FRWL is the third best entry in the entire series as well as being Connery's best. It is near flawless being primarily a spy thriller with a great Bond, villains, locations, and a wonderful Bond girl. This also contains my favorite "Q scene" with the briefcase.
The first appearance of the greatest Bond villain to ever grace the screen: the faceless Blofeld. Seriously, all of the villains in the series are immediately sup-par when placed next to this evil.

Great selection! As a matter of fact, I'm considering watching it tonight.
Stupid is a harsh term for a discussion forum in society where people are allowed to a)have different tastes and b)express why they think what they do with logic and reasoning.
All of those are good Bond films. The only great ones of those listed are From Russia With Love and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
The Spy Who Loved Me, while a really good entry, falls victim to an overlong climax sequence where Bond leads a team of naval officers to overtake Stromberg's ship.
Goldfinger is perhaps the most overrated of the Bond films(GE giving it a serious run). Much of it takes place on a Kentucky farm and the plot is too camp and overblown for my tastes.
Dr.No is perhaps the most underrated of the Bond films(excluding OHMSS).
These three are not on par with either FRWL or OHMSS, however.
They are all far superior films to Craig’s poor attempts. It will be such a good day for Bond when they get rid of him. The minute Craig walks onto our screens he destroys what could have been a good film.
Like most fans I was gutted when they announced that he would not be returning. But on reflection I would prefer just about anyone to Daniel Craig. The guy is just a horrid actor.
Please do not use this thread as a place to argue about which Bond films are better... that's not it's purpose. Feel free to carry the discussion on elsewhere (via PM or another thread). So long as you are civil, of course.
