Vast majority are enjoyable pieces of escapism, but Goldfinger aside, I don't think you could label many as classics.

I'd rate them all as at least 'good' in honesty, apart from one... I can't remember the title, but the actor playing Bond only starred in that one film, if it says anything They're certainly better than a lot of the crap at the cinema recently!

Her Majesty's Secret Service, in Which George Lazenby played Bond. It lacked atmosphere I thought. I also thought Timothy Dalton was pap as Bond.

Agreed, Dalton just wasn't a Bond figure at all. I'm still of the opinion that no-one's lived up to the first two, though in all fairness they do have that distinct advantage of having been there first...

Yeh they did have an advantage, but generally speaking Moore and Connery are pretty charismatic figures outside of Bond. Brosnan comes in a respectable third behind Moore in my Bond ratings table. (Not that I actually have one of those you understand.)

Agreed again - I was thinking of Pierce even as I typed that last post, but... no, he's just not quite there.

I liked the Timothy Dalton ones, I think they're underated - Licence To Kill especially. I think he brings a darkness to Bond that's quite reminiscent of Flemmings original character

My favourite would be Goldeneye, followed by Moonraker

I actually thought Lazenby made a good James Bond, unfortunately he was given a poor script in one of the poorest Bond films, poor bloke never stood a chance, he was certainly a better actor than Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton and the only one ever to get married. Connery will always be Bond regardless of who has played him since or before if you count Niven which I dont. For me:
Connery Brosnan Lazenby Dalton Moore
I've missed someone I think! I'm sure you'll put me straight.

you've not. And Niven was in the unofficial and unfunny spoof Casino Royale, which came out a year after Connery's first, Dr No.
