Top Five James Bond Movies

This my be a bit polarizing but it needs to be done. In honor of the new Bond film in November we will start it off with the top five of the man with the martini.

5. Casino Royale (2006) - A great restart of the franchise. They got back to some credibility with going back to (some what) reality. No lasers, no CGI para sailing in the arctic circle, just old school action and a solid story.



4. Octopussy (1983) - Nothing but Bond and campy fun. Oh, and that banister.



3. Goldfinger (1964) - Connery, Bond cool. It has lasers, but 60's lasers are cool and every man was squirming as it crept up to our hero as he was strapped in certain doom.



2. From Russia With Love (1963) - The big red scare in the 60's. One of the best stories from the series.



1. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) - One of the longest of the Bond films but also one of the most serious. They do have some fun but it has a darker tone not reached again until Casino Royale (2006).
