Since I preferred the realism of the early Fleming books, I liked the more realistic movies best as well.
1. Caisino Royale with Daniel Craig.
2. From Russia With Love. The switch from Russia’s KGB to Spectre was done for political nice/nice, but was covered by the use of Soviet style uniforms. Lotte Lenya as a villainess was superb.
3. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
Once you get to the more and more unbelievable plots and villains, they are all of a piece, fighting over last place in terms of movies, but lots of fun.
