Bond: (very nervous) "Do you expect me to talk, Goldfinger?"
Goldfinger: (with a laugh) "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die !!!"

That's a great quote and one of the most copied other than "Bond, James Bond" and "Shaken, not stirred"-And much more menacing...

I voted Connery, but Peter Sellers is still the best actor ever to play Bond............

I keep telling people Peter Sellers was my favorite Bond. Most of them don't know about the unoffical older Casino Royale. Truly an oddball movie.

But of the official Bond movies--my favorite is From Russia With Love.
That Rosa Klebb is scary...

she wasn't always so scary:


her knife in the shoe trick:

That's why she was scary.

If you think the knife was scary - you should hear her sing! Lotte Lenya was regarded as one of the best interpreters of her husbands songs, but her time and pitch can take a bit of getting used to.

Oh, and for those who don't know her husband, he was none other than Kurt Weill, composer of the Threepenny Opera. In other words, the guy who wrote "Mack the Knife".

I've heard her sing--I have a song by her on a tape somewhere.

I'll have to sort through all my old cassettes to find it.
