I thought SP might have moved up since you had a more positive viewing of it?
As much as I love SP, I found my most recent viewing of DAD more fun. So that one went up a notch.
Fair enough! I couldn't get through my last viewing od DAD! SP was on ITV2 the other night and i watched it. Still enjoy a lot of it!
DAD is really a blot on the Bond landscape for me! Simply atrocious!
Having second thoughts about that ranking now. I keep going back and forth on my favorite Pierce films. I'm sure I'll have a new ranking in a week or two...........................that looks the same as all my rankings LOL.

Based on what would you rather watch now.
GE took a dive. I just watched it yesterday and wasn't now in the mood for it again so soon. I also watched SPY and VIEW yesterday and they both took a tumble.
TLD went up quite a bit.

I have no idea why DAF is so high (it's probably because I said I'd watch it over Casino Royale right now) but the rest is reasonable accurate

I will have to go back through though and make sure that I add in those people who I don't yet have and update those who I do have to their most recent ranking.
Thanks for sharing! This ranking looks more authoritative and logical than any IMDB / Rotten Tomatoes ranking of the Bond films... this is the aggregation of true connoisseurs' opinions))
Still, some minor surprises:
- Thunderball barely cracking the top 10
- Spectre at a very respectable #14 despite so much mud thrown at it
- YOLT below Octopussy and LALD? Okay...

The latter half of this list is always shifting around.
Thanks.
You can probably tell from my list that I don't hold Brosnan's and Craig's films in high esteem. With the exception of TND which is 'just ok' I consider all of Brosnan's outings to be garbage and his Bond is the worst by far. As for Craig... his movies are not Bond movies as far as I'm concerned, just pale Jason Bourne imitations. Only Spectre, which you seem to loath, has a semblance of a Bond film (although not a particularly good one).
I can pretty much recite the first eleven Bond movies by heart but I've only seen Brosnan and Craig's outings once in the theater - and that was enough!
Yeah. I didn't see Spectre until 2017. When I did, my impression was that it was just very bland and generic. As you said, there was nothing really interesting going on. I was also struck with the impression that I couldn't figure out where all of the money had gone. It didn't look nearly as expensive as it was. I have it rated pretty poorly, but I would still rather watch it than Diamonds Are Forever, The World Is Not Enough or A View To A Kill.

On the other hand, non-mi6/non-bond-forum ranking % respectively are 3.36%, 13.8%, 26.1%.
So I surmise that just over a quarter of people have Spectre in the top 9. Top 9 aside, MI6 members are biased towards the bottom (16-24th), and 'others' rank it in the middle (10-19th)

despite my problems with SP from a story, pacing, and character perspective, i dont think it's an awful movie.. when describing it to friends, i often say it's a very middle of the road Bond movie - there are some things i really like about it, and there are some things i really think are crap.. but overall, i can still sit, watch, and enjoy.. it's just not one i reach for as frequently as some of the others..
