    Hey we're all different, but even after Skyfall OHMSS for me still has the most beautiful locations and cinematography of the entire series. It's very beauty is one of the reasons I rank it so highly. The score is also my favourite of the series.

    I agree, SF and OHMSS are just magnificent in their cinematography, I'd throw CR on that list too, I never saw the Bahamas look better than in this film, at least above water.

    I think one of the best films for cinematography is TSWLM. There are some shots that just look brilliant.

    Agreed, and MR is a gem as well in that respect at least. See, I can say something nice about it after all ;)

    I rank ohmss so highly for these reasons ,I love the story , cinematography and soundtrack , truly stunning! Up there with the very best of the series. This after hating it as a lad and rediscovering it it in my twenties.
    The soundtrack in particular has provided me great escapism from the terrible smelly commute to college especially with all this snow we've had!.
    I also think we have our best incarnation of blofeld.

    Anyway to explain my bottom 3
    DAF- I have a soft spot for it because it was one of the few bonds I had on VHS as a young lad, you know the VHS cases that when stored next to each other showed all the bonds in a type of firey action pose? ( I thought my bond 'collection' of YOLT,DAF,LALD,TMWTGG and TWINE looked cool without the other 14 films ) .
    Why Santa chose to give me that selection of 007 flicks I will never know .
    I still can't get over how boring I find the story , characters and locations thou , I think we have a half decent Barry score but that dosent make up what to me feels anything but a bond movie most of the time . If you were trying to get someone who had never seen a bond film before into the films you wouldn't even contemplate showing them DAF , just dull and boring for me . A damp squib with annoying campy characters , amsterdam and vegas as dull locations and a bond who can't be arsed.

    OP- the bond I have seen the least probably and maybe that's because I can never get into it, maybe I've never given it chance ( it'll get another soon as up next is moonraker on my current bond50 marathon) .
    One of the main reasons Its in my bottom 3 is I've never had time for it , the annoying maud Adams being a big factor, I never really liked her in TMWTGG and yes the clown suit puts me off massively! This has nothing to do with the 'silliness' some members seem to suggest plagues Rogers films, I actually think he has perfect delivery, is a terribly underrated actor/bond and had some of the best stunts/lines,storylines and bond girls in the series. This isn't an attack on rog! I love roger Moore!
    But I can't get over the Tarzan scene and I think rog is at his worst dressed throughout this movie!
    Also all time high is an appalling song.
    The main factor thou is simply I find my self loving bits of alot more in all the other bonds

    DAD-
    Jinx,Graves,Zao,Mr Kill,MADONNA!

    All appalling characters dreadfully acted
    Most cringeworthy bond? I'd say so

    Moonraker at #22 ! :(

    I'd appreciate it, if you could, after a viewing, place it a more favorable position. I mean, it's nowhere near as bad as that, and in my top five of all things

    I just don't like to see that Moore release get bad reviews that's all

    I rewatched Moonraker yesterday. I think I will bump it up to #21, having being slightly better than YOLT.
    I enjoyed the beginning quite a bit (more than I remember) up until the Venice canal chase. Everything went downhill from there, and aside from Manuela (who was adorable), there was nothing that really redeemed it. Drax was forgettable, as was Goodhead. Plus there were lasers... and the Romeo & Juliet overture to Jaws meeting his future girlfriend was just embarrasing.
    There were some funny bits though, and I'll definitely watch it again. Maybe it will grow on me.

    At least it's better than DAD and Sean Connery "turning Japanese".

    Enjoy it son. I can see why some people don't like the India scenes but keep pushing on till it gets to Germany and you get one of the best half hours of the series.

    And remember even when it comes to the Tarzan scene you could always be watching Downing trying to beat his man and deliver a cross so life could be worse.

    Any James Bond release that can keep your attention for the whole duration, is a good watch - and Moonraker does just that. But that's how I see it. It's not a movie for everyone, granted

    There's simply so much to get involved in, and it's not a restrictive Bond with regards to locations, such as License to Kill or You Only Live Twice, as Bond gets to a number of fine locations, and the background scores could well be the best of the franchise

    Hugo Drax is a great villain though. Anyone who can come up with classic lines such as "You appear with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season" - really deserves a mention

    Good Morning Everyone, New Guy Here. My worst 3 Bond Movies have to be -
    TMWTGG - absolutely cringe-worthy. Lazy film-making.
    DAF - an absolute joke of a movie. a dreadful non follow on from OHMSS.
    QOS- a complete mess of a film. non sensical story and arty shots of lizards!!
    Thankyou

    23- Die Another Day
    22- Moonraker
    21- Tomorrow Never Dies

    Though all do have saving graces. In fact, I don't have anything in particular that annoys me about TND, its just I find it really generic. Too many explosions, bloated finale.

    Moonraker, some cracking scenes (e.g centrafuge scene), but the latter half was just...well, cheese.

    And same old same old for DAD, I'm afraid.

    You are right, I do have the movies even in the UE dvd form but when ever I try to watch them I find that within minutes I find an excuse to do something else, even if that is cleaning or ironing.

    Not liking Daltons 007 has not altered my universe in any way, some actors just do not work for me.

    It's all about personal likes & dislikes. Just kidding about the gettoblaster thing. It's all good.
