I view the two Dalton Bonds as the last gasp of the Moore/Glen eras, and left hardly any mark at all on the series IMO; GE and the other Brosnan Bonds owe far, far more to DIE HARD IMO.
I think, conversely, that the Brosnan Bonds were something of a continuation of the themes and tones that began in the Dalton era; an era which was, for me, supremely successful. Dalton was not Fleming's Bond in my opinion (for reasons explained elsewhere), however his Bond was a very credible and appealing interpretation of the cinematic Bond. Moreover, Dalton the last gasp of the Moore era?! Pass over whatever you are smoking now!
I also don't see any link CR-Dalton's films, CR is a throwback to the early 60s Bond films IMO and successfully captures that vibe,
I don't see much of a link either, which is why I did not make one. I do not think Casino Royale is a throwback, but I would certainly concur that there is a great sense of nostalgia in and a 'classic feel' to that picture.
whereas Dalton's films were well-intentioned mistakes that were only looking to temper late Moore silliness with a darker tone but hardly embraced anything like an early Bond film paradigm.
There were little creative mis-steps in both the Dalton pictures. Nevertheless I feel you radically overestimate the 'Moore silliness' in those films. The Living Daylights and, especially, Licence to Kill are *far* more serious endeavours; Dalton's Bond and Moore's Bond are almost as divergent as possible. People often point out that the 1987 picture was written with a Moore-esque lead in mind, however the manner in which the humour is conveyed is very, very different from the Moore era. I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'embracing the early Bond film paradigm', but I should contend that the Dalton films did *far* more than temper late Moore silliness. (I should point out that I do not mean to be harsh to Roger Moore at all; there is room for different Bonds for different times).
In a way this point is all moot as Casino Royale *is* revolutionary in a way that The Living Daylights, admittedly, was not. However, I do still think Dalton's first film was an immensely entertaining Cold War thriller, marked the beginning of a new direction (within a set of constraints) and had a *very* strong lead performance in Dalton. Ufnfortunately I cannot vote for it, as I like Casino Royale (and From Russia with Love and On Her Majesty's Secret Service) even more.
As it is a new day here in Europe I will vote again:
1) From Russia With Love [25]
2) Goldfinger [20] - 1 = [19]
3) Thunderball [12]
4) On Her Majesty's Secret Service [22]
5) The Living Daylights [18]

If TB had nothing more going for it than Connery's coolness and Domino's semi-exposed breast in that bathing suit it would still be worthy of high marks in my opinion. As it stands though it features one of the best performances by arguably the best Bond, some great action sequences, a good reality grounded suspenseful plot, the best collection of hotties in any Bond movie, a great score, a great casino scene, the best villainess in the whole series, the Disco Volante et cetera, et cetera.
Again, agree in full. TB is the high-water(no pun intended) mark of the series.
As a staunch guardian of the Dalton legacy I can't hide my satisfaction at the fact that TLD has made it to the top 6 and that its hero has outlived Bros and Sir Roger.
This is to the credit of the honorouable community we call AJB007 (well... at least part of it).
ITA, Mr. Palmer. I've said for years that TLD was the best Bond film post-1970. And if it loses that honor to CR I won't mind too much because it would still mean TLD won the best Bond film between 1970 and 2005 on this poll, and deservedly so.
Nice to see 007 #004 getting some well deserved vindication.

I appreciated this nod-- it helped offset the shock and horror I'm currently experiencing watching TLD soar past TB and CR and approaching GF. If this keeps up I am going to lose what little faith in humanity I have left.
TSWLM's demise must be avenged. TB is going down, and going down hard.

You have my sympathy. Replace the TLD in your sentence with FYEO or GE and I'd know exactly how you feel. As it is, I'm happy however it turns out.
There were little creative mis-steps in both the Dalton pictures. Nevertheless I feel you radically overestimate the 'Moore silliness' in those films.
I'll take my "radically overestimate" over your "little creative mis-steps" anyday. We didn't get the Beach Boys with Dalton, true, but we did get Afghanistan and Kara and Whittaker et al. One almost prefers the Boys, at least it's front and center about being silly, the longer TLD (as well as LTK) went on the sillier it (they) got IMO, and in the end rivalled the silly last halves of any of the Moore/Glen Bonds. But...yes, TLD is an improvement over what had recently come before it, for the reasons you stated.
And agree that the Brosnan Bonds DO continue from the late 80s Bonds, which is a mixed blessing at best IMO and still overshadowed by DIE HARD and EON's keeping up with the Jones, as it were (lol). Hopefully that continuation ended with DAD, and Bond 22 will build on CR instead.
And, sorry about the CR-Dalton's films connect, thought you were going for, we wouldn't have had the former without the latter. I've never understood why a CR-type film couldn't have been made circa '87, or just whenever, other than Cubby's stubborn conviction NOT to make such a Bond film.

Try to imagine CR coming immediately after AVTAK and I think it would have been a markedly different film than the CR we eventually got(and not just because it would have had a different cast). I think there would definitely be Moore comedy leftovers left in. I wonder if Vesper even would have died at the end? We might even have had a "happy" ending. I do admit the idea of a 1980s CR with Dalton as Bond, Rachel Ward as Vesper and Alan Rickman as Le Chiffre and using the U.S.S.R. instead of Mr. White's organization as the villains, a music score composed by John Barry and a script by Richard Maibaum does sound interesting.

I think that they started making them more serious in the Moore Era starting with FYEO. OP is a bit jokey, but watch AVTAK. Leave all your problems with Stacey and Moore's age aside (and all the other things) and you'll find it's a very serious and dark movie.
The only lighthearted part may be the part in Paris, but even then it isn't. Listen to Barry's score, not a light moment to be found, everything is tense or dark, and during the love themes, the Stacey tracks, have this haunting quality (ruined by that stupid flautist's heavy breathing...).
The firetruck chase is outlandish of course, but even during your "Flemingesque" outings, there are equally outlandish moments, the Ice Chase in TLD, the wheelie-popping tanker truck in SmelLTK, etc.
Goldfinger has a much lighter tone than AVTAK. Zorin is way creepier and more chilling and threatening than Auric Goldfinger will ever be. Both Oddjob and May Day are dangerous, but May Day is a bit more realistic (and Oddjob didn't have Jenny Flex as an assistant) and therefore seems more dangerous, while Oddjob may strike more fear, he's a bit more of a fantastical image now that he's been iconocized in the world's culture.
The oil rig sequence? Very dark, tense and dramatic, especially the killing of Klotkoff, throwing him into the industrial underwater fan with blood pooling everywhere and cutting to Conley looking at the clogged intake valves gives me a chilly feeling every time. And the mine sequence is infamous for being chilling, Zorin taking psychotic glee in murdering his own men when he didn't have to, all because he needed to fulfill his homicidal tendencies. The flooding that follows is destructive and action packed, and while Bond and May Day navigate about to beat the bomb's explosion is equally suspenseful, helped by Barry's music, and the sorrow you feel when seeing Pan Ho being washed away and poor Jenny's dead body floating in the waters.
The Golden Gate Bridge fight is a tense, thrilling and breathtaking sequence, where even though you know Bond is going to win, you're still on the edge of your seat whenever Zorin, Bond or Stacey are near to falling off the thing completely.
Stacey, while all hate her, is played fine and correctly by Tanya Roberts. She's an average woman, she's no agent, doctor or stunt pilot, but a state geologist with a rich family history and recently ran into trouble when Zorin tried overtaking her corporation and bribing her to drop her investigations and the lawsuits. She's a real woman faced with real problems and has real emotions and isn't like the trained secret agents Bond has met up with.
Moore does his job as a world-weary spy and his relationship and chemistry with Patrick Macnee are wonderful while onscreen. The distress he has when Tibbett and Chuck Lee are killed are hallmarks in the movie and all of his scenes with Zorin are tinged with malice and disgust, especially during the City Hall sequence.
Many people say AVTAK is a joke because they think Roberts is a bimbo, Jones is weird and Moore is old, but they're only watching the surface and aren't delving into the deeper points of the movie that make it the great adventure that it is.
Damn but you almost made a convert of me, JFF...almost. Nicely put forth, well done.

I'm sold. Or, I would be, if I didn't already love that movie to death, quite against the grain on these forums I have observed (I even took the name on these forums of one of Bond's aliases on that film, obviously).
AVTAK is routinely debunked as being a "comic strip" Bond, and I can't figure out why. You point out many good reasons why it isn't.The fight on the GGB at the end is one of my all-time favorite scenes, a little over the top maybe, but no more over the top than the underwater scenes on Thunderball.

TLD may be influential, or not, but IMO it was still the second worst Bond film of all time. (In fact, the idea of TLD having an influence on the Brosnan films horrifies me. )
