    It's quite surprising to see LALD so low on our lists....

    I'm not surprised. LALD is weak compared to most of the other first entries. Moore's era improved though.

    Surprised this thread has been resuscitated. It's also surprising to re-read both @Gustuv_Graves and @TheWizardOfIce's brilliant observations and understanding of the entire franchise over the course of just a few posts. I was immediately taken aback by how succinct and on the nose @TheWizardOfIce's exploration of all the actor's first Bond movies was, and it's worth repeating for those that skipped it. This particular member misses @TheWizardOfIce and his observations dearly and hope he's invited back into the fold again...

    DN - Classic 60's Bond, with the character still very close to Fleming's vision and a perfect performance by Connery. It actually gets better with age and looks ridiculously luscious on BluRay. Probably not quite in my personal top 10 but it really should be.

    OHMSS - Not much to be said here. Simply the bollocks. If it's not in your top 5 then you don't really know what you are talking about.

    TLD - First act is as perfect a realisation of Fleming as we've ever seen (save the pipeline scene), fantastic action and a superb performance by Dalton all add up to another locked in top 10 entry, probably top 5.

    GE - Bond was back!!! Not much Fleming but for an interpretation of the cinematic Bond it pretty much hits it out of the park. The odd cliche notwithstanding it ticks every box that was required to save the series and the PTS and tank chase instantly go down as two of the best action sequences of the series. Another top 10 for all but the most fundamentalist Brozza haters.

    CR - See OHMSS above.

    Is it any wonder then that a film featuring a far from his suave TSWLM-MR-FYEO-OP peak Rog, a rather dull villain caper, JW Pepper, Mrs Bell and an embarrassing rubber doll blowing up at the climax ranks below all the above?

    It's not really that LALD is that bad (although it's certainly bottom half) it's just that all the other first films are so good.
