so, I'm gonna go through this series what are the essential

>essential
pretty much all, they have some redeeming qualities. The Moore films take a different direction but I still like them.

The absolute best are
>Dr No
>From Russia With Love
>The Spy Who Loved Me
>Goldeneye
>Casino Royale
>Thunderball
>A View to a Kill

hmm thanks man

I may very well just say fuck it and watch them all, get the full Bond experience

All the films with Gold in the title are the best. OHMSS is great but most online will tell you it's shit.

There are a bunch of shitty ones but that's part of the fun of watching them.

Stinkers:
Diamonds are Forever
Any Moore save for Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker and For Your Eyes Only
All the Brosnan's except maybe Tomorrow Never Dies, but that era is honestly shit
Spectre

I genuinely think Casino Royale and Skyfall are the best, with early Connery, Lazenby's, and I guess License to Kill being the other better ones.

>A View to a Kill
I enjoy how ridiculous it is and I like Walken but it's not a good movie. Best theme song though

Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd are the greatest Bond characters ever.

From Russia With Love is the best.

Sean Connery is the best Bond.

The other best films are:
Dr No
Goldfinger
License to Kill
Casino Royale
Goldeneye
The Spy Who Loved Me

Shit tier:
Quantum of Solace (good opening chase scene)
Spectre
Die Another Day
A View to A Kill (except theme song)

All the others are average.

put Thunderball in your best films list. Now

>>80171345
Nah thought it was average. I liked the underwater battle though.

>>80169609

Gonna go ahead and agree with the others when I say: "All of them."

Just watch them all in chronological order. Don't worry, they don't start off bad and take time to get good. Dr. No is great, From Russia With Love is spectacular, possibly my favourite ever, and Goldfinger is the series-defining breakout movie that was so well received it established all the tropes and cliches of the genre. And that's just movies 1, 2, and 3.

Moore is good, just for silliness and cheese.

And all Brosnan's suck except Tommorrow Never Dies?? Clearly you're forgetting about Goldeneye.

>>80171345
Thunderball drags a bit with all those lengthy underwater scenes

Probably impressive at the time, but doesn't do it for me

You can also watch the original Casino Royale with Barry Nelson if you want to cringe at the sight of an American Bond.

Also watch Never Say Never Again (unofficial movie) if you want to see an old Connery come back for revenge against the producers who were fucking him over financially.
