Who was the best Bond?
(Preview)
I had this discussion with a few friends at work the other day, and I have to say over the years, my view has changed. As a child I used to love Roger Moore, but as I have matured I have realized his films are comedy and have aged terribly. I now believe Dalton was the greatest bond.

It seems so strange to be crying tears of sadness because of her today; her tears are always joyously, helplessly, rapturously overflowing floods of happiness. A supern...
