The Best Bond Movie

After seeing a thread regarding Mr. Bond, and which actor portrayed him the best, I thought I should post a thread regarding the best and worst Bond MOVIE.

Since their are nearly 20 Bond movies (as long as you don't count Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again) I have decided to split this into four categories: The Connery films, the Moore films, the Brosnan films, and the other films (Dalton and Lazenby).

Here are my picks:

CONNERY:
Best: Goldfinger
Worst: From Russia With Love (too boring)

MOORE:
Best: The Spy Who Loved Me
Worst: Moonraker (Bond in space?)

BROSNAN:
Best: Goldeneye
Worst: World Is Not Enough (only because of Denise Richards)

OTHERS:
Best: Living Daylights
Worst: On Her Majesty's Secret Service (only because of Lazenby)

 

The best Bond film will be the one in which I play Bond.

 

Eeep! I think I need to see more Bond movies.

Of the ones I've seen, my favorite is Tomorrow Never Dies (The parking garage sequence is one of my favorites of the entire series...)

 

The Living Daylights--I love that car.

 

Maybe I should post all of the Bond movies, in order, so that the council members can pick and choose:

CONNERY:
Dr. No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice
Diamonds Are Forever

LAZENBY:
On Her Majesty's Secret Service

MOORE:
Live and Let Die
The Man with the Golden Gun
The Spy Who Loved Me
Moonraker
For Your Eyes Only
Octopussy
A View to a Kill

DALTON:
The Living Daylights
License To Kill

BROSNAN:
Goldeneye
Tomorrow Never Dies
The World is Not Enough
Bond 20 (not yet made)

 

My Favorites,

CONNERY:
Goldfinger

MOORE:
The Man with the Golden Gun


DALTON:
The Living Daylights

BROSNAN:
Goldeneye

 

I've always been partial to Octopussey. It has the best opening song with "All time High" Cool vilains, not to mention a private island of women.

 

Connery
best - Goldfinger
worst - Thunderball

Moore
best - The Spy Who Loved Me
worst - Moonraker

Brosnan
best - Goldeneye
worst - Tomorrow Never Dies

Dalton
best - The Living Daylights
worst - License To Kill

Lanzenby
best - On Her Majesty's Secret Service
worst - On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Other
best - Never Say Never Again
worst - Casino Royale

 

You call yourselves Bond fans?

You forgot to list Never Say Never Again.

Sure, it's a remake of Thunderball and it's not an MGM film but it is a Bond Movie. Don't forget it.

 

Connery: You Only Live Twice

Dalton: The Living Daylights

Brosnan: The World Is Not Enough

 

The best Bond music video is the Duran Duran one. I think it was "A view to a kill", big hair and the music video was even more exciting than the movie.

I have to watch all of them at a go to decide, which is something I promised myself to do one of these days...

 

Meeting you....with a view...to a kill.

Secret faces.....place to places...feel the chill.

 

*Insert cool sound effect here*

 

Goldeneye is my favorite, althought I haven't seen about half of all the Bond movies.

 

Yeesh, why do people dislike MOONRAKER? I think it's my favorite of ALL Bond eras!

 

Well, From Russia With Love is probably one of the best of all time. Its a true spy game.

Goldfinger of course is a classic.

Thunderball, another one of my faves.

OHMSS, eventhough it has Lazenby its still a good one.

 

The Man with the Golden Gun.

 

Wow, On Her Majesty's Secret Service is actually one of my favorite Bond films. To each his own, I guess.

My favorite Connery: Dr No

Favortie Moore: Moonraker (believe it or not)

I don't feel that Dalton's or Bronsan's compare.

 

Connerry:
Best: Goldfinger
Worst: Too hard to call as all connerry flicks are excellent but id have to go with Diamonds are forever.

Moore:
Best: For Your Eyes Only (one of the best plots and The Hottest bond girl)
Worst: Moonraker(could be one of the worst movies of all time)

Dalton:
both movies were rather bland

Brosnan;
Best Goldeneye
Worst The world is not enough
While he makes a good bond the movies lack something

Best of the Rest
On her majesty's secret service. Possibly my favorite bond flick and defiantely the most underrated. Lazenby does a good job in my opinion. The flick also has an excellent plot, a bevy of beauties, bond pretends he is gay, and its the only movie where he shows his emotions. He actually is in love.
The best line "This never happened to the other fellow"
Also the soundtrack is great to drive to.
Thunderball: So over the top its great plus youve got domino, who is friggin gorgeous.

live and let die:
second best moore movie, with cool villains jane seymour at her hottest and bond takes her virginity. Plus he goes to seventies harlem, doesnt get much cooler.

Worst:
A view to a kill, despite christopher walken a very weak movie.
the Spy who loved me, i hated when they tried to make it tooo campy

 

You know, even though I posted OHMSS as the "worst of the others", I still thought it was a good Bond movie, although a very different Bond movie. The producers took a chance with this one, having Bond fall in love, only to have his wife killed at the end. Not a happy ending at all. It really is an underated movie, and I retract my earlier statements.

I agree with Moonraker being one of the worst movies ever made. For Your Eyes Only I think was Moore's second best. One thing about the Roger Moore era: It had the best music! A View To A Kill, For Your Eyes Only, and Nobody Does It Better (from TSWLM).

 

A VIEW TO A KILL!!!!!!!!!

 

Goldeneye

Although the best Bond in my opinion will always be Sean Connery.

 

Connery
Best - Thunderball and Goldfinger
Worst - Diamonds are forever. Although I liked Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd, the plot was terrible.

Moore
Best - The spy who loved me and For your eyes only
Worst - Moonraker and The man with the golden gun

Brosnan
Best - Goldeneye and TWINE. I love them both!
Worst - Tomorrow never dies. It was actually quite good, but not as enjoyable as the others.

Others
Hated them all. Both the Dalton ones were boring and OHMSS was too long. Lazenby and Dalton never seemed like Bond to me. Also, the villians in the Dalton ones were weak.

Best songs
TWINE, Goldeneye, Nobody does it better, Live and let die, and my absolute favorite View to a kill.
