Roger Moore has died aged 89.

A statement on his official Twitter read: "With the heaviest of hearts, we must share the awful news that our father, Sir Roger Moore, passed away today. We are all devastated."

It's sad to see the legends go, but 89 is a good run. He was my Generations's Bond.

RIP.

I never thought he was the best Bond, but I grew up during his reign and always enjoyed his movies. My favorite was For Your Eyes Only. From the movie Moonraker, I always laugh at the scene where Jaws is chasing Bond and Goodhead on the ski slope lift, and he tells her, "His name's Jaws. He kills people." Roger Moore could deliver a cheesy line in such a way that even though you knew it was cheesy, it was just funny as hell.

His Bond movies were the ones that were always on TV when I was a kid in the 80's, so first image of Bond.

Only negative was that he led a generation of impressionable young men to think they could run across the backs of crocodiles without getting hurt. All these years later, I can still feel that foot itching.

Moore was the Bond that introduced me to the series.

I have great memories of going with my brother and my Dad to the theater to see The Spy Who Loved Me, my first Bond film. While I would catch up on the older movies whenever ABC would show one on their Sunday Night Movie, the Moore movies I would watch dozens of times when they would come out on pay cable.

For Your Eyes Only is probably a Top 5 Bond movie for me. It's Moore at his finest: Charming, funny and yet serious when he needs to be. The ski sequences from this film are something I've desperately wanted the future Bonds to have. Can we please get Daniel Craig on some goddam skis???

I also greatly admired that Moore never turned away from his role as Bond and always graciously talked about his experiences.

Also the Bond I grew up with. Only later did I see the Connery films.

And i recognize the cheesiness of that era Bond films, but I love them anyway and seeing them is wonderfully nostalgic.
