The gay villains (Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd) would have been a unique angle if it was played subtly, and not painfully mincing and camp.

Die Another Day was bonkers. James Bond surfs into North Korea, does a thing, gets caught, gets tortured, get traded for a North Korean guy's son, and goes on to stop a plot involving a space laser and a castle made completely of ice. It also had a really great sword fight.

Also gonna disagree with worst villain death. Kid me loved watching Kanaga get blown up with the air bullets. Stromberg getting shot in the dick and chest was always a bit of let down after an awesome movie, imo.

Drax gets shot then floats away. Really boring villain death when you're already doing cheesy sci-fi stuff in a space station. They just had a dildo laser fight and you're not gonna kill the villain with gamma rays or a space machine? Shameful.

I love Live and Let Die for it's Adam West Batman/Scooby Doo-esque campy ridiculousness. I also love New Orleans and Sheriff Jay DUBBALYAH Peppah and the "get whitey" blaxploitation vibe of it.

But Pepper's cameo in The Man With the Golden Gun was a bit much. Christopher Lee owned, though.

My favorite Bond film is probably Goldeneye, entirely because I played the N64 game way too much and watched the movie too many times as a kid. From Russia with Love is great, and I also love Live and Let Die and Man with the Golden Gun because they're so ridiculous.

Best unironic vote is From Russia With Love. In all honesty the series started to get tired after Goldfinger/Thunderball and got into camp territory before Connery was gone. So Russia is the best.

Taking that in to account best bad Bond film is Diamonds Are Forever with just how much of a trainwreck that film is.

Worst Bond film is honestly either of the Dalton films, probably Living Daylights (though the theme is pretty underrated). The Brosnan films had this kind of 90s cool that I can't put my finger on (at least Goldeneye), while the Craig films have finally gone into a direction that made Bond good again. Dalton was just in this weird transition that tried to do what the Craig movies but failed miserably.

Also For Your Eyes Only is pretty bad. I know some Bond purists love that movie but I always found it boring with a laughable opening scene and lame theme song.
