If you could do your own Bond-a-thon, by order of actor...

OK if you had an opportunity to watch all 23 films, but had the option of choosing the order of the different actors' eras you would watch, what would your viewing list look like? (The stipulation is that the whole of the actor's era MUST be viewed, so all 6 of Connery's contribution would be together.)

Mine would be:

Connery era - he was the original; he MUST be first
Dalton's 2 - more Flemingesque, before we get to the silly stuff
OHMSS - need something lighter after LTK
Moore era - occasional silliness, but some light-hearted fun
Craig era - back to the serious stuff
Brosnan era - end with the more escapist stuff, though I may cheat a bit here and watch DAD before TWINE :)) :D

    If I couldn't watch the films in order of production, I would watch them in order of actors, with OHMSS after DAF.

    I agree with Matt S, on the switch with DAF and OHMSS, followed
    By the Moore films. I'd then go with the Brosnan era ( same style as Roger).
    Then ending with Dalton and Craig.
    Probably doesn't make sense, by time line etc, but for mood and style of films
    Connery/Lazenby, classic films
    Moore/ Brosnan, lighter in tone, very entertaining.
    Dalton/Craig, a harder edge, and darker in mood. :)

    imo watching the Bonds not in the order of production - it's not a proper Bond-a-thon.

    Although you could break them up into selections, such as ...

    Water based Bond films or
    Snow /ski chase films ....
    Gadget filled epics... Etc. ;)

    May not be "Proper" ( Granddad) but it's contemporary thinking, from
    Young minds. Like fusion cuisine or pot noodle ! :D

    Same here, love to do Bond-a-thons. But it has to be done in regular order if you ask me! With the exception of having to switch those two movies up in this case.

    Ha! Well... as it's entirely feasible that I could become a Granddad anytime from here on in, I can't really argue with being put in the Granddad club. :s

    And, it's equally damning that most of my top favourite Bond films are from the 1960s.

    I'm just glad to be in such good company...

    :D Two of my top favourites are Casino Royale and Skyfall. Another two are Roger Moore films. Does that mitigate my Dark Side leanings?
