    Films I would never touch:
    DN, FRWL, GF, OHMSS, CR, SF

    There may be some minor issues with my list but I can live with these films.
    Some one earlier mentioned the boring boat chase in FRWL. Interesting observation. the film lost a lot of Menace after Grant was killed but I can still live with it.

    Those are my top six. You have class.

    DN (will forgive the screeching of the tyres on dirt during the car chase) :)
    FRWL (any minor issues are made up by the train scenes between Bond and Grant)
    GF (timeless classic)
    TSWLM (for me it is over the top without going over the top, if that makes sense)
    LTK (everything for me in the this movie just works, it all fits together nicely)
    CR (a bit bias as this is my No.1)
    SF (I like to just sit back and enjoy the journey that unfolds. They say time flies when you are having fun, it is amazing how quickly this movie passes for me, it doesnt feel like 2+ hours).

    Good question

    Obviously From Russia With Love.

    Maybe The Spy Who Loved Me (purely as a Bondian cinematic extravagance, of course), Licence To Kill (Leiter had a butt-load of morphine at the end of the movie ;-) ), and maybe, just maybe Casino Royale.

    Some of the films I have minor quibbles with - Dr No and Goldfinger's pacing; Thunderball and it's Vulcan concealment; not having Lazenby dubbed for the Piz Gloria scenes for example.

    Whilst other films, mainly the post Majesty's - pre The Living Daylights, I would change the over reliance on overt humour and sight gags.
