    See...GE above DN.....how can this happen.

    My thoughts exactly. I'm also very surprised to see that somehow, DAD made it to someone's #4 slot.

    And that wasn't even me, imagine that :))

    The Top 10 ranked movies in that table make absolutely sense. Not one that wouldn't belong in there in my opinion.
    It also shows nicely that all 6 actors have hit the jackpot at one point or the other.

    Forgive me, if this has been posted somewhere else, but has anyone else see Digital Spy's rankings yet?

    Some of the comments from the members on there are quite predictable!

    I did see Digital Spy's ranking just now. Top 2 are mine, but switched. Mostly decent list I thought.

    Quite a predictable list, although many casual Bond fans will place Goldfinger at number 1.

    Not as often as you think (on Bond forums)

    Casino Royale, Goldeneye, OHMSS, FRWL have similar or high percentages of 1st places

    The FRWL graph of MI6C is similar to the GF "Random website" plot

    It's definitely still well loved here but there's a wider distribution. GF has less 1st places mostly because of FRWL and CR.

    I think FRWL isn't as well regarded among the general audience because it doesn't have the Bond tropes as defined by Goldfinger.

    Goldfinger is No 1 with the general public, and rightfully so.

    But they are missing out on the great films of the series....OHMSS, the Daltons...

    However they are getting some recognition these days, such as the digital spy ranking that Lazzers mentioned above

    Haha a lot of love for DAD on the digital spy ranking comments

    They pointed out the theme song, the CGI surfing and the invisible car, that's enough to place it at 23.
    Once enough time has passed and people can see past those glaring prejudices against DAD it will escape the last place in rankings.

    Yes it will like CR will slightly go down in time as well, No 2 is too high.

    That I will disagree with you on. A lot of DAD is enjoyable (and quite a lot of people on here like the first half). But other Bond films are more enjoyable.

    The CGI and appalling one-liners is enough of an abomination to keep it low in rankings. As I've said, it's an insult to the 88 skydives done for the MR PTS, Rick Sylvester's parachute, the Aston roll, AMC barrel roll, Wayne Michael's bungee jump, Kananga's croc jump etc etc. If I want CGI I'll watch Marvel

    However, I must be one of the only ones to like the invisible car

    I believe DAD is Brosnan's MR.
    It will have more fans respectively escape the bottom once enough time has passed. DAD is only 13 years old and there are only 3 movies after DAD, soon 4.
    I could be wrong of course, we'll see in 10 years.

    I experience a different reality "out there".
    At my Birthday Party where I showed 9 Bond movies on 3 different screens, DAD and CR were the most popular by far. The oldest person of the approx. twenty people is 42 the youngest 35.

    MR is infinately better than DAD. Although many scenes are just as bad.....Dolly and Jaws! I agree that is it is the noughties MR though.

    It's true, see the comments on digital spy, a lot of them were flabbergasted that DAD was bottom!

    And interesting how polar opposite Bond films were the most popular (albeit a small sample size)...just depends on one's personality and what one expects from a Bond film. DAD type films alienate people who despise the cheesy one-liners (I don't think the general audience cares too much if Bond stunts are done for real (eg Komodo dragons), with a few record breaking exceptions). Serious Bond films will alienate those who like the fun Bond and know nothing of the source material.

    All your points make sence. However, why did CR do so well then?

    Not sure you asked me but my believe is that CR is objectively seen the best Bond movie since OHMSS.

    Yes but why was both DAD AND CR popular? They are so different!

    The Digital Spy rankings are probably a good representation of all critics lists yet most DS members think it's a lousy effort!

    I still think many of those on DS who criticise 'OHMSS' have eithet not seen the film or only seen parts of it!

    My only gripe is 'Thunderball' placed so low in the DS rankings!

    Only because it doesn't conform to their own rankings.

    It is quite a typical list.

    No, it's not :) Just genuinely curious why DAD and CR were both popular. They couldn't be more different.

    DAD is appropriately placed on the Digital Spy rankings, but I personally feel TWINE should be there too just next to it. Both representative of what not to do when making a Bond film.

    I don't completely agree with the rankings they've done but it's not bad (I certainly agree with it far more than some 'fan's' rankings on here). Swap TB with GF and I'll be even happier.

    Yes. It is. I asked because you said that "Serious Bond films will alienate those who like the fun Bond and know nothing of the source material". But the general public as a whole (who know nothing of Fleming and were used to Brosnan) loved it. I love it because I am a Fleming purist, but that doesn't accord with the general public.

    We now have a BOTTOM TEN

    Two of these probably don't count. I find the inclusion of...
    LALD

    To be a bit of a stunner.

    I'd like to hear your opinion on QOS, DAF, and GF

    If you weren't new you'd know that many of your "gasps" are not really "gasps" on here.

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


    EXPLANATIONS
    Quantum of Solace- We all know the movie is a mess, but to me there's no denying that there is alot of creativity and style (insert pretentious font) packed in that bullet of a movie. I dug the brutality and how hard it hit. Really my only big gripe with it would be the whole boat chase in Haiti. It's unnecessary and boring. And GOD(!) I LOVE the Tosca sequence. It is honestly probably my favorite scene in a Bond film.

    Diamonds Are Forever- Clearly I have a soft spot in my heart for this one. So I'll keep this brief.
    -short pink tie
    -prissy Blofeld
    -Plenty O'Toole's......tits
    -PITON TO THE FACE
    -Connery seems to care again after his wooden performance in YOLT. ($$$$$$)
    -"BAJA!?!?"
    -Las Vegas in the 70's. I half expect to see Raoul Duke to be stumbling around in the backround on ether and LSD.
    -Crazy sideburns
    -Overall ridiculousness
    -Idk man I really just like this movie

    Goldfinger- Alright. Don't get me wrong. This movie is ICONIC and GREAT, and if I were to do a list but looking at it from a perspective of best FILM to worst FILM and not favorite to least favorite GF would be much higher. But man, I just would watch almost any of the other Bond films over it if I had to choose. And for me I'd take Dr.No and FRWL over Goldfinger any day of the week.
