Insurrection
04.13.15 | Yeah 2 brosnans in the top 10 and Moonraker isn't dead last come at me |
TalonsOfFire
04.13.15 | 6 and 23 should be higher but nice top 3 |
twlight
04.13.15 | great list, spot on with 1, 2 and 22.
however from russia with love is 3 in my opinion. Connery is still the best Bond
|
DrGonzo1937
04.13.15 | 1 is 1 but 4 is 2 |
ZombicidalMan
04.13.15 | 24 is 24. Nigel Smallfaucet aside
thunderball will always be my number one though |
DrGonzo1937
04.13.15 | Die Another Day is definitely the worst Bond though. Terrible in every way. |
ZombicidalMan
04.13.15 | most people just don't appreciate fifteen minute underwater harpoon battles and unprotected shark tanks like I do |
Muisc4Life26
04.13.15 | 3 is 1 |
Deviant.
04.13.15 | How is The World Is Not Enough even near the top 10, let alone in it? That's unpossible |
Insurrection
04.13.15 | idk it's just classic bond to me. I grew up with Brosnan though so ill always have my bias |
NeroCorleone80
04.13.15 | 3 is 1 [2] |
tempest--
04.13.15 | Thunderball is top 10 at least what the hell! |
TheCollectiveFacade
04.13.15 | no way daniel craig is #1 |
DrGonzo1937
04.13.15 | Craig is definitely #1. |
DrGonzo1937
04.13.15 | "How is The World Is Not Enough even near the top 10, let alone in it? That's unpossible"
To be fair, Brosnan only did one great Bond film. imo anyway. |
SmersH
04.13.15 | From Russia and OHMSS will always be top for me.
I would honestly put Die Another Day below Never Say Never... terrible stuff. |
Tunaboy45
04.13.15 | As a longtime bond fan... 1 is most certainly 1 |
DrGonzo1937
04.13.15 | [2] |
MO
04.13.15 | Dr No is top 3 for me
it's such a well done movie. not insanely campy, great pacing and Bond isn't this super perfect agent. so amazing |
NorwichScene
04.13.15 | 22 made me love Gemma Arterton |
zakalwe
04.13.15 | If it was all going to shit the only bond you'd want by your side to sort it would be Roger Moore. The only oo7 guaranteed to get a round in once the job was done. |
DikkoZinner
04.13.15 | Craig is good.
Moore was Bond in the 1st film I watched so I got a soft spot for the dude, dapper and suave.
Connery is a legend and is rightly considered The James Bond.
Dalton was rugged.
Lazenby was quality in his only appearance in the role.
Brosnan was cool, sort of faded at the end there.
Franchise rules. |
Insurrection
04.13.15 | die another day did have a badass pre title sequence and some great action. otherwise it was pretty shit. also i might get crap for putting octopussy so high but fuck it I think it's a great movie |
ExplosiveOranges
04.13.15 | At least we can all agree that Quantum of Solace and Die Another Day are ass. |
Graveyard
04.13.15 | the reason why quantum sucks is because it's sandwiched between the two best bond films |
Insurrection
04.14.15 | and because it has horrible editing, forgettable villains, a stupid plot, etc but tbh i wouldn't say any of them suck except for NSNA. even quantum had its moments |
TheSonomaDude
04.14.15 | I saw this as "James Woods movies ranked" and was about to give you a virtual high five. |
ZombicidalMan
04.14.15 | moore is an out of shape pedophile
connery is the ultimate man's man, if unconvincing in fights
lazenby was okay, but I think he would've become great had he stayed on
dalton brought charm and darkness but had poor material to work with
brosnan was possibly the best incarnation of bond for only one movie (goldeneye)
craig is a solid addition but I feel like he's just a charming bourne rip-off |
ZombicidalMan
04.14.15 | and casino royale and skyfall are two of the best bonds, not the two best. I get passionate about my bond films, even on sputnik |
Insurrection
04.14.15 | I loved daltons movies. I don't think he got enough tbh. but I think Brosnan in TWINE and goldeneye are his best performances and epitomize who bond is |
micpattern
04.14.15 | Nice ranking. Def a good balance and mix of Bond actors.
I'd probably put Dr No higher, and drop Octopussy and TWINE way down around the bottom half.
Quantum of Solace was hugely dissapointing coming after Casino but has just enough redeeming features to put it at least higher than some abominations like A View to a Kill and Moonraker.
My top 10 goes like this
Casino Royale
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Skyfall
Goldeneye
Dr. No
The Spy Who Loved Me
Thunderball
Licence to Kill
Connery>Craig>Brosnan>Dalton>Lazenby>Moore
|
Insurrection
04.14.15 | a view to a kill had the benefit of having one of the series' greatest villains. moonraker was just mindless fun imo. stupid, but fun. as for the bond actors, id rank them
brosnan > connery > dalton = craig > moore >>> lazenby
for their portrayals as bond. brosnan just fit the part so well, its a shame he didnt get better scripts to work with. and after my latest rewatch of OHMSS i realized how bad lazenby was. the first time he says "bond, james bond" is so cringeworthy. |
Rowan5215
04.14.15 | Dalton is my top Bond come at me
also re: Die Another Day it had a shit plot but the dude who played the villain is one of the best actors they ever had in the franchise
1 is 1 agreed |
Kalopsia
04.14.15 | skyfall at 2 lawl |
Insurrection
04.14.15 | toby stephens was excellent agreed but i facepalm every single time i see this shot
http://i.imgur.com/l5KXCSg.jpg

Rowan5215
04.14.15 | Lol yeah it's really a shame he was given such terrible material to work with, but I'd still re-watch the movie just to see him doing his best with it |
Shuyin
04.14.15 | gotta watch the new ones, i always had a soft spot for goldeneye tbh.. its cheesy as fuck but it works |
micpattern
04.14.15 | Insurrection
After watching ohmss again recently there's two problems which hold back Lazenby for me. First is the stupid decision to have his voice dubbed when he goes to Piz Gloria. if the directors didn't have faith in George to fake an accent then ok but the fame accent wasnt neccessary. the Bond in the novel doesn't so why the hell should Lazenby have it.... Secondly some of those lines George was given are cringe worthy "coming here was an inspiration...and so are you" "call me...Hilly"... Fucking awful and lazenbys |
micpattern
04.14.15 | Lazenbys delivery is wooden and his timing is fucked. But despite those flaws you cant deny two things...a) the dude could hold himself in a fight and b) the way he delivered the final line was vulnerable in a way no other Bond actor couldve done. |
Insurrection
04.14.15 | his final line was great yeah but I'm sure craig or brosnan could've delivered the line perfectly too. they have serious acting chops outside of bond |
Dunpeal
04.14.15 | Idris Elba > |
ZombicidalMan
04.14.15 | I love Idris Elba, but I honestly believe he would make a better Bond villain than the next Bond. Sean Bean in Goldeneye style, an ex-MI6 agent and friend of Bond who turns rogue. Just as cliche as a Bond film needs to be |
Dunpeal
04.14.15 | nah, if ever there was a black bond, which I highly doubt, it's him, but he just recently squashed the rumors. i just wanted to rustle a few jimmies : ] |
ZombicidalMan
04.14.15 | I just hope they don't bring back jeffrey wright. he made a terrible Felix |
DrGonzo1937
04.14.15 | Idris has already said he doesn't want to do it. |
Insurrection
04.15.15 | i thought jeffrey wright was the best felix so far. 90% of them have been bland expository bullshit filler characters |
DrGonzo1937
04.15.15 | Agreed, he was an awesome Felix. |
zakalwe
04.15.15 | Of course there will be a black bond.
Gay, crossdresser abseiling down from an Israel-Palestine convention with a baby kitted up in a suicide vest which he places into a civil partnership child adoption agency all the while white, heterosexual Christians who keep their heads down and find it all very confusing are seen as the biggest cunts since hitler. |
ZombicidalMan
04.15.15 | ah yes, jeffrey wright's "i'm bleeding chips" and "james move your ass" was the most compelling and solid performance to date |
Insurrection
04.16.15 | i detect sarcasm but i don't see what's wrong with those lines. he actually played Felix with conviction instead of as some lackadaisical agent
on a similar note I'm all for a cross dresser James Bond |
ZombicidalMan
04.16.15 | nothing wrong with the lines (there have been much, much cheesier ones in Bond films) but his delivery of them was just wooden and generic IMO. Wright was great in Boardwalk Empire but in Bond I thought he sucked the life out of the scenes he was in.
Overall Felix is just such a useless part of the franchise I'd rather they introduce a new character or revive Nigel Smallfaucet |
Insurrection
04.16.15 | gotta disagree there. i thought he was intense and stole the scenes he was in. he was pretty pointless in quantum but to be fair most of that movie was pointless. you want to see a wooden/bland Felix watch the living daylights or diamonds are forever
nigel was just weird though. he was like a mix of felix and jack wade. in other words, the ultimate cockblock |
ZombicidalMan
04.16.15 | I will agree that he had such minor roles in both movies that it's kind of unfair of me to write him off. It's also true that he didn't get eaten by a shark, so that's another plus...
on a separate note, how great does Spectre look? Christoph Waltz can really play that likeable villain, I think he's going to be great as Oberhauser/Blofeld |
Insurrection
04.16.15 | Hans landa is my fav villain of all time so i have no doubt Christoph will knock it out of the park. im interested to see how they handle blofeld in this one. anything will be an improvement from his disgraceful death in FYEO |
ZombicidalMan
06.17.15 | moore is garbage |
ZombicidalMan
06.17.15 | haha, guess I sound like a cunt in this thread but I'm passionate about my dislike for moore
that being said, he is definitely in some of the best bond movies. I just think he was a bad bond |
Insurrection
06.19.15 | "On Her Majesty's Secret Service should be in last place"
whoa whoa whoa man lets think about this |
Insurrection
11.10.15 | just saw spectre. loved it |
TalonsOfFire
11.10.15 | Worth seeing for someone who loved the Casino Royale & Skyfall side of Bond? |
Insurrection
11.10.15 | worth seeing especially if you liked those two. it ties together every craig bond movie pretty much |
Dunpeal
11.10.15 | 1 is 1 that's all i care about |
jtswope
11.10.15 | 2 is my 1, and 1 is my 2…
Still Craig is easily the best Bond. Sean Connery is the iconic/classic Bond, but Craig took the Bond character into much more interesting territory. I love how starting with Casino Royale they basically portray him as a psychopath who is an assassin first and a philanderer second.
Die Another Day is probably the worst Bond. |
TheMagicalBlender
11.10.15 | 2, 3, 7, 8, 14, and 15 are my favorites. Waltz delivered a great performance as the villain in 7. |
anarchistfish
11.10.15 | good list although I quite liked quantum |
Dunpeal
11.10.15 | i'm with you fish. the daniel craig films really should be a category of their own, but i get that obviously they'll be rated among the whole catalog |
OmairSh
11.10.15 | Spectre was torture to get through |
Gyromania
11.10.15 | goldeneye is 1 for me, and then casino royale. skyfall is overrated. also no way in hell does the quantum of solace come after die another day. die another day is such a steaming pile of dogshit. i mean quantum is pretty boring but it's still leagues ahead of die another day |
someguest
11.10.15 | Craig is the best Bond. He added some realism to the fantasy, but not too much. The right amount the series needed. |
Source
11.10.15 | Casino Royale and Tomorrow Never Dies are the best |
someguest
11.10.15 | Brosnan and Moore were complete trash. |
Gyromania
11.10.15 | stfu, bronsan will always be james bond for me. he was awesome |
someguest
11.10.15 | A pretty boy for middle aged women who couldn't act. Goldeneye is his one good film - and that's because it has Sean Bean and Famke Janssen. |
Gyromania
11.10.15 | nah he's good you're just dumb |
someguest
11.10.15 | He's passable. |
Insurrection
11.10.15 | goldeneye was the best brosnan movie but his best performance as bond was TWINE imo. i never questioned him as bond for a second in that movie |
TheMagicalBlender
11.10.15 | Tomorrow Never Dies was his best, imho. |
anarchistfish
11.10.15 | brosnan was good but craig is miles ahead |
tempest--
11.10.15 | Im watching through the entire franchise at the moment and I actually enjoy Roger Moore quite a lot. aside from him being really old, I think he plays the character well. |
Gyromania
11.10.15 | lol at blender |
Insurrection
11.10.15 | moore is hilarious in a view to a kill. he bangs like 5 girls that are young enough to be his granddaughters |
tempest--
11.10.15 | lol yeah thats def the creepiest thing
looking at this list again, I can't believe you have Man With the Golden Gun so low... especially lower than Moonraker??? come on!
and both you and my mate have Diamonds Are Forever last/second last but I actually really enjoyed it, definitely think there's worse than that one. |
Insurrection
11.10.15 | i dont dislike any of them honestly (except NSNA). moonraker is just a mindless fun action movie while TMWTGG wouldve been complete shit if not for christopher lee |
