Worst one ever is any of the Roger Moore films, although I did like The Man with the Golden Gun as a kid. Which one is it where at the start he picks up Blofeld in a helicopter and drops him down a chimney? F'&king abysmal! I haven't seen Die Another Day though.

Love diamonds are forever.
Toss up for me is either last Brosnan one with the silly car (and Im a big fan of Goldeneye and Tommorow never dies) or the Roger Moore years starting with Live and Let die.
Weird thing is when I was a kid I loved em for the gadgets especially spy who loved me but I hadnt seen em in years bought the box set and watched em recently and gave up the will when I got to his. I know they where always tongue in cheek but they seem to have dated really badly and cliched rubbish was at its worst for me in his films some of em are ok but some of em are like Carry on James bond. The gadgets are still great though as is the baddies he just makes me cringe.
Casino Royale Craig for me is easily the best bond film. I think he is a fantastic actor but they have dragged it kicking and screaming from a basically a middle aged pervert to a descent character again and its more Jason Bourne than Frankie Howard.
Edit lol Just reading your comments Darwook as its taken me 20mins to write this

Moonraker makes me cringe with those silly lasers. The only 3 things I can remember with fondness are:
Jaws biting through the cable car wire.
The massive tits on that dopey blonde with bins on.
LOL:

Aye as a 5yr old Moonraker on the space station was ooh cool now its wtf lol. Its weird as Im a huge fan of Austin Powers series but I always watched em and felt he was going overboard with the pee take of the bond in some places but going back as an adult with fresh eyes like I did recently hes got it spot on. I mean a bloke biting you as a evil henchman power I mean come on shoot him in the head pml. I dunno why they went so overboard in his films. I think if it had kept on like it had done with Brosnans last one it would be on its last legs. I still cant get over the start of Casino Royale with the street running. I know the main meat of it the card game is abit slow but it has got some well done action scenes and a descent story and not much of it is too overboard to be out of the realms of belief.
And the ending of bond with the music = sheer spine tingling.

I still remember them fondly though and, for me, simply because of my age, Moore really was the first Bond and all Bond comparisons stem from him.

I hated the Moore ones with Jaws at the time and even more so now. The worst character concept and least funny addition to the Bond franchise. I was so glad when Moore hung up his guns and dated sexual innuendos.
Give me the early camp and comedy free Connery, Timothy Dalton and Brosnan Bonds any time in preference.
