GoldenEye was great, but then things faltered in the next two movies, before collapsing in DAD. This is kind of a theme.
Gottfried John was great.
Geoffrey Palmer was great.
Izabella Scorrupco was great. (I remember reading a quote from her saying something like "I'll be happy if I just have to wear a bikini all day". She gets extra marks for that totally un-PC comment alone).
Well, I don't think my ranking is that odd. I do have all 6 actors in the top 6, which shows that I don't let favouritism get in the way in my ranking.
It is very crowed in the upper half of the ranking as I actually love all those movies a lot.
Everything between No 9 and 15 could change again after my next Bondathon.
As a sidenote I did think about putting Dr. No considerably up to No 10 and I probably should, but I'll decide when I have watched it again. For now my decision stands.
Ha. You won't like a friend of mine. I was talking to him the other week and he said "what was that terrible Bond film where he was on a boat with this bloke and the camera keeps tilting all the bloody time".
Obviously, I knew the film he was referring to instantly.
Well, you don't see that every day... :)
Before I became a proper member there was someone who had it as their favourite Bond film of all.
Yes I happen to love that movie, I can see past its minor flaws like bad CGI.
I love it for its over-the-top sci-fi almost comic adaption feel. In 2002 that was exactly what the audience wanted. The humour in it is priceless.
I'll agree with this. The first hour of TND was the high point for me, DAD was the obvious low. This era was adequate at best.
Well that's a matter of opinion. Certainly not fact. On seeing DAD in '02 I remember coming out of the cinema thinking where was the signature Bond stunt. Where were BJ Worth or Jake Lombard performing some aerial lunacy. Simon Crane or Wayne Michaels making my jaw drop in a stunt that Bond has become famous for.
Instead I got none of that. All to be replaced by over the top CGI.
I've grown fonder of DAD over the years, but it's still a bottom ranking film. At least for me.
The humour was at times good. At times bad. Wouldn't say priceless, but each to their own.
There are enough Brosnan bashing threads around.
No, there aren t.

i chose to do away with numbering them, as outside of the clear #1 that is FRWL, my rankings tend to be fluid, and can change whenever.. so instead of going through the tedious task of ranking them - which probably wouldn't be truly reflective of my real feelings on each film (as i pretty much like them all).. i decided to group them based on ones i really like, and ones i like less.... i can't do the number game anymore lol..

Agree on GE's title track & Kleinman. Otherwise it was generally a subpar period for the franchise imho.
It almost appeared like a rival franchise poorly imitating Bond to me, rather than real Bond. Chalk it up to some people getting their feet wet over there, a general lack of confidence in their own product & its huge legacy, and MGM meddling imho.
Once again, someone who has AVTAK ranked higher than me. I feel ashamed.
1. I took all people's latest/newest updated TOP 10 rankings (Many people give their updated rankings several times).
2. I only looked at the posts from this year (1st of January till now. Sorry, because of all the work I didn't see you @walter1985)
3. Then I added Eurovision style points to each and individual TOP 10 ranking:
no# 1 - 12 points
no# 2 - 10 points
no# 3 - 08 points
no# 4 - 07 points
no# 5 - 06 points
no# 6 - 05 points
no# 7 - 04 points
no# 8 - 03 points
no# 9 - 02 points
no#10- 01 point
4. With this system I could add the TOP 10's of 54 forummembers. I added them up all together. And this is the TOP 25 ranking so far:
The funny thing is....the results are almost exactly the same as a similar poll I am conducting on two topics on the IMDB-forum: "SPECTRE"-topic and the "James Bond"=topic. Those results I will post later, so you can compare.
