One Bond Movie

If you could choose one Bond movie to watch for the rest of your life, which one would it be and why?


For me it would have to be Casino Royale (2006). It had everything I wanted in a Bond movie. Good story, amazing Bond Girl in Eva Green, Jeffrey Wright was perfect as Felix Leiter. I also liked Giancarlo Giannini as Rene Mathis.

    Skyfall for me. it was tough choice between that and Casino Royale :# . But Skyfall really is a Classic Bond film.

    Casino Royale

    It just makes me think of romance, espionage, rivieras, luxury, struggles, deception, fantasy, getaways, sweeping string orchestras, perfect sunlit European days, and on and on... I feel like it embodies these elements to my tastes better than any other film I've watched.

    The film is so beautiful and desirable. It remains my favorite film both in the franchise and of any films I've watched.

    While I consider FRWL my favorite Bond film, I think I would have to agree with some of the others in the room and take OHMSS with me into the abyss.
    It's all right. It's quite all right, really. She's having a rest. We'll be going on soon. There's no hurry, you see. We have all the time in the world.

    More than ticked all the boxes for me.

    FRWL would be my reserve (well until Skyfall makes it to Blu-Ray).

    The Spy Who Loved Me is everything I could ever want in a James Bond movie, and as imperfect as some may argue it to be, I wouldn't change it for the world. Spy is lightning in a bottle; a high-concept, charismatic, large-scale spy adventure that pushed the medium of the James Bond film to spectacular heights and also rekindled the franchise in the face of uncertainty. Every scene is a joy to watch, and many of the trademark Moore-era gags are toned down in favor of some great dramatic moments. This is my favorite Bond film, and one of my favorite films of all time.

    OHMSS for me without a doubt (closely followed by FRWL)

    Well my favourite is LALD, so I'd go for that. However, watching the same bond film over and over again, and not any of the others, would just blemish the enjoyment of it.

    Goldfinger. If I had to pick a second choice it would be You Only Live Twice.
