Have you seen Moonraker recently?  It's hilariously funny and cheesetastic as soon as they go into space.

I would do:
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Live and Let Die
The Spy Who Loved Me
Goldeneye

WOAH! I controlled F this whole mother, and I spotted NO A View to a Kill!??! What's up!?

Goldfinger, from Russia with Love, and Dr. No are givens. I highly suggest Moonraker. maybe Octopussy in its place.

I haven't seen many.
Living Daylights.

A View to a Kill is deeply enjoyable, especially for the Duran Duran song

I'd say that if there was a marathon, and assuming the marathoners had never seen any Bond (Because often the ones that have been seen shapes the marathon):

Dr. No
Goldfinger
Octopussy
The Living Daylights
GoldenEye

I left out Lazenby, who I think is really not that essential; to my mind, he's basically had the pendulum swing back, he was so wildly hated at first now he's like beloved for that reason, even though he's really pretty mediocre and his movie (On Her Majesty's Secret Service) is way too long.

I've never been a Moore fan so I picked the Moore one I think is the most "Moore-like" -- silly and weird and comedic and strange.  The Living Daylights is actually one of my favorite of ALL the Bond movies, and GoldenEye is Brosnan's best I think.

I'm not a huge Bond fan, but here is my top 5

1.On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
2.Dr. No (1962)
3.Casino Royale (2006)
4.Goldfinger (1964)
5.From Russia with Love (1963)

Thats right Casino Royale at # 3, and no Roger Moore!

either Dalton film
Goldeneye/World is not enough

Goldfinger is my favorite but then again I haven't seen many, pretty much only Dr. No  octopussy and the recent ones with Pierce Brosnan, also Casino Royale.
