| Post subject: | James Bond: Dr. No to Skyfall |
Now that Skyfall has been out for a few weeks, how would you rank the 23 James Bond films? If you haven't seen all of them just rank the one's you've seen. Here's my updated list 1. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) - ***** (A+) 2. Goldfinger (1964) - ***** (A+) 3. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) - ***** (A+) 4. Skyfall (2012) - ***** (A+) 5. Casino Royale (2006) - ***** (A+) 6. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) - ***** (A+) 7. From Russia with Love (1963) - ****½ (A) 8. Licence to Kill (1989) - ****½ (A) 9. Goldeneye (1995) - **** (A-) 10. The Living Daylights (1987) - **** (A-) 11. Live and Let Die (1973) - ***½ (B+) 12. You Only Live Twice (1967) - *** (B) 13. For Your Eyes Only (1981) - *** (B) 14. The World is Not Enough (1999) - *** (B) 15. Thunderball (1965) - *** (B) 16. Dr. No (1962) - *** (B) 17. Quantum of Solace (2008) - **½ (B-) 18. A View to a Kill (1985) - **½ (B-) 19. The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) - **½ (C+) 20. Diamonds are Forever (1971) - **½ (C+) 21. Octopussy (1983) - ** (C) 22. Moonraker (1979) - ** (C) 23. Die Another Day (2002) - *½ (C-) |

I've vastly underBondeducated. I've seen CR, the Brosnan ones, Moonraker, the Man with the Golden Gun, License to Kill. That's right... no Connerys. |

Jmart007 wrote: The Best Bond's (****) 1. Live and Let Die - (My favorite) The Least Revisited Bond's (**) 22. Die Another Day I don't understand how anyone could rank these two films first and worst?!? They are both of the same great style - - pure Bond formula flicks which get everything right (the "gags, gadgets, and girls" as I've read a million places this week). Anyways, I'm just going to use two categories for my own rankings: Great Bond Movies: Die Another Day The World is Not Enough Live and Let Die The Man With the Golden Gun The Spy Who Loved Me Moonraker For Your Eye's Only Octopussy On Her Majesty's Secret Service + all of the Sean Connery Bond films Crappy Bond Movies: Casino Royale Tomorrow Never Dies Goldeneye A View To A Kill The Living Daylights Licence To Kill |

From what I recall: Great enough to make a top 10 of the year Casino Royale The Spy Who Loved Me The pretty good Dr. No Live and Let Die On Her Majesty's Secret Service The Living Daylights Goldeneye Thunderball The World is Not Enough Octopussy Tomorrow Never Dies Decent Die Another Day A View to a Kill Mediocre Moonraker the rest I either don't remember that much seeing them since it was a long time ago (namely some of the Sean Connery ones like Goldfinger), or I haven't seen them at all... |

All i know is the worst Bond is Live and Let Die, even worse then Moonraker. Its like watching a silly blacksplotation movie. Best is a tie between Casino Royale, The Living Daylights, Goldeneye and You Only Live Twice. |

Bond films are subjective I guess but the sheen seems to worn off quite a bit on the new era of Bond. |

I just can't believe people like Die Another Day that much (of course it was Bradley, so I really don't believe it to begin with). It was so phoney and going through the motions, there's not a hint of soul in the delivery of any line and whilst I don't have a problem with CG you have to sell it with a little more gusto than that awful climax. The highlight of the film was the swordfight. In my opinion there are two Bond formulas and the over-the-top aspect has it's place, but there are definately great (You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me... which ironically are like the same film) ones and exceedingly poor ones (Die Another Day, Moonraker). Likewise of the more grounded Bonds, there are great ones (From Russia With Love, Casino Royale) and really poorer examples (Licence to Kill). |

Live and Let Die was just sooooo boring to me, it consisted entirely of Roger Moore getting his Jive on, so unappealing!! You Only Live Twice was gloriously OTT right down to the missile thingy having hot vaginal sex with satellites. |

I'm horribly uneducated in Bond. I have the first two box sets and haven't even watched all of them yet. I have seen all of Brosnan's films, Casino Royale and Goldfinger. I would rank Goldfinger, Goldeneye and Casino Royale at the top of those six. Tomorrow Never Dies and TWINE are good. DAD is all right, nothing great. This gives me the incentive to watch those box sets and get Vol. 3 and 4 soon. |

I haven't seen all, but most of them. Moonraker is CLEARLY the worst. And of the four Brosnan Bond flicks, The World is Not Enough is my favorite. Sue me. |

World is Not Enough would be a top tier Bond if it had... - No Denise Richards - A more substantial finale (the sub explosion needed to be bigger and more climactic) |

The World is Not Enough had the coldest Brosnan moment when he shot Sophie, that certainly made it memorable. |

I have only seen three Bond movies: Goldeneye, Die Another Day and Casino Royale (2006). I think it was Goldeneye in which the movie ended at a huge radio antenna observatory. I live 10 minutes from it! It's truly majestic. That was the best part of the movie. I guess I need to become more educated on Bond movies, especially Connery ones. |
