Ah, so many Bond memories... and the music! The Best of Bond is one of my favorite soundtracks--every song a hit! The first movie I ever saw was a James Bond movie, but I wont' say which one lest I date myself.
I know it's anathema to say this but Connery is not my favorite Bond. Yes, he was great but Roger Moore is my Bond. I love that opening scene in (I forget which movie) where he is flying a mini plane that is about to run out of fuel... he lands it on a local street, coasts into a gas station and the attended walks out with a shocked look on his face at seeing a mini plane pull up. Moore looks up at him and says, "Fill her up." Then the opening credits begin!
