Best film in the Bond series: Casino Royale.
Best 007 film: Goldfinger.
CR is the best acted, plotted and made Bond more gritty and believable than ever. However, this makes him slightly less 'Bond'. Now, for the best '007' movie (ie. the film that best captures Bond as the indestructible superhero he effectively is and showcases the deliriously unrealistic and over-the-top elements of the Bond universe which we all love), Goldfinger is untouchable for the reasons mentioned by comadorcrack and sunami88.
