Bond rules. I think "I find bond films boring" is more offensive to me than "there's no replacement for displacement"
Connery was the best bond, of course, although I think his return in 'Never say never' was a mistake (and so was the movie...).
Some of the best gadgets were in the pre-Brosnan films. Try 'Octopussy' and 'The Spy who loved me'. The Lotus-turned-submarine rules. I think the flashiness of the newer ones leaves a hole in the setting - the old ones were more "Bond travels to exotic places (and Kentucky... oh, well) to investigate and defend the empire" whereas the newer ones were "here's a palce, here's Bond completely photoshopped into that place, here's a big explosion".
Stephan - there's an idea for your date rent a Bond marathon!
