One a week sounds good to me .. I would suspect we can do some retroactive discussion if someone misses a week
Do them all in chronological order starting with Dr. No (skipping Casino Royale (1967), but including Never Say Never Again (1983))
So, the order is
Dr. No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Diamonds Are Forever
Live and Let Die
The Man With The Golden Gun
The Spy Who Loved Me
Moonraker
For Your Eyes Only
Octopussy
Never Say Never Again
A View To A Kill
The Living Daylights
License To Kill
Goldeneye
Tomorrow Never Dies
The Work Is Not Enough
Die Another Day
Casino Royale (2006)
Quantum of Solace
Skyfall
... and late next year, SPECTRE

Okay .. first up. Dr. No (1962)
Dr. No is a 1962 British spy film, starring Sean Connery; it is the first James Bond film. Based on the 1958 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming, it was adapted by Richard Maibaum, Johanna Harwood, and Berkely Mather and was directed by Terence Young. The film was produced by Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli, a partnership that would continue until 1975.
In the film, James Bond is sent to Jamaica to investigate the disappearance of a fellow British agent. The trail leads him to the underground base of Dr. Julius No, who is plotting to disrupt an early American manned space launch with a radio beam weapon. Although the first of the Bond books to be made into a film, Dr. No was not the first of Fleming's novels, Casino Royale being the debut for the character; however, the film makes a few references to threads from earlier books.
Dr. No was produced with a low budget and was a financial success. While critical reaction was mixed upon release, over time the film has gained a reputation as one of the series' best instalments. The film was the first of a successful series of 23 Bond films. Dr. No also launched a genre of "secret agent" films that flourished in the 1960s. The film also spawned a spin-off comic book and soundtrack album as part of its promotion and marketing.
Many of the iconic aspects of a typical James Bond film were established in Dr. No: the film begins with an introduction to the character through the view of a gun barrel and a highly stylised main title sequence, both created by Maurice Binder. Production designer Ken Adam established an elaborate visual style that is one of the hallmarks of the Bond film series.

I'm down like a clown.
Are we all watching at the same time, or watching separately? Could be a fun evening in the chat.

Young Jane Seymour was, um, attractive.
Add Yaphet Kotto to the list of good things about Live and Let Die.
I'd happily join a Bond evening in Chat, but then we're all in different time zones (apart from NP who never sleeps) and all the discussion would be in there instead of on here.
Maybe a weekend would be best?

the movie in chat thing is a fun idea but I'd prefer the discussion on here to be honest...And prefer paying full attention to the movie as well 
Okies...so how long have we got to watch Dr.No?
Monday is Bond Night.

It isn't funny, but I imagine there being an elaborate plot behind the theft, involving a power-crazed genius, freaky sidekick, glamorous assistants, and a large underground complex which will inevitably be blown up.
Notoriety. Boasting about being able to get something high profile.
