no it just means your smart, i cant remember ur ranking could you repost your top 5 and least 5
1) Casino Royale
2) From Russia with Love
3) Thunderball
4) Dr. No
5) On Her Majesty's Secret Service
My bottom 5 would be a mix of Moore and Brosnan films, likely looking like:
20) The World is Not Enough
21) The Man with the Golden Gun
22) Moonraker
23) A View to a Kill
24) Die Another Day
I though u said u had qos in there, also ur bottom is spot on
I said QoS was just a bit above my top five, but it's in the top 10 for sure.
Ok fair enough, thunderball is better than Goldfinger?
Infinitely better. GF barely makes it into the top 10, and on some days it doesn't at all.
From Russia With Love
Doctor No
Casino Royale
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
The Living Daylights
Close but no cigar...Goldfinger, Octopussy, Thunderball, The Spy Who Loved Me
Bottom 5
The Man With The Golden Gun
Tomorrow Never Dies
A View To A Kill
Quantum Of Solace
The World Is Not Enough
Close but no cigar...Diamonds Are Forever, Moonraker, Die Another Day, Skyfall
You're one of the few that doesn't have DAD in the bottom! I would certainly take TMWTGG, AVTAK and most certainly QOS over it!
I like the Connery Bonds most and the Craig Bonds least .
Something's got to go top and something's got to go bottom.
Big deal.
The thread title does refer to films not the actors
Poor Craig IMO just happens to be in the least best Bond films in the series. I am not a fan of the personal drama that permeates the later films, especially the last two efforts
But if it makes feel better Craig's performances I thought in both SP and QoS were quite adequate.
Very good even.
But Sean remains on Bondian pedestal, as do all of the first 7 films - best group of films ever made in the history of cinema, I do dare say.
Aside from the other Bond films, Clint's best westerns would be the next best little bunch.
I actually like all the Bond films, mainly because they are Bond films.
All of them are quite watchable. I know this because I've watched them all at least 10x each.And 10x is rock bottom low end.
Most I've watched 20 30 40 50x. Who knows, I stop counting at 10.
Yes.
So here is what I think are the 5 best Bond films *objectively: (my ranking in brackets)
1. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (my No 1)
2. Goldfinger (my No 9)
3. From Russia With Love (my No 11)
4. Dr. No (my No 6)
5. Thunderball (my No 15)
...and the worst:
20. Skyfall (my No 24)
21. Die Another Day (my No 20)
22. The World Is Not Enough (my No 23)
23. The Man With The Golden Gun (my No 21)
24. Quantum Of Solace (my No 19)
*absolutely aware it is still only an opinion what I have to offer
Nor do I. It's a terrific Bond film, better than a large number of the films in the franchise. I could even make a case for it being Craig's best film.

I agree entirely. The style, the mood, the wit, the sex, the danger, it all started right there in 1962. It's nothing but a springboard for Connery, giving him all these wonderfully quiet moments to play detective in his hotel, or in his efforts to outsmart all his company. The way he subtly played everything is a masterclass in screen acting, where the character of a man is built up not by what he says, but what he does. His chess game with Taro in her home is a perfect example of this; the way Bond tugs her hard by the towel on her neck when he knows she wants him dead, and how he muscles his way to her and forces her to leave the house so he can hand her to authorities and avoid another run-in with No's squad who she knows will be coming.
The casino introduction alone is one of the greatest moments in cinema period, the most iconic image in all of the Bond series. You can feel the ripples in history just watching it.
SC and DC are the best Bonds, and so their films make up the "definitive" best five (listed alphabetically):
CR
FRWL
GF
SF
TB
The "definitive" bottom five (listed alphabetically):
