Casino Royale

Licence To Kill

CR
He/she should watch these and decide which tone suits her/him best.
Personally, my first time there was a marathon on tv that showed the biggest film from each actor, bringing you through the evolution of the series:
1. Goldfinger
2. OHMSS
3. TSWLM
4. License to kill
5. Goldeneye
6. Casino Royale
I'm a "the less campy the better" kind of fan, and this list pretty much skips over any of the crap thrown in the 70s and early 80s.
;)
Perhaps the best action in the series honestly. Up there with CR, GoldenEye, and a couple others.

The spy who loved me
Goldeneye
Casino Royale
1 Dr No which is Bond's first adventure on the big screen and the iconic moment where Bond introduces himself for the very first time.
2 On her Majesty's secret service which is the first change of actor and show them the only time Bond Married someone and the last time he officially loved a Bond girl.
3 The spy who loved me which is the best film by Roger Moore very easy to understand and very enjoyable adventure
4 The living daylights where we see a more edgy Bond but still keeping a few touches from the past.
5 Goldeneye which is very fun,pretty hot Bond girls, some romance, an easy to get story and good action to keep him/ her entretained
6 Casino Royale which is the true change of tone and has our most recent actor.
Last I'd id fill the Blanks by going in chronological order
From Russia with love - diamonds are forever
From Live and let die- a view to kill( skeeping the spy who loved me )
License to kill
From Tomorrow never dies- die another day
Quantum of Solace and skyfall
I don't remember my first film but whatever first film you see seems to define your vision and expectation of Bond.
Personal note QoS was my last Bond film to see in the cinema with my dad. He was too sick to see SF. We had seen every film in the theatre since TSWLM.
It depends on how old this newbie is.
If it's someone young, say 25 or even younger, I'd go for Casino Royale
If it's someone between 25 and 45, I'd go for Goldeneye
If it's someone older I'd go for The Spy Who Loved Me
If it's someone I know has a liking for old movies from the 60's or earlier I'd go for From Russia With Love
If it was a crowd of newbies with different ages I'd go for The Living Daylights
That goes for any other entry.

Yep I'll agree with that. It's the film that pulled me in. Got a bit of everything and is a darn fine film.
Other films I'd add would be GF and GE.
Though OHMSS did the trick for me, I'd recommend FRWL for the sophisticated newbie who can appreciate the classics, or CR for the "can't watch anything before 2000" brigade.
