Quite. I love Thunderball, but the % rating makes it seem not so. Moreover, I couldn't give the categories higher ratings. Still it will be interesting how our two lists compare.

One of the best maintitle's and title songs. Bond 23 rank: 15/23
The lower rank be inspecialy because of the biggest part of the music, the villian lair, part of the plot and i don't like this Blofeld.
Dear God @M_Bajle, that's the first time I ever heard someone 'dis the volcano lair!
That's @M_Bajle for you! ;-)
Any more votes, before I round this 'un up tomorrow?

Hmm, a bit low for my liking, but what with it's plot problems, I can't really complain. Most users rated it around 65-75%.
How does it compare with your own ratings/rankings?
Mine = 74.88%, so lower. It seems that it will be down in the lower registers, which is where I, and I expect you, have YOLT.
Whilst reading other peoples ratings, what stood out for you?
M_Bajle on the Ken Adam's stunning volcano lair.
Feel free to comment, and another Bond coming soon!!!
