Bond for pure grin-inducing Fun?

Which Bond do you put on just to smile & maybe have that extra laugh or two?

This is my hastily compiled possibles list, pick from it or choose your own:

DAF
LALD
TMWTGG
TSWLM
MR
NSNA (eeks!)

As much as I dearly love LALD, I think DAF cracks me up more than any other Bond movie, not just because of the clever dialogue, but Connery's general attitude in it as well.

Thoughts? Rebukes?
Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    Funny though, when I was 11 I took DAF as a fairly freakin' serious movie... :o

    Moonraker easily.. I might hound it a bit and have it close to the bottom of Bond films, but damn if it just isn't good fun and something you can easily have a blast with, especially drunk.

    Though I'd argue Living Daylights as well. While serious at points, I get a kick out of the cello sled scene and a lot of the banter. And, unlike some, I really really love the last third of the movie. Just pure fun while remaning serious enough not to be a joke.

    DAD... first half is great and serious, second half is the one where you just go "Do Saint's Row!" and go way over the top. Stil a fun ride when I'm in the mood though.

    MR, DAF and of course YOLT. YOLT is just pure entertaining fun.

    For me TB YOLT MR and TMWTGG

    I'd not put DAF into that category 8-)

    I agree about YOLT for pure fun. For some reason I had in my mind that the question was about which movie we think is funniest. My bad! :(

    Well that was part of it, but fun can mean many things. YOLT & TND don't have me grinning constantly, but damn they sure are FUN!

    If I put my list in order of the 'fun' factor, it would go something like this:

    MR
    OP
    TND
    TSWLM
    GE

    I think the first half of TWINE may be a good answer.

    Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure what the answer is.

    I always saw TWINE as the darkest of Brosnan's films

    I laugh more during DAF than any other Bond movie. Hell, I laugh more during DAF than when I watch the Flint or Helm movies!

    Yep! And it's waaaaayyyyyyy funnier than Casino Royale '67 - which is supposed to be a flat-out comedy! Go figure!

    Diamonds are Forever, The Man with the Golden Gun, Moonraker, A View to a Kill (an undisputed winner :s ), Die Another Day

    I think Tomorrow Never Dies is just the most fun Bond film of them all. Even just thinking about Elliot Carver's mad scheme just gets me grinning
    ....and the best he ever managed was a sermon on the mount.
  • minigeffminigeff EnglandPosts: 7,884MI6 Agent
    LALD definitely.

    "... dogs all foamin at tha mowth, she wundered if yoo cud cum over n shoot it fur hur" :))

    "SECRET AGENT?! ON WHO'S SIDE?!!!"

    "Now I'm sure there's no need for name calling Mr Bleaker"

    "Holy sh1t"

    "You take this honky out n waste him"

    "It's sure gonna be a bootiful day boss"

    "YOU EVER THINK ABOWT GETTIN A DRIIIVERS LICENCE BOY?!"

    "By the powers, vested in me, I do hereby commendeeeer this vee-hickle and all those persons contained within..... that means you, you smartasses"

    :))

    Who possibly couldn't laugh at any of these moments?
