For Bond actors who have done at least 2 films, which is the most interesting on-screen romantic relationship for each actor. My list:
* SC - with Domino (TB)
* RM - with Solitaire (LALD) .... 007-XXX in TSWLM was interesting too
* TD - with Pam (LTK)
* PB - with Elektra (TWINE)
* DC - with Swann (SP)

Brosnan-Yeoh is more appropriate for the wooden relationship category
That one had no sparkle between them.
Connery - Honey
Lazenby - Tracey
Moore - Octopussy
Dalton - Kara
Pierce - Electra
Craig - Vesper
Lazenby - Tracy
Moore - Solitaire
Dalton - nobody
Brosnan - Paris
Craig - M
Connery - Domino
Lazenby - Tracy (probably one of the picks of the bunch)
Moore - XXX
Dalton - Lupe. I do think he's got good chemistry with both Kara and Pam, but Lupe to me really wants to f88k Bond.
Brosnan - Elektra
Craig - Madeline, perhaps with Solange a close 2nd.
Worst:
Connery - Kissy
Moore - Stacey
Dalton - Leiter girls
Brosnan - Wai Lin
Craig - Vesper
I know Vesper will piss a few people off, but it's a romance by numbers {:)
"Better make that two."
Lazenby - well, gee, um, let me have a think about that...
Moore - Octopussy
Dalton - Kara (TLD)
Brosnan - Paris Carver (TND)
Craig - haven't seen CR or SP, so I can't really make an informed decision
You pick this as the most interesting ROMANTIC relationship?????
Which M, by the way?
-Solitaire
-Goodnight
-Anya
-Melina
-Octopussy
Were all outstanding and probably most interesting with
Craig- Vesper
Craig- Swann
George- Tracy
Dalton- Kara
-Casino Royale, Ian Fleming
In LTK, we had two girls competing for TD (similar to situation in TMWTGG)
Craig-M -> In SP, may be M was angry with Bond because Bond went to MX on holiday w/o him
Lupe is similar to Andreas character in TMWTGG and Pam to GN's. ... Pam seems to put more on the line for Bond. Lupe had eloped before. .... Still it is a tough choice but Q approved Pam
I did not know that Dalton had a "relationship" with Leiter girls
Bond can be too secretive at times
Dirty, Old Uncle James !
Moore - Anya. Although I find her to be a wooden actress the fact that Bond killed her lover gives their relationship an edge. When Anya discovers the truth, the scene is very well played (especially by Roger).
Dalton - Kara. The fact that Bond only has eyes for one woman over the entire film is interesting in itself! Dalton is probably not a great romantic leading man but his romance with Kara feels genuine and heartfelt.
Brosnan - Elektra. Easily the most interesting romance of Brosnan's Bond girls. Mainly due to the deceitful Elektra. Their scenes together are some of the best in the whole film.
Craig - Vesper. Their romance has it's critics and I agree some of their dialogue can sound stilted but the relationship between the two is always intriguing right up to the tragic finale.

"Better make that two."
Moore- Solitary
Dalton- Pam
Brosnan- Elektra
Craig- Vesper
Moore: Melina Havelock
Dalton: Pam Bouvier
Brosnan: Elektra King
Craig: Madeleine Swann
Strong arguments to be made for all of those :007) Currently I'd give the edge to Vesper with Craig...but that could change soon :v

Connery - Pussy
Moore - Goodhead
Dalton - Kara
Brosnan - Jones
Craig - Swann
But I could change my mind on this.

But people still discuss what their favorite ice cream is .... Btw, mine is chocolate
I'm glad you think so. I know a lot of people don't like Melina, but the way Bond deals with her in a very sympathetic way I find very interesting. It reminds me of the kind of relationships Moore often had in The Saint. Carole Bouquet doesn't play it the most convincingly all the time, but Moore certainly does. Their relationship is well-written. Perhaps it would have been better if they didn't follow the formula at the end and sleep together and had more of a QOS-like ending, but it doesn't ruin it for me.
Yes, but such comparisons in the Bond universe are unfair. Looks how many girls Connery had, and compare it with Lazenby or Dalton... not fair, I say again.
At the end of the day, we are picking only one so it does not matter how many choices each actor has. For e.g. I would pick a jeans after going to 5 stores. You could pick a jeans after going to 2 stores. At the end, we both have 1 jeans each. And we are not even comparing our jeans
Interesting you pick Octopussy for Moore, not sure I'd disagree with that choice (Moore benefited from having so many and varied romances, from virgins to much older women. Mayday sticks out as an interesting relationship too IMO.
Nice to see you, blue {[]
