Have had a Connery James Bond marathon for the past couple of weeks. I'm not going to rate these, because I feel they need no rating.

Dr. No - James has the charm, but he also has that darkness to him in this movie. He has some cold blooded moments in this. Love the cinematography and overall style of this film.

From Russia With Love - This film had one of the most interesting villains played by the always fantastic Robert Shaw. I really love the atmosphere, and the overall look of it.

Goldfinger -Count me in on the long list of people who think this is the best Bond. Everything from the soundtrack, to the car, to the bond girls, to the villain. Auric Goldfinger was such a great villian, shame he didn't pop up more. Blofeld was cool, but I think we got enough appearances of him.

Thunderball - If this movie didn't look so good, I wouldn't like it as much. Yes, it has more over the top moments, and brassier instrumentals, but it drags at times. It's saved by excellent cinematography and Connery's charm.

You Only Live Twice - Back to the good old formula, finally get to see Blofeld. The only thing that I can say negatively about it, is the little moment were they made bond look like "a japanese man". That was pretty bad. The soundtrack was just as good as it's predecessors.

Diamonds Are Forever - Don't care what anybody says, I love it. Sure, it's completely cut out the seriousness for camp. I really think it makes a funny bond. Of course, I am the type that likes elementary level humor, so I can't really be a good judge.
