Here's a fun idea. In this thread you get to match a Bond film to a month that you think would go together. I'll give you an example.

January = Casino Royale. January begins the year, CR begins the franchise.
February = For Your Eyes Only. The Winter Olympics are held in February.
March= Dr No. Jamaica beats a dreary March in London any day.
April = Goldeneye. In London, April is spring, in St. Petersberg, everyone is still freezing.
May = Thunderball. I believe TB took place in the May time frame.
June = The Man With the Golden Gun. Um, school's out?
July = A View to a Kill. Based in Paris and San Francisco where it combines Independence Day and Bastille Day.
August = Moonraker. It was in August where man first walked on the moon.
September = From Russia With Love. No real reason, just wanted to get FRWL on the viewing list.
October = Live and Let Die. The supernatural, voodoo, the oh cult and the eerie fit well for Halloween.
November = The Spy Who Loved Me. Seems like a perfect month to para-ski and to visit a water fortress off of Sardinia.
December = On Her Majesty's Secret Service. It was Christmas time at Piz Gloria. The Angels got some lovely presents.

I got stuck on a couple of months. If you have any other ideas, please post them.

    June-Casino Royale=While Bond is in Nassua the security camera says it's taking place in June. Plus lots of summer weather.
    December-The World is not Enough= Diologue about the millenium. "I always wanted to have Christmas in Turkey"

    January = GE. With the Janus element and the fact that January's name comes from Janus.
    February = OHMSS. Winter atmosphere and St. Valentine's Day for the Bond/Tracy romantic aspect.
    May = AVTAK. It's specifically set in May per Zorin's check to Miss Sutton.
    June = OP. Start of summer vacation and trips to India and Germany seem nice.
    July = MR or YOLT. I going to respectfully disgree with Kerim here. The moon landing was on July 20, 1969 so I'll put MR here though YOLT with its late 1960s outer space themes would fit here as well.
    August = TMWTGG. A trip through the funhouse would be a good way to end the summer as school starts.
    September = DAF. As school starts, the parents have an adult vacation in Vegas.
    November = TLD. Beginning of winter for the cello ski chase.
    December = TB. A trip to the Bahamas would be nice for Christmas.

    January : DAD : Time to begin the year and break the ice of winter with great action. Bond enters a new millennium and a new year
    February : Goldeneye : a trip in former Russia in the middle of winter.
    March : Live and Let die : enough cold, let's go to the Caribbean and listen Jazz in Harlem
    April : Living Daylights
    May : Goldfinger : Nothing is better than Goldfinger to boost the middle of the year
    June : The Spy who loved me : Let's get prepared for holidays by going by car with Bond to the beach (and maybe have a swim with sharks)
    July : Thunderball : It's summer, time to swim in blue waters and lay on the beach with Domino!
    August : From Russia with Love: an adventurous trip on the continent. Perfect holiday travel !
    September : Licence to kill : The end of Bond's holidays, with Felix murder : Let's get down to business !
    October : Quantum of Solace : Crazy action. Useful in october
    November : the month of Casino Royale was released. November always means CR to me
    December : TWINE : because I thought Christmas only comes once a year. With this Bond, it's twice Christmas in a month.
