The main movies you should recommend to a new fan

Hey all, So my title pretty much says everything haha, my girlfriend has never seen any of the Bonds so I was putting together a list of the movies that you would are the main staples in the series that you HAVE to see. I was wondering if anyone had any additions to the list that I thought up myself. In my POV I would have to say the can't miss movies are:
Dr. No
Goldfinger
Thunderball
Diamonds Are Forever (My personal favorite so of course I had to say it lol)
The Spy Who Loved Me
Skyfall

What do you all say? thanks for your opinions, enjoy!

    OH thanks a lot

    If you want my advice, skip the early Connery ones and go for something a bit more modern and more female-friendly.

    My top 2 picks would be:

    The Spy Who Loved Me
    Tomorrow Never Dies

    Here here! -{

    Tomorrow Never Dies happened to be my first Bond experience at an impressionable young age. While not necessarily one of the *best* Bonds (I find the climax to be noisy and redundant... not unlike Skyfall), it served as a well-balanced introduction for this young fan. Love love love that bit with the remote-control car.

    1) The Spy Who Loved Me 2) On Her Majesty's Secret Service 3) GoldenEye 4) Casino Royale 5) Goldfinger

    Good idea, and generally good choices of films. I would give the edge to Licence To Kill over The Living Daylights, and would definitely recommend Casino Royale ahead of Skyfall.
