Poor Timothy Dalton always gets overlooked when it comes to debating the best James Bond to have ever donned a tuxedo, necked a shaken-not-stirred martini, gotten the girl, and saved the world. The actor wasn’t even the first choice to lead The Living Daylights, with eventual 007 Pierce Brosnan unable to get out of his contract for TV show Remington Steele, but the Dalton duology have always been sorely underrated installments.

After the high camp and rising cheese factor of the Roger Moore era, Dalton’s Bond was ahead of his time. He was damaged, bitter and always carried a hint of danger, but having a brief two-film stint as the iconic secret agent didn’t give the actor enough of an opportunity to show what he could really do.
