Who was the best director

I'll start off: John Glen. Had knew what to do with Moore and Dalton, and could clearly DK light hearted and dark films. I also like Lewis Gilbert; he made the 'big' films that were over TTD top films, and these were done well. Also a mention to Roger Spottiswoode, who only did TND, as I think TND is a 'perfect' Bond film, getting in everything a bond film should have.

    Definitly Terence Young. He was Bond. He had a knowledge of fine food and drink and a fine taste in suits. He actually told Sean to sleep in his suit to wear it in.

    His methods of direction are cool. I like the screen wipe transition technique he used in Thunderball and i believe the way he introduced Bond was borrowed from a film made in the 1930's
    Have you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?"

    My vote goes to Young. He created the genre. He was the originator, the emancipator, the innovator, the architect. Wait, that was Little Richard.

    Still, though.

    Difficult to single one out... I can't so go for Terence Young, Peter Hunt, Martin Campbell & Sam Mendes (with an honourable mention to Guy Hamilton for GOLDFINGER)

    I would have to say Terence Young, but John Glen is a very close second.

    Honourable mention for Martin Campbell & Guy Hamilton.
