Non, je ne regrette rien

Now Tomorrow Never Dies? For some reason, I could watch that movie on repeat - whatever flaws the movie might have melt away whenever Jonathan Pryce is onscreen eating the entire set dressing. If I had to choose a favorite it would probably be For Your Eyes Only, with a nice mix of goofy Roger Moore clowning and stone-cold murder Roger Moore, and one of the best soundtracks in the series.
I always feel like TND is somewhat less than the sum of its parts. Michelle Yeoh is great, the motorcycle chase is a lot of fun, Jonathan Pryce is hamming it up like nobody's business...but somehow the whole thing never quite clicks for me, and I always end up enjoying it less than I'd like. The World is Not Enough is the opposite for me; it's not without its flaws, like Denise Richards and some unmemorable action sequences and Denise Richards, but it's got a great villain, a nicely darker tone, lets M play a bigger role, and I really enjoy it overall. It's also got the best song of the Brosnan era.

On the subject of Brosnan, I'll also admit to having a soft spot for Die Another Day. Like, it's a terrible movie, but it's one that has a lot of fun in being stupid. Compare to, say, A View to a Kill, which commits the double sin of being bad and boring.

Like, imagine if it was Lazenby or Dalton; the dudes who got shafted by circumstance and timing.
Timothy Dalton as a Bond villain would be goddamn amazing.

 I kind of agree that the Venice part drags a bit, but the ending is so drat good I always end up forgiving it.
