James Bond Movie Posters From The Roger Moore Era

The first James Bond movie I ever saw was For Your Eyes Only, which was released in 1981. I saw it at my local drive-in. It was actually the last movie I ever saw there. I loved this movie so much. It was my introduction to the world of 007. I was around 10 when I saw it. I have seen every Bond movie since then at the theater. I would go on to see the previous ones either on television or video. While Sean Connery is my favorite Bond, I'll always have a special place in my heart for Roger Moore. Plus Moore is actually the favorite Bond of both of my siblings. Here are some posters from the seven Bond films that Roger Moore made from 1973 to 1985. Which is your favorite?

Live And Let Die (1973)

The Man With The Golden Gun (1974)

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

P.S. I hope you'll check out my latest post at Celluloid Slammer. It's a video featuring some very sexy Playboy Bunnies. If I could make my own time machine, I would definitely be visiting some of the Playboy Clubs of the past. Please feel free to leave some comments on that blog post. I'd love to know what you think of that video. Thanks.

    Man With The Golden Gun, you just don't get artwork like that anymore! He is definitely my second favourite after Connery. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend :)

    Sick selection of eye poppin' one sheet posters for Mr. Moore as 007! Remember a bunch of hubbub about the For Your Eyes Only poster during the films release, with some theaters censoring the buttocks.

  11. KeithSeptember 27, 2009 at 2:00 PM

    Hey E.K. No, I was okay with them. LOL Sean Connery is my favorite Bond. I like Roger Moore, but he's no Connery.

    Without a doubt: "Live and Let Die" and "A View to a Kill". I like Roger - we share the same birthday! It is my dream some day to own every single James Bond film on DVD - I'd even buy "On her Majesty's Secret Service" even though it's my least favourite.

    I just love these posters, it's hard to pick a fav movie but I think I really liked A View to A Kill. Duran Duran sang the song which I liked too. Though Sean is my fav overall Bond. mmmm maybe Craig is giving him a run for his money.

    The Spy Who Loved is my fave (and a great soundtrack too) when I saw it at the cinema the entire audience clapped as the Union Jack parachute opened - Live and Let Die was the first Bond film I saw at the pictures

  47. KeithSeptember 28, 2009 at 9:54 AM

    Hey Dave. I love The Spy Who Loved Me. BBC America was doing a marathon of Moore's Bond movies. That's so cool about the audience cheering when the Union Jack come up. I do love that flag.

    Love the early 70's Roger Moore Bond. Connery is still on the tops though. This new kid ain't half bad either...but nothing can compare to 60's & 70's spies.

  49. KeithSeptember 28, 2009 at 10:33 AM

    Hey Chris. Thanks. Yeah, the 60's belonged to Connery and the 70's to Moore. I like Craig, but there's nothing like classic Bond.
