1. From Russia With Love - My first Connery Bond movie. Classic Cold War stuff and Connery at his best
2. Casino Royale - Daniel Craig did a GREAT job of modernizing the Bond franchise
3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service - The first attempt at showing the dark side of Bond
4. Live and Let Die - The best Roger Moore Bond film.
5. Goldfinger - Great bad guy. Great story. The girl of gold was a great iconic scene.

From Russia with Love is my favorite as well. Hooked as soon as they had the spy school. great fight scene on the train. Kerim Bey of Istanbul was great. etc

Goldfinger - Still sort of the iconic Bond movie

Casino Royale - Really good reboot. Craig was great.

Dr No -Just straight Spy stuff. "That's a Smith and Wesson and you've had your six" pop, pop, pop

Skyfall

Thunderball.

1 - Gold Finger (Sean Connery)

2 - From Russia with Love (Sean Connery)

3 - Casino Royale (Daniel Craig)

4 - On her Majesty's Secret Service (George Lazenby)

5 - GoldenEye (Pierce Brosnan)

I did not care so much for GoldEye. But I loved Live and Let Die.

Dr No also gave me my first memorable stiffie.

I guess there's no accounting for taste. Live and Let Die is the worst Bond movie of all-time!!

Oh no, no, no. I loved that movie. Not a big fan of Roger but loved it. Lot's of elements of cool in that movie. Mr. Big might have to pop a cap in your ass.

I like your list. The Roger Moore just don't hold up to the test of time but I loved them as a kid. To me Timothy Dalton's movies were better that Brosnan.

Bond goes Blacksploitation was just not a good decision.

Brosnan’s movies just seemed a bit tired. Like he felt he was destined for the role and didn’t actually have to bring anything.

I’d have to really think about the movies but how about top 5 theme songs

For me:

5) Adele - Skyfall
4) For Your Eyes Only - Sheena Easton
3) A View to a Kill - Duran Duran
2) Nobody Does it Better - Carly Simon
1) License to Kill - Gladys Knight

IMO numbers 1 and 2 are very close but to Gladys Knight often gets overlooked as a great singer from that era. People also talk about Aretha Franklin and others but Gladys gets the slight nod here because she hits some incredibly high notes in that song

That’s a really good idea. I wonder why nobody thought of that...

Top Five James Bond Theme Songs

I fucking loved it. I used to live in Kenner LA and as a little kid I walked those streets in NO and saw first hand the funerals. They were a hoot and a holler when you see it live. Sorry the bad guy was black boo fucking hoo.

Never much of a franklin fan. But Gladys. Loved some of her stuff. But I also have a story that goes with it. No big thing to anyone else but me and some friends.

Do you know why Live and Let Die is considered to be the worst Bond film of all time amongst the true Bond fans? I'll give you a hint....it's not because the bad guy was black.

Fuck outta here with that racial shit!!!!!!!

Live and Let Die - Wings

Sir Paul should always lead the list.

You called it not me. WTF?

So tell me why? Is it because they used Lincolns instead of Austin martins?

Just a story that is one of those "you had to be there" things. It involved stupidity along the lines of "boys will be boys"
