    I'd say he was burned out and is missing that magical spark he had in the earlier films. By DAF his batteries were recharged and ready to go.

    Hey @GoldenGun, thanks for your remark. But as you know we had some isues a few pages back. Therefore, please read the rules of the game on page 1: http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/16631/bond-polls-2016-the-big-james-bond-007-film-contest-your-top-10-of-best-bond-films/p1

    Because of that I can not allow any further changes in one's 'voting ballot'. It isn't a very 'valid' and official thing of doing things. I hope you understand.

    Who wouldn't want to enjoy Christmas once a year. If you're being a good boy, Christmas might come twice

    Still have to put my list up--this question may be too simplistic, but how do some of you rank the Bond films: as objectively as possible according to film standards; your list of personal favorites; or a combination of the two? I'm guessing it varies from person to person.

    In terms of meeting Bond celebrities, yes, Lazenby is a nice chap. Chatted to him for a while at an autograph signing in London. Who I think is a really top bloke though as we talked for quite a while is John Wyman who played Erich Kriegler in For Your Eyes Only. Very nice, down to earth man. Is there a thread for Bond fans who have met Bond actors and supporting actors?

    I rank them simply as the Bond films I think are truly great. I am a big fan of cinema, and rate all films by a set of criteria that I think have to exist amply in any film for it to be good, regardless of genre, with some personal tastes thrown in there for good measure. I think my Bond rankings would reflect Bond movies that happen to simply be great films with care taken to story, character, cinematography and other important aspects of filmmaking. I'm drawn to movies that treat Bond as a human with depth, and that explore his inner life and world in interesting ways, which is why the entirety of the Craig era is present in it, as is Dalton's LTK, OHMSS, and Sean's best. Overall they are the movies I think are the greatest use of film conventions matched with Bond's world in tandem.

    Genre wise I'm a big noir fan, so a lot of my film tastes drive me to movies with more grounded approaches to character that display worlds more full of moral grays and stories showcasing complex and flawed people facing unique challenges. Again, I think these personal tastes are also evident in the Bond movies I enjoy most and that I think are the greatest in the franchise.

    3 measures enjoyment, 1 of quality, 1/2 a measure of music

    My ranking has a lot to do with personal enjoyment, but I also consider film making elements, action, characters, dialogue, etc weighted towards the things that matter to me most such as score

    It's all personal for me. I am fairly judgmental in regard to film, but with Bond I tend to be more lax. There are things that occasionally occur in Bond films that would have me walking out the door in any other situation (bad dialogue, expository dialogue, double-take pigeon, bad acting, etc.).

    That's very true, DAF is a hoot to watch but very disappointing quality wise especially compared with the preceding film.

    On the other hand, we fans have certain standards and expectations when it comes to Bond films and some minor aspects won't be overlooked

    If you could keep just one Bond film, which would it be?

    If you could keep one more, which would that be?

    And so on.

    I specifically asked everyone in here what they think is the best Bond film. As objectively as possible. As if they were newspaper critics. Still, a poll like this is obviously very subjective too. Some favoritism comes to the surface as well. Then again, that's the characteristic of every poll :-). Anyway, good luck with your TOP 10.

    EDIT: Read the original post, doesn't mention objective anywhere, phew.

    Surely we want to be subjective. We want to find out everyone's own tastes.
