I love his turn in the Cannonball Run "I should warn you, I'm Roger Moore" but in addition I often think his best Bond performance was actually not in a Bond film, but as Shaun Finn in The Wild Geese.<br /><br />I think Christopher Paul Starkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763589622434040244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-91497612809677078082014-04-04T09:11:24.638+01:002014-04-04T09:11:24.638+01:00Interesting, I think Golden Gun is the best Moore ...Interesting, I think Golden Gun is the best Moore film, but then I'm a sucker for anything with Christopher Lee in. <br /><br />Dalton - interesting choice. And, I think, very much underrated. Like Moore, he's slightly hampered by the timing of his films; Moore got Cannonball Run-style comedy sheriff and safari suits, Dalton got less sauce...Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-27544049721331559832014-04-04T09:08:55.084+01:002014-04-04T09:08:55.084+01:00Lets just say, I can see what the problem is... ;)...Lets just say, I can see what the problem is... ;)Arfon Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538971075550919385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-35082604850030863102014-04-04T09:08:21.414+01:002014-04-04T09:08:21.414+01:00The Man with the Golden Gun is probably the best R...The Man with the Golden Gun is probably the best Roger Moore Bond, but then Christopher Lee immediately raises the quality of anything he's in, he's like Peter Cushing in that way. <br /><br />I'd completely forgotten about The Persuaders!

Rog will likely end up 3rd in my list, pipping Brosnan because he’s firstly more unique (Brosnan’s major failing is that he is just an amalgam of all the others) and secondly because he had a wider array of films (most of Brosnan’s are a bit samey)<br /><br />I think Roger is underrated; in Paul Starkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763589622434040244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-79444241071023720432014-04-02T13:46:26.977+01:002014-04-02T13:46:26.977+01:00I don't like Roger Moore as Bond, I'm not ...I don't like Roger Moore as Bond, I'm not overfond of him full stop to be honest, but he was very good in The Persuaders (we have the box set and used to watch an episode daily) and we also have The Saint box set but have had it for years now but have yet to get much further than the first couple of episodes. I caught a bit of Moonraker at the weekend and was not impressed.
