Casino Royale: The best Bond ever?

I was watching Casino Royale last night, and it's just good. And since list making is a good way to generate readership and participation (it's true, look it up), I'm commissioning the rare Lucid Idiocy contest.

If you're a James Bond fan, and I mean an "of course I watched On her Majesty's Secret Service last night on TBS" kind of fan, let me know what you think the best Bond movies of all time are. Email your list to tfain@macon.com and put "Bond" in the subject line. I delete a lot of random emails.

I'm thinking a top 5, maybe a top 10. Make your case, and feel free to include comments on best Bond Girl, best Bond Villain, best James Bond and best Bond Opening Scene. But if you put License to Kill in there anywhere... I just don't even know how dumb that makes you.

Here's a list of the movies, including a bunch of links to plot summaries, etc. to get you started.

Travis,

How about the Top 5 or 10 losses in Campbell High School soccer.

#1 would be the ass whooping we (varsity) took from Wheeler, my junior year - your sophomore year.

#2 would be the ass whooping the junior varsity took from Wheeler, my junior year - your sophomore year.

I'll let you fill in #'s 3 - 5.

That never happened.

Welcome to 14 months ago Travis. I don't know if its the best Bond film ever, but its at least hovering near the top of the list. I'm just happy we don't have to put up Pierce Bronson's cheesy, totally unfunny one-liners any longer.

By the way, the Bourne trilogy is much better than Casino Royale and pretty much every other action film that has been released this decade.
