All the James Bond movies pre-2000's are currently free to watch on youtube
- Thread starter Bor Gullet
- Start date
Are any of these seriously worth watching? The earliest Bond films I've seen we're the Brosnan ones and those were only okay. I can't imagine the earlier ones actually aging well.
part of their charm is how stuck in their times they are tbh
especially the Roger Moore bond movies, they are 70's as fuck
If you just want the best from each actor, I'd recommend Goldfinger, For Your Eyes Only, The Living Daylights, and GoldenEye (no I don't care about Lazenby).
But if Fat4All's gifs from The Man with the Golden Gun don't do anything for you, I don't think you need to hit the oldies
I can get down with some camp. Intentional or otherwise.
What sacrilege is this?
I'd recommend, in order:
Goldeneye
Thunderball
Goldfinger
The Spy Who Loved Me
The next tier would include:
Moonraker
Live and Let Die
Diamonds are Forever
You Only Live Twice
From Russia With Love
For Your Eyes Only
roger moore's bond films are cheesy and they know it, which is refreshing for the time, they lean into the camp hard and as a result the movies are a lot of fun
I remember seeing a joke image long ago about Roger Moore's acting. It was a panel showing Moore doing each of: happy, angry, sad, intrigued, surprised, etc. Every picture in the panel was identical.
If by "first half" you mean the first 15 minutes in North Korea
Chronological:
From Russia with Love
GoldFinger
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
The Spy Who Loved Me
For Your Eyes Only
The Living Daylights
Licence to Kill
GoldenEye
Depends on the rights holders, no way to tell.

Awesome. I can catch up on the very few I haven't seen. Thanks OP. Watching Diamonds Are Forever now.
I'm convinced to watch more, especially the Roger Moore ones. I can't let this gold pass me by.
This is accurate as the best of the series, would probably replace OHMSS with Man with the Golden Gun, though.
The Living Daylights and From Russia With Love are probably the best. Goldeneye is the only good Brosnan.
Bro you can't just send the 4k video file directly to my email address?
Lazy AF
It's about equal to The World is Not Enough, which is to say watchable but not very good. TND and Die Another Day duke it out for which villain plot is the silliest of the Brosnan tenure. The latter clearly being more wierdo scifi, but the former having the most out of whack motivation behind it.
i love totally-not-steve-jobs-mixed-with-ted-turner with the submarines
he wants WW3 for the ratings
also the movie theme song is fucking fire
Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies are closer than father than the latter two.
Tomorrow never dies is my favorite Brosnan bond film. Nothing to be ashamed of that movie rules.
I had a splendid time with The Living Daylights. I have to listen to that opening theme song again. Dalton was a great Bond.
I'd say kinda "gritty" but still actually Bond. He isn't underrated, he is rated perfectly correctly, which is the best James Bond.
Shout it louder for the people in the back! The only real competition is From Russia With Love and Casino Royale, IMO.
Admittedly Lazenby is one of the film's weaker elements, but he nails that last scene. However had Timothy Dalton accepted the job offer when he got it for this film in 1969, I do think more audience would probably look on the film fondly.
i watched diamonds are forever for the first time like a few months ago and that movie is just savagely dumb, lol. i recommend it for anyone who wants a buffet plate of camp with their bond movie.
There was also that sword fight and...
Okay, maybe I'm being generous.
