Perhaps the most underrated Bond film. Christopher Walken, Tanya Roberts, and Grace Jones in one movie, killer sound track, etc. Walken was great.Quote:

Least: Die Another Day
It's campy, goofy, has face swaps and stupid gadgets out the ass. Even Halle Berry doesn't help this film.
Most: Tomorrow Never Dies
I love the concept of a media mogul using his power and influence to start a war. Very Spanish-American War of him, after all. I also loved the flash-point they used, and the UK/China conflict as being believable but not the generic US/Bad guy match up. It still has its failings, but the concept was solid, and I'd love to see similar stories in the future.
I enjoy the Daniel Craig Bond films a lot, but I have a soft spit for the Roger Moore films because that’s what I grew up watching.
My favorite - The Man with the Golden Gun
Honorable Mention - Never Say Never Again. Very underrated remake of Thunderball. The young Kim Basinger is hot, plus one of the henchmen rocks a 93R ;-)
Least Favorite- Die Another Day
Casino was the only one I really liked and hoped that would be the new approach for Bond, but it was not to be. I didn't care for Skyfall, but liked it more than Quantum of Solace.Quote:

On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Die Another Day and For Your Eyes Only were my least favorites.
I liked Skyfall for the simple fact it gave some background to Bond and his upbringing. Plus, I think Judi Dench was probably the best M of all time.Quote:

1. Sean Connery

4. Roger Moore
5. Timothy Dalton (though he was actually what Ian Fleming envisioned Bond to look like)
6. George Lazenby
I think this was why it appealed to me so much. Nothing hurts as much as having been there and back and you turn your head and twenty years have flashed by.Quote:

Least, Dalton's movies. Bleh. Edited to add, I liked how he played him, just weren't my favorite movies. Contrasted, I liked Moore's movies, but not his jokester approach.
Fave, Skyfall. Bond as soulful, human, conflicted, and hurt.
Good interview with Craig:

Connery is the iconic Bond and Daniel Craig and the new stuff is awesome, but I love On Her Majesty's Secret Service and thought Lazenby did a great job. He did a lot of the stunt work including the skiing. The movie followed the book closely. It's one of my favorites.
I think Lazenby is domed to be hated as he replaced Connery and was a one and done Bond. He was a moron for walking away from the franchise.
