Which film to introduce my girlfriend to the series?

Absolutely_Cart

She likes horror, sci-fi and psychological thriller. Shes picky. She likes movies that are intelligent or at least interesting.

Possible options

Casino Royale 06 - one of the best. Well directed. She might find it too millennial-ish though.
Goldfinger - the gold standard of bond films but she might find it too campy
The Living Daylights - Dalton!

Any other recommendations?

My ex had only seen Daniel Craig's Bond films before she met me, so she had never seen a real Bond film. She didn't like Daniel Craig's Bond either. I introduced my ex to real Bond with TLD since she played cello. She also liked YOLT because she was a big fan of Roald Dahl's stories. Pick one that you think she could best relate to, and not just because it's one of the best Bond films.

possibly FRWL which feels almost like a thriller/ film noir at times

Whichever you show her, if she doesn't like it ... Dump her.

Hehe - too right!!

If I'm correct you are quite young (excuse me if I'm wrong). Therefore I would go with Daniel Craig and Casino Royale.

Its modern, the girls generally love him as Bond and the story to a non Bond fan has quite a twist

I'd say this - girls seem to get a kick out of Casino Royale

Got to be CR. it has everything.

TLD is the most 'chick flick' of the Bonds, but given your gf's taste for intelligent movies with horror elements 'LTK' might appeal.
