Best Bond movie?

Suffered from some growing pains today, so decided to skip the rowing and insanity workout for the day. Instead ended up watching a Bond review that's on: 1983's Never Say Never Again. This is pretty dated, really. I seem to like the newer movies better, especially those with Pierce Brosnan. Any thoughts?

Probably either Dr. No, or Diamonds are Forever for me.

I think you're on the wrong site... may i direct you to Screened?

I had a hard time getting into Pierce Brosnan as Bond.  He'd always been "that asshole from Mrs. Doubtfire" for me.  I mean, he was a good Bond, but it was hard for me to get around this for a while.  Ultimately, though, I'd say it's between Brosnan, and Connery.

I'm not a huge fan of the old ones and when I was a kid Pierce Brosnan was Bond. So, my favorites are actually GoldenEye and Casino Royale.

I'll propably get hanged for this but I really liked Casino Royale.

Never Say Never Again isn't an official Bond movie, and a remake of Thunderball, iirc.
 
I primarily like the Connery, Brosnan, and now Craig movies, my least favorites are the Moore films.  I'm just not a huge fan of the humor they forced into those.  My top five would probably be: From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice, GoldenEye, and Casino Royal.

i like the Timothy Dalton ones, and Pierce Brosnan was "Bond" when I was younger so Goldeneye and The world is not enough get honorable mentions.

Goldeneye is hands down my all-time favourite Bond movie and Sean Connery is THE Bond followed by Pierce Brosnan.

I was never really into the older movies, so I'm not sure how the more serious fans feel about it..  But Casino Royale was a stupidly good movie.  Quantum of Solace suffered solely for being a sequel to a movie it couldn't possible live up to. 
I also really liked Goldeneye and Sean Connery was always entertaining.

Anything with Brosnan is my favorite.

Classic movie Bond would be the Connery ones I guess. But I think Casino Royale did the character the best, focusing on the brutal side of Bond and his dark world of secret killings.

Casino Royale was awesome. I never saw Quantum of Solace.

i liked goldeneye 16 or so years ago. had the VHS

goldeneye is an awesome movie. i think that is my favorite one. i think it might just be because it was the one that came out when i was around. i also liked the video game.

Yeah, that's the one I don't ever feel I have to qualify when I say it's good. Older ones get too cheesy, later ones get too stupid. Not that I don't like Connery, of course, but still.  "

From Russia With Love is hands down the best Bond movie ever. 
 
I also love The Living Daylights, Thunderball, Casino Royale, Goldfinger, and For Your Eyes Only. 

Gadget Bond has always been better than physical Bond for me, so Brosnan stuff has generally been my favorite.

Casino Royale, Thunderball and Goldfinger are by far my favorites.

You Only Live Twice is an old favorite of mine. Bond dying, going to Japan, crazy helicopter gadgets, volcano lair, Blofeld showing his face... just constant fucking madness, and pretty much the source of every cheesy spy movie trope.  
 
From Russia With Love is another favorite as well. This is a good one to show Bond's more serious side.  
 
In terms of Bonds I've liked, you just can't beat Sean Connery, he IS Bond. Brosnan was a great Bond through, my second favorite. I hated Roger Moore and Lazenby, Dalton was okay, and Craig's a fine Bond, but his movies are shit.

GoldenEye has aged rather badly. I watched it in 2010 and it felt a little dated. The later Bond outings from Brosnan aren't bad though. I actually really enjoyed Quantum of Solace. It made Bond feel more human... and Olga Kurylenko was the ultimate Bond girl. Casino Royale was decent but the scene where they're playing poker bored me to tears. "

For some reason I never really liked bond movies that much, but fully enjoyed Daniel Craig's ones so for me it would be Casino Royale.

Goldeneye was my favorite until Casino Royale came along. I thought that movie was brilliant in the reconstruction of Bond as a character and more importantly, as a human being that is fallable and has flaws. Made him more relatable and as a result,  made the plot and overall feel of the movie was superb. It still had the Bond girls and the fancy cars and sweet vacation spots,  it hadn't lost touch with what makes Bond, Bond. Casino Royale just made Bond more believable. Great film

Thunderball. Also my favorite of the original Fleming novels, too.

Well the Visual Effects of GoldenEye have certainly not aged well. Though I doubt they looked good even when they were new. Did people in the 90's think Earth was a Blue Pulsating Nucleus? "

It had a ludicrously tiny budget so it's not surprising. It's also probably the best one. Anyone who says Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace really have no clue.

Goldfinger.

I don't like Bond movies.  So naturally my favorite is Casino Royale. 

That is a good question, I do not know. I need to rewatch them all to decide.

Goldeneye is so awesome.
 
I liked the Brosnan films too much, I grew up with them so he is my Bond.

But its not a good Bond film. Its a good Bourne film.  Its a good film for people who don't like anything about James Bond. Anyhow I have a special place in my heart for Goldeneye, even though Brosnan later went on to be in the worst Bond films after that. There were just so many characters. "

Casino Royale has Eva Green in it.  
 
None of the other movies do.

The Dalton films, on reflection, were actually very good. 
 
They tried taking Bond to a darker place 20 years before the reboots did. Shame the punter's weren't ready for it... 
 
As far as personal favourites go, I love all of the Connery films, and the Craig series has been great so far (Solace, though messy, is still good fun).

I know the answer to this. The best bond movie is Goldfinger.

My favourite Bond movies are Casino Royale, Goldeneye, and From Russia With Love. 
 
There's literally nothing about those three movies that I dislike. As for my top Bond actors, well, it's a really close race between Craig and Connery, with Brosnan coming up third. Everybody else is sort of...eh.

I'm not a huge fan of the old ones and when I was a kid Pierce Brosnan was Bond. So, my favorites are actually GoldenEye and Casino Royale.

1. Thunderball
2. From Russia With Love
3. Goldfinger
4. For Your Eyes Only
5. Casino Royale --- this one (HA!)

Casino Royale, never really seen the older ones though

I've seen them all like.. 3 times each (I used to be a massive fan) and my favourite is probably Live and Let Die. 
I actively hate the new ones, Bond needs gadgets otherwise he's not Bond.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service 
Goldeneye 
Goldfinger 
Casino Royale 
The Living Daylights 
For Your Eyes Only 
 
That's my favorite from every Bond actor and On Her Majesty's Secret Service is not on there only because it's the only George Lazenby Bond to choose from, I think it's one of the best. The skiing part is awesome, the car chase as well not to mention it's the only film where he gets married.

I never liked the James Bond movies, but Casino Royale was actually pretty damn good.
Also, Daniel Craig made Bond a believeable character and that sure helped a lot.
