Harder to predict after that.
I am also curious now. Although I do think your reasoning has more influence on the outcome of the -roughly- 20th to 13th placed films. Those films that are more or less in the middle.
Another thing, this poll forces people to come up with a TOP 10. It's for many people more difficult yes, but by doing so you're perhaps focused on the qualities of each film instead of sheer favouritism.
It's also easier to continuously adjusting an entire TOP 26, since most of them are made by die-hard fans. Whereas in here also a fair amount of new forummembers have voted.
By the way @BondJames? Why didn't you vote for 'fun' in this poll ;-)?
Moreover, isn't this the thread where we had parents and cousins voting as well? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for that, but I'd also be interested in a reduction of the results down to the core posters who have been here posting for the past few months as that would perhaps be a more representative sample.
I just thought maybe you wanted to vote in the poll as well :-).
*EDIT*: You did vote! Sorry @BondJames hehe.
A good point, I don't recognise many of the names in the statistics. One time posters it seems, which is a bit suspicious.
It should have been limited to members of the forum, maybe even only regular members, but that would have been hard to see through.
As Gert is showing us the complete excel you can do the maths omitting those you think shouldn't have been counted :)
Totally agree with this.
TSWLM will be the highest 'campy' bond? If it wasn't for GE Brosnan wouldn't be anywhere near even the top half of Bond films on this measure!
Everyone has different goals with topics like these. Mine was to see what happens if a lot of unique people vote in a poll like this. And getting 120 unique voters to vote in here is quite a daunting task I might say. Not to mention the fact that most of them are already fainting by the prospect of posting a 'huge' TOP 10 instead of just one's best/favourite Bond film.
The big majority of them are more frequent posters. And in all honesty, I think it's a good thing that perhaps because of this topic some new people are drawn to this forums as well no? Or are we really that adament to turn it into a Skulls & Bones Club :-).
New members are of course welcome, but if they rank a particular film high, then it will of course impact the results in unpredictable ways.
Anyway, I apologize for mentioning this. You have done a great job compiling everything and should be congratulated. Well done.
My updated next 5 prediction:
12.) SP
11.) LTK
10.) GE
9.) TLD
8.) SF
I could live very well with that prediction coming true. I'm just afraid SF will end up much higher and DN will be outside the Top 10.
I don't know much about others, but I read everything here, I just don't write much because English is not my first language and my writing skills are pretty much limited. :D
However, if someone joins just for the sake of voting in the poll, then perhaps there is a slight weighting impact.
Regardless, with 100+ votes in the tally, perhaps it is fairly representative of opinions around here. The only way to know for sure is to benchmark the results against the other thread (Bond Ranking).
Suprised SP is still in the game.
I assure you, my Portuguese is way better :D
You too are very welcome here @Rossi :-). And that goes for many other forummembers who merely read the topics intensively and do not wish to post a lot. Hopefully, posting your TOP 10 in here lowers the threshold for you to post more often. And don't worry about your English ;-).
A scandal actually.
Come onnn, why using such grotesque words :-)?
Still in the running are 12 other good to magnificent Bond films. In alphabetical order:
--> "Casino Royale"
--> "Doctor No"
--> "From Russia With Love"
--> "GoldenEye"
--> "Goldfinger"
--> "Licence To Kill"
--> "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"
--> "Skyfall"
--> "SPECTRE"
--> "The Living Daylights"
--> "The Spy Who Loved Me"
--> "Thunderball"
Regarding "Octopussy", I know as of recent the film gets some positive reviews again on the MI6-forums. But I think in general, outside this forum, regardless what I think of it, the movie isn't remembered well or reviewed positively. So in that light, a 14th place is a jolly good placing for OP. Even better than LALD:
About SP: I do understand why many people rank it so high - because there are many really great elements in it. But for me the last third (combined with the awful title song and sequence) just kills the movie with all it's great stuff ... for me - resulting in a low(er) rating than other films. But I think that's the thing - many don't think that stuff (which they mostly address themselves) is so overwhelmingly bad (like I rate it) but consider it rather as little flaws at max. So I kinda understand why SP is still in the game.
I would like to compare it to TB: It's ranking at #2 for me, yet I read a lot of opinions of this movie which rank it quite low due to things that don't drag the movie at all for me but for them. I think people ranking TB low and finding it a drag or flawed are seeing it like I see SP where the flaws overshadow the rest.
Perhaps. But at least this topic triggers people to actually post more often? I mean, it's good to know that there are people out here who suddenly become more vocal in this particular topic :-).
