    The only thing that saves TLD from sinking to my bottom grouping is the first 20 minutes or so, which are excellent (minus the shenanigans with supervisor and the mole).

    The last half an hour is almost as good as the first for me. I love the gorgeous visuals in the desert and Barry's music is simply stunning here. I hear a lot of people describe this section as boring, but to me it is the perfect breathing space before the huge fight between the two forces at the end. I also enjoy the confrontation with Whitaker a lot, although the ending of the film is a bit cheesy, and I despise the song over the credits, just like with LTK and GE.

    I like the battle with Whitaker for the most part, but the fact that Bond keeps shooting the goddamned armor instead of taking a body shot really hurts it for me.

    100% agree with this @Birdleson..

    I thought the body armour was what he was wearing. That's why the first three shots ricochet off. Then he shoots the glass thing to try and break it, and when he fails Whitaker says that Bond had his eight and now he'll have his eighty.

    With the cabinets around the room, I don't think Bond has a clear shot at Whittaker's body.

    TLD has its flaws, thanks to Glen. No-one mentions the most incompetent 00 agent in 002 who is out of the training exercise as soon as he lands

    However, one tends to forgive mini flaws in a favourite film. Let's see...
    - The PTS
    - Pushkin interrogation
    - Score
    - Action
    - Koskov defection
    - Death of Saunders
    - Safehouse scene
    - Green 4 fight, and Necros's attack
    - Fight on plane at the end
    - Jail fight (doesn't match the film's tone but enjoyable nonetheless)

    Wow, there was a lot of unexpected movement in this year's list. Some of these are ranked so closely together that it doesn't take much to shoot up the list.

    Biggest Movers - This is actually closer to where I usually have TLD. I had a bad experience with it last year and it fell way down the list. I have fallen out of love with SF, although it's still an enjoyable experience.

    I'm actually bummed about both LALD and DN falling out of the top ten. You just can't include every film. Look at OP sneaking into my top ten for the first time in... I don't even know how many years.

    I really found a new appreciation for TMWTGG, but I'm curious if it can stay that high in next year's list. QoS just continues to defy all odds.

    TB has fallen on hard times recently. Dare I say that it's the most overrated film on this forum? Still, it does have some great moments. I really struggled to get through YOLT this time around. It's never finished quite this low before. I wonder if it will become a trend.

    FRWL and OHMSS swapped first and third place respectively, but CR remains a constant as the runner up. It has never claimed the coveted top spot.

    Nice to see Octopussy in the top 10. It's 7th for me this year, probably its lowest spot since I started ranking around 2008

    bond ranking (december 2016) - compared to the last list i made in july 2015. by now i've seen most of them 3 or 4 times and all of them at least twice.

    Great

    1. Casino Royale '06 (=)
    2. Dr. No (+1)
    3. Goldfinger (+6)

    notes: these films just hold up. gf might be beat in certain aspects, but overall, its as perfect as a bond movie can be and deliverys on all front.

    Very Good

    4. License to Kill (-2)
    5. Octopussy (+2)
    6. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (-2)
    7. The Living Daylights (+7)
    8. You Only Live Twice (+5)
    9. Quantum of Solace (+10)

    notes: i thought tld was a little awkward at first but i've come to appreciate, it's action, story and the direction it took the series in. quantum is a movie that gets better in each viewing, i love its uniqueness. yolt enters the top 10 ; it's my favorite of the fantasy bond films.

    Good

    10. Skyfall (-2)
    11. Live and Let Die (+7)
    12. Goldeneye (+5)
    13. The Spy Who Loved Me (-8)
    14. Thunderball (+7)

    notes: i thought ge and tb were overrated, and still do, but i was a bit harsh on them. tswlm is good but i'm no longer following the hype that it's moore's best. with lald, i've come to love its weirdness.

    Decent

    15. From Russia With Love (-9)
    16. Tomorrow Never Dies (+4)
    17. The World Is Not Enough (-6)
    18. Spectre (new)
    19. For Your Eyes Only (-9)
    20. Die Another Day (-8)

    notes: frwl is a classic, and i love the 2nd half, but the first half i just find so boring. fyeo was another good bond movie on paper but i think being plain is worse than being goofy. i loved dad on first viewing, but it didn't age well. i saw spectre twice and my opinion of it stayed the same. tnd i loved at first, but then it disappointed me in the 2nd viewing, and in the 3rd i found a balance between its strengths and weaknesses.

    Mediocre

    21. A View to a Kill (+1)
    22. The Man with the Golden Gun (-7)
    23. Moonraker (-1)
    24. Diamonds Are Forever (=)

    notes: mostly the same, except over time i became less forgiving of all the filler and wasted potential in tmwtgg.

    1981 to 1989 the entries do seem a little tired, and the problem is worse with FYEO because it was so down to earth, and quite gentle in a way.
  • GoldenGunGoldenGun Per ora e per il momento che verrà

    I appreciate the good intentions of FYEO, but I feel the whole thing is quite unexceptional.

    The other Glen films, especially the last two, have some great scenes that stand out. FYEO can feel somewhat forgettable at times.

    I never really cared for the villains or the girls in this one either. I am aware of the fact that people have similar feelings about TLD, but I love every single character in that one.

    Also, FYEO is tonally the most unbalanced of all. The scene with Thatcher is the prime example. It's the same parrot who actually saves the day too, that is twelve times goofier than Rog in clown make-up.

    The film doesn't seem to realize that and just goes on pretending to be a serious spy thriller. Imagine a squirrel telling Tim that Koskov's defection was fake.

    No they cannot. I exaggerated to emphasize that I find it a bit ridiculous that a parrot saves the day in a Bond film. Max did deserve a kiss from Marge, that's for sure.
