Okay, so he's never gonna be Bond, but what movies of his do you enjoy?
Personally, I love The International. Not only is he great in it, it's just a GREAT movie IMO!
Thoughts?
Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    When I read the topic I suddenly thought of the International as well! Fantastic fight scene in the Guggenheim museum.
    Different type of film but Gosford Park is fantastic. Downton Abbey type murder mystery.

    Oh that's great!
    Lot of big names in the film, Derek Jacobi, Helen mirren etc.
    would love to hear your thoughts on it

    I watched Shoot 'em up a couple of years ago, it has one subtle reference of Owen being a Bond candidate. Plus, Monica Bellucci is not too bad either :D

    I also enjoy "Shoot'em up" a lot. Pure action mayhem. :))

    it really is a blood-fest.

    does anybody think he would have made a good Bond?

    I watched it twice- I just can't warm to it (outside of Monica, WHOAH!!!!). If it was just a little more serious...

    I'm not sure if he would have made a good Bond. If he had served as Bond 1995-2002, I imagine he would have been a more interesting and edgy Bond than Brosnan. But he would have to train more and get a better posture. Neither is his voice the best - it often sounds too flat.

    Children of Men is a superb film and Owen is great in it...

    It is indeed, Owen could have been a great Bond. Like many others, who were
    considered but didn't get the part.

    Oh yeah, that's a good one. Michael Caine is cool in it also.

    And yes, I think he'd have made a very good Bond.

    Never gonna be Bond? What a missed opportunity!

    I like him but my other half always said he isn't good looking enough to be Bond (maybe dashing was he word) :))

    Strange... I'd struggle to find a better looking/more dashing British actor today.

    Is Owen not at least Craig's equal in the 'dashing' dept.? :v

    Although I think it speaks volumes for British cinema, that When
    Sir Roger got the role of 007. The cupboard was almost bare of
    Other contemporary young British actors who could have convincingly
    done it. While now, there are so many talented British actors who could
    play Bond. -{

    Watched 'The International' this evening and can whole heartedly agree, fine performance from Clive Owen and a great film with a good story line {[]
    Highly recommend it if you want two hours of action and suspense.

    Glad you enjoyed it! It's totally my favourite spy flick outside of Bond. {[]
