1. Sean ConneryIt would be a mistake to have anyone but Connery top a Bond list, but that's not because of any nostalgia or blind worship. The Scotsman deserves all the accolades he gets. The man's hair was impeccably coiffed, he barely spoke above a sensual murmur, and he never broke a sweat, not even when Goldfinger was glazing his testicles with an agonizingly slow-moving laser. He is the paragon of suaveness; the ruler by which we measure all things suave.2. Pierce BrosnanBrosnan may not have been blessed with the greatest Bond movies, but there's a reason the producers spent years trying to get him to don the tux. Brosnan does exude a certain smirking charisma, whether he's being tortured in North Korea or showering with beautiful spies in Ho Chi Minh City. Not everybody can be turned into a demented large-headed video game avatar and come out the other side still leeching cool from every pore.
