Despite the dandy, effete playboy Bond he played, he is still my favorite second only to Craig.
I loved my die-cast metal 007 Lotus Espirit toy almost more than my Star Wars toys when I was a little kid.

+1 My sentiments exactly. But to be fair, it's hard to be a good bond in the 1970's asinine clothes they made him wear.

One of my favorite actors. He had a way of bringing humor to all of his roles even the serious ones. My youth memory of him is as cousin Beau in Maverick

Me, too. Except I watched w my mom. She loved him.

I'll always remember Moore for his role in ffolks and the Wild Geese.
This is exactly it.

Octopussy chase scene, Moore/Bond stole an Alfa Romeo GTV-6. I owned one, bought it several months before the movie came out. As a car, it was not very impressive, but it made a nice Italian V-6 sound:

Roger Moore was James Bond for me. RIP, sir.

Loved Roger as The Saint, sorry to hear he had passed. As others have stated, played a great part in The Wild Geese

One of his more (no pun intended) obscure roles that I really enjoyed....

The Bond I grew up with and an actor I really enjoyed watching. My favorite Bond of all and a great actor in other roles as well. Godspeed Sir Roger Moore.
