For me it's a toss-up between the first two.

Crusade has its moments and is not bad by any means.

Gotta go with Goldeneye. Might be a little bit biased here, since it was the first Bond movie I ever saw, and also the first FPS I ever played. But I rewatched it a few years ago and it still holds up well. So many memorable action scenes, and Brosnan is excellent as Bond. Gives Judi Dench a great introduction as the new M, and Q's scenes are good. Lots of great quotable lines too. Great supporting characters, like Ourumov and Xenia.

Other top Bond movies for me:

Casino Royale
Skyfall
Dr. No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
The Spy Who Loved Me
For Your Eyes Only

Also enjoyed Live and Let Die and both Dalton flicks, despite what others may think of them.

Look at this fake opinion.

The Ultimate Edition was good.

Granted, the whole Martha twist is stupid no matter how you slice it, and the climatic battle is still pretty bad. I mean, the enemy (Doomsday), just looks like a giant turd monster. Seriously, he looks like a giant pile of **** molded into a creature.

But the rest of the movie I think is entertaining. The warehouse and nightmare sequences are particular highlights for me, and I enjoyed the frequent good v evil themes and overt comparisons between Superman and Jesus etc. I liked the setting, Amy Adams was good as always, Laurence Fishburne was good as the newspaper boss, Jeremy Irons makes for a good Alfred, and Ben Afleck was very good as both Bruce Wayne and Batman.

Frankly, I liked it more than Justice League, which seemed like a bit of a train wreck and oh-so-predictable. JL just seemed so by-the-numbers.

Eh, to each their own I guess.

Die Another Day is definitely the worst of the Brosnan era, but I don't think it's the worst of all time as so many people seem to.

The opening sequence is pretty damn good (then again, all the Brosnan Bonds have good opening sequences). I love the concept of Bond infiltrating North Korea to assassinate a rogue North Korean general, and then have him get captured and tortured for 16 months. Great concept. Unfortunately, the rest of the film falters after that. Feels like a really big missed opourtunity. Bond tortured in North Korea for 16 months, and then all he needs is a shower and shave and he's back to normal. They could have gone in an interesting direction with that, but totally squandered it.

The dialogue in most of the movie is painfully cheesy, the entire climax on the plane is horrendous, and of course the infamous CGI wind-surfing scene marks an all-time low for the series. Still, it's not all bad. I love Bond's escape in the beginning, blowing up the c4 in the diamond case using his watch, and then the ensuing hovercraft chase is great, if just for how unique it is. How many action movies use hovercrafts in any scenes? Off the top of my head, I can only think of Rumble in the Bronx. And as TC mentioned, the sword fight is surprisingly well done. Seems like both actors are giving it their all in that scene. There's other little bits and parts that I enjoyed, like when Bond knocks out the obnoxious jerk at the resort and pretends he's a patient to gain access to the clinic.

The invisible car...doesn't really bother me that much, but I can see why that was a "jump the shark" moment in the series for many people.

For me it's between Diamonds Are Forever or Quantum of Solace. I voted Diamonds but it could've been either.

Diamonds is just horrendously bad, you can tell Connery doesn't care at all in this one, his lethargy for the character/ series really shows. The whole chintzy glitz and "glamour" of '70s Las Vegas doesn't really fit well with the Bond universe IMO. And while we're at it, the moon buggy chase has got to be one of the lamest chases in the series, which is really saying something. The only good scene in the whole movie is the fight scene in the elevator. And as someone already mentioned, Blofeld's demise was incredibly anti-climactic.

Quantum is just bad all-round. Feels like bad Jason Bourne knock-off. The opening car chase could've been really cool, but it was poorly edited, and the movie just goes downhill from there.

The Man with the Golden Gun is probably one of the more disappointing movies in the series, given the potential it had. If there's any James Bond movie I would be ok with being remade, it's probably that one. The car flip stunt was incredible, although sadly diminished by the dumb slide-whistle sound. At least the midget henchman Nick Nack, played by Herve Villechaize, was funny.
