casino royale is the best so far , haven't watched all of them yet

I can't choose a "best." But I can choose my favorites. I am only going off of the Brosnan and Craig films because those are the only ones I have seen.
Goldeneye, Tomorrow never dies, Skyfall.
Casino Royale would probably be thrown in there if I saw it again. I have never watched the whole thing all the way through. But most people seem to say it's really good. I only watched parts here and there.
I'm 23 and grew up watching mainly the Connery and (a few) Moore movies, as well as the Brosnan movies (obviously). I'm also the kind of Bond fan who enjoys watching every single one of the movies, including the "unofficial" Never Say Never Again. If you sit me down in front of a Bond movie, I will watch the whole thing and enjoy it too. I watch the entire Bond catalogue (in order of release) on Blu Ray a few times a year.
The best Bond movies are: From Russia With Love followed very closely by Goldfinger. Even though I am partial to the classics, Casino Royale gets an honorable mention as well.
The worst Bond movies are: The Man with the Golden Gun and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. These are the only 2 Bond movies that I have not seen more than 10 times, and I only watch them when I decide to sit down and view the entire collection in order. OHMSS would be one of my favorites if Connery had stuck around for it. George Lazenby is the worst Bond by a MILE- he is annoying to watch, annoying to listen to and very unpleasing to the eyes. That chin is enough to drive me crazy, and in the movie he seems more like an arrogant prick (which he apparently is/was in reality) than a suave, seductive secret agent. He brought nothing memorable to the character of Bond, and I will always view him as nothing more than a placeholder until the REAL James Bond (Connery) came back. I'm just thankful that Connery DID come back, and that Lazchinby decided not to take the 7-movie deal he was offered. That would have been catastrophic for the entire series IMO. I always get depressed when I watch OHMSS because I spend the entire time thinking about how great the movie would be if I was watching Connery instead of Lazchinby. Oh well...
Yeah I am going to have to watch the older ones. They look good too. In my opinion Craigs Bond is pretty boring, I don't think it is his fault as much as his scriptwriters though. Still good movies though. I think it is dumb to try and make "Bond" overly "realistic." That's when they become a bore.
shareThe Spy Who Loved Me
Great action
Great car and gadgets
Great Set (Ken Adam!)
Great title song
Great Henchman
Great Bondgirl
Great locations
And Roger Moores best performance
plus a shark. Bondfilms with sharks are very good (TB, LALD, FYEO & LTK) :-)
And well, because some want to know:
I am 34 years old, my first Bond at theatres was GoldenEye, but I prefer Roger Moore & Sean Connery every time.
They were the best and their films were the best made (music, sound, oneliners, villains, performances!)
I also like OHMMS and the two Daltons very much.
So, follow-up:
2. Goldfinger
3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
4. The Living Daylights
5. Live And Let Die
6. From Russia With Love
7. Thunderball
8. For Your Eyes Only
9. Moonraker
10. GoldenEye
Casino Royale - is the best no doubt about it
Skyfall a close 2nd
Worst are Quantum of Sollace, Moonraker and Die Another Day (2nd half)
Definitely Goldeneye for me.
shareMine is TWINE. It has two very good villains with a plan that is a perfect balance between realism and fantasy, the best Bond girl in Christmas Jones, the best Bond ally in Valentin Zukovsky, very good locations, fantastic action scenes, very good and catchy music, a brilliant climax and Pierce Brosnan in his best performance as Bond.
In favorite to least favorite, some switch around at times. I copy and pasted the brackets I felt suitable and added my own.
BEST
