Goldfinger.
Classic mid sixties look all around…Connery…just the planets aligning perfectly.
Fun fact: on the title song you can hear studio musician Jimmy Page on guitar.

Hard to hear the guitar over Shirley Bassey's shrieking (she is way too loud IMO).
I loved Shirley Bassey's theme songs.
After reading all the books I realized that Bond was no nice guy. I have come to like Timothy Dalton. He portrayed him very well, but I did not like him at the time
The gadgets all look corny now, but Sean Connery will always be Bond for me. Then Craig.
Thunderball is still my favorite
GoldenEye
Skyfall
Goldeneye

Though I actually enjoy some of the others more- I think that OHMSS, overall, is the BEST Bond film. No reliance on silly gadgets, and the closest, most true rendition of any of Doyle's Bond novels, of all the films. It's a real film with a real story, as opposed to the more-contrived plot-device-reliant films that came before and after it.
That said, my favorite Bond film intro, is indeed, "You Only Live Twice". That's just visually stunning.

David Niven always added a great touch to any movie he was in whether it was Around the World in 80 days, or a bit part in Spitfire. I always thought The Saint from British and American TV did the Best job at trying to add a bit of English wit to the series. Connery was bore!

'The Spy Who Loved Me' is my favourite. Saw that at the cinema when it came out, back when they had a screen that was fifty foot wide.
Maybe not a popular choice for the best but it has almost everything from every previous film - ski chase, fight on the train, crazy villain lair, car chase with helicopter, big gunfight at the end, and so on. Plus the best production values up to that point.
Also my favourite theme song although 'You Only Live Twice' is a close second.
The last good one was 'For Your Eyes Only', since then I can take it or leave it. Although 'Goldeneye' has its moments.
Craig-era was very disappointing. He's good - the stories, dialogue and directing are not.
Connery was my favourite in the role of Bond.
