And by the way, the member with DAD at #5 has FRWL, GF, DN, OHMSS at #1-4
This is what fascinates me about member rankings!
-BondJasonBond006 (1, 9, 16, 10) I rate them quite high as well.
Ah but TWINE is at 16 :P :)
Damn, you're right, shame on me =P~
I was just about to mention Chandler Bong. I have never seen anyone else rank DAD in the top spot. From being dead last back in 2002, when I walked out of the cinema, DAD has climbed up my own list. There is some good in DAD, mostly pre-Cuba, it's largely what happens from Cuba on that drags it down.
I'm not going to lie, those did lend some help. But to be fair, other films like FYEO (now in my top 10) have gone up (or down), irrespective of how I feel towards other Bond films. And it has been 13 years, I look at DAD now, and while I still have problems with it, there are aspects of the film I like, which I didn't back in 2002.
I'm happy to see some support to my list
I truly enjoyed Pierce's films the most They were the perfect blend between comedy action and some romance.

Highest I've ever seen DAD rate anywhere I think.
That list gave me a good laugh too but then it is his opinion so I respect that.
Thats cool
I have an original taste, though someone broke my record with DAD.
Wait until you see that breathtaking PTS sequence of TWINE!
Brosnan is fantastic in that one!
Yes, another fav of mine. Arnold's score here is fantastic, and I like the tie adjust, dont' care how silly it is. The best (only?) thing about TWINE
Oh that tie adjust, one of my favourite moments of any Bond movie. Brosnan is the only one besides Moore that had such witty moments without speaking one word!
TWINE has a lot that is good but in the end it is my least favourite Brosnan movie, I just can't stand Renard...
Another sequence that I find fantastic is with those razorblades swinging helicopters destroying Zukovsky's caviar plant.
It's a pretty good scene, particularly Zukobsky's line at the end, but what I find with TWINE is that it lacks visual interest. Compare Istanbul in TWINE vs SF or FRWL.
The good points include Mrs Bell, alligators, JW Pepper, the oyster guy.
Some like the apparently funny script but I didn't like it this time around - DAF's is more enjoyable.
Thus far:
1. OHMSS
2. FRWL
3. DN
4. DAF
5. GF
6. YOLT
7. TB
8. LALD
His introduction is the worst. It's kinda amusing with Miss Caruso there but pales massively in comparison to all other introductions
I have to say Guy Hamilton did an amazing job with GF, but LALD is not great. I secretly quite like Gun though.
GF has iconic moments made moreso by that score.
But all his films are visually dull. The location shots and action camera angles feel off. A bit like the Glen films but at least the latter are fun
GF's not fun? Even GUn is fun IMO.
And the opening aerial shots of Florida in GF are fantastic.
In fact I totally disagree with you. GF "visually dull"? Its jam packed with amazing visuals. Above aerial shot. The golden girl money shot. The DB5 in the Alps. GF's laser room, the billiards room, the interiors of Fort Knox.
GF is one of the most visually stunning movies in the series. And LALD and Gun are not short of visual interest either - lots of iconic images from both.
Yes those scenes are fun, and yes iconic images from LALD/TMWTGG but it's just that. Scenes and images, great for a desktop wallpaper. And I'm not denying their impact on the series, or on me.
But from what the movies have shown me (8 films in) I'd rather visit Japan, Bahamas, Istanbul, than Miami, San Monique (yes I know it's fictional) or New Orleans. Someone made a comment that FRWL immerses you in the sights and culture of Istanbul, and I totally agree. What do we get of Kentucky in GF? A shot of KFC, GF's stud and a car crusher. We got all of one intersection, and airport?, shot of New Orleans assuming it was shot on location
I didn't think I would enjoy YOLT but I loved the shots of Japan, the sunsets, etc, which drew the attention away from the negatives.
