    Brilliant work, and thank you.

    I feel slightly guilty for AVTAK...

    My ranking is definitely changing more than I expected in my current Bondathon. I'll post the complete ranking once I'm finished, before and after Spectre.

    Today British newspaper "The Telegraph" launched their biggest James Bond Poll ever: You can find the poll, simply titled "Which Is The Best Ever Bond film" here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/james-bond-spectre/rank-films-best-worst-poll/. Already a whopping 900 people have voted in the poll. Remember, these are not necessarily Bond fans, but ordinary readers!

    These are the current standings, with preceded by the mean differences I calculated:
    01. +537: "GOLDFINGER"
    02. +497: "CASINO ROYALE"
    03. +467: "FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE"
    04. +325: "DOCTOR NO"
    05. +278: "SKYFALL"

    06. +260: "THE SPY WHO LOVED ME"
    07. +249: "YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE"
    08. +240: "LIVE AND LET DIE"
    09. +164: "THUNDERBALL"
    10. +151: "ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE"

    11. +141: "GOLDENEYE"
    12. +139: "THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN"
    13. +037: "THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS"
    14. +024: "DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER"
    15. +023: "FOR YOUR EYES ONLY"
    16. -018: "LICENCE TO KILL"
    17. -077: "TOMORROW NEVER DIES"
    18. -106: "MOONRAKER"
    19. -130: "QUANTUM OF SOLACE"
    20. -133: "A VIEW TO A KILL"
    21. -134: "OCTOPUSSY"
    22. -161: "THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH"
    23. -300: "DIE ANOTHER DAY"


    So far, all of Connery's first five Bond films are in the TOP 10. Two of Craig's outings are firmly accompanying Connery in the TOP 5. Roger Moore has two outings in the TOP 10. And entering the TOP 10 is Lazenby's only outing as 007.

    Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan are screwed in this poll. No TOP 10 for these actors :-). Three of Brosnan's outings can be found in the BOTTOM 10. So sad....

    These are the current standings, with preceded by the mean differences I calculated:
    01. +1473: "GOLDFINGER"
    02. +1464: "CASINO ROYALE"
    03. +1263: "FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE"
    04. +0908: "DOCTOR NO"
    05. +0800: "SKYFALL"

    06. +0715: "THE SPY WHO LOVED ME"
    07. +0667: "YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE"
    08. +0648: "LIVE AND LET DIE"
    09. +0575: "THUNDERBALL"
    10. +0527: "GOLDENEYE"

    11. +0469: "ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE"
    12. +0339: "THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN"
    13. +0184: "THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS"
    14. +0178: "FOR YOUR EYES ONLY"
    15. +0165: "DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER"
    16. +0018: "LICENCE TO KILL"
    17. -0104: "TOMORROW NEVER DIES"
    18. -0214: "MOONRAKER"
    19. -0257: "OCTOPUSSY"
    20. -0268: "A VIEW TO A KILL"
    21. -0301: "QUANTUM OF SOLACE"
    22. -0316: "THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH"
    23. -0798: "DIE ANOTHER DAY"

    For your information, the "The BIG IMDB BOND FILM CONTEST (TOP 10 Best Films: Deadline October 18th)"is a huge success so far :-D! A whopping 73 IMDB-members have voted in these polls. It would be awesome if you guys/girls post your TOP in there as well:

    That's not how the poll works actually. Voters simply need to push the "Higher" or "Lower"-button for each of the 23 films.

    Oh I see, there's only about 4 or 5 I would down vote.

    That's a very decent list you have @matt_u a very good top ten anyway. Hard to fault that line up.
    And also a very nice top 12 from @007ClassicBondFan . Always like seeing OP make anyone's top ten. But anything over 13th is good. ;)

    Indeed, a very underrated Bond film, I have a lot of fun watching it, and I love the John Barry Score

    Being on a tablet, I can't seem to load the video, but it does mention that AVTAK "made the grade". I hope they're not being facetious!

    It's outstanding to have this kind of data.

    I'm not surprised on the low sd's (either widely accepted relative 'PoS' films or bona fide classics).

    The only high sd that surprises me is TB. I did not realize it was so contoversial (I'm a big fan).

    @shortpinktie_DAF

    Welcome! Admirable selection for your favorite. I have been contemplating Skyfall as my favorite film, but I always manage to see more depth in Casino Royale.

    @bondjames

    Re: Thunderball — Not too big of a surprise for me because I can't maintain a constant opinion of it. Parts of it are fantastic and other parts sag. It has a good premise for a story, but at times the execution goes awry. One of the hardest films to rank IMO.

    Only one I'd say is, is DAF at 2. But Qos and GF are still unconventional placings

    @M_Balje
    Haha those two are quite extreme rankings. There's 13/174 people with GE in the bottom 6.

    Juraquagmire and MajorDSmythe have CR at 22nd

    Timmer, Perdogg and senthilvel have SF at 23rd

    @bondjames

    There's only a few movies whose ranks are all over the places but I'd say TB divides opinion the most.

    And I've put it down to, you either love or hate the long underwater scenes.

    Personally after my recent Bondathon I have it at 19th unfortunately, and....it's the long underwater scenes. The rest of the movie is great and it's got the funniest lines in the series and a brilliant score.

    @Mansfield, I guess I've totally missed up to now that this one was a mixed bag for a lot of people. I've always just been blown away by Nassau, Connery, Paluzzi & Auger, as well as the amazing dialogue.

    @w2bond, thanks for pulling these stats together. They are really interesting to review.

    I realize that the underwater scenes drag on a bit,....it's true. As I said above, I've just always been so impressed with the rest of it that this part did not bother me so much, but I guess that's where the polarization comes in...I just didn't realize it was such a divisive film among the fanbase.
    17. Goldfinger (gasp gasp gasp)

    @shortpinktie_DAF, I'm in agreement with you on GF. I used to like it when younger but it's really not doing much for me these days, even though I've tried really hard to like it.

    It's great how you can be swept away by it. That's one of the highest conditions a film of any kind, but especially Bond, can do for us. Even though I have it in the middle of the pack, mirroring my uncertainty, the parts that it does amazingly well that you highlighted are engrossing. Though, Connery sometimes comes across as casual (maybe because he is so comfortable in the role at this point?).

    The best I can do is compare my thoughts of Thunderball with Dr. No since the pace of these two seem similar. From Russia With Love and Goldfinger follow a very specific pace and introduce us to the major players right out of the gate, which is a commonalty that I love about those two films. Dr. No and Thunderball introduce us to the plot slowly, giving them a mystery thriller kind of feel. I rank Dr. No so much higher than Thunderball because it never disengages in that strand, whereas Thunderball gets distracted with its own concept at times. It takes them a while to sink their teeth into the plot, where it moves at a fantastic pace, and then slows down again at the end. I don't mind the underwater scene in all its length nearly as much as the speed boat chase. That one sequence is more unwatchable for me than Die Another Day and Quantum Of Solace put together. Mercifully, it doesn't drag on for too long and Largo's death in itself is quite well done.

    True, Thunderball is one of those movies that can go up and down in rankings of people I guess for the reasons you mentioned.

    It has been in my Top 5 at one point imagine that and since Craig's run began has constantly fallen and is now at No 18.

    @bondjames

    No worries, while I like reading people's opinions, it's good to get a summary of people's ranks.

    Before my Bondathon I hadn't watched Thunderball for a while and I had fond memories of the good bits and it ended up in the top 10, but after sitting through it that opinion changed rapidly. I guess you take a glass half full approach.

    He probably is and I love his performance here. Doesn't come across as ruthless and cold as the first 2 but a fun enjoyable performance

    TB is class and in my top 5......it has everything. Great director, star, score, location, villain, Bond girls, script....etc etc. GE is just average to me and will never be in my top 10 ever. CR is the best Bond film since the 60's for me.

    In my opinion there isn't enough love for DN on this site.
