does that title make sense?
what is your favourite non-James Bond movie which stars (or heavily features) any actor who played James Bond?
I think I have to go for HOT FUZZ. not a film which seems universally liked round here, but Timothy Dalton's evil supermarket owner is bad-guy perfection, imo.
Sir Sean Connery: The Hill, Murder On The Orient Express and the very disturbing The Offence, all three directed by Sidney Lumet.
George Lazenby: well, OHMSS was actually his career, wasn't it? :wink:
Sir Roger Moore: The Man Who Haunted Himself and The Wild Geese.
Timothy Dalton: Hot Fuzz was good, also Hawks and Wuthering Heights.
Pierce Brosnan: The Long Dong Good Friday and The Foreigner.
Daniel Craig: definitely not a fan :tongueout:

not seen any of those connery ones. out of the few of his I have seen, HIGHLANDER 2 and ZARDOZ stand out. not a fan of THE ANDERSON TAPES or some weird outer space one he did in early 80s.
THE MAN WHO HAUNTED HIMSELF is cool :thumbup:
George Lazenby was also in the craptastic DEATH DIMENSION which is well worth checking out (weirdly the guy who played Oddjob in DR NO is in it too)
can't say I'm a fan of Daniel Craig either. he comes off more like an evil Bond henchman than a Bond, imo!
QuoteGeorge Lazenby: well, OHMSS was actually his career, wasn't it?
He played John Stamos' super-secret-agent Dad in 1986's craptastic "Never Too Young to Die"...
Connery: He's one of those guys who is always good, even if the movie he's in sucks. He's been in too many movies for me to pick a favorite. (Tho the one I've revisited most recently was
The Rock, in which he played the World's Oldest Bad-Ass)
For Roger Moore, I can't think of non-Bond roles he's had that weren't trading on his 007 notoriety (see:
Cannonball Run)
Outside of his two Bond flicks, I think I liked Timothy Dalton best as the bad guy in
The Rocketeer. I think the only non-Bond film I've seen Daniel Craig in was
The Invasion, a "Body Snatchers" update from the early 00s, and quite frankly I focused mainly on Nicole Kidman's tight sweaters during that movie so I barely remember him being in it. :D
Craig was in the GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO- which I enjoyed very much! Personally- I like Craig quite a bit. Next to my man Connery , and the campy Moore films of the 70's, I'd rank him 3rd. Brosnan- eh. I always think of the Scarecrow and Mrs. King TV show. Dalton I always imagine him dueting with Mae West...

Folks always forget David Niven as Bond in CASINO ROYALE (1967).

yeah I'd agree... even if he always seems to adopt more or less the same aura/personality.
don't think I've ever seen THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, but I did have the computer game on the spectrum

For Connery, I'd have to go with Outland.
Roger Moore. The Sea Wolves.
Timothy Dalton. The Rockerteer.
Pierce Brosnan. I am tempted to put down Mama Mia as a wind up, but I'll go with The Long Good Friday.
Daniel Craig. The Golden Compass.
Daniel Craig - KNIVES OUT.
Sean Connery - THE UNTOUCHABLES and HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER
Piers Brosnan - 3:10 TO YUMA
Two non-Bond George Lazenby movies in my DVD collection are:
* WHO SAW HER DIE? (1972) - Italian Giallo - - and Lazenby's dialogue is dubbed by another actor
* THE MAN FROM HONG KONG (1975) - Co-starring Sammo Hung and "Jimmy" Wang Yu
I said they are Lazenby movies. I didn't say they are GOOD Lazenby movies.

I know I've seen this, but I always get that one, MY DEAR KILLER, WATCH ME WHEN I KILL, and STRIP NUDE FOR YOUR KILLER confused with each other
I still have a sentimental fondness for The Highlander which Connery was in. Munich wasn't bad, with Daniel Craig*. (His cameo torturing the chick in The Force Got Woke was memorable too.)
*My buddy in Austin said, "It was kinda hot when they killed the Dutch assassin when she was mostly nude." I told him he was sick, lol.

^ lol, that looks great. his bobble hat!
Pierce Brosnan - Mrs. Doubtfire or Mars Attacks!
Timothy Dalton - Toy Story 3 or Hot Fuzz
Daniel Craig - Layer Cake, Road to Perdition or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Sean Connery - Murder on the Orient Express, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Rock, Highlander, The Untouchables or The Hunt for Red October
Roger Moore - The Quest
George Lazenby -- not a fan at all
MRS DOUBTFIRE is great, good call!
I haven't seen Hitchcock's MARNIE (1964) for Connery mentioned yet.The HILL (1965) is also a great film.

AKA North Sea Hijack. Sir Roger's character is a bit weird in this, he does needlepoint, he drinks Scotch by the barrel, loves cats but detests women until his life is saved by one. :teddyr:
Quote from: RCMerchant on February 02, 2020, 07:40:05 AMThe HILL (1965) is also a great film.
Marnie is the most difficult Hitchcock film to watch. The characters are not likeable and the whole story is pretty much a downer.

SEAN CONNERY ? That would be
ZARDOZ... :twirl:

For Sean Connery, I definitely recommend The Man Who Would Be King (1975).
