Tomorrow Never Dies, closely followed by The Spy Who Loved Me. I know neither are popular opinions and the former is for all intents and purposes a remake of the latter but I love them both SO much.

From Russia With Love, Goldfinger and Skyfall are clearly the best films but my favourite remains Live And Let Die. It may have Roger Moore in it but that is counter balanced by Jane Seymour and Baron Samedi

Darling, we both know better than to converse in any depth on matters of 007 nowadays. :D

 

I suppose my list would look a bit like this:

 

01 On Her Majesty's Secret Service

02 Goldeneye

03 Skyfall

04 Casino Royale

05 Live and Let Die

 

Although I need a third viewing of Skyfall to really know where it stands. It might be my #2 actually.

 

In fact, I'll just rank the whole lot for the fun of it

 

01 Tomorrow Never Dies

02 The Spy Who Loved Me

03 Moonraker

04 Skyfall

05 You Only Live Twice

06 Thunderball

07 Goldfinger

08 The World Is Not Enough

09 Diamonds Are Forever

10 Goldeneye

11 A View To A Kill

12 Live And Let Die

13 For Your Eyes Only

14 Die Another Day

15 Octopussy

16 From Russia With Love

17 Dr. No

18 The Man With The Golden Gun

19 Casino Royale

20 On Her Majesty's Secret Service

21 License To Kill (even for the ironic lols this film is still an absolute stone cold MESS and Dalton the worst Bond, by far)

22 The Living Daylights

23 Quantum Of Solace

 

I do like a good rank:

 

1 Goldeneye

2 Moonraker

3 On Her Majesty's Secret Service

4 Goldfinger

5 Dr. No

6 Skyfall

7 Tomorrow Never Dies

8 Live And Let Die

9 A View To A Kill

10 You Only Live Twice

 

11 Diamonds Are Forever

12 The Spy Who Loved Me

13 From Russia With Love

14 Casino Royale

15 Die Another Day

16 Thunderball

17 The Living Daylights

18 License To Kill

19 The World Is Not Enough

20 The Man With The Golden Gun

 

21 For Your Eyes Only

22 Octopussy

23 Quantum Of Solace

 

Quantum of Solace is a better film than maybe half of them, it's just not a Bond film.

 

Casino Royale, Goldfinger, The Living Daylights and The World Is Not Enough are my immediate standouts (or have been at various points in my childhood).

Quantum of Solace is utterly forgettable. The story is boring, the girl and the villain leave no impression at all. The only scenes I even vaguely remember are the opening chase, the opera scene and the desert one at the end with the oil can. I would probably take a memorably bad film over a forgettably average one, so that's right at the bottom of the pile for me.

 

The World is Not Enough, whilst not a truly great film, has plenty of moments and the snowy locales are pure Bond. In visual terms it's a bloody beautiful film, you've got a fantastic villain (and a great twist on that front), two gorgeous Bond girls who actually impact on the plot rather than being purely eye candy, and of course the sublime Valentine Zukovsky plus an enjoyably slippery Goldie as a henchman. It's just a shame the overall tone of the film is a bit off, like it doesn't know whether it's supposed to be serious or ridiculous so tries to be both. But the final line of the film is OUTRAGEOUSLY fab. 8.5/10 at the very least, and a considerable improvement on the turgid Tomorrow Never Dies.

TWINE has THE BEST (ie. worst) puns of the entire series. I cringe (and laugh) everytime they say the Christmas line, but I think it fits the tone of the film.
Another Moonraker fan, YAY *.*

One probably one of my most watched films as a kid. I adore the soundtrack still.

Timothy Dalton was a rather shit Bond.
