Best Bond film?

[white_goodman]

Presuming that you like them (although what's not to like), what is your favourite James Bond film and why?

A few of my favourites:

Goldfinger: Sean Connery, DB5, alpine passes, Oddjob, cool one-liners (although the 2nd half of the film doesn't live up to the first half)

Thunderball: Exotic locations, a villian with an eyepatch, a hot villainess, Tom Jones, DB5 and Connery (again). Almost perfect if it wasn't for the dull underwater action sequence at the end.

I'm not so keen on the Roger Moore films (too cheesy) and the Timothy Daltons (too 80s).

Goldeneye: DB5, a convincing villain (Sean Bean), a sexy, psychotic bh, good action sequences but a bit of a cheesy ending and the good girl isn't as hot as the bad one!

On balance, I would have to say that Casino Royale is my favourite for the plot, action sequences, exotic locations and cool ending (the bit with Mr White not the girl dying)!

What's your favourite Bond film and why?

I'll probably get shown the red card for this, but I think Daniel Craig's are best.


He's just a bit more hardcore...

Perhaps it's because the 'old' ones are from a generation far before my own, although I do like the Connery ones also.

I'm with you. I like the Daniel Craig films I think his two efforts are among the best.

However, I think there was a thread not so long back on this very subject.

Danial Craig's films, especially Casino Royale, because we see bond as he is in the books. Violent, thuggish, uncaring, etc. the toilet fight scene is superb.
