Thunderball, Dr No, From Russia with Love, The Living Daylights, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace chug merrily around a "top six" in no discernable order. The rest exist.


Seems like you dropped OHMSS and TSWLM like a hot potatoe as soon as Daniel Craig started stamping his authority on the canon.

Intriguing.


Not that fascinating, surely? I do find the current representation of James Bond to be one that appeals to me, certainly.

Thunderball, Dr No, From Russia with Love, The Living Daylights, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace chug merrily around a "top six" in no discernable order. The rest exist.

OHMSS, QOS, DN, GF, CR, FRWL all lurk about as classics, then TB, TMWTGG, LALD, TSWLM, TND, and DAF hang around as fun Bond adventures of various sorts. And the rest don't exist. :(

Some of the middle shifts around, but here's where it stands at the moment:

1. For Your Eyes Only
2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
3. GoldenEye
4. Live and Let Die
5. Casino Royale (1967)
6. Goldfinger
7. Moonraker
8. You Only Live Twice
9. Casino Royale (1954)
10. From Russia with Love
11. The World is Not Enough
12. The Spy Who Loved Me
13. Dr. No
14. Tomorrow Never Dies
15. Octopussy
16. Diamonds Are Forever
17. The Man with the Golden Gun
18. Thunderball
19. Die Another Day
20. Never Say Never Again
21. The Living Daylights
22. A View to a Kill
23. Licence to Kill
24. Casino Royale (2006)
25. Quantum of Solace

Understand that this is the order of favorite to least favorite, not "best" to "worst" (although that plays in as well). For instance, I recognize that the 1967 Casino Royale is not as well made a movie as the 2006 version, but I prefer to watch the original.

I'm sure you and many other Quantum Of Solace lovers will always regard QOS highly. However, much like Die Another Day has dropped in some fans' estimations over time, I think QOS will too.


tbf, if we had the internet back in 1969, you would be saying exactly the same thing about On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. A really good, down to earth film that didn't get the respect it deserved. If you look at it now, it's a classic.

Die Another Day on the other hand, was thought as being a brilliant Bond movie, nearly everyone adored it, myself included. Quantum of Solace divided many fans, and I think that over time, It will be seen as a classic, just like On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

Nearly everything in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is there, what people dislike in Quantum of Solace, this includes the clunky editing. If you want a good example, check out the bobseld chase, just after Blofeld drops the grenade. I could ask myself, what the HELL is going on. But I don't, because I have the ability to overlook that.

People are just pissed at Quantum of Solace because it doesn't offer everything on a plate.

I watched Quantum of Solace a few days ago again and I kind of liked it a bit more this time.

Hmm...maybe it will climb from its 15th rank one of these days.

Daniel Craig's third film is make-or-break. Casino Royale is not the greatest film, but it did get the Craig era off to an interesting start. QOS almost single handedly sunk Craig and made him look like a one hit wonder. If Craig's third film is bad like QOS, his Bond career will be in the toilet. This would be a shame because he is the best of the Bond actors. Craig is doing a good job, but he deserves a well made film.

1. On Her Majesty's Secret Service- Proving without a doubt that a Bond film is only as good as its script, this is not just a great James Bond movie, it's one of the all time great movies period. The action scenes are some of the most daring committed to film, the plot is continually twisting and turning and at the heart of it all is a doomed love story. George Lazenby, who only played 007 once, has gotten a lot of guff for this movie, but he's very good. It's unfortunate he didn't carry on with the role.

2. Goldeneye- For my money, Pierce Brosnan was the best 007, really capturing a mix of the snobbishness Roger Moore brought to the role, and the tough guy panache Connery had. This, his first of his four, really nailed the Bond formula and has a great villain and the absolute best villainess ever.

3. Goldfinger- Obviously. The series really started to gel with this one, creating the template for all to come. Though every Bond cliché was pretty much invented here, it's amazing how fresh and exciting Goldfinger remains to this day.

4. For Your Eyes Only- Roger Moore, taking things somewhat seriously for a change, gives us all the bells, whistles and smirks with a bit of toughness previously missing from his approach to the role. We actually believe Bond is in jeopardy in certain scenes as he chases after what can only be called "a mcguffin".

5. The Spy Who Loved Me- Pure spectacle is what this 007 adventure offers on skis, on water and on land. This is the one where the Moore formula of wisecracks and breath taking stunts worked best.

6. From Russia with Love- Of all the Bonds, this is the one that succeeds best as a pure spy thriller, before the gadgets arrived and Bond had to rely less on his wits and more on pushing buttons.

7. Licence to Kill- This one took awhile, but it has really grown on me. All the Bond elements are there, shoehorned into a plot that has a pissed off 007 out for revenge. I used to think Timothy Dalton was too humorless in the role. Then along came Daniel Craig... The finale, a wild chase scene involving tanker trucks, is one of the most Bravo action scenes in the Bond series.

8. Tomorrow Never Dies- The denouement is a bit of a let down, but otherwise this is the best of the full on "action" Bonds. Just sit back and watch the sparks fly, especially during the terrific remote control driving sequence.

9. Dr.No- Welcome to the screen Mr.Bond. Connery in the first 007 screen adventure. There was no template yet, so Dr. No goes into some dark areas the rest of the series played down.

10. Live and Let Die- Moore's Bond hits the screen for the first time, and the result is a compelling adventure, with a more serious touch than usual including a voodoo motif that adds genuine tension. The mid-movie boat chase sequence is a stunner.

11. Thunderball- Connery chases a villain to the Bahamas. Coming right after Goldfinger, it suffers a bit from the "bigger and bigger" syndrome, but it's still full of the kind of fun and adventure Bond does so well, including the only entertaining underwater fight scenes I've ever seen.

12. Moonraker- Yes, Moonraker. Deal with it. If you don't think about it too hard, and just go along for the ride, you'll have a lot of fun with this, one of the most action packed of the 007 movies. It's also one of the silliest, but is still a kick to watch.

13. You Only Live Twice- I call this one the midway Bond: It's not terribly memorable, with the exception of the exciting "Little Nellie" flight sequence and a great rooftop chase, but it's not exactly "bad" either. It's the Bond that separates the truly entertaining entries in the series from the somewhat disappointing so, here we go...

14. Die Another Day- The most disappointing thing about this one? It's exactly "half" a good movie. The opening with Bond escaping from being captured and tortured, right up to about the brutal fencing match between Bond and baddie, is excellent. Then, it goes off the rails with some bizarre gadgets, atrocious dialogue, the always awful Halle Berry, and poorly conceived CGI . That it remains entertaining none the less is a testament to its fast pace, if anything.

15. A View to a Kill- Yes, Roger Moore was getting "way too old for this B)", but this is still an OK dip in the Bond well held together by Moore in his last Bond movie, and Christoper Walken, clearly having a fabulous time as the villain. Minus points for Tanya Roberts, one of the most annoying Bond girls, and an interminable sequence at a horse farm.

16. The Living Daylights- Dalton makes for a slightly awkward Bond here, playing the role somewhere between Moore's jokiness and Craig's deadly seriousness. A terrific opening sequence and some other exciting action scenes keep it from being a loss, but it's still kind of flat.

17. Octopussy- This is the one where Moore really looks his age, and the plot is much too convoluted, but there's some genuine tension during the obligatory "Bomb defusal" scene at least.

18. Casino Royale- I'll state it flatly: I'm not a fan of Daniel Craig's 007. He's too "Hulk Smash" and too little "Gentleman Spy" for me, so I wasn't a big fan of this "reboot", which takes the series in a much more down to Earth direction. Not complaining about that, I just didn't feel like I was watching a James Bond movie while watching this.

19. The World Is Not Enough- The opening sequence is what Bond movies are all about- an over the top chase spectacle, this one down the Thames. The film is worth seeing simply for that. There's also a sweet goodbye to Q and some good lines from Robbie Coltrane, but on the whole, the movie seems to want to have its cake and eat it too by combining a "serious" plot with over the top action. It doesn't really gel. Also, Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist in hot pants named Christmas Jones? Uh huh.

20. Never Say Never Again- Connery returned after a long absence to the role. He looks like he's having a good time, and the result has some good stuff in it, but it's way too overlong, and now a days feels like an 80's museum piece. Remember how I said that "Thunderball" had the only entertaining underwater fight scenes I've ever seen? This too has underwater fight scenes.

21. Quantum of Solace- Craig's second go feels a bit more like a Bond movie, but it's still a pretty uncharismatic affair with edited within an inch of their life action sequences and a plot echoing "Licence to Kill", but coming up short in the comparison. There's little memorable about this one.

22. The Man With The Golden Gun- Christopher Lee is a great, sinister villain, it's just too bad he's in the cheapest looking, most lacking in action Bond of them all. Moore, in his second film, is still growing into the part here, and he's not helped by Brit Ekland, the series dumbest, most annoying leading lady.

23. Diamonds Are Forever- There's a good line here and there, and the two gay villains are quite cool, but Connery looks overweight, old and bored. There are no memorable action sequences and the whole thing is lackadaisical and dull. The broad humor Moore was blamed for bringing to the role is in full effect here

A lot of people above are saying that it was beloved upon release; judging by the reviews and the CBn posts from that time, this is true, but I do not understand why. When it came out, I was in primary school - my friends and I thought it completely idiotic (except for one kid who no one liked.)
