The first point I'm a bit confused about. I was under the impression that she was the main's villain lover.. so these weren't her enemies. They were her protection.

I mean they were his enemies, and he was in a very compromising position. XD

I've actually not seen very many Bond movies...just Goldeneye, Casino Royale, and Skyfall. I really want to like them more - the premise is awesome.

It's also worth mentioning I didn't have a very good theater experience during Skyfall...there were a couple of women a few seats down who wouldn't shut up. Ugh.

I want to watch it again when it comes out on blu ray.

But they didn't know he was on-board when he made nasty.

She was in the shower on the boat, right?

edit: I think I initially read your response wrong, but I can't remember what I thought you said, now.

But anyway, I just imagine some guy comes in to ask her something: "What the heck, who is this?"

Allow me to vajazzle your Netflix queue with my recommendations of must watch Bond films.

Essential Bond Viewing:

Dr. No

From Russia With Love

Goldfinger

You Only Live Twice

Live and Let Die

The Spy Who Loved Me

The Man with the Golden Gun

The Living Daylights

Goldeneye

Semi-essential:

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

A View To Kill

Licence to Kill

The World Is Not Enough

And of course...all the new films are essential viewing...with Quantum being the sort of so-so film.

Disagree with a lot of this list

I wouldn't call Live and Let Die, You Only Live twice and ESPECIALLY Man with the Golden Gun as essential Bond films. TMWGG is my 4th least favorite Bond film. It's so dull!

I would personally bump License to Kill and On Her Majesty's Secret Service to must watch. And For Your Eyes Only would go into semi-essential.

I added The Spy Who Loved Me.

Live and Let Die is a personal favorite of mine...from the theme song, to the car and boat chase, to the awkward and cheesy race relations. I think it's a fun film. Plus...Baron Samedi.

You Only Live Twice is -- in my opinion -- underrated. Plus, the end is what gets parodied in the Simpsons, making it semi-essential nerd viewing. Plus I love the theme song again, and the gimmick (Bond dying) is good. I thought Skyfall sort of revisited some of the themes.

Man With The Golden Gun is perhaps a dull film...I just like Christopher Lee. Plus, it establishes the Golden Gun mythos.

I like OHMSS...I don't know how essential it is, just because it was in a lot of ways a one-off. The constant actor changes with Blofeld is annoying, imo.

I also like The Spy Who Loved Me, but if I was to recommend a single Moore film, it would be for Your Eyes Only.

I think Live and Let Die is a fun film as well. Great score. And yeah, the whole racial thing is just bizarre to watch now, but makes for a very unique setting/villains for the franchise thus far.

YOLT.. is iffy.. it has a lot of goofy elements that I love.. the jet pack, Little Nellie, the lair in a volcano, the ninjas and the likes.. but we shall say it's more near the top middle for me.

I can't in good faith ever recommend the Man with a Golden Gun to anyone!

And I love OHMSS because it's one off.. it feels so vastly different from the entire franchise, partially because of that and how toned down it is.

[KillerGremlin]

Yeah, OHMSS is an interesting film...I would say I definitely recommend it, but it gets sort of lost as "canon."

I think everyone can agree that Dr. No -> From Russian -> Goldfinger are essential....after that, things get crazy.

Best Bond villain? Now that's a question for the nerds.

I think before it was a discussion, but hard to really say anything after Silva.
