I've looked over this forum quite a bit lately, and at least 33% of the threads are "The Best...the worst...etc." So I thought, let's give schmoes the chance to assemble their own Ultimate Bond film (and least-ultimate, i.e. worst) using their choices from those threads. Using only names, gadgets, that have been used in the 20 official Bond films, assemble your ultimate and worst Bond film using the following criteria:

Teaser
Title
Bond
Girl
Villain
Gadget
Action Scene
Car

Feel free to add or drop criteria as needed...

Just a note: By "teaser" I mean the pre-credits deal, not the teaser trailer of the film.
