
For your eyes only
Moonraker
The Spy who loved me

Timothy Dalton was in....

The living daylights
Licence to kill

Pierce Brosnen was in......

Can't remember!!!!!

I have 14, i've missed a few.

off the top of the head

dr. no
from russia with love
goldfinger
never say never again
on her majestys secret service
the man with the golden gun
moonraker
you only live twice
diamonds are forever
octopussy
thunderball
live and let die
for your eyes only
goldeneye
tomorrow never dies
the world is not enough
die another day
a view to a kill
the living daylights
license to kill

is that all of 'em?!

I've only ever seen The World Is Not Enough :|

DV wins.  Ralphy, you missed Connery in From Russia with love and You Only live twice, and Moore in A view to kill.  Nice work people.

Wow, you and your friends must have had a wild night.

I don't like James Bond films. If you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Bond almost gets killed, Bond saves World, Bond gets girl....

Just for once, I would love to see the cunt die.

 :beers:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

To be fair, sitting in the pub with quite a few pints and a few mates is more fun than what most people class as a wild night, which in my experience involves drinking shit drinks, paying to get in to place packed with pikeys, and fighting on the way home, stocked up with the obligatory traffic cone.  Yawn.

Technically speaking 'Casino Royale' should be included in the list as the 'original' was made in 1967. See below:

Thats a fair old point NMH.  Does this mean that David Niven should appear in any debate about the best James Bond actor?  (Not that he's win, obviously.)

James bond is silly.

David Niven was never a Bond and Casino Royale was not a bond film (in my book anyway)  :x

I'm reserving judgement on whether to accept Daniel Craig as a Bond yet as well....

In case you don't know....which I'm sure you do Ian Fleming is buried in the churchyard at Sevenhampton....which if you doon't know, but I'm sure you do is betwixt Swindon and Highworth.

 Not a lot to see really, other than a gravestone with a bit of an inscription.....I quite like a good graveyard.

I have never watched a JB film and I never will.

What's the other famous thing Fleming wrote? It's something you wouldn't expect...

chitty chitty bang bang or whatever it's called

That's the bunny.

I know everything me.

Bond is fucking ace.

He shags loads of birds, smokes alot and drinks alot. Oh and he drives an Aston Martin.

I bet Bond has GTA4 in 1080p as well

seems no one noticed I listed Never Say Never Again...which isnt a proper Bond film and I missed out The Spy Who Loved me

I'm dissapointed in myself

The Spy Who Loved me is ace. Mainly for Jaws and the brilliant theme tune. Oh and the eye-candy. The Russian agent bird ended up marrying Ringo Starr I believe.

nobody does it better!

you are indeed correct, you remember alot of pointless trivia ben!

My problem with Bond Trivia is that I can never remember the actresses for the bond girls. Which tends to be the pub quiz questions.

I know what you mean, me and few mates were bored once and were in toys r us and bought the scene it interactive DVD board game - James Bond addition and its really good, but questions like that come up....name the actress....and the actresses names are something that dont stick as the large majority come into the Bond films unknown.....only few I can remember are Ursella Andress, Honor Blackman? Maud Adams, Halle Berry and Denise Richards!

You agree that Goldfinger is the best bond film yeah?

I'd say so yes....

I couldn't tell you who played Pussy Galore though. Is it Honor Blackman?

Yes...

I only got it because you'd already listed her in the post above. I nearly checked on imdb, but I figured my bond knowledge would be just as justified if I got it wrong, so I guessed.

If I get a few options on the actresses in bond films, I can probably guess. But if you ask me the name of the actress for the main Bond interest in a random film, say Liscence to Kill, then I couldn't tell you.

license to kill, neither could I.....

although I think she might be the one married to richard gere

Could be..

I'm pretty good at remembering connecting bits of information. Like what I said before with the Spy Who Loved Me bird and Ringo Star.

I struggle to remember individual facts though. But generally that's not a problem. Unless I'm trying to keep hold of something which I have no relation too in my mind. Which shouldn't happen very often. Unfortunately I drink too much. Which means I can only make the connections which hit. And I don't make enough connections any more.

Either way, memory and intelligence and wisdom are all about connecting memories together, which I'm amazing at, if only I could remember more....

I wish Bond was killed off or even severly injured...

Never say never again jim,
