IMO these are the BIG three for first-time out new, serious & fairly literary Bonds.

DN was fresh, new, and close to the novels in a time sense. It was breaking ground, and setting the stage of a hard British agent dealing with outlandish international adversaries.
TLD was introducing us to a very literary Bond still functioning in the confusing and complex Cold War era, if keeping just a few of the absurd elements built up from the previous two decades.
CR was a retooling Bond for the 21st Century with a serious take on the character not seen since Dalton's 2nd film- tough, ruthless and ready to kill, in a world where evil has been covertly privatized for power and profit.

Which one defines Bond for you?
Or do they all, each in different ways?
Are any of them so iconic you can't be objective?
And... are you pissed that I didn't include OHMSS, LALD or GE in this topic? :))
