I always loved the man with the golden gun. Also, while Pierce Brosnan got mostly steaming piles of shit for scripts in his bond roles, I did love Goldeneye.

You Only Live Twice is the Connery film without Cubby and Salzman producing it, right?
Are you thinking of Never Say Never Again? That movie was truly horrible.
You Only Live Twice was Saltzman/Broccoli. After that was OHMSS with Lazenby. Connery returned once after that for Diamonds Are Forever before doing that tragedy, Never Say Never Again
"You Only Live Twice." Ninjas! Hot Japanese babes! I've probably seen it a dozen times or more. But last time I saw it, I realized it makes absolutely no sense.
"From Russia With Love," great, an actual spy story, not a superhero movie.
"For Your Eyes Only" - underrated. Again, a spy story.
The Craig "Casino Royale" -- excellent. "Skyfall," not quite as good.
the game made the movie more popular/liked, IMO. He was a terrible Bond but if I had to choose one of his TND was my favorite due to the gadgets and cooler premise behind the villain.

Also isn't "Never Say Never Again" basically a remake of "Thunderball"?
It IS a remake of "Thunderball" -- there was a loophole in the rights deal for "Thunderball" that let them remake it. They couldn't use the classic James Bond theme or lots of other Bond tropes, but they could make the movie.

"Thunderball": Claudine Auger, holy moly.
Directed by Irvin Kershner of Empire Strikes Back fame. He only directed two movies after ESB. Never Say Never Again and the comically bad RoboCop 2 (you got any Nuke, man?)
OHMSS has the best script, but the wrong Bond. The rest of the Conneries, are good, Spy Who Loved Me was good,the Craig's have been decent to pretty good. Blofeld IS NOT Bond's brother.
But when I got older I gravitated to the more serious Sean Connery flicks. I first liked Diamonds Are Forever, most likely because the film was a little campy.
I'd have to say Goldfinger and From Russia With Love. I always loved the fight scene on the train in the latter film
I really enjoyed the run of these three in a row... Â
As someone said, it's not his fault that the plots were crap. He made the most of it.
I heard he was supposed to be in the Bond films after Moore, but for some reason (can't remember why_ Timothy Dalton got it and Brosnan was devastated because his hero growing up was Sean Connery.

He was under contract for "Remington Steele" and they wouldn't let him out to do Bond. So the Bond producers went to Dalton. Once Brosnan was done with the series, they signed him and Dalton was done.
The only Bond I didn't like was Dalton. I thought Lazenby Â

but i like anything with Walken in it
Casino Royals
From Russia With Love
Dr No
Thunderball
The Daniel Craig Bond films have also been very good, especially the first, Casino Royale.
Robert Shaw was a good villain in that one
You Only Live Twice - (Underrated)
Skyfall
From Russia With Love
Robert Shaw was a good villain in that one
It’s probably my favorite. Just the perfect setting and feel for a spy movie.
20-year-old Jane Seymour for the win.
You Only Live Twice - (Underrated)
Skyfall
From Russia With Love
You Only Live Twice is the Connery film without Cubby and Salzman producing it, right?
LOL. So, you like them all.
Holy shit, I saw that one. It's my favorite too!

SUCH A COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD FINGAH
Kinda odd that Jill St. John was in the same movie as Lana Wood.
I'd have to say Goldfinger and From Russia With Love. I always loved the fight scene on the train in the latter film
I’ve been surprised how good Craig has been.
From Russia With Love
Live and Let Die
Tomorrow Never Dies
Casino Royale (Daniel Craig)
