Most entertaining James Bond film selected for each actor

Collider identifies the most entertaining James Bond film for each actor in the Eon canon, choosing Goldfinger for Sir Sean Connery, On Her Majesty's Secret Service for George Lazenby, The Spy Who Loved Me for Sir Roger Moore, Licence to Kill for Timothy Dalton, GoldenEye for Pierce Brosnan, and Casino Royale for Daniel Craig.

The report highlights reasons for each pick: Goldfinger for its Fort Knox robbery and a final reappearance on Bond's plane; On Her Majesty's Secret Service for its Swiss Alps setting, ski chases and an emotional ending that ties the franchise's canon together; The Spy Who Loved Me for its Pyramids backdrop and a stunt in which Bond opens a Union Jack parachute after skiing off a cliff; Licence to Kill for intensified chases and tougher fight scenes in Dalton's era; GoldenEye for Brosnan's dam rappel, a Moscow tank chase and a satellite control-array climax; and Casino Royale for a grittier tone, a parkour chase across a Madagascan construction site, tense poker sequences and notable infiltrations.

The list is presented in chronological order rather than as a ranked list and considers only the Eon films. For Casino Royale the article also provides production details: a November 17, 2006 release date, 144-minute runtime, director Martin Campbell, writers Neal Purvis, Paul Haggis, Robert Wade and Ian Fleming, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G.
