I put TND near the bottom with the Moore films as I considered the plot silly and the villain weak. LALD is down there because of its slapstick, and 15 through 19 are just lazy regurgitations of YOLT.

1. On Her Majesties Secret Service
2. The Spy Who Loved Me
3. Goldeneye
4. Goldfinger
5. The Living Daylights
6. Casino Royale
7. A View To A Kill
8. Octopussy

19. The Man With The Golden Gun
20. License To Kill
21. Quantum of Solace
22. Die Another Day
23. Never Say Never Again

The Bond actors systematically ranked by their respective films' rankings: (collective score/number of films) The lower the score the better.

Sean Connery: 103/7=14&5/7
George Lazenby: 1/1=1
Roger Moore: 66/7=9&3/7
Timothy Dalton: 25/2=12&1/2
Pierce Brosnan: 54/4=13&1/2
Daniel Craig: 27/2=13&1/2

Of course there are plenty of other factors besides the Bond actor that makes a Bond film great or not, for instance I am not saying that George Lazenby is my favorite Bond, it is just that the only film Lazenby was in happens to be my all time favorite. Roger Moore is my favorite Bond and that is reflected in his films being the most enjoyable overall IMO. Sean Connery's aggregate films on average rank the lowest but that does not mean I don't like those films or think he is the worst Bond, if it wasn't for Never Say Never Again his score would be about where Dalton/Brosnan/Craig is.

I recently watched all 22 Bond movies for the umpteenth time, but in random order, so I could judge them as independent films rather than "the follow up to Casino Royale" etc. There were some interesting results given how my last rankings went in March:

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

I was overwhelmed just how much I enjoyed The World Is Not Enough having not watched it in ages. In fact, I found myself thoroughly entertained by Brosnan's movies, and it was only Die Another Day that I had real difficulty watching. In my opinion, he gets a bad press.

[DamnCoffee]

I think Thunderball has became my favourite Connery film, and the second best film of the franchise.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service / Thunderball / Casino Royale / From Russia With Love / Goldfinger


Live And Let Die / Dr. No / The Living Daylights / Licence to Kill / Octopussy / GoldenEye / The Spy Who Loved Me
