My favorite trailers from each era:

Connery-Thunderball US Release Trailer

Lazenby-Rather obvious.

Moore-Live and Let Die trailer-the really long one, great use of the Bond Theme to get the audience drooling for more, and Moore for that matter.

TSWLM-Probably the best Bond trailer from the 70's, gives you the sense you're going to be seeing the most incredible adventure ever put on film.

Dalton-I like the first LTK trailer. Short, to the point and very cool.

Brosnan-I think that all the trailers up to TWINE are great. The TWINE teaser is good but the relkease trailer is mereley adequate, much like the film itself. I love all three DAD trailers.

I love the Dr.No trailer because of the Connery voice over...
"My name is Bond, James Bond...my instructions were implicit...I leave for Jamaica in 2 hours, licensed to kill."
"She thought I was dead, I decided to prove her wrong...zzzzziiiiiiippppp!"
"Honey clung to me like a wet bathing suit, but it was business as usual..."

I like the OHMSS trailer because they refer to Lazenby as "the different Bond, the different 007"

I like the Golden Gun trailer because of the extra footage of the duel between Bond & Scaramanga.

I love the Goldeneye trailer because of the way Pierce is introduced-"You were expecting someone else?"

I think it's hard to compare eras for trailers since marketing has changed so much over the years. But it's interesting to note the differences. I like looking at them as though I would have been seeing them for the first time before released. So going by that view, my favorites are:

Connery -- Probably YOLT, although looking at DAF, it would be exciting seeing Connery back in action after a four-year absence.

Lazenby -- I guess I'll go with OHMSS.

Moore -- LALD was a good trailer, makes you excited about a new Bond. I think the one promising the most is TWSLM. That ski jump is a hell of a way to begin a trailer. Then you get Jaws and all the other great stuff. A lot of the other Moore trailers afterward seem really weak by comparison.

Dalton -- I remember seeing the LTK teaser before seeing Rain Man over six months before it came out. It made the wait hard.

Brosnan -- GE, by far the best Bond trailer of all. After a 6-year wait, you get a cool intro to Brosnan followed by non-stop action with that great Parodi Fair version of the Bond theme. Who wouldn't be excited? The TND trailer was in much the same vein, and I also liked the second DAD teaser also.

Id have to go with the Dr. No trailer too, the Bond voice over is quality.

OHMSS...well it was a close choice...

Moore...hmm, I like most of his trailers tbh.

Dalton - certainly the LTK teaser trailer, he looks badass in the outfit with the 007 watch

Of course, GE trailer. You were expecting something else?!

Connery - Goldfinger trailer. Amazing. Maybe the best trailer of them all.

Moore - Not sure. Need to rewatch. I think I like the final AVTAK trailer, the one that iris's out on him hanging from the Golden Gate Bridge.

Dalton - I love the final, full TLD trailer. The one that ends with him says, 'I must have scared the living daylights out of her."

Brosnan - Easy, the first GE teaser. Actually, this might be the best trailer of them all.

Some of the recent trailers are fantastic but i've notice that the narrations for some of the older bond movies are pathetic, take OHMSS for example - who in the hell came up with this?

"The New Bond... the different 007" and...
"take a look at this guys dolls"

The GoldenEye theatrical trailer has to be the worst just beacuse it gives away the whole 006 thing

But, you see, I love that un-PC sexism for all the wrong reasons . I like the OHMSS trailer; but, for my money, the LALD trailer is the one that really makes me want to watch the movie again. Little did we know back in '73 that the trailer really did show us the best bits of the film!

... or Dr. No => "I was in hot water up to my sleeves!"
My favorite teaser: GoldenEye (CR comes close though).
My favorite full trailer: Die Another Day. I remember how I expected to see the best Bond movie ever back in October 2002.

I was lucky for never seeing that trailer until well after becoming a Bond fan.
