I don't know how different this is from my last list. I had particularly enjoyable viewings of both Moonraker and From Russia with Love this week, but my top 13 is so beloved that there just isn't that much room for movement! This causes weirdness like having Skyfall down at number 17 (I'd say there's a pretty fair quality gap between the top 17 and the bottom 8)
But on the other hand, when I used the sorta app to do this, my finger hesitated quite a while when asked if I prefer DAF or OHMSS. Maybe I'll surprise myself next time....
While number 1 and 25 have me head scratching ( Though I do like SP!) That's a really interesting listing! Nice!
The most puzzling ranking I've ever seen. First I had to decipher which way up the list was and then the puzzlement really set in...
But it seems as if you have some respect for John Glen's work... which is highly apreciated by me!!
Great top 5! They’re all in my top 10 too.
Good to see some love for TMWTGG as well.
Courageous bottom 3, what don’t you like about them?
Yeah, the 70s and 80s are just my jam. As for Spectre, I gush about it a lot, but a big part is just the fact that it's more unashamedly a Bond film than anything since TLD. Blofeld, ejector seat, no apologies.
My bottom three, it's different things really. All of the action in CR (and most of the other scenes) could be dropped as-is, score and all, into another film, and nobody would think of James Bond. The only bits that are Bondian are the things that come directly from the novel, and those are wildly changed, right down to the meaning of "The bitch is dead", which is bravado in the film, and sincere in the book. Also, several plot points don't make a lot of sense to me, even if they work emotionally.
TSWLM I guess is just me. Nothing clicks when I watch it really. There's nothing in it that I don't feel Moonraker does better, and I think the tone is a bit confused. Even in 24th place, I wouldn't say I dislike it though. In fact, I hope to learn how to enjoy it as much as most fans do!
My problem with GE, I only recently realized, is that nothing about Alec Trevelyan works for me. His age is all wrong, his fake death is nonsensical, his relationship with Bond doesn't resemble anything we've ever seen in the series before or since. It's got some great moments though, and I even like the score more than most people.
Not to mention the fact that he talks like Derek Nimmo! 😁
- QOS overtakes OHMSS. For me, the rewatchability of QOS gives it the leg up. The overall look and cinematography is PERFECT for what I want a Bond film to look like. Also, pacing issues in the second act of Majesty’s and the wooden performance of Lazenby knock it down a few notches.
- TB gets downgraded a bit. As beautiful as the film is shot, there’s some long stretches where nothing happens. Spectre has a few more interesting moments and isn’t… um.. “rapey”.

Always a pleasure to see QOS in the top 10. It’s currently hovering around 6 or 7 for me.
