The main movies you should recommend to a new fan

DiamondsAreForever91

Hey all, So my title pretty much says everything haha, my girlfriend has never seen any of the Bonds so I was putting together a list of the movies that you would are the main staples in the series that you HAVE to see. I was wondering if anyone had any additions to the list that I thought up myself. In my POV I would have to say the can't miss movies are:
Dr. No
Goldfinger
Thunderball
Diamonds Are Forever (My personal favorite so of course I had to say it lol)
The Spy Who Loved Me
Skyfall

What do you all say? thanks for your opinions, enjoy!

If you want my advice, skip the early Connery ones and go for something a bit more modern and more female-friendly.

My top 2 picks would be:

The Spy Who Loved Me
Tomorrow Never Dies

Here here! -{

Tomorrow Never Dies happened to be my first Bond experience at an impressionable young age. While not necessarily one of the *best* Bonds (I find the climax to be noisy and redundant... not unlike Skyfall), it served as a well-balanced introduction for this young fan. Love love love that bit with the remote-control car.

Good idea, and generally good choices of films. I would give the edge to Licence To Kill over The Living Daylights, and would definitely recommend Casino Royale ahead of Skyfall.
