On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)
“Despite George Lazenby, this is one of the best in the series, with some scenes on par with a Hitchcock thriller. If Connery had done this movie, it probably would have been the best Bond of all time. The Bond girl is a real character instead of a bimbo, there is a compelling love story, and the ending is unforgettable, packing an emotional punch not often seen in Bond films.”
“If Connery had made this film, it wouldn’t have been nearly as good. In the 1960s, Connery WAS Bond. After he left, the filmmakers were faced with a seemingly insurmountable task: they had to convince the public that Lazenby, a model with little acting experience, could fill Connery’s shoes. Since the filmmakers knew that Lazenby didn’t have the chops to carry the whole film, they made sure that the rest of the film--the script, the sets, the scenery, the supporting players--were stellar. Their anxiety over the film’s success propelled the film makers to new creative heights, and without that spark, the film would have been lackluster.”

Goldfinger (1964)
“Most people consider this #1 -- my argument is that since Bond spends most of the middle section of the film locked up in a cell, it’s not quite as exciting as From Russia with Love. But those two films, in terms of story and direction, set a standard for the Bond films that has not been repeated since.”
5)
GoldenEye (1995)
“just plain better”
“yes he was obiosly the best”
“goldeneye was a really good film staring pierce brosnan who is well I think the best actor who has played james bond in a long time”

From Russia with Love (1963)
“The only Bond movie to date that truly involves espionage. It’s got Sean Connery, the best Bond of all time, in top form, with the best plot of the entire series and superb villains in the form of Lotte Lenya (Rosa Klebb) and Grant (Robert Shaw). Plenty of suspense, minimal gadgets, and Bond is forced to rely on his wits as a ruthless combination of spy and detective.”
8)
For Your Eyes Only (1981)
“A return to a harder-edged Bond, with Roger Moore giving probably his best performance in the role.”
9)
Live and Let Die (1973)
“A stylish introduction for Roger Moore’s Bond, with great action sequences and more down to earth bad guys. Lots of fun.”
10)
Thunderball (1965)
“Another of Connery’s better films, with a compelling plot and superior direction. The underwater scenes get a bit tedious, but Connery seems to be enjoying himself throughout.”
