Favorite Bond Movie: Moonraker Goldfinger The Spy Who Loved Me
Favorite Movies: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Crazy For Christmas, The Empire Strikes Back, League of Gentlemen (1960's British film), Big Trouble in Little China, Police Academy 2, Carry On At Your Convenience, Commando, Halloween III: Season of the Witch,
One scene in particular in Casino Royale captures Fleming's post-battle Bond perfectly, even though it doesn't originate from the novel: Bond, visibly shaken after dispatching an enemy, ripping his bloodied shirt off, cleaning his wounds, gratefully swallowing a glassful of whisky and then staring in numbed contemplation at his haggard reflection in a hotel-room mirror.
Running through a wall is probably Flemingesque too.
Favorite Bond Movie: Octopussy From Russia With Love The Living Daylights On Her Majestys Secret Service Doctor No .... Ah heck all of them
Favorite Movies: Lawrence Of Arabia, Forrest Gump, Jaws, The Shawshank Redemption, Vertigo, The Odd Couple, Zoolander, Cool Hand Luke, The Great Escape...many more.
Location: Well here obviously. At the moment of course

You just don't get the Fleming Bond though Dom, that's okay.
You prefer the more cinematic Bond.Which is fine.
But everyone sees Bond differently, and each of the Bond actors puts a different spin on the character. Like Dalton before him, Daniel Craig is going back to the roots and origin of Bond more.
Lest this might make it appear that Casino Royale is unremittingly grim, the film is in fact the most genuinely witty Bond for many years, and Craig shows a deftness in the lighter moments which even his most ardent supporters might find a surprise. Bond and the lead female character Vesper Lynd's initial verbal sparring and sizing each other up (quite literally in Vesper's case) plays out with the panache of something from a Howard Hawks film...
Favorite Movies: Bullitt, The Long Good Friday, The Towering Inferno, Jaws, Rocky, Superman the Movie, McVicar, Goodfellas, Get Carter, Three Days of the Condor, Butch & Sundance, The Sting, All the Presidents Men
