On Her Majesty's Secret Service is one of the more faithful ones.
It is one of my favourites next to From Russia with Love. But I have to agree that OHMSS is not a very good Bond Movie.
I too was very disappointed in the "new" Casino Royale. The book is one of the better ones in the series and would make a great book. But it would not have enough action and special effects for today's audiences.
The Ian Flemming books make great travel/waiting room books. Easy to read, fast paced stories, and entertaining. Can't ask for much more from a fiction book.
