I've got to split my vote, between Sean Connery of the first three Bonds, and Daniel Craig of the last two.

Sir cool himself.......Sean Connery. But Daniel Craig does a great job as well.

All Bond's brought a uniqueness for their respective rolls though.

The interesting thing is George Lazenbry was not an actor , he had never acted before .How do you replace 007 and get him married off? It was a very bad scrip ,so put a person in the role who you can dump and blame it on him simple .

Most memorable Bond sequence for me: the tank cruising/smashing through town in Goldeneye.  Goldeneye is a fave movie of mine, and definitely breathed new life into the franchise (thanks Pierce and company for that!).

Most memorable Bond humor: Casino Royale with David Niven.  This movie was camp, knew it was camp, and relished in being camp.  Plus it had the most James Bonds in one movie at the same time, also had Ursula Andress, Orson Welles, that memorable scene with Dahlia Lavi is strapped to the table by Peter Sellers... ahh the memories!

I also very much enjoyed the In Like Flint franchise, btw...

Daniel Craig is probably the most brutal Bond for me, and definitely walks in Connery's footsteps.

Another notable Bond moment.  When Bond's wife is shot at the end of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".  Really sets the tone for why Bond has such a cavalier/cold/standoffish attitude towards women/love interests in the later movies (his one true love dies in his arms).  This movie would have made more sense if it was earlier in the chronology, although the 1962 'Doctor No' fits perfectly in the era it was shot.

Favorite Bond?  Not Roger Moore.  I even like Timothy Dalton more than Moore.  The Moore movies had some memorable moments, of course, but were less grounded in my opinion.  He is the quintessential Bond for many, but I prefer my Bonds more hands on and brutal I think... I like most of them, and am happy that Daniel continues to take the role seriously.

Most cool Bond car?  The submersible one...

Favorite Bond Babe?  There are so many!  Tracy from 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' was the most fun for me.  Tiffany Case was also memorable.  Hallie Berrie left her mark quite nicely.  Can't pick just one...
