The Living Daylights Goldfinger Licence to Kill The Spy Who Loved Me Live and Let Die From Russia with Love Dr No. Goldeneye You Live Only Twice Thunderball For Your Eyes Only Casino Royale Man with the Golden Gun Octopussy Tomorrow Never Dies On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (need to rewatch this one, as I’ve only seen it the once & my memory of it is hazy at best - excluding the ending) Diamonds Are Forever The World is Not Enough Spectre A View to A Kill Moonraker Quantum of Solace Die Another Day
I still need to see “Skyfall”. I don’t why, but my motivation to check it out is just not there.

You should make up your own mind, of course, lostinlimbo, but I’ll say that’s a wise decision. Skyfall subjects Bond to the modern brooding-hero-with-a-troubled-past paradigm, which I really dislike. I’m not particularly interested in Bond’s “troubled past”—I don’t want the subject of the series to be itself, which ultimately turns into decadence, a loss of a purpose. I much prefer it to be about story and character.

I much prefer it to be about story and character. Interesting thoughts. It does seem like a polarising film - hardly any middle ground. I’ll probably watch it eventually, as I do own it in the James Bond DVD box collection.

FridayOnElmStreet , are we only counting the “official” Eon series, or do Never Say Never Again, the ‘67 Casino Royale, and the ’54 Casino Royale also count? I included the first but not the latter two. I was just counting the Eon ones. Although I will say that NSNA is OK. The 67 Casino Royale is crap. Never seen the 50s one.
