Favourite Connery-era Villain?

Pretty self explanatory. Pretty hard to choose.

Can't choose ... toss-up between Dr. No, Goldfinger and Pleasance's Blofeld.

My least favourite is probably Grey's Blofeld ... I get how it's in line with DAF's overall camp absurdity, but Blofeld in drag is somewhat of a low point IMHO.

Rosa Klebb for me, but all of Connery's first five villains are excellent.

I agree with this, despite some excellent dialogue.

Cor, tricky tricky. All have merit, though I guess Gray lags behind a bit. Pleasance for his dispatching of people, Klebb for her sinister ways... if she was here, I'd have voted for Fiona methinks. The female is the deadlier of the species.

Klebb. She edges Goldfinger by a boot flick.

I might do a henchperson poll, but this one is proving less popular than I thought.

I had to go with Auric, he's bad to the bone and you are happy he gets his comeuppance but you also can't help but smile every time he's on screen. There are so many memorable moments but special mention for me is the one where effortlessly becomes a US army captain in order to escape - simple yet brilliant, surprising yet totally in character.
