Okay, I haven’t seen any Bond movies except for SkyFall (which I hated). I should probably try another. What should I watch?

The opposite of Craig is probably Moore in Live and Let Die, so maybe there (but it's also polarizing among fans), or Goldeneye for relatively recent Brosnan, or Dr. No or Goldfinger for classic Connery.

GoldenEye. You got the classic Pierce Brosnan suave and you get Sean Bean as the villian. Was my first bond movie and I still love it. Great action pieces too.

Here's a fun Fake TED Talk on why On Her Majesty's Secret Service is both often overlooked, and also quite possibly the best Bond movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac8JWzyNI6c

All of them. I'd start with the first one, Dr No. It's like going through history.

I don't know what it is about Skyfall but I also just hate it and it's my least favorite of the Daniel Craig even though Casino Royale and Spectre are great. Each Bond is different. My all time non-Craig favorite is Thunderball.

Goldfinger is a classic. I would not start with Doctor No, i never liked that one.

There is an argument for seeing them in order, but I have always loved Octopussy.

James Bond is best when there is a clear bad guy, so when the Soviet Union went away the movies went a little weird.

Why did you hate Skyfall?

Good question! It's been a long time and I don't remember much, but I think I remember complaining to a friend that Bond seemed invincible. He could automatically do anything, and so there never seemed to be any real danger.

Tomorrow Never Dies, Casino Royale are good starters.

You should try to save Casino Royale. It's worth the wait and, after enduring the middle 6 or so, you'll appreciate just how much better it is than all that came before it.

Best opening credits. Best femme fatale. Most believable villain. It's all downhill from there.
