I might watch The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, or The Man with the Golden Gun if I happen to find them on television, but no promises once they go to commercial. And by no means am I lauding those films with praise (although The Spy Who Loved Me is the closest one to a good movie of the bunch).
For Your Eyes Only is supposed to be the grittiest film in the series, but I found it to be dull if not outright silly (especially the teaser, with the pseudo-Blofield's all to easy demise). Octopussy and A View to a Kill are downright insulting. So is Moonraker, but it at least has a commanding villain and is fun on a visceral level. Live and Let Die was...well, better than Diamonds are Forever. Again, not praise.
I can't believe Roger Moore has had the longest run as James Bond out of all the actors in the role (unless you count Never Say Never Again, but why would you want to consider that film in any capacity?). A dark time for the character, although, to be fair, one that began in the final days of Connery's tenure (and, I would argue, Lazenby's interim misfire).
Thankfully Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan (let's ignore Die Another Day), and Daniel Craig came afterwards to wash the bitter taste out of our mouths.
