    For me its between Goldfinger

    and

    Alec Trevelyan

    Trevelyan just shades it for me because sean bean is a great actor and also due to goldfinger being parodied to death.

    whats yours ?

    Considering his excessive drinking, and inability to love a woman, Id say Bond is his own worst villan

    donald pleasance in you only live twice , campy as hell and without him , thier could never have been a dr evil

    goldfinger was a top villian , as was stromberg in the spy who loved me , rosa klebb in from russia with love was another dastardly foe for 007, weakest bond villian by far was the guy who was pricking around , looking for water in quantum of sollace

    I've never been that taken with chief Bond villans to be honest, they often lack something so the sidekicks usually come off better. Robert Shaw as Donald Grant in from Russia With Love is an example.

    Christopher Lee as The Man with the Golden Gun by longshot for me. That's my favourite Bond movie too.

    really , its one of my worst , only diamonds are forever , die another day and never say never again ( not officially a bond ) are lower on my list

    Was in HMV today and their selling off the Bond boxset for 69.99. With 3 days off next week I'm considering it. :pac: (Only ever seen the Brosnan era movies)

    I have always had a bit of a man crush on Sean Bean so I'm gonna go for him in goldeneye.

    Dr No in the first movie was a good villain.

    Jasus your missing out only watching brosnans films . Goldeney is the only good one. Watch Connery hes brilliant and my favourite is rodger moore he's the funniest bond and makes the charachter his own. Craigs more badass and his films are kinda like the bourne movies. Anyway another classic bond film has to be max zorran played by the brilliant Christopher walken

    This made me laugh out loud! :)

    Slightly off topic here, but i've seen all the onds but as a kid. The only ones I really remember well are the more modern ones.

    My question is, if I was to get the Bond collection and started to watch them in order..... would I start to get bored soon? I mean, i've heard a few people say that for every good Bond movie there's a horrible dud!

    Yea on her majesistys secret service is a dud for me. it came straight after connerys and stars George lazebey who only made one movie as bond. rodger Moore has the odd dud but he's a great bond IMO. timothy daltons films are good IMO and very dark while a lot of fans were turned of by this I loved them. brosnans only good film as bond is goldeneye IMO and the others are just average and to far fetched even for a bond movie. if you like the bourne movies you will love craigs movies

    Jaws :pac:

    le chiffre imo had all the potential to be the greatest bond villian ever if it wasnt for the way they got rid of him which was ****e.

    Nah, it has to be Jaws. No brains, but very scary when you're 10.

    ^^^^

    He has a legitimate complaint and I like two-faced characters in general.

    Hope Daniel Craig's nu-Bond will get a villain who thinks on the same level as him. Don't think Scaramanga or Trevelyan ever quite got to the point of being able to match Bond one on one.

    Trevelyan went toe to toe with brosnans bond at the end of Goldeneye in what i view as the greatest fight in all the bond films. the personal hatred between two former best friends is why i feel hes the greatest villain.

    The N64 version was nothing to sneer at either. ;)

    006 was a great villian, moving away from the typical billionaire bad guy looking for world domination. Trevelyns parents were slaughtered, trained by the British, fought with Bond, then betrayed everyone.

    He has lived Bonds life and chose a path Bond could have taken himself, you could say hes his bad twin, he his the villain who knew the most about 007.

    "I might as well ask if all those martinis silence the screams of all the men you've killed... or if you've found forgiveness in the arms of all those willing women for the ones you failed to protect?"
