Diamonds Are Forever (1971) – After the dark times of the George Lazenby era (which totaled exactly one Bond film), Sean Connery makes a triumphant return to the role which he will forever define.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) – So I’ve come to this one… George Lazenby. This is the one and only time George Lazenby played James Bond.

You Only Live Twice (1967) – As I have said before, it is an undisputed fact that Sean Connery is the best James Bond.
