    My usual Top 6 which hadn't much changed in a good 20 years (except CR entering it in 2006 obviously).

    1. GE - Brosnan
    2. TLD - Dalton
    3. OHMSS - Lazenby
    4. CR - Craig
    5. OP - Moore
    6. GF - Connery

    There was a point I had all six, but TLD has dropped dramatically.

    I'm experiencing something similar, but with LTK. It seems more and more like QoS, and that's not a good thing as far as I'm concerned. TLD on the other hand, is firmly in my top 10. There are plenty of problems with TLD, but I still manage to enjoy it from start to finish.
    The third act of TLD can be very hard to get through, but I think the rest of the movie is excellent!

    I like the third act in a kind of "kick back and let it unfold" kind of way. The cinematography is amazing and the score is lush. They definitely could have cut a lot out, but it never really bothers me too much.

    The third act unfolds gradually, and I must say it's my favorite section of the film. The score is amazing, as is the location, and the overall mood and feel. You get the impression they really are out in the middle of nowhere in that desert. I've always liked Kamran Shah's character as well- an underrated ally.

    I have all the actors in my top7. My top7 would be:

    1. TLD
    2. FYEO
    3. FRWL
    4. GF
    5. GE
    6. OHMSS
    7. CR

    The remianing 3 films in my top10 are more bizarre choises. But I always enjoy watching these films and therefore can't put them lower:

    8. AVTAK
    9. YOLT
    10. LALD

    I have something similar, the first 8 are, with the exception of #5, more or less classic choices (OHMSS, TLD, FRWL, GE, LTK, CR, TB, GF), spots 9 and 10 are favourites of mine that I can't put lower:

    9. TMWTGG
    10. TWINE

    I like these, too. Have them around 14 or 15.

    I had 6 actors in the top six. CR, FRWL, GE, OHMSS, OP, TLD.

    This year's Bondathon, Dr No has entered the untouchable six. So it will be 6 actors in the top 7 films. Not sure yet which film will be 7th, but it's looking like Octopussy

    My top six I think stay pretty consistent maybe a switch or two.

    1. FRWL
    2. CR
    3. OHMSS (Lazenby keeps from second)
    4. TSWLM
    5. SF
    6. TND (Why not? It's just a straightforward Bond film.)

    Alt #6 TB (there! happy?)

    I much prefer the alt #6 (which happens to be my #2). Then it's a fantastic list imho.

    Yes I agree. I was in a pity party for TND. TB would be higher except for pacing problems.

    @Gumbold

    Spectre has been my best cinematic Bond experience since GoldenEye.
    In fact I count three films now to have had a huge impact on my Bond fandom.

    The Living Daylights - which at age 13 started my life long love for Bond
    GoldenEye - the best cinematic experience I had in my twenties, close second is Star Trek First Contact.
    Spectre - Bond is back, finally and even with Craig which I never expected. It's GoldenEye redux, it's perfect from the incredible PTS to the best ending a Bond movie ever had (except OHMSS). M is M again and not Bond's mother. Q finally is back (in SF he was an imbecile), now he is practically as good as Desmond. Moneypenny is perfect, secretary with the benefit of having experience in the field.
    It's the best of both worlds, old: Blofeld, Spectre and new: Brosnan/Moore action and humour.

    I couldn't be happier. I went to see it 13 times at the cinema. And I love the theme song. I loved it from the first listen. Kleinman's titles are simply stunning together with the song.
    I could go on, but I guess you get the picture :)

    @BondJasonBond006

    Man I wish I loved it as much as you do. The foster brother thing, slow car chase, score with no personality, no chemistry between Bond and Madeleine Swann (who by the way is very wooden), gaping plot holes, very noticable and bad CGI, and Daniel Craig sleepwalking ruin it for me. To top it all off I think the movie "looks too good" in a way that it feels fake. It's almost as if technology has gotten so far that I never can get into the movie.

    You clearly speak about Skyfall, don't you? :P

    Spectre may have plot holes, as do all Bond movies, but SP is fun entertainment with humour, so plot holes don't matter. SF made the inexcusable mistake to take itself so seriously that the glaring plot holes practically ruin the movie. Skyfall looks too good, it got the best cinematography of all Bond films. SP looks good too, but it has much more visual character, just look at all the fantastic sets.

    @BondJasonBond006

    Honestly I guess I'm talking about Spectre and Skyfall. I think if I ever managed to make a complete list, they would be near the bottom for me. James Bond in blue suits with a buzz cut. I know Daniel Craig picks his own clothes for the movie, and people are very impressed, but I think his suits in SP and SF are atrocious.

    I'm with you on all of that, but the worst aspect is Craig, and I loved him in the first three. Irreverent does not work for Craig, it comes off as prissy and bitchy.

    The next Bond should be irreverent, in my opinion.

    I actually own Tom Ford suits, yes they are tight fit but I think it looks great.
    I love Craig's clothing in the L'Americain sequence, the crater sequence, the PTS and the train especially, also the Rome funeral scene.

    I have to agree with you on the Rome funeral, especially the sun glasses, and the L'americain sequence.

    The winter wear in the snow scenes (in Spectre) look horrendous!

    I don't care much about fashion in Bond films but I somehow disliked the globe trotting elements with Bond always changing his clothes. I mean it feels so unnatural. How many suitcases does the man carry in order to take all this different types of outfits with him????

    Tom Ford was on Charlie Rose a few weeks back. Interesting chap. He was wearing a black number with tie pin (Rose actually asked him about it - commenting that he hasn't seen that in a while). I noticed right away that his outfit looked almost identical to Craig's during the funeral scene in SP.

    I would much rather they go back to another designer for the next film. I'm not happy with his contributions to this storied franchise.
