The cheese makes the old ones great. I think it was the Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton films that ruined Bond.
They were ridiculous. Although I think that's why the film's are still so popular, the cheese and Britishness are what most people love Sean Connery's first few film are so good, in terms of the story mainly. My personal favs are From Russia with Love, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
The plot and story of that one are brilliant and it's also pretty sad as Bond gets married and his new wife killed. The only Bond with George Lazenby. It's a very underrated film. Not all the ADR is poorly dubbed though, then again most movies have effects added in post production.
However I would say of you think some of the later movies are too cheesy then read the original novels as they allow you a better way to experience the great characters and stories.
