James Bond/Daniel Craig

For me Connery has been the only great Bond. That being said, I've never seen a Craig/Bond film. What is your recommendation as to which is the best of the series.
 
Daniel Craig is my favorite Bond. I think a lot of that may have to do with his series being a little more grounded version of Bond. If you are only going to see one of his Bond movies I'd recommend Casino Royale.
 
Connery in the early movies.

Fleming didn't want Connery but when he saw the finished result he was absolutely sold. So much so that supposedly he wrote some of Connery's history into the following novels.

Craig’s Bond was the beginning...he was what was before Connery and Moore.

It’s worth a watch; I really enjoyed it. He’s less polished, more prone to make mistakes. Plus, Judy Dench.
 
I haven't seen all the movies but I've seen every bond except Craig. My rankings are-
Connery (head and shoulders above the rest)
Lazenby
Brosnan
Barry Nelson (only American)
Dalton
Moore

I’ve never seen a Bond film at all. Any Bond.

You are one sick puppy, Jason. I saw Dr. No on TV when it made it there, and Thunderball after it came out, along with Goldfinger and several of the others. SPECTRE was REAL! Well, maybe not.

Haven't seen a Danial Craig one yet, but he looks more like a Bond to me than Roger Moore. Maybe my thinking was influenced by Connery. Sean is the King. I will have to see if I can get a Craig one on DVD though.

No. They go in order, Casino Royale is first. Thank me later.

I've seen the '67 Casino Royale spoof one with David Niven and it was crap, but the Craig one sounds interesting. I think I'll take your advise. Where is Amazon and my credit card?

 
The Daniel Craig flicks are the best.
Casino Royale is brilliant but Skyfall is outstanding.

Goldfinger is my all time favorite. Casino Royal remake and Never Say Never Again at 2nd and 3rd spot. You Only Live Twice at no. 4.

The next JB will probably be a woman, or something like that.

Connery - the gold standard
Craig - Connery owning the role is the only reason he isn't top
Lazenby - excellent in his one chance; shoulda had more
Moore - good early, but hung around two films too long
Brosnan - could have been good, but the run of films was horrible
Dalton - the role just didn't fit him (but maybe it would have in the 70s)

I have seen every Bond film more times than I can count.
