my personal ranking...
1. Dr No
2. Thunderball
3. Goldfinger
4. You Only Live Twice
5. Diamonds are Forever
6. From Russia with Love
7. Casino Royal
8. Quantum
9. Never Say Never Again
10. The Man With the Golden Gun
11. Live and Let Die

I am indifferent to the rest...some of them I havent even made time to see, like Golden Eye, and The Worlds Not Enough.  some day when I'm sufficiently bored....

Sean Connery is the one and only true James Bond, Until Daniel Craig, it only took them 45 years to find a good replacement for Sean Connery...

:aok

Completely agree with you. It's a close 1 - 2 with Dr. No and Thunderball. Dr. No wins because it has the one true Felix Leiter, Jack Lord.

Live and Let Die was always my favorite. Loved the boat chase.

My favorites:

For Your Eyes Only ( I could stare at that girl forever)
Never Say Never Again (Fatima Blush hehehe)
Casino Royale

I really liked the edginess of Casino Royale.

I saw Quantum of Solace but will have to wait for the sequel to make a decision.

Moonraker has to be the worst.  It requires the most suspension of belief out of all of them.  Come on, private Shuttle lauches, fully manned (100+) space station, space battles, and Jaws turns into a good guy? Come on now...    :D

The first James Bond film I saw was Dr. No. I saw it in a theater in 1962 at the age of 9. I liked it so much, I pestered my parents to take me to see From Russia with Love and then Goldfinger. Of course, seeing Thunderball was automatic.

Goldfinger was and still is my favorite Bond film.

well somebodies not getting invited to my space station when i finish building it  :t

i'll admit it was a bit out there but its not that more far fetched than the rest of the evil plots and evil organizations that they portray.

Wow, ya quit living in the past my sad sad little friend. There was nothing good about ""A View to a Kill" when compared to "The Living Daylights" Or especially the two Daniel Craig movies. I mean seriously... How can you have Christopher Walken as your bad guy and somehow still create a crappy movie? That's just not possible, yet through the power of Roger Moore, there it is. Don't get me wrong, "For Your Eyes Only" is one of my favorites. But to simply say that Moore and Connery were "the best" is one thing. But to say that the rest "suk"  denotes a total lack of appreciation for film making IMHO. To be honest, I'm just thankful to Jesus that you're not in control of a studio.

Goldfinger and Thunderball really had it IMHO. And from Russia with Love.
I liked Casino Royal as well.
