You forgot the original "Casino Royale" from 1967 Starring Peter Sellers as James Bond....though it is a piss take...the remake took a similar plotline but with seriousness
Forgot to say thanks for a throughly comprehensive list of Bond films and songs....absolutely love the Bond movies....
my fav Bonds are....
1. Sean Connery (the original is the best) 2. Roger Moore (gave the role some innuendo...lol) 3. Daniel Craig (taken the role too a cool modern & new level) 4. Pierce Brosnan (regained the coolness that Connery began) 5. George Lazenby (only cause he is the only Aussie Bond) 6. Peter Sellers (the funniest Bond ever) 7. Timothy Dalton (nearly killed the Bond fanchise)
My fav Bond song was Nobody Does it Better by Carly Simon. The Spy Who Loved Me is also my favourite Bond film. Roger Moore had a lot of campy fun in his films. They were light weight and you could never really take them seriously. Lot's of action, girls, over the top villians. I find Daniel Craig's film to be too deadly serious, but again personal choice I guess.
