Yes, definitely.
I'm not surprised by the results at all. I still believe SF is over-represented due to it being the newest Bond. Whether it retains its ranking will very much depend on how good Bond 24 is. Let's see. 1 more year to go!
TND C
TWINE D
DAD F
CR A
QoS D
SF A
2.Twine
3.Tnd
4.Dad
5.Cr
6.SF
7.QoS
Still, none of these movies are as good as the one immediately preceding this era....
;)
And, why do so many here write QoS instead of QOS? I never see peeps writing tMWtGG... :-?
The Broz films I am finding do age well.
All 4 really, are quite exciting, very escapist Bond adventures.
Yes LTK is a pretty solid entry.
It's stuck.Talking 2008 when the title achieved movie status.
I'm not sure about that. In this age of social media and viral marketing, ratings from movies are cementing much faster.
Yes, some fans appreciate QOS and GE much more. But fact is that QOS still won't make the TOP 2 in this poll. And for ending up in the TOP 10 of best Bond films overall, at least a TOP 3 position in this poll is highly necessary. Moreover, the purists, the nerds, the people who keep rewatching it, might change the opinion over time. And they are more willing to highlight the Bond films that didn't do well, for the sake of being supportive / having respect for every one of all 23 Bond productions. But non-Bond fans don't care. Their opinions, their ratings on the Web, are set in stone.
Also, funny to see that people who rated SF so high, are not really responding or discussing in here. So there could be also a factor of disappointment among those people who did not rate SF with 15 or 10 points.
Let's see what happens in the future :-).
2. GE - if there was a Barry score it might have beaten CR
3. TND
4. TWINE
5. DAD
6. QOS - not an easy decision putting DAD above QOS
I think the current generation, the ones who grew up with Craig as their first Bond, are going to have a completely warped (for better or worse) sense of what Bond films represent compared to previous generations
Where does Skyfall belong in your ranking :-P?
It's clearly not even worthy of consideration ;)
Ooowh @Getafix, I need to flip you on my knee and slap you. :D
Errr...what makes you think it's my first time?
Any way, don't have a go at me - I ranked it 4th out of 7.
I concur.
It's interesting to see the 'anomalous' votes and the trends in the data.
I was born in the '60's and I think the Craig Bonds are second only to the Connery films and OHMSS. Goldeneye's very well done, but gimme Craig any day of the week. He's a Bond that I feel could go toe-to-toe with any special forces guy.
Doesn't even register :-P
Jks, I'd have to put it above TND, not because I particularly love Skyfall, more that the ones under it are more crap
CR
SF
TND
GE
QOS
TWINE
DAD
Of course this might change tomorrow, depending on my mood. :)
CR is a very good film, as is Skyfall but not as much. But watching the older ones makes me miss Barry and some of the old scenes so much...like Q, the stunts, villains/henchmen, witty scripts of the 60s, etc etc. Having said that, the new direction these films are taking is a big breath of fresh air since into the 70s and 80s they churn out the same thing each time. I thought Skyfall's script was largely entertaining and the best in a long time....
It's just that this new "era" adheres to no formula. I won't go into whether it's for better or worse but it means the next generation of fans won't appreciate Bond in the same way (eg won't see the big fuss about Q and Moneypenny, the gunbarrel at the beginning, etc)
1. SF
2. CR
3. GE
4. TND (love it!)
5. TWINE
6. QOS
7. DAD
SF and CR are nearly interchangeable for me, as are GE and TND. Really love all 4.
Just curious. Who put DAD in 2nd place for 10points!
So the rankings are as follows, as per your chart:
1. CR - 571
2. SF - 419
3. GE - 398
4. TND - 218
5. TWINE - 207
6. QoS - 207
7. DAD - 87
There appears to be no doubt about #'s 1, 2 & 3, as well as # 7.
#s 4, 5, & 6 seem to be in a close fight.
If one were to approach this more scientifically from a polling perspective, some biases (there may be others) would have to be adjusted for.
Namely, the recency bias affecting SF positively (undoubtedly but to what extent is difficult to tell), & maybe the bandwagon effect, which may be impacting DAD negatively (since some who really actually like it may be embarrased to publicly reveal this fact for fear of being humiliated) & CR positively (since some who may in fact dislike it may not be brave enough to reveal that for similar reasons, given its ingrained fanboy base here, of which I most definitely am one).
However, that should not impact the rankings......#4, 5 & 6 are where it's interesting
I think it's really simple. There's no embarrasment.....nor bravery included in this voting. Or, it's at least something so subjective, that you won't find it out. Half of the voters in the poll are no frequent posters. So those could be affected by recensy.
But if I put those non-regular voters out of the poll, then CR would still be on #1, SF would still be on #2, and GE on #3.
The other way around, one could say that especially those non-frequent voters are not changing their opinion as much as more frequent posters (who read, arguments, re-assess and change their own opinions). So if you, for a change, only include those non-frequent posters in the poll, then I think the result would also be more or less the same.
Let's see what the poll looks like in 2016. Also don't forget, that Bond 24 will not only have a hard time equaling the success of CR, but also that of SF. It's certainly not an easy task for Bond 24 to let the SF-watchers, who paid 1.1 Billion globally, entertain even more...... Because entertainment and financial success usually go hand in hand...
