The Sean Connery movies stand out.  In order of my favorites: Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, From Russia With Love, Dr. No, and You Only Live Twice.  Stay away from Thunderball and Never Say Never Again (his 1980s comeback). And most definitely stay away from the Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan movies (too many to mention).

The Ian Flemming book published in 1953 that is the basis for the movie was also titled "Casino Royale".  The movie simply kept the same title.  If you look at the wikipedia link below, you will see that the title was not the first choice for some... but it does not explain why they allowed a title that is grammatically correct to start with.

"Dr. No" came out in 1962, and is the first James Bond feature length movie.  \n\nHowever, the first on-screen appearance of the James Bond character is in an episode of television's "Climax Mystery Theater" in 1954, which was taken from Ian Fleming's novel, "Casino Royale".  "007" was an American spy known as "Jimmy Bond", played by Barry Nelson.\n\n"Casino Royale" was subsequently remade in 1967 as a spoof of the spy movie genre, and every spy was named "James Bond" to confuse the enemy.  It starred noteworthies such as Peter Sellers, Orson Welles, and Woody Allen.\n\nA new "Casino Royale" is currently in production, starring Daniel Craig as the latest James Bond.  It is the first Bond film to be named after an Ian Fleming book or story since The Living Daylights (1987).

I must concur with your assessment.\n\nDaniel Craig is not Bond material.\n\nI was thinking more along the lines of Clive Owen :)

Yeah i purchased it on DVD  the other day. as i never got a chance to catch it at the cinemas. And what i would say is that it's good however as the media had portrayed it of being the best out of the three. I didn't think it was that good to be able to say that. Some of the action scenes are good but could've been better. And it can never be compared to James Bond as 007 is a 45 year old franchise and still doing extremely well. Have you seen Casino Royale?........... you'll realise the difference if you've watched it. Ian Fleming the guy who created Bond was i would say a genious who created a character that has so many different shades and is loved by people all around the world. Tom Cruises Mission Impossible Franchise just can't come even close to James Bond. \n\nI don't know what Cruise thought that lets make an american spy movie francise but the answer is no.

Casino Royale is good

Doctor No starring Sean Connery was the first Bond film but the first book was Casino Royale. Dr No together with From Russia With Love were probably the only two books that followed the plot of the books. Later films were given the Hollywood treatment and lost all credibility to fans of Ian Flemings books. I would urge everyone to read the books, they're fascinating.\n\nAsa a matter of fact Bond was Scottish and born in 1920. He served in World War II in the Navy reaching the rank of Commander. All the Bond adventures were set in the years 1953 to 1962. Ian Fleming died in 1963 and none of his books had car chases,  speedboat races, over the top stunts or huge sooty explosions. Also it was important for Bond to keep his identity secret unlike the characters portrayed in the films as everybody seemed to know 'the famous Mr Bond, Secret Service Agent.'

James Bond is good - a bit of boyish fun and violence but still teaches them respect and good manners! A hero for life! And he always gets the girl - that can't be bad!

My ALL TIME FAVE: is TITANIC !!! \nThis film has MORE heart and soul than any other !!! YES,\nthere are sp.efx ( all films have them ). BUT if that film\nlacks that HEART & SOUL---then all the sp/efx will not help.\n\nEveryting works with TITANIC, sets, costumes, dialog, the\ncamera work,the colouring of the sceens, makeup, hairstyles.\n\nAnd last BUT not least, the soundtrack. Astounding !!! The\nmusic composed by James Horner is warm, funny and at the same time heartbreaking. With Will Jennings giving words to\nan incredible love theme. Add Celine Dion to give this great\ntheme a voice " MY HEART WILL GO ON !!! "  You have a winning combination that can not be equaled.\n\nTITANIC WILL GO ON & ON !!!

No.  If I go to a James Bond movie there are things I want to see and hear.  Gadgets, meglomaniacs,Guns, women (not naked), and cars with a standard transmition.  Not some sissy running around naked.  These things separate Bond movies from other action films.  Bond fans will go out just because it's a Bond film (well with this new sissy maybe not especially if he's running around naked and can't drive a real car)\n\nBond films are supposed to be over the top with music and the set and gadgets.  If I wanted to watch a rap video I would watch a rap video.

Sean Connery has been and always will be the only James Bond.  The original producers for the movies, Dr. No was the first if you don't count the Woody Allen farce of Casino Royale, wanted Roger Moore for the part because he had played a similar type of role ion "The Saint" on tv for some time.  However Ian Fleming, having seen Connery in the Disney film "Darby O'Gill and The Little People" thought he would be better for the part and of coarse became 007.  \nPierce Brosnan was the first choice to play Bond after Roger Moore retired from the role but contract obligations to "Remington Steele" would not allow him to assume the role at that time.\nThe worst James Bond by far was George Lazenby for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service."  More trivia, in 1984 Sean Connery appeared as James Bond in "Never Say Never Again," Roger Moore played the role in "View To A Kill," and in the TV movie "Return of the Man From UNCLE" George Lazenby ha d a Cameo in which he was driving an Astin Martin with the license number JB007. \n\nThe best Bond film is "Goldfinger" but most all of them have something memorable.  There have been classic villains and girls and amazing gadgets.  The formula of guns, girls and gadgets has been what has made the series so succesful over the years.

It has to be the Godfather. It was made in the seventies and people are still able to enjoy it. The acting is brilliant featuring greats like Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. It has a great sequel Godfather II, granted number III is not all that great. The book for the Godfather is also great. Although the Godfather is one of my favourite film there are many more for example the Shawshank redemption, reservoir dogs etc. etc.
