General Bond discussion from Sean Connery to Pierce Brosnan

Who was James Bond when you were born?

Postby jorgem » Tue Jan 31, 2012 10:44 am

Timothy Dalton was James Bond when I was born, that is 1986, the year before The Living Daylights came out.

But if you were born between 1990-1993, Dalton was still Bond until 1994.

Welcome, Jorgem :martini:

Not only was Sean Connery Bond when I was born, but You Only Live Twice was the #1 movie at the UK box office in the week of my birth.

Bumping this thread because Jorgem originally posted it in Polls and Games, but asked me to move it here instead.

Um Roger Moore is my Birth Stone Bond, but so many of us were because he had such a long term, I guess if someone was born in 1983 they can pick Connery or Moore ;) :mrgreen:

I guess technically someone born in 2005 Pierce is still their Birth Bond.


Growing up I had some friend who loved Moore as Bond even when Dalton was Bond it really didn't matter to us Moore had set the standard and was the image of Bond we all had on the playground. I did have Connery as my ideal Bond but that was because it was a family thing to watch the early Bond movies, it would be a lot of years until pierce where Bond marathons become standard on cable.

Most people I think watch the more recent movies so pierce and timothy Dalton are probably getting new fans eveyr year even with Craig making movies

Born in 82 (Moore), Brosnan when I was 14.
M dies at the end, Skyfall is Bond's ancestral lodge, and Eve is really Moneypenny. I do hope this spoils your enjoyment of Skyfall, pro-Craig trolls.

I support the real james bond from 40 years not a over emotional bourne wannabe thug.

When I was Born Connery was Bond, Although like Many when it cam time for Me to go to the Movies
It was R Moore ( I grew up watching the saint and the persuaders) I know he takes a lot of stick, But
I think Moore brought many fans from his TV shows to the cinema. Where as Craig seems to Be
driving many audiences from the theaters :wink:

You'd have to be 16 or under. I don't think we have anyone that young on the forum.

Roger Moore was Bond when I was born. In fact, the year I was born, my favorite Bond film of all time came out, For Your Eyes Only!

Favorite Bond Movie: My top 7 (or should I say, 007!): FYEO, FRWL, TWINE, NSNA, TLD, GE, OP
But really, any Bond film with Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton or Brosnan is fine.
Favorite Movies: Lawrence of Arabia, Silence of the Lambs, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, My Fair Lady, Beauty and the Beast, In Bruges, Ripley's Game, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, Life of Brian, Dirty Harry

I was born in 1991, I guess that makes me a Bondless baby.

Nah, Timothy Dalton was still the official Bond at that point (I think the plans were still to have him in GE until he quit about 1994) so you belong to the Dalton era!

Pierce Brosnan was announced in 1994.
