Good, I'm glad you say all the Pierce Brosnan films are crap. I can't stand him. I don't really know why, he just irritates me. I pretty much avoid anything he stars in.
I think I'll just start with Casino Royale and go see Quantum of Solace when it comes out.

I think Casino Royale goes in first. Then, Goldfinger. But definitely the last one on the list has to be Octopussy.

Yea, Sean Connery got it right. He wouldn't have let his testicles be tortured like the new Bond. Connery would have whipped out some laser phallis designed by Q or something, and would have the bad guy right then and there, with still enough time left to become graciously drunk and have unprotected sex!

The Spy Who Loved Me
Thunderball
Live and Let Die
GoldenEye
Goldfinger
Casino Royale
Licence to Kill
You Only Live Twice
Skyfall
The Man with the Golden Gun
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Tomorrow Never Dies
The World is Not Enough
Octopussy
From Russia with Love
The Living Daylights
Moonraker
Quantum of Solace
A View to a Kill
Diamonds Are Forever
Die Another Day
For Your Eyes Only
Dr. No

* Haven't seen Spectre yet. I'd put Never Say Never Again in between For Your Eyes Only and Dr. No.

Dr.No last? The hell? That's one of the few actually genuinely good Bond films.

Watchable now:

From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Dr.No
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice

Non Connerys:

Goldeneye
Casino Royale
The Spy Who Loved Me

That's it.

It insists upon itself – no, I just find it quite a boring film really.

Dr. No has a big spider about an hour into the movie.

That's enough to make it last on my list.

Theres enough Bond threads now to dedicate a section to it on the forum

Favorite Line:
Bond: "Do you expect me to talk?"
Goldfinger: "No, Mr. Bond... I expect you to die!"

Favorite Bond Girl:
Claudine Auger (Thunderball) - exquisite in a wet suit, evening gown or swim suit.

No love for Pierce Brosnan? I really like The World is not Enought.

Well i can understand that at least.

Seriously though, while i don't expect people to like it as much as me i do find it incredible that someone would think of it as the worst when there's been so many really terrible Bond films. At worst Dr.No is boring as Seeingisbelieving said (which i don't agree with), there's so many others with atrocious acting, characters, dialogue, action, etc, i find it hard to believe people would rather watch those over something that is IMO a solid piece of filmmaking or at least completely inoffensive.

Yeah, he was a really good Bond. It's just a shame that he had such a disastrous final film.

Looking back, GoldenEye is a brilliant revival of the franchise, Tomorrow Never Dies was very good – more traditional; The World Is Not Enough was interesting but not satisfying and Die Another Day probably would have been better had they not gone hell for leather into science fantasy territory.

Dr. No is unique in being the first Bond film, but not just for that reason.
On one level it's one of the more realistic films (comparatively speaking). There are no Bond gadgets in this film (and there's no "Q" to distribute or explain them) - Bond just uses guns.

Bond is quite a ruthless killer from the get go - there's at least one guy who's threat is removed, and Bond could just arrest him or tie him up and leave him for the police - but instead Bond shoots him while the guy's sitting down.

I like:
From Russia with Love (1963)
Goldfinger (1964)
GoldenEye (1995)
The World Is Not Enough (1999)
Casino Royale (2006)
