Trailer for the 1996 VHS box sets
14. The man with the Golden Gun
This is the one with the midget and christopher lee, right? Yep, that's the one, and its kinda crap. Not really bad, but just enough into the Moore-era Bond to seem pretty laughable. Oh, and Lee's villian, Scaramanga has a third nipple.13. The Spy Who Loved Me
This is one of Roger Moore's better films, despite not being as memorable as Moonraker of Live and Let Die. Although it does feature a car with submarine mode, a feature only appreciate by the überüber-rich and super-spies alike.
12. From Russia with Love
Now don't get me wrong, there are a lot of reasons to place From Russia With Love higher on this list, and its got a lot of good qualities. But for me, the sillier James Bond is tops, and this cold war espionage tale can get a bit grating.
11. Diamonds Are Forever
Ahh, the return of Sean Connery after a disastrous turn from George Lazenby. 007 seems disinterested in the overly-ambitious plot and punctuations of over-the-top silliness that would soon become a staple of the series.10. For Your eyes Only
I remember For Your Eyes Only being the first James Bond movie I watched a lot when I was a kid. For some reason this is the only one we owned on vhs before the box sets came out, maybe because the amount of skiing in it--but I can't be sure. Something about a greek shipping heir and him visiting his wife's grave. Snore.9. A View To A Kill
This one has Christopher Walken acting extra crazy as a blonde in this post-Deer Hunter role with also-creepy Grace Jones as his sidekick. I can't really remember the specifics of the plot of this one, but I'm sure it has lots of explosions and shit to keep you midly entertained for 90 minutes. Too bad like most Bond flick this runs around 2 hours, leaving 30 minutes to sit on your hands (or dick around on the internets).
