I'd just like to know how everyone ranks all the Bond movies. Here's how I rank them, excluding unofficial Bond movies.

From Russia With Love
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
The Living Daylights
The World Is Not Enough
You Only Live Twice
Dr. No
Licence To Kill
For Your Eyes Only
Goldeneye
Thunderball
The Spy Who Loved Me
Goldfinger
Octopussy
Tomorrow Never Dies
Live And Let Die
Diamonds Are Forever
The Man With The Golden Gun
A View To A Kill
Moonraker

Heh, I had to move "You Only Live Twice" to #5, I just remembered how good it was.

No Thunderball ?

Everyone has Thunderball on the list....

[Evil Doctor Cheese]

Here we go then...

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

And I think we should update once Bond 20 is released... wonder where it'll fit?

[Double-Oh Gaz]

With so many good Bond films existing it's difficult to put them into any order, can I just say!

The truly, TRULY awful ones were:

Diamonds Are Forever - filmed at the height of tackiness and film on location in the world's tackiest cities!

A View To A Kill - Oh dear, an aging Roger Moore wearing jeans at one point. No offense dear boy, but I think it was a mistake to let him on the set!

I loved the other ones, EVEN Moonraker! There have been far worse Bond films than that and I really don't see why people have a problem with it. In fact, I enjoyed it and have the poster up on my wall!

Also, why do people have a problem with OHMSS? It wasn't bad at all! The story was good, the acting was good and the ending I still can't watch with both eyes open because it fills me wth sadness!

How can we put these films in order except if you have joint 1sts, 2nds etc...

I also would like to expand on this list by asking who everyone's favorite Bonds (and Bond villains) are in order of best to worst. My list is:

1. Timothy Dalton
2. George Lazenby
3. Sean Connery
4. Pierce Brosnan
5. Roger Moore

I'm a bit too tired to post the Bond villain list yet, so I'll save it for tomorrow.

[zencat]

Too hard to rank. All I know is TSWLM and GOLDFINGER are somewhere at the top and AVTAK and LTK are somewhere at the bottom.

[JAWS]

Olympic ratings
GOLD: FRWL, GOLDFINGER, TSWLM, MOONRAKER, OCTOPUSSY, GOLDENEYE.
SILVER: DR. NO, THUNDERBALL, DAF, TMWTGG, FYEO, AVTAK, TLD, TND.
BRONZE: YOLT, OHMSS, LALD, LTK, TWINE.

[Mourning Becomes Electra]

It usually depends on my mood and what I've just seen but the top 5 are always in the top 5, just in a different order:

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

[Xenobia]

Amen to Jaws! I am not even going attempt olympic ratings, lest the Brosnan federation tries to make a deal with me to put the Connery federation over in the next survey!

Yikes! This is too hard. Can you possibly narrow the scope? Best in terms of fight sequences maybe...or best acting?

All the movies as far as I am concerned have moments that are truly wonderful, and yes, they all have moments where you have to scratch your head and wonder what the director was doing when that scene was filmed.

(Hi by the way. I am new. Nice to be here.)

top 6:

Thunderball
The spy who loved me
Goldfinger
OHMSS
Tommorrow never dies
From russia with love

honourable mentions:

Goldeneye....would have been in the top 3 if only the score wasnt so s***

The living daylights....needed a more menacing villian with a more evil scheme

Dr no

Moonraker...could have been in the top 6 if not for some silly moments


BOTTOM OF THE HEAP>>>BUT STILL ENTERTAINING:

LTK....not bondian enough

For your eyes only...the score brings it down o couple of notches and the ending is quite underwhelming

TMWTGG....looks a bit cheap and dated and has one cheering for Lee's Scaramanga!

DAF....connery looks fat and old and the movie has too american a feel

AVTAK....old roger was a bit too old...GREAT song and score, however!

Wow, those choices were painful, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't the fourteen movies that deserved it into my top ten. And zencat will be happy to know that Moonraker moved up a place when I watched it again at his insistance that it was really a fine Bond movie.
