Moonraker - absolutely loved as kid. The battle scene at the end won it for me.

And the one with Jane Seymour :drool:. Mainly because of her. One of my first ever crushes

His rating system is bizarre. His favourite Bond movie is 9 and number 4 is described as one of the weakest Bond films.

As for Daniel Craig, he's more Bourne than Bond but then I haven't really ever liked any that were made recently enough for me to watch them when they were new. It could be because growing up I was used to them being old films so you forgive the ridiculous stuff but in a new movie it's jarring.
From what I remember from reading the books, Craig's portrayal is the closest to Ian Fleming's version of James Bond.

I remember watching Goldeneye after seeing it hyped up for so long. I thought it was corny and silly. Not sure what others see in it.

I haven't seen many but I really enjoyed Casino Royale. It was the best one of the recent franchise. I really didn't like Spectre, that's the worst one for me.

Most people hyping it will have likely been teenagers when it came out and also probably connect it with the nostalgia of one of the best video games of its generation.

Quantum of Solace by far the worst I've seen. At least other shite ones have fun elements.

Solace was a pile of wank, incomprehensible nonsense.

I agree with the ranking that most of the Connery ones are at the top. Connery was by far the best Bond.

As a kid I hated the Bond films purely because the only ones I saw were the Roger Moore ones which were way too comic caper and silly at times to me, and it sucked the only good Bond film I knew was Goldeneye with Brosnan, who then got quite unlucky with the scripts getting worse with every new film.

Then I watched Goldfinger when I was 19 , loved it and wanted to see all the Connery ones after that.
Connery was so obviously the best one. For a start, he looked like he could actually handle himself in a fight, which is more than can be said for 60 year old Roger Moore, ‘built like a twig’ Brosnan and ‘midget’ Craig.

To an extent, nostalgia plays a part. But it holds up very well, it's a great film.

For no particular reason that I can remember, we decided to re-watch all the Bond movies during one of the lockdowns.

It was quite eye opening as I was always a fan, but the movies in our opinion have not aged well. Roger Moore used to be my favourite growing up, but a lot of his movies were surprisingly disappointing. I still have a soft spot for the likes of Live and Let Die and Spy Who Loved Me, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to watch them again.

On the contrary, the movies I wasn't that keen on in my younger years seemed a lot better. On Her Majesty's Secret Service was really good, as were the two with Timothy Doltan. Goldeneye was a decent outing for Brosnan but his subsequent movies were really bad. Casino Royal was again a good start, if a bit too Bourne-like, but didn't kick on from there.

One thing I really enjoyed was the soundtracks. They all have cracking scores, even the weaker movies:
