Without prejudice to the Connery/Craig debate, I consider Casino Royale, directed by Martin Campbell, possibly the best Bond film, and certainly the most indispensable - the one that offers moral and psychological perspective on all the others, playing as a kind of commentary and critique of the whole franchise. (Some aficionados may push for Lazenby’s lone offering, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.) Which 007 film is the best? Connery fans might pick Goldfinger or From Russia With Love, while Craig fans will go with Casino Royale or Skyfall. Who is the best James Bond? Most fans tend to pick either Connery or Daniel Craig.
