Just to be fair, I am making it so you can choose any of the Bond Movies...yes, even Casino Royale... ;)

I dunno, I really liked Jaws coming back in Moonraker. He was able to enunciate 100 times better than Eegah.

On Her Majesties Secret Service is easily the worst Bond film ever.

I was bieng threated with death by wolf raping before it was cool!.

I'm pleasantly surprised that people replying to this thread are considering the crappy older ones and not just automatically choosing Die Another Day.  My choice would be Diamonds Are Forever.  Want to see Sean Connery at his most uninterested (just when Bond should be filled with rage in the aftermath of his wife's death), out of shape, and unattractive?  Anyone up for the skankiest Bond girl, the worst Blofield ever, and the dullest location shots?  This is the film for you!  The theme song is pretty good, though.

I dunno.  It's a decent Bond movie, but the wrong is playing it.  If Connery was in that movie, it would've been pretty good.

As for worst, most of the Dalton ones form one large, congealed, lump in my brain, so one of them :)

Far from the worst.  Actually my favorite Bond film.  Once you get over the fact that George Lazenby was the Sean Connery scab replacement (and even then he wasn't that bad as a Bond), the story and action were actually rather good.  Diana Rigg as Tracy is the best Bond Girl ever.  It has an awesome ski chase action scene, and one of the first instances of a bevy of Bond Girls.  This one always gets crapped on because of Lazenby, but if it was a Connery or Moore it would be considered one of the classic Bond flicks!

License To Kill was the worst Bond film ever!

I voted for Casino Royale because it's the latest one and I could only vote for one. There's only one Bond movie I have ever liked and that's Live and Let Die I even own the Tarot pack from it. It's the best. The others sort of blend together.

Halle Berry... and an invisible car? Yeah, that's a piece of shit right there. Die Another Day = Worst.

Is there another option besides Die Another Day? I mean, seriously. Halley Berry in a charicter less dignified than Storm, slightly more dignified than Catwoman, Brosnan radiating "This is the last one of these dogs I have to do" with his acting, and Q replaced with John Cleese, missing the point.
Add on the most ridiculous scar in Bond Villain history and Madonna, and you have a film that, as a plain matter of fact, MUST get riffed.

As bad as some of the older ones are, they have some of that cheesy charm that keeps them safe from my disliking them.  Some of the Moore ones grate on me a bit.  I haven't seen all of the Dalton ones, or maybe they all just blur together, so I can't really vote on one of them.
I think Moonraker has a lot going for it, and OHMSS is in my top three.  I only bring those up because they were mentioned already.  Considering how good Goldeneye was, I have to go with Die Another Day for how far it fell.  I didn't even bother seeing it for a few years because I could just tell it would be bad.

I voted for Casino Royale. Its way too long and the ending sucked. That said, I didn't hate Casino Royale by any means, in fact I thought it was better than average. Its just that I haven't seen very many Bond movies and preferred the Peirce Brosnan ones over the new one.

*Despite what others are saying I'm gonna go out on a limb and call Die Another Day my favorite Bond. Not a great movie by any stretch, but it had plenty of good action.

I think that Die Another Day was pretty bad on my list of bad Bond movies. While Moonraker was silly with its concept, it was still something I can sit down and watch. Die Another Day was just all sorts of bad and the ice castle thing they were trying to do was just not believable at all, to me at least. But still, it was good just something I would not want to watch everyday.

I agree quite a bit with you.  I've seen virtually all of the bond movies and even the older movies have their own cheesy charm.  Die Another Day on the other hand is unexcusable.  The movie has all of the ridiculousness of the Roger Moore bonds with NONE of the charm or appeal.  Although, the ice hotel is an actual location, still doesn't make it any less of a set peice.

Yeah, read Kevin Murphy's book for more info on Ice Hotels.
