Least favorite?
Casino Royale with David Niven and Woody Allen. Right name (James Bond), wrong feel.

Now, as a comedy, that's another matter.

My favorite Bond was Pierce Brosnan. I like Daniel Craig a lot, but have always thought that the movies are supposed to have a sense of fun about them. Craig's have a much more brutal edge to them. Although I did love the parkour scene in the beginning of Casion Royale.

Favorite:

Goldeneye

Least favorite:

On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Lazenby sucks.

I didn't think Lazenby sucked, the script was awful. Bond prentending to be gay? No one could have done that role. He is Bond, James Bond.

I hated Timothy Dalton as Bond, awful awful awful. Roger Moore in a View to a Kill, too old.

Love Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnon and surprisingly Daniel Craig.

Favorites: Dr. No (Ursula!) and Goldfinger (the laser beam, ooh).

Least favorite: Never Say Never Again

Sean Connery is Bond, though I like the last two movies with Daniel Craig. They have a nitty-grittiness that has more in common with the Jason Bourne movies.

I never bought Roger Moore as Bond and I had to check IMDb, I'd totally forgotten Pierce Brosnan played Bond.

I only left off View to a Kill because it had Grace Jones

OK I liked Roger Moore because he was hilarious. "Octopussy" is the silly zenith of that reign IMO. Absurd, but in a good way.

"In Her Majesty's Service" (I think that's the title) is my absolute favorite.

And I think David Niven played Bond once, and I wasn't that thrilled with that one.

"On Her Majestys Secret Service". It's the only one with Australian actor George Lazenby as 007.

I actually quite like the two late 80's Timothy Dalton Bonds. The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill.
