Just added a Listmania with my Bond rankings. I'd be interested in checking out Listmania lists from other CBNers.

Nice list DLibrasnow. I always like to compare how fans rank them to the 5 star rating amazon reviews have for them on these lists.

I can tell that was your list DLibrasnow because of TWINE at the end. Not a bad list but I can tell that you don't like Pierce's films.

I remember Zencat had a list of underrated Bond films. Quite good also, I agreed with many of the choices.

Except GoldenEye which I like on some levels :)

Glad to see you share my feelings on The World Is Not Enough, but how could you rip on A View To A Kill?? :)

Pretty good list Jim. I agree with many of your first 5 or so Bond films listed.

The Gardner novel list is very well done. Definitely agreeable on almost all the books there.

Some people have no taste :)

Those lists weren't bad, but anyone who can manage to rate DAD above the blatently deserved 21 slot (just 1 film better off than TWINE that is the obvious 22 slot) needs some help.

Yes it was reading some of your lists Zencat that got me started on making a few of my own!

I guess I need some help. :)

Die Another Day is more fitting, IMO, around the low teens I'd guess.

I'd say the first two thirds were maybe better, it's just the finale...

Well we all know.

Nice list Bon-san. Not attacking the idea, but I find it interesting at how often Octopussy is found at the bottom of lists.

Thanks D'lib and Qwert.

It's an interesting exercise to include a mini-review with a rankings list. I actually shuffled my list around a bit based on my reviews. I tried not to put movies where I thought they "should" go, and focus instead on making "my" list. And I struggled with whether this was a "best of" list or a "favorites" list. I always do this, and end up with a list that's probably somewhere in the middle of either.

BTW, where's your list, Qwert? :)

I find ranking the Bond films in a list to be a rather hard task to do, and my opinion on them (as such trivial matters like which films goes in spot 15 or 16 changes almost daily). I've never done an Amazon Listimania before, but it might be fun to do.

Agreed that these lists are a bit tough in that perspective and opinion can change frequently.

But you've got to do a list dude!
