60's: OHMSS (best) (awesome film, the best "film" {IMO} of the whole series)
FRWL (worst) (boring, boring, boring, Daniela Bianchi is not *that* good looking)

70's: Hmm... tricky torn between three... LALD (best) (Jane Seymour is gorgeous, superb acting {for the most part}, and some of the best villains ever)
DAF (worst) (one reason to watch this film: Jill St. John)

80's: LTK (best) (great film, great villain, Dalton was a very good Bond)
FYEO (worst) (Oh my god this movie {to me anyways} is utter trash! Carole Bouquet is farking ugly, I mean REALLY ugly, terrible opening theme {If I want to listen to sappy *beep* all movie long, I'll kill myself thanks a lot}, and the villain that should have been the focus of the film {Emil Locque), is instead just a mindless henchman to the worst Bond villain ever. Only Topol redeems this film. He's awesome {and I'm not Jewish}).

90's: Goldeneye (best) (far and away. IMO the second best Bond film. Every element is good, from the score to the acting, etc.)
TND (worst) (though I don;t dislike this movie, its not nearly as good as TWINE, and doesn;t hold a candle to Goldeneye. Stamper is the best henchman ever! Well, after Jaws...)

00's: Casino Royale (best) (oh my God this film is incredible. The best Bond film {again, IMO} ever, an awesome ride from beginning to end.
DAD (worst) (Worst Bond film ever, and not for the same reasons as other people say it is. Its bland, mediocre, and Zao doesn;t look human. Well, maybe that was the point...)

60s
Best: From Russia With Love (Robert Shaw rules!!!)

Worst: You Only Live Twice (I still like it, it just the weakest Bond film of that decade).

70s
Best: The Spy Who Loved Me

Worst: Moonraker (The laser battle in space says it all.)

80s
Best: The Living Daylights (Timothy Dalton is the most under-rated Bond ever.)

Worst: A View to a Kill

90s

Best: Golden Eye (by default, only because it's not as bad as the other Brosnan films.)

Worst: The World Is Not Enough (Denise Richards as nuclear physicist? Brilliant casting.)

00s

Best: Casino Royale

Worst: Die Another Day (Halle Berry maybe the worst Bond girl EVER!)

Very tough choice, and worst is a strong word. I don't hate them, just like them slightly less.

Best-Lesser
60's: Goldfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service
70's: Diamonds Are Forever, The Man With the Golden Gun
80's: The Living Daylights (excluding NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN that is), For Your Eyes Only
90's: The World Is Not Enough, GoldenEye
00's: Casino Royale, Die Another Day
