I may also recommend OHMSS or CR.
Great acting,classy,great locations and much more.
I would be inclined to start modern. Show someone CR. If they like it, then give them 2 or 3 of the older, better ones.
If i'd have never heard of bond, then watched Goldfiner (Great film btw), i probably wouldn't have bothered with the others, may have been slow and dragging, but i find them interesting after watching GoldenEye (the first Bond i watched from start-to-finish), because it was modern and very, very exciting and i now find the old ones exciting, because they started it all :')
-For Your Eyes Only and GoldenEye (double-billing for a friend who really wanted to get into 007, and he loved both)
-Live and Let Die and The Spy Who Loved Me (this friend liked LALD and then fell asleep not even halfway through TSWLM, haha)
Therefore you are bang up to date currently with this 007. Then? If you want too? You can discover the earliar incarnations of the role like i did, which was alot of fun.
(as a sampling; otherwise watch all in order)
Dr. No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball
Live and Let Die
The Spy Who Loved Me

If really limited for # of films to watch or time: DR, FRWL, TSWLM, FYEO, TLD, GE, TND, and CR, QOS (it ties up from CR so I would still include it)
So the bottom list is quicker, yeah.
Top 5 I'd recommend would be: FRWL, TSWLM, TLD, GE, CR (there, one for each Bond, but leaving GL out).
After that viewing of 5, then I'd throw in OHMSS as the kicker and then next recommendation would be back to QOS to get us into the current era.
And I'd give them the Fleming books for sure.
