Goldeneye - Pierce at his best!
Die Another Day - Pierce is good here too!
Goldfinger - the definitive Connery bond
Live and Let Die - Moore comes in with a bagn!
Moonraker - Bond in space?! What more do you need?
Casino Royale - a bit hardcore for James Bond, but good
Tomorrow Never Dies - more Pierce goodness
The World Is Not Enough - even more pierce goodness! and Bond shoots a girl directly, this is the only one where that happens
Quantum of Solace - Daniel Craig is good
Dr. No - original classic
Octo***** - fun. that island of woman is great too.
Diamonds are Forever - pretty good.
You Only Live Twice - not bad, but a bit slow in some scenes. the end is awesome though.
BAD: (for a Bond film anyways!!)
A View to a Kill - just silly. even tho I like Walken
Thunderball - kind of boring. a speargun fight is a good idea, but it goes on FOREVER
The Living Daylights - kind of boring.
From Russia With Love - BORING
The Spy Who Loved Me - BORING. Jaws is a great villain though!!
On Her Majesty's Secret Service - WORST BOND. IS THIS EVEN BOND. BORING. Sorry, I see you like it, but NOTHING HAPPENS!! I regret watching this one, and this is the only one I regret!
As for the Bonds:
Pierce Brosnan - what do you have against this guy? He's fun as Moore and hardcore when need be
Sean Connery - the original classic
Roger Moore - sure he's up-and-down, but a lot of what he does is great
Daniel Craig - we'll see how Skyfall is
Timothy Dalton - I haven't seen License to Kill, but you say it's awesome, maybe I will in that case. Wasn't impressed with the other one tho, I have to say.
George Lazanby - what? people like this guy and this movie? news to me
Anyways, hopefully Skyfall will be AWESOME!!
I guess there's a few I haven't seen. I'll fore sure try to see License to Kill, I never did because I didn't like the Living Daylights, but if you say it's THAT good, I'll give it a shot. And I think I'm missing a few Roger Moore's.
Never even heard of those other ones you mentioned, don't care either.

005. George Lazenby - The best fighter. Could have been great.
Only a 6/10 for Goldeneye? Maybe it was the popularity of the N64 game or something but until Casino Royale, I honestly thought Goldeneye was the great Bond film ever.
Not only he did not include a single Brosnan movie, but he isn't even listed as a Bond
It's a bit over the top imo, specially when including movies that are -not- officially considered part of the Bond legacy (Casino Royale (1967) & Never Say Never Again).
All Equally Entertaining and Memorable
Dr. No
From Russia with Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice
Diamonds Are Forever
Live and Let Die
The Man with the Golden Gun
The Spy Who Loved Me
Moonraker
For Your Eyes Only
Octovagina
Never Say Never Again
A View to a Kill
Entertaining But Forgettable
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Tomorrow Never Dies
The World Is Not Enough
Die Another Day
The Living Daylights
Licence to Kill
Only a 6/10 for Goldeneye? Maybe it was the popularity of the N64 game or something but until Casino Royale, I honestly thought Goldeneye was the great Bond film ever.
It's definitely good, I rate movies pretty hard (I have in fact devised a rather long-winded rating system), so a 6/10 means I liked it quite a bit. And yeah, it has good parts (the tank scene is pretty great), and it has Sean Bean, but Brosnan just sucks a lot of life out of it. If Dalton had come back to do one more, it would have been awesome.
Also, hats of to you, Bucky. That was a cold-hearted complete dismissal of Pierce Brosnan, and although even I am not THAT extreme, I respect and commend what you did there.
Also, I knew that A View to a Kill was generally disliked, but I never it was hated to the extent that it is. I guess I am REALLY in the minority by considering it among the best.
Casino Royale (2006) 5/5
Goldeneye 4.5/5
Licence to Kill 4.5/5
Die Another Day 4.3/5
The Living Daylights 4.2/5
Goldfinger 4.2/5
The World is Not Enough 4.1/5 (Denise Richards almost ruins it but its got the Best Bond song ever and some of the most impressive action in a film ever)
Tomorrow Never Dies 4.1/5
Dr. No 3.8/5
The Spy Who Loved Me 3.8/5
The Man with the Golden Gun 3.7/5
You Only Live Twice 3.7/5
Thunderball 3.5/5
Diamonds Are Forever 3.5/5
A View to a Kill 3.3/5
For Your Eyes Only 3.3/5
Octo***** 3.2/5
On Her Majesty's Secret Service 3/5
Moonraker 2.9/5
Never Say Never Again 2.8/5
From Russia with Love 2.6/5
Live and Let Die 2.5/5
Quantum of Solace 2.2/5 (worst, laziest Bond film ever.)
License to Kill is one of my favorite Bond films of all time.
IMHO it's also one of the most underated in the series. Timothy Dalton is terrific in this flick.
Loved the theme song by Gladys Knight and the end credits song by Patti LaBelle.
Got to pick this up on BD now that the price has dropped to $10.99.

Yep, I love all of the canonical Bond films, even when they did suck.
Here were all of the ratings of Bond-related stuff when I last watched/reviewed the movies:

Rating the Bond actors:
[Show spoiler]Sean Connery: 5/5 (perfect!)
George Lazenby: 2/5 (never got into his style)
Roger Moore: 3/5 (he’s got the looks and style, but is rather silly)
Timothy Dalton: 4/5 (so angry, I love it!)
Pierce Brosnan: 4/5 (plays it cool)
Daniel Craig: 5/5 (debatable perhaps, but I think he’s brilliant)
Rating the Bond women (based on their characters, of course! ):
[Show spoiler] “Dr No”
· Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) 4/5 (ah, Bond’s first GF…)
· Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) 4/5 (hot, but kinda defensive)
· Domino (Claudine Auger) 5/5
· Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi) 4.5/5 (could she be the hottest villain ever?!)
· Pat Fearing (Molly Peters) 4.5/5 (I wish I was at her clinic…)
· Countess Tracy di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg) 5/5 (hot and feisty! No wonder Bond married her!)
· Ruby Bartlett (Angela Scoular) 3/5 (um…who was she again?)
· Irma Bunt (Ilse Steppat) 1/5 (okay for an old fart…and a villain…)
“Diamonds Are Forever”
· Tiffany Case (Jill St John) 3.5/5 (kinda annoying)
· Plenty O’Toole (Lana Wood) 4.5/5 (yes, she is plenty alright…)
· Stacey Stutton (Tanya Roberts) 4/5 (a bit ditzy, but still hot. Reminds me a bit of the mother from“That 70s Show”)
· May Day (Grace Jones) 2/5 (I think she’s ugly, but she is an interesting character)
“The Living Daylights”
· Kara Milovy (Maryam d’Abo) 5/5 (lovely)
“Licence to Kill”
· Pam Bouvier (Carey Lowell) 4/5 (a good foil for Bond’s character)
· Lupe Lamora (Talisa Soto) 4.5/5 (she’s hot for a vulnerable victim)
“GoldenEye”
· Natalya Simonova (Izabella Scorupco) 4.5/5 (hot and lovely)
· Xenia (Famke Janssen) 4.5/5 (“she always did enjoy a good squeeze…”)
“Tomorrow Never Dies”
· Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh) 4/5 (she’s cool…but whenever I see her I’ll always think of her playing the older lady in “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon”)
· Paris Carver (Teri Hatcher) 4/5 (lovely)
“The World Is Not Enough”
· Elektra King (Sophie Marceau) 5/5 (hot, and I love her character)
· Christmas Jones (Denise Richards) 3/5 (she’s got the looks, but her character is kinda annoying)
“Die Another Day”
· Miranda Frost (Rosamind Pike) 4/5 (hot…but so cold!)
· Jinx Johnson (Halle Barry) 4.5/5 (perhaps the most like a female Bond…)
· Camille Montes (Olga Kurylenko) 4.5/5 (so…hot…)
· Strawberry Fields (Gemma Arterton) 4.5/5 (hot, but so aggressive it’s almost funny)
And of course, Judi Dench gets a 4/5 (mostly for personality).
Rating the Bond villains and henchmen:
[Show spoiler]“Dr No”
· Dr No (Joseph Wiseman) 3.5/5 (iconic, but rather lacking in personality)
“From Russia With Love”
· Red Grant (Robert Shaw) 4/5 (gotta admire a man who spends his whole life preparing for an assassination mission…)
· Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) 4/5 (ugly, but a solid villain, especially with that knife-in-the-boot)
“Goldfinger”
· Auric Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) 4.5/5 (a bad guy we love to hate)
· Oddjob (Harold Sakata) 5/5 (impossible to beat up, uses an iron hat, can crush golf balls…best henchman ever!!!)
“Thunderball”
· Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi) 5/5 (so classy and cool, especially with that eyepatch!)
· Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi) 4/5 (quite mean and wicked)
“You Only Live Twice”
· Dr Evil…I mean, Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Doland Pleasence) 4.5/5 (iconic!)
“On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”
· Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas) 2/5 (fine villain, but I don’t care for the acting)
· Irma Bunt (Ilse Steppat) 4/5 (mean, but motherly)
“Diamonds Are Forever”
· Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Charles Gray) 4.5/5 (classy)
“Live and Let Die”
· Dr Kananga / Mr Big (Yaphet Kotto) 4/5 (classy)
· Baron Samedi (Geoffrey Holder) 4.5/5 (wicked voodoo facepaint and magic, ftw!)
· Tee Hee Johnson (Julius Harris) 4.5/5 (clawed hands are always cool!!!)
“The Man With the Golden Gun”
· Scaramanga (Christopher Lee) 4.5/5 (Count Dooku and Saruman can eat their hearts out! One of the best foil characters for Bond)
· Nick Nack (Herve Villechaize) 4.5/5 (what a mischievous little guy…)
“The Spy Who Loved Me”
· Karl Stromberg (Curd Jurgens) 3.5/5 (eh, pretty standard villain)
· Jaws (Richard Kiel) 4.5/5 (metal teeth and super-strength, all right!!!)
“Moonraker”
· Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale) 3.5/5 (typical villain, but I like him)
· Jaws (Richard Kiel) 4.5/5 (still the man!)
“For Your Eyes Only”
· Aristotle Kristatos (Julian Glover) 4.5/5 (quite the realistic and fully-developed villain)
“Octo*****”
· Octo***** (Maud Adams) 3/5 (never really takes the front stage as a villain, much less the title character. She’s also kinda flimsy; can’t ever tell if she’s fully good or evil. I think she’s overshadowed by these other characters)
· Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) 4.5/5 (classic villain)
· Gobinda (Kabir Bedi) 4.5/5 (probably the strongest and coolest villain since Oddjob)
· Orlov (Steven Berkoff) 4/5 (he’s mad, mad I tell you!)
“Never Say Never Again”
· Maximillian Largo (Klaus Maria Brandauer) 4/5 (not a bad villain)
· Fatima Blush (Barbara Carrera) 4/5 (not a bad assassin)
· Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Max von Sydow) 4.5/5 (brief but effective cameo)
“A View to a Kill”
· Zorin (Christopher Walken) 4.5/5 (psycho!)
· May Day (Grace Jones) 4/5 (another quality henchman)
“The Living Daylights”
· Brad Whitaker (Joe Don Baker) 4/5 (standard villain, but rather likable)
· Koskov (Jeroen Krabbe) 4.5/5 (is he good, is he evil, man he sure knows how to manipulate and kiss up to people!)
· Necros (Andreas Wisniewski) 4.5/5 (menacing! And always listening to The Pretenders music! Hm…)
“Licence to Kill”
· Sanchez (Robert Davi) 5/5 (probably the coolest, most wicked villain since Tony Montanna!)
· Dario (Benicio Del Toro) 4.5/5 (quite the psycho!)
· Milton Krest (Anthony Zerbe) 4/5 (cool)
· Professor Joe Butcher (Wayne Newton) 4.5/5 (“bless your heart!”)
“GoldenEye”
· Alec Trevelyan (Sean Bean) 5/5 (what could be more dramatic than Bond fighting is old buddy?)
· Xenia (Famke Janssen) 4.5/5 (omg, what is she doing with her legs?!)
“Tomorrow Never Dies”
· Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) 4.5/5 (kinda standard and excessively evil, but still pretty darn cool with a lot of personality)
· Richard Stamper (Gotz Otto) 4.5/5 (quite a burly can-do man!)
“The World Is Not Enough”
· Renard (Robert Carlyle) 4.5/5 (the man who doesn’t feel pain, feels no fear…)
· Elektra King (Sophie Marceau) 4.5/5 (manipulative b*tch!)
“Die Another Day”
· Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens) 4.5/5 (seems like a typical baddie, but he does have some strong characteristics as his “westernization” corrupts him, and he continues to struggle with anger management and daddy issues)
· Zao (Rick Yune) 4/5 (the man has diamonds embedded in his face, how cool is that?)
· Miranda Frost (Rosamind Pike) 4/5 (so hot, so deadly…)
“Casino Royale” 2006
· Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) 4.5/5 (creepy!)
“Quantum of Solace”
· Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric) 4.5/5 (a pretty realistic-looking businessman)
· General Medrano (Joaquin Cosio) 4.5/5 (one big mean dictator!)
lol That's what I'm wondering. James Bond is easily one of the most consistent movie series when it comes to quality of each entry.
Plus anyone who doesn't like Bond should be required to turn in their man card.
