Only temporary Torg , until I watch it next time I’m sure.
What’s your order matey ?
It's been in my top three for years now. I can't seem to get tired of that film!
Usually #5 on average for me x always battling wz GE .
Haven't managed to rank GE really high in recent years. About time I watch it again soon - the ranking might change!
Let me know... it’s the film that took Bond away from the Cold War in such a brilliant and respectful way.
Such an important film to keep the series going,possibly Bond’s last shot after LTK and a 6 year gap when everyone said Bond was finished.
It really was (and is) an important film in the series. Pierce was a perfect Bond for the 90's as well. Who knows what could have happened had they for some reason gone for a different actor!
Spot on ,Pierce was the perfect Bond for both sides of the Atlantic n Campbell the perfect director .
That's where you go wrong with your top 5 .
Don't go along with this love for GE.
In fact TLD is a million times better!
Still love your posts barry, but you get it seriously wrong with Daltons debut! Classic Bond!
Mathis I should put you in chains for that comment !
If I had to rate the Bond actors right now :
1.Moore
2.Connery
3.Brosnan
4.Craig (too much emotion since QOS ,That’s not Bond,with the obvious exception of OHMSS due to his wife’s death and his future destroyed )
5.Dalton
6.Lazenby
Wonder if there's a younger Campbell type director out there. If he's getting a bit too old now, the producers couldn't go wrong with a Campbell type director.
Haha! Well looks like we're miles apart.
For me it would be.
1. Dalton
2. Craig
3.Connery
4 Moore/Lazenby
6.Brossa
Actually I used to make this list without Brossa
As I think, and still do, that he should never have been cast!!
1) From Russia With Love
2) On Her Majesty's Secret Service
3) Casino Royale
4) Dr. No
5) The Spy Who Loved Me
Swapping FRWL and OHMSS is eminently reasonable. And the rest, well that's between you and your own personal skyfairy. Here endeth the lesson.
1. Sean Connery
2. Roger Moore
3. Pierce Brosnan
4. Daniel Craig
5. Timothy Dalton
6. George Lazenby
Brosnan and Moore are my favorite.
All I know is that Sean’s first four, George’s one and Craig’s first three are unbeatable and unparalleled. To me these eight are necessary viewings. In what order?
Then:
9/YOLT
10/LALD
11/TLD
12/GE
13/LTK
14/DAF
15/TSWLM
16/OP
17/TMWTGG
18/SP
19/FYEO
20/AVTAK
21/MR
22/TND
23/TWINE
24/DAD
I made a top 10 of all different aspects of a Bond film. As in a top 10 favourite Bond girl, villain, henchman, ally, music, title song, sets, locations, title sequence, pre-credit sequence, post-credits sequence, cinematography, climax, gunbarrel, etc. The film ending up first in a category gets 10 pts, the number 10 gets 1 pt, with everything in between receiving 2, 3, 4 up to 9 pts.
Than I also handed out extra points for my 3 favourite portrayals of recurring characters M, Q, Moneypenny, Leiter and Blofeld.
And finally a film with my favourite Bond received 6 extra pts and those with my least favourite 007 received only one extra point and those with the ones in between receiving 5 to 2 pts.
After all that my ranking of the films turned out to be like this (between brackets the points they gathered and in case of a tie my personal favourite ends up first):
1. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (106 pts)
2. The Living Daylights (94 pts)
3. From Russia with Love (92 pts)
4. GoldenEye (92 pts)
5. Thunderball (77 pts)
6. You Only Live Twice (70 pts)
7. Licence to Kill (64 pts)
8. Moonraker (50 pts)
9. The World Is Not Enough (41 pts)
10. The Man with the Golden Gun (40 pts)
11. Dr. No (38 pts)
12. Casino Royale (36 pts)
13. A View to a Kill (33 pts)
14. Goldfinger (31 pts)
15. The Spy Who Loved Me (25 pts)
16. For Your Eyes Only (19 pts)
17. Diamonds Are Forever (19 pts)
18. Octopussy (18 pts)
19. Tomorrow Never Dies (16 pts)
20. Quantum of Solace (14 pts)
21. Live and Let Die (13 pts)
22. Skyfall (12 pts)
23. Never Say Never Again (12 pts)
24. Die Another Day (9 pts)
25. Spectre (6 pts)
I suppose I can conclude that I definitely need to rewatch Moonraker soon :))

As someone who has tried and failed on numerous occasions to rank the films I think I may just try your scientific approach and see what the result is.
I'm doing a Bondathon soon, and I will mark them all using a similar system. Then see what the outcome is.

I find it tough to rank them. I realize GF, TSWLM and CR are good Bond films and I appreciate them a lot. But despite their flaws entries like TMWTGG, AVTAK and TWINE just mean more to me.
As for LALD and QOS, there is a lot to like in almost every entry and they are no exception. I’d still rate both of them 6/10, I just like the others a tad more. The only one that doesn’t get a 6 or more is SP. That one I’d give a 5/10.
1. Casino Royale
2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
3. Goldfinger
4. The Spy Who Loved Me
5. Skyfall
6. Dr. No
7. From Russia with Love
8. GoldenEye
9. Thunderball
10. Licence to Kill
11. Live and Let Die
12. For Your Eyes Only
13. Quantum of Solace
14. You Only Live Twice
15. The Living Daylights
16. Tomorrow Never Dies
17. A View to a Kill
18. Octopussy
19. Moonraker
20. The World Is Not Enough
21. Spectre
22. The Man with the Golden Gun
23. Diamonds Are Forever
24. Die Another Day

Yes,it has happened,TLD has moved from the bottom of my rankings.
Who would have thought it would take Bond's arse to make me realise TLD isn't the worst Bond film ?! (which it never was to me,it was just.......her).
The arrogance of that arse lit up a lightbulb in my head hahaha
