Favourite 007 movie 1962-2015

Let me know what your favourite 007 James Bond movie is, let me start by saying Casino Royale 2006 is my favourite bond movie. to help you decide take a look at the list I have below.

The Man with the Golden Gun because it is amazing, has Tattoo, a cool death house of horrors, Sir Christopher Lee!

Runner up for me is You Only Live Twice, because I love all things Japan and boy howdy is it fun to see that 1960's racism full blown.

Not enough poll options... oh wait.

Goldfinger, Casino Royale, Skyfall, From Russia with Love, Thunderball.

Roger Moore stuff is pretty entertaining as well:

The Man With the Golden Gun. There is no other choice.

Roger Moore isn't even my favourite Bond.

Having not watched all of them just yet, I'd still have to say Casino Royale. It is what got me into Bond in the first place and I definitely consider it as one of my all time favorites.

Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice are my favorite Connery movies, although Diamonds Are Forever is really....let's say..."special" for a variety of reasons.

I just finally wrapped up the Moore era not too long ago. I can't say I loved any of his films, but The Man With the Golden Gun is probably his best. Moonraker has some top notch moments, too.

Thunderball (1965), a movie so good they made it twice.

Goldfinger. Solid theme, good action, great villains and an inform Connery. I like most of the Moore ones too. Goldeneye is the best action movie one by a decent margin.

Casino Royale and Quantum of Solance are absolute trash with little to no Bond movie moments (I don't think the books are very good) and a crappy story.

I've been watching all of these lately. I'm up to License to Kill, the second Dalton movie. While Man with the Golden Gun was my favorite growing up, My new top 3 are From Russia with Love, Octopussy, and Live and Let Die.

The Man With The Golden Gun and You Only Live Twice for me. A literal hollowed out volcano lair! SO COOL

For Moore ones, I love a View To a Kill. Christopher Walken and a Duran Duran main theme!

I didn't really like the Dalton films, but the theme for "The Living Daylights" is still among my favourite Bond themes.

Also on a side note, after playing threw Uncharted 4's Malaysia Job and the Auction sequences, I realized that I want Naughty Dog to make a Bond/spy game so bad! That genre died so hard early last gen.

Casino Royale. I saw Austin Powers first, and that just means I absolutely can't take the early ones seriously. CR is well-made, tense as hell, and Daniel Craig has an intensity that pulls you in. Shame that the rest of his run couldn't live up to it.

Thunderball and The Living Daylights! .

@ben_h: The music video for The Living Daylights is so bad! How is the band behind the Take On Me video capable of this?

THAT OPENING BOND THEME HOOK THOUGH!!!

For my money, it's either You Only Live Twice, Goldfinger or The Spy Who Loved Me. I gotta rewatch From Russia With Love again sometime.

Goldeneye still for me. Was my first bond and just a great action movie in general. One of the best villains he had and memorial characters and moments.

@carolinafan3515: Yeah, it is a pretty painful video other than that intro. The song is pretty good but they phoned it in hard on the video. The difference between that one and Duran Duran's is that the Duran Duran video is so bad and cheesy it's kinda good while that one is just bad.

I hate to be boring but Goldeneye was my favourite, probably because I grew up in the 90s and Pierce Brosnan was James Bond for me. It helped that the game was also pretty good.

I also have a soft spot for Die Another Day. That movie was stupid as hell but it felt like the perfect conclusion to that era of bond. Casino Rayle was okay but it just felt like a tamer attempt to do what the Dalton movies did to make bond seem more mature.

Goldfinger is my favourite of them all. Casino Royale is my favourite in my life time.

Goldfinger is my favorite overall, but I grew up with Roger Moore as Bond so I have fond remembrances of Octopussy, and A View to a Kill. In fact, I generally enjoyed most of the Moore movies. Dalton movies were terrible. Brosnan should have been a better Bond, but I don't think he was given much to work with beyond Goldeneye. Not a fan of Daniel Craig either, but I did think that Skyfall was very good.

Moonraker and Goldeneye.

I'm convinced that Dainel Craig's James Bond movies were made for people who don't like James Bond movies.

Casino Royale isn't just the greatest Bond movie ever made, it's one of the greatest movies ever made.

Second on my list is On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I guess I like some actual human emotion in my Bond movies, call me crazy. Lazenby is a very wooden Bond, yes. But Diana Rigg and Telly Sevalas carry that dude on their backs, easily my favorite Bond girl and my favorite Blofeld, maybe my favorite Bond villain even.

Tossup for #3 between From Russia With Love, Skyfall and The Living Daylights.

I always tell people that the greatest Bond parody of all time is an actual Bond movie. Austin Powers can go to hell, Diamonds are Forever is a whole lot funnier. I genuinely love that movie, as terrible as it is.

Casino Royale. I'm still sad that they rebooted the franchise so well but then entirely squandered all the potential they had going forward.

Looking just at "classic" Bond, most of which I haven't seen since I was much younger, I guess I still have a particularly soft spot for The Man with the Golden Gun.

From Russia With Love. It's the only legit spy thriller here.

Goldeneye, Goldfinger and Casino Royale in that order.

It really is the only correct answer.

Goldeneye. That tank scene was magnificent and Pierce Brosnan played James Bond brilliantly that it was such a shame his follow up 007 movies just weren't as good and didn't do his portrayal justice.

Goldeneye

The only two Bond movies I've seen are Skyfall and Spectre.

Of those two: I'd go with Skyfall, but I don't really hate Spectre all that much either.

I guess I'll have to say Moonraker. It's really dumb, but goddamn if it isn't memorable. The space battle scene just makes me incredibly happy every time I see it.

Goldeneye

I think in terms of old school bond I really like goldfinger, the man with the golden gun, and from russia with love. I really like roger moore ^_^ and with newer james bond I really like skyfall, its just as good as casino royale in my opinion :)

Casino Royale, by far. Shows how talentless Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are when the only really good James Bond movie they wrote was based on a book.

Of the three James Bond films I've seen (Dr.No, Casiono Royale, and Quantum of Solace) I'd say I liked Casino Royale the best.

Living Daylights. I love Timothy Dalton's Bond.

@fisk0: That must've cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

...but seriously though, Golden Gun.

Should have made this a poll.

Anyway, I've never been a huge bond fan, so out of the ones I've seen casino royale is my favorite. Such an awesome movie.

Also, I really think Idris Elba should be the next bond. Not because he's black or anything silly like that, but because he has the most god damn swagger of any actor working today. That's a huge part of bonds appeal. Tom Hiddleston is too nerdy to be bond.

It has to be On Her Majesty's Secret Service, as a kid the ski chase scene epitomised James Bond to me

Also it's the only one that actually made me feel bad for Bond, even Casino Royale couldnt get it to work.

Close second to a View to a Kill for taking it as far in the other direction as it could. Thats such a goofy movie man.

For me, probably License To Kill, because Timothy Dalton was (and is) super hot and actually had the flashes of Flemming's character's brutality which Craig's interpretation follows.

@casinoghostt: I can confirm, Timothy Dalton was pretty hot! :D

Personally, my favorite two James Bond films are Goldfinger and Skyfall. Sure, I have only see six James Bond movies in my life but I found myself enjoying those two movies the most when it comes to the story and villain.

Goldeneye

Licence to Kill. Not even a contest.

Don't forget Grace Jones! I have a soft spot for Moore's flicks because I grew up watching those. As a kid, Connery was old and boring. Moore was new and cool! Amazing how time brings perspective.

@carolinafan3515: Ever heard of any other A-HA songs? Look up one-hit-wonder in the dictionary and there's a picture of A-HA. Fun fact: A-HA is still together and touring.

Moonraker becouse space is cool and Roger Moore is the perfect gentleman asshole.

All of them. There have been times in the past that I could've picked a favorite among them at different points of time in my youth (From Russia with Love, You Only Live Twice, Thunderball), but now it seems futile for me to rank them even if I consciously gravitate towards the Moore and especially Connery era.

These days when I do decide to sit down and watch the movies I tend to watch all of them from DVD in chronological order within a short period of time, which only strengthens the weird and great timelordness of it all. The previous marathon was served with the James Bonding podcast as dessert after each film giving some new perspectives on some of the movies, such as the opinion that the theme song from The Spy Who Loved Me, "Nobody Does It Better", not so secretly is perhaps the best song in the series. It certainly ranks high on my goose-bump-o-meter scale.

I absolutely love James Bond and have no idea how anyone can pick a favourite. I might be able to give you a favourite from each actor (after writing this I realized I put so many "close to favourites" in brackets after each favourite that I almost listed half of them so I took out all that.

• Goldfinger
• On Her Majesty's Secret Service (such a hard pick lol)
• The Spy Who Loved Me
• The Living Daylights
• Goldeneye
• Casino Royal

I need to rewatch a few but the choice between Goldfinger and From Russia with Love was hard. The Spy Who Loved me is definitely my favourite Moore film but I have a bunch in competition for the number two spot. I couldn't even imagine trying to rank all of them let alone just getting Connery and Moore's into order by themselves. Brosnan is easy (Goldeneye, TND, WNE, DAD), same with Craig (CR, Skyfall, Spectre, QoS).

But man I first started watching Bond films when I was 7 renting all of them on VHS with my folks. It's kind of foolish how many times I've watched a full Bond film from beginning to end. I think I would watch any of them except Die Another Day or Octopussy if someone asked me to right now. Actually if anyone of my friends came up to me today and was like "I haven't seen many Bond films, want to watch 1-3 a day and go through all of them?" I'd be super down.

Personally I find Goldeneye to be my favorite. When I say that people I normally get, "Oh, because of the game"...but I have no idea why. While I enjoyed Goldeneye as a kid I wouldn't say I ever fell in love with it as I never had people over to play it multiplayer like some other kids did or people in college. I just love everything about it. There is a seriousness there that blends with the gadgets and tools that the series is known for. Brosnan was a good Bond but the other films went too silly in my opinion.

Goldeneye here, too. I've probably seen every Bond movie at some point and whilst I've been into most of them, I feel inadequately prepared to rank them more broadly. But Goldeneye jumps out at me right away: great action movie, the premise is super compelling and executed by a great plot, and I think it's rightly praised for "darkening" the Bond property relative to what it had been up to that point. Only problem I have with it is the cringey misogynist elements, but that's not uncommon in pre-Craig Bond movies.

I was also really into the game. Hell it was a way of life for me as a kid.

I think it's worth stating that I think the Daniel Craig movies have been generally great. I was pretty skeptical when they got this blonde male model dude who looked nothing like the Dalton/Moore/Brosnan Bond and said they were rebooting the property or something, but those movies quickly won me over when I actually saw them.

Re: the Idris Elba stuff: my complaints about a "Bond who doesn't look like Bond" came up with Craig, and that turned out great, so I've got that out of my system. I don't know anything about Elba, but I'm not against it at all.
