Rank The Bond Films!

Xander Vos · Rank The Bond Films!

Top ten, top five, or all of them if you want. This is my opinion:

22. A View To A Kill
21. Octopussy
20. Moonraker
19. You Only Live Twice
18. Live and Let Die
17. The Living Daylights
16. Die Another Day
15. The Man With the Golden Gun
14. For Your Eyes Only
13. Tomorrow Never Dies
12. Thunderball
11. GoldenEye
10. The World Is Not Enough
9. Quantum of Solace
8. Licence To Kill
7. Diamonds Are Forever
6. The Spy Who Loved Me
5. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
4. Dr. No
3. Goldfinger
2. Casino Royale
1. From Russia With Love

1. Easily the best Bond movie, no need for explanation I take it.
2. Casino Royale, for some reason, sticks with me as one of the greatest Bond films of all time, with its recent nature no part of it. It strips away for the first time since Goldfinger all those blasted gadgets and just packs in great action scenes with nothing over the top.
3. Goldfinger was my favourite Bond film before sitting down recently to watch most of the ones I'd missed, and slots in at number three for this reason.
4. Dr. No, the original, delivers us all the icons of the series, and is a great debut for the series, but the fact that it's lacking certain elements and just wasn't that great a storyline in my opinion sees it at 4.
5. OHMSS wasn't as bad as many people think. Lazenby had to step into Connery's shoes, and play a Bond in love, which hadn't been seen before, and I thought did it well. He made the wrong career move when he was told Bond was dying and that hippy movies were where it was at, and that's unfortunate.
6. The best Moore film by far, with Jaws a great, great Bond villain, easily one of the best. It's not often that the henchman outlives the villain.
7. Obviously not one of the better Connery films, but I still enjoyed it, despite its confusing plot. I liked the humour in it, and the acting wasn't as poor as many believe.
8. Not a big fan of Dalton to be honest, but even I can grudgingly admit that this was a pretty decent film.
9. Not as good as I was hoping, too short, a confusing plot - I'll need to see it a few more times - and not reintroducing any of the elements that I'd hoped it would - Q, Moneypenny, 'Shaken, not stirred' etc.
10. My favourite Brosnan film for some reason, everyone else hates it. I quite liked it, though I haven't seen it in a while so my opinion may change.
11. A good debut by Brosnan, reinvigorated the series, and was a breath of fresh air after three stale - IMO - films in a row from Dalton and Moore.
12. One of the worst Connery films IMO, and I felt bored watching the underwater fight scenes. Unfortunate as the story line was interesting enough.
13. Brosnan began to stale in this film, and deteriorated over his remaining films.
14. As mockable as Ford's recent IJ 4, Willis' Die Hard 4, and Stallones Rambo, Moore was just too old.
15. Christopher Lee was amazing, pity nothing else was.
16. 'Buy Another Day' sounds about right, though the references to the previous films was neat.
17. Dalton's debut, nothing special, my least favourite Bond actor by far.
18. Moore's debut was slightly worse than Dalton's after Connery and Lazenby had done so well.
19. Connery getting bored with the series began to show in this film, and Blofeld didn't live up to the hype.
20. The sheer rediculousness of the space fight with laser guns with spacemen with NO TETHERS, how do they expect to get into the ships?? Bah, stupid.
21. Dull Moore.
22. Dull Moore.

Lord Invictus

This is meant as a joke: Laughing

1) Bourne Ultimatum
2) Bourne Identity
3) Bourne Supremacy
4) Quantum of Solace
5) Sean Connery
6) Everything else.

Journey

Hmmm, strange.

You say Brosnan started to deteriorate during and after 'Tomorrow Never Dies', yet you have the 'World is not Enough' ranked higher than every other Brosnan film...?

And Die Hard 4 was awesome...

EDIT: I do agree with you for the most part though, especially on the fact that Roger Moore is dull and that "On her Majesty's..." is the most underrated Bond film.

Crozeus

3 was the best.

Lord Embeion

It's to hard to list them in ratings so I'll just give my 3 favorite to watch.

Diamonds are forever
Casino Royale
Goldeneye

Diamonds are Forever they are all I need to please me they can't stimulate to tease me.

Sirak Sazen

I haven't seen all of them and I don't feel like ranking my top 22. I'm too lazy. Smile

1) The World is Not Enough
2) From Russia With Love
3) Die Another Day

I haven't seen Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace either. Everything or Nothing should have been a movie.

Scion

Eww, Die Another Day, one of the only 2 movies I have fallen asleep in.

Lord Embeion

Everything or Nothing was a very fun game.. even if it was 3rd person. The multiplayer stunk though

WTB NIGHTFIRE 4 360! That should be another movie

Anyway Sirak you should really see Casino Royale.. Having a Blond Bond wasn't as bad as I thought. Looked really good for a young James Bond and all the action scenes helped a bit. Quantum of Solace was ok...ish. I think the whole sequel thing took away from it. Felt more like an actual story rather then Bond just beating on random poor terrorist.

Crozeus

Aww, poor terrorists.

Xander Vos

Yeah I know Journey, my problem is I haven't seen The World Is Not Enough in a long time, so I don't find it fair to update my judgement of it purely based on its surrounding films.
