It's been a while since I've seen most of them but here's my list
1. Casino Royale (Not only the best Bond movie, but a really damn god movie by itself)
2. Goldeneye (Bond steps into the modern age)
3. Licence to Kill (Bond goes on a revenge rampage)
4. Goldfinger (Oddjob, nuf said)
5. Tomorrow Never Dies (The main villan was weak but the rest of the movie IMHO is really good.)

My favorite is Moonraker hands down....
a) Lois Chiles is hot & smart
b) Jaws is great in it
c) Corinne Clery is hot
d) The opening with the shuttle blasting off from the 747 is awesome
e) Moore's freefall from the private jet in the beginning is one of the best ever filmed.
f) Drax's space station is cool
g) Drax's girls and big snake in Brazil
h) Space shuttle's flying and docking are great
i) The receptionist in Rome is hot.
j) Great humor with the "close encounters" ring for the security pad at the poison lab.
k) Vandenburg teams' EVA with laser rifles fighting against Drax's men in space
l) Best closing lines....Minister says " It appears Bond is attempting re-entry", and Dr. Goodhead says "Take me around the world one more time James."
The next 4 I like are :
Goldfinger
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice
From Russia With Love

Here is my opinion, and it's the right one concerning the best James Bond movies:
1) Goldfinger
2) From Russia with love
3) The world is not enough
4) Die another day
5) Casino Royal
I've seen Casino Royal and I must tell you that at the end of the movie when Craig says " My name is Bond, James Bond" he earned it. This is a must see for all true Bond lovers.

What kind of villain has a third nipple? He has millions in criminal assets; he owns his own island. Get some cosmetic surgery! The movie wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t the best.
In general, Moore was a terrible Bond, far too conservative and staunchly. He's more like Bond's butler. Connery is the reigning king of all things Bond.
Never Say Never Again was not a real Bond film. It was a non-EON remake of Thunderball. Now I won’t say that it is a bad film, but it is on my short list of the worst Bond films, ever. First of all, it’s old Bond. Who wants to see old Bond? Second, it’s a remake of Thunderball – the single greatest Bond film in history. Just watch Thunderball, for crying out loud! Thirdly, it’s a gimmick. The success of the whole film was based squarely on the notion that Connery could be persuaded to do another Bond film if he was paid enough – so what!?! I’ll dance naked on a water heater if you pay me enough. So they made their point: big deal; I’ll stick with the real Bond films.

Quote:I agree to a point- but I do like Brosnan's take, different...somewhat deeper.

Quote:He was still in pretty good shape, heh heh.

Quote:You are argueably correct; getting Thunderball made me sell my copy of Never Say Never Again.
