I've seen all the Bonds. Despite the reputation, several of the earlier ones make me cringe because of the acting and dialog. I really like the way they are handling these new ones. I think Craig has done a better job with the character than anyone and the modernizations that they began in the Brosnan era have set a great context. I am looking forward to this new one.
Even having said that, the last one had me scratching my head a bit. Especially when they killed off that strawberry blonde. Man, if I have a type, she hits the bullseye.

Would they work as-is if released today for the first time? Doubtful, but bearing in mind the era they were made in, man... they are just pure spun gold to me. Absolute escapist adventure entertainment. Love 'em love 'em love 'em.
I thought the last two were good. Casino Royale being the better of the two, but Golden Eye will always be the best Bond movie.
Tank chase scene.
Disagree. Thunderball. Claudine Auger, Lucianna Paluzzi, Molly Peters, Martine Beswick. Gives me blueballs just thinking about that quartet of smoking hotness.
