Nice observations on the unique qualities Moore brought to the character. No matter what one thinks of some of the movies during his tenure as 007, he brought a continuity to the series that I think was important. Seven movies over about 14 years was it? I hate to think what would have happened over the same period if it was like today with a new Bond every couple of movies or so it seems. Roger Moore Bond movies actually had more of an impact on me being that they coincided with some coming of age milestones for me, so they will always be linked in my mind for that. "Live and Let Die" when starting High School and the McCartney theme all over the radio at that time. Then "The Man With the Golden Gun" after that (was it?). And "The Spy Who Loved Me" when I was starting college. That was still when the Bond movies were big events that everyone anticipated. Again, the theme playing on the radio with Carly Simon--who's voice I always liked. There are things that will always make you remember where you were, and hearing those theme songs still take me back instantly. I will have to do my own "Bond fest" sometime, since it has been a long time since I saw those. I want to say that my favorite Roger Moore film is between "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "For Your Eyes Only". But like I said, it would be fun to see them all again in order, and to see how much my opinions or tastes may have changed in the meantime.
