Topic: Rank the 7 Main Moore Girls
If this topic takes off, I might start one for the other actors in the near future (but combine Lazenby with Dalton for obvious reasons).
So, how would you rank order the main bond girl of each of Moore's 7 films?
Here's mine:
1 - Solitaire (LALD)
I think she's an excellent bond girl, and has always been my second favourite ever after Honey Rider. I don't mind the tarot card story, and thought Solitaire was not only gorgeous but pretty well acted too.
2 - Melina Havelock (FYEO)
Besides the ridiculous close up shot of her face with the greek music when she whitnesses her parent's death, I thought she was a pretty solid bond girl. Assertive, good looking, and has a real motive.
3 - Octopussy (OP)
She's not exactly a favourite, but she's ok and plays a significant role.
4 - Anya Amasova (TSWLM)
I assume many people will rank her higher. I honestly can't see why. On the plus side she's an ok bond girl who is assertive, plays a key role, competitive with bond and so on. But I didn't like her wooden acting. She seemed emotionless. I know spies are often like that, but to me it seemed more of a case of bad acting - sorry barbara fans!
5 - Mary Goodnight (TMWTGG)
She was obviously a poor bond girl, but I'm ranking her here for comedy reasons.
6 - Stacey Sutton (AVTAK)
Ok, she is not very good. As a huge AVTAK fan, I have never denied what people say about stacey. But you know what, I still didn't think she was THAT bad. Not bad enough to spoil the film for me by any means. A poor bond girl, but I do think there's worse.
7 - Holly Goodhead (MR)
She had potential. But her pathetic wooden acting just spoils any potential she had. I'm surprised that she doesn't get more hate. The woman can't bloody act. Either that or she was underacting on purpose. "Hang on James"...
1 - Moore, 2 - Dalton, 3 - Craig, 4 - Connery, 5 - Brosnan, 6 - Lazenby
