OHMSS is my favorite bond movie. casino royale was fantastic, and only made the letdown of quantum of solace that much more painful. you can take all of the moore, dalton and brosnan movies and throw them into a villain's volcano.

People dis Die Another Day, but if you take out the tidal wave surfing scene and unnecessary invisible car it actually was pretty good.

My top 3:

Goldfinger
Casino Royale
Goldeneye

I don't like the new "Bonds" much. There's really not much Bond at all in the movies. They could have called them something else and not changed the whole franchise around. Casino Royale was a cool action movie but not a good Bond movie. Quantum of Solice just plain sucked.

actually, the new bond is the closest to the actual bond from the books. so, in reality, there really is a lot of bond in the new bond movies.

he started off as a "blunt object"... he was really sloppy in killing people, but was ruthless about it. as the books went on, he became more like a "scalpel". he only really messed with women in order to complete his objectives. he didn't fall for any hot girl that was around or anything.

I don't care about the books, no one reads any more.

quoted for fail.

I think you misread the post title.
This poll is for best bond movie, not worst.

Tie between Goldfinger and Goldeneye for me but with the videogame, going to vote Goldeneye.

Quoted for truth.

Seriously, when people say they like the new Bonds (with Daniel Craig), I wonder if they ever read a children's story called "The Emperor's New Clothes"...

"Die Another Day" should have been the end of the series.

Did he even use any gadgets in Quantum of Solace?

Agree completely. Actually all of the Sean Connery Bond films are fantastic but Goldfinger is just a cut above.

:confused: Everyone who voted Goldeneye just because the game was so awesome or Casino Royale just because of the action get a serious WTF from me.

I voted Goldfinger, but I loved Casino Royale. Not for the action (although it was impressive), but because I liked the darker, more serious version of a bond film. Maybe it's because I'm not 13 anymore, but I've gotten a little bored with the super cheesy, ridiculously unbelievable stuff.

TBH, I haven't seen all of the Bond movies in their entirety. I've seen bits and pieces of a lot of them, and from what I've seen, I liked Goldfinger the best out of the older Bond movies, plus, who can beat Sean Connery?

I liked both Casino Royale and Goldeneye. Goldeneye was easily Brosnan's best Bond movie and my favorite of the two. QoS sucked, I don't think I'll ever watch it again. Casino Royale had a lot of action, which I like, but it didn't seem to have a lot of the fun gadgets that Bond movies are known for and changed the franchise.

Goldfinger, The Living Daylights, Golden Eye. I have to admit that I haven't watched the new Bond films with Daniel Craig. USA showed Casino Royale 4 days in a row this past weekend but never manged to catch it.
