  • ^ Those are favorites by the way. Least goes to:
    Connery: DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER
    Moore: A VIEW TO A KILL
    Dalton: THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS (Not bad at all, but I prefer LTK by a smidge)
    Brosnan: DIE ANOTHER DAY
    Craig: QUANTUM OF SOLACE

    Totally agree apart from Dalton, I place TLD slightly ahead of LTK but both a great movies. The others spot on.

    Daniel Craig: Skyfall

    SEAN CONNERY:

    Thunderball: Sean at his best....and at his wittiest.


    GEORGE LAZENBY:

    On Her Majesty's Secret Service: Only Bond film where the Bond-actor got a Golden Globe nomination. As a newcomer, very talented guy.


    ROGER MOORE:

    For Your Eyes Only: Agree on this one. Only one, together with OP, where Roger is kicking some ass.


    TIMOTHY DALTON:

    The Living Daylights: More serious Bond, but still a guy with some humour who doesn't go berzerk.


    PIERCE BROSNAN:

    The World Is Not Enough: Despite casting errors, I think Brosnan was at his best here. More emotional depth.


    DANIEL CRAIG:

    Skyfall: Absolutely his best so far. Full-rounded James Bond now, with wit, brains and humour: "Open...the....door! Thank you! Carry on!"

    Wowzers mine are the exact same

    favourites
    Sean Connery- Thunderball
    George lazenby- On her majesty's secret service
    Roger Moore- Live and let die
    Timothy Dalton- The living daylights
    Pierce Brosnan- Goldeneye
    Daniel Craig- Casino royale

    And my least favourites for good measure

    Sean Connery- Diamonds are forever
    George Lazenby- On her majesty's secret service
    Roger Moore - Moonraker
    Timothy dalton- Licence to kill
    Pierce Brosnan- Die another day
    Daniel Craig - Quantum of solace

    Worth noting that Skyfall has the potential to dislodge CR as my favourite DC film after I get to grips with my blu ray when it arrives and after rewatching OP and AVTAK recently, I found them to be a lot more enjoyable than MR and TMWTGG and it was a Toss up between those two for my least favourite Rog flick.

    Out of all of the differing opinions and fighting on here, at least we can agree that Lazenby's best was OHMSS!

    Connery: FRWL
    Lazenby: OHMSS
    Moore: FYEO
    Dalton: LTK
    Brosnan: GE
    Craig: CR

    I'm not sure if this praise is a good thing.

    Never mind, apparently.

    For me it's as follows (best and worst for each actor):

    Connery
    best - FRWL (with TB & DN getting honourable mentions)
    worst - YOLT (drags too much in the middle/end and Connery is bored. Moore remade it better - see below)

    Moore
    best - TSWLM (iconic in every way possible. The gold standard for a larger than life Bond film. LALD & FYEO get honourable mentions)
    worst - AVTAK (felt like they stopped trying here and Moore is well past it)

    Dalton
    best - LTK (his performance is excellent and it's really a superb original dark thriller)
    worst - TLD (I like it a lot until Afghanistan where it collapses. Weak female lead & weak villains)

    Brosnan
    best - GE (unquestionably)
    worst - TWINE (the only Bond film I truly cannot stand. DAD comes close but this boring PoS takes the cake as far as I'm concerned)

    Craig
    best - CR (unquestionably)
    worst - QoS (at the moment. I've yet to see SP. It's close between SF & QoS though. I put QoS below SF due to the weak dialogue/characterizations and poor editing of some scenes - but not the opening car chase which I love)

    For me it collapses like the rock of Gibraltar. :))
