    AVTAK felt like the first film where the filmmakers weren't pushing themselves to make the best movie they could. It was just the box office this time around.

    I have heard this complaint very often. But do you for instance think that DAF, TMWTGG or MR were films which the film makers tried to make as good as possible?

    I will give you TMWTGG, but DAF and MR are both films where every dollar shows on screen. They had an idea and did their best to develop upon it. They have their share of bad moments, but that is from poor decisions, not a lack of effort. For example, you can't look at the MR PTS and say they weren't trying to do something unique and thrilling.

    AVTAK was the first film where I felt that in every vein they were barely trying anymore. The second half of the plot is rehashed from GF and is a non sequitur following from the first half, the editing is noticeably bad in some places, they were not trying at all to hide the stunt doubles, the fights are decidedly so-so, the PTS is a rerun of the much better TSWLM PTS and the performances are average overall. They were sort of exhausted and just did whatever they wanted, knowing it would sell because it was Moore's last film.

    Typo??? DAF??? There is not one moment that shouts expensive, except for Connery's paycheck. There's less effort in the exploding helicopters and exploding nuclear bases than the cgi surfing scene

    OK, it's been a while since I've put DAF on, but I feel like this problem crops up more towards the end than anything.

    22. Moonraker (1979)
    23. The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
    24. Diamonds Are Forever (1971)

    First time posting my full ranking. Parts shuffle fairly regularly, but my Top 3 hasn't changed for a long time, and my Top 10 and Bottom 6 never mix with the others. Recently, apart from a few slight shifts here and there, the biggest changes have been Octopussy dropping significantly and Skyfall climbing significantly. They pretty much just switched places in fact. Skyfall really does have the best cinematography of the series and some very engrossing and well-directed scenes like the enquiry. I've learned to overlook the gaping plot holes as I do with some of my favorite Bonds like GoldenEye. I'm hoping my appreciation for Spectre will similarly rise over time, but I just can't see it happening at the moment.

    Interesting to see,in the last 3 posts (including me) the sudden love for DAD,TWINE and QOS ...I remember the days when DAD was always everyones bottom film...looks like a bit of appreciation is creeping in.

    I probably haven't voiced my opinions too loudly, but I've held TWINE and QOS in high esteem for quite some time. There does, however, seem to be a steadily growing reappraisal of some of the more modern Bond films that haven't been looked upon too kindly in the past. I'd put Licence to Kill and Tomorrow Never Dies in that same category.

    With DAD, for me, it's more of a love/hate thing. As with Moonraker, there is much DAD does right and much it does wrong in my opinion. A solid movie, with superb moments even, unfortunately derailed in the second half by cartoonish and/or overly juvenile creative decisions. Don't get me wrong, they're both films I'm able to enjoy quite a lot in the right mood and the right mindset, but when it comes to finding their places in the overall ranking of the series, it simply comes down to weighing the good and the bad and seeing how far the scale tips.

    Ok I admit that, having watched TLD again recently, it does drag a bit. But AT THE VERY BOTTOM??

    Above all its badly made. Other pastiche entries like MR are at least well made.

    TLD at the bottom? Savage but okay with me. ;)

    It doesn't seem right to put TLD last. What about Moonraker!

    Moonraker is fun and charming. It maybe cheesy and over the top but it sure delivers. Not to mention Roger gives a cracking fine performance.

    DAD belongs at the bottom. If it s growing on you, you need to filtrate your water.

    MR is daft but I'm inclined to watch it more often than TLD.

    Agreed. Moonraker gets better for me each viewing. It's so much fun to watch and always leaves me grinning.
