What's your favorite James Bond film tagline? There have been some great ones over the years, and some films that don't even have them! DAF and LALD are contenders in that category I think.
I really like the tagline for Never Say Never Again, it's quite catchy...

"007 is Number 1! The Excitement Never Stops and The Thrills Never End!"

There are many more that are good also.
What's your choice(s)?

I kinda of like the tag line for Licence to Kill: "His bad side is a dangerous place to be."

For the most part, I don't like the tag lines for the James Bond films, such as "He's never been cooler" for Die Another Day.

I also dislike it when a reviewer raves that the latest entry of the James Bond series is "The biggest Bond ever" or "The best Bond ever."

I couldn't agree more, sure it's fine to call it a great Bond film, but when Bond 21 comes out, someone will call it the "best Bond ever", just like people do with the current ones. It gets a little repetitve, and doesn't show any real depth to the person's review.

Actually I thought that was kind of cool for Die Another Day. It just felt right, like an old tradition.

Now for some of my personal favorite Bond taglines:

Where all other Bonds end, this one begins... - Moonraker

The new James Bond...living on the edge. - The Living Daylights

His bad side is a dangerous place to be. - Licence to Kill

You know the name. You know the number. - GoldenEye

As the countdown begins for the new millienum there is still one number you can always count on. - The World is not Enough

That worked and so did the accompanying poster.

Oooooh, good choice! I like that tagline for GoldenEye, much better than "There is no substitute."

The Double '0' means he has a licence to kill when he chooses
....where he chooses
....whom he chooses!

In fact, the Dr. No poster had a whole load of taglines! I'm also fond of the one to Goldfinger, and the GoldenEye ones are superb.
