Personally, I love On Her Majesty's Secret Service, despite not having Sean Connery in it. It is one of only two James Bond 007 movies (the second being The Spy Who Loved Me) in my small laserdisc collection. Yes, George Lazenby is the least memorable Bond, but he still did a fairly good job filling in Connery's shoes.

Of course, Connery will always be the definitive James Bond, and all of his films are excellent. If there is one that's considered weak (not counting the Thunderball remake Never Say Never Again), it's Diamonds Are Forever.

Roger Moore is the Adam West of the James Bond 007 series, but I grew up on that era and A View to a Kill was the first 007 film I saw in theaters, and I've seen every single one in the big screen ever since. Yes, Moore's stint is a mixed bag, but whether you like him or not, The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only should be in anyone's 007 movie collection. In retrospect, I actually think Moonraker is better than A View to a Kill, though they are the bottom two of the Moore era.

I'm more or less neutral toward the Timothy Dalton era, as both The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill are not very memorable (aside from the hot Bond Girls who starred in them).

I always thought Pierce Brosnan was a perfect Bond way before Dalton got the job. As a matter of fact, Brosnan was supposed to replace Moore, but backstage politics by NBC (who had him under contract for Remington Steele) kept him out. And while Brosnan really made a name for himself as 007 with GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies, his stint was marred by The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day, which are the two worst Bond movies ever made.

Daniel Craig has been perfect as Bond, especially in Casino Royale, but Quantum of Solace was a bit of a letdown.

Currently, I only have Goldfinger on Blu-ray and Casino Royale on DVD, but I'll be building up my 007 Blu-ray collection within the next year.
