    Thanks, It's sad to see GE so low when it saved the franchise.

    The one film that solidified the Bond formula more than any other, and it's fallen this low. You all should be ashamed of yourselves!

    Goldfinger: Bond does nothing for the majority of the film, gets captured multiple times, gets himself strapped to an atomic bomb. We praise this film.
    GoldenEye: Bond loses a friend at the beginning of the movie, then goes through a major emotional struggle when that same friend turns out to be the villain. He's only captured a couple times, fights his way through the enemy, and doesn't use that fancy new BMW he gets for anything more than one scene of the radar appearing. We want this one the f*ck out of there.

    Explain this.

    Althought neither are in my top-5, I agree that Goldfinger should go before Goldeneye.

    What do you mean? Dr. No is doing alright and From Russia with Love is absolutely killing it. Both of those films have done way more for Bond in my opinion that Goldfinger, as did Thunderball after it. In fact, I would rank Goldfinger down there with You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever now in a list of the best of the Connery era because as the years go on its shimmery gold surface appears more and more to be nothing but pyrite. It did great things for Bond and has some memorable scenes, but the series owes DN and FRWL before it and TB after it much more for its innovation, classic appeal and continued success.

    Just to prove how formative Goldfinger was, the post titles scene of Goldeneye uses the same Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger to try and reclaim some of that Bond iconography. Listen, I will admit that Goldfinger hasn't aged terribly well, and the middle is a bit slow, but the importance of that film upon the legacy of the James Bond film series cannot be understated. Goldfinger is original content, where as Goldeneye is a re-post...

    Agreed,and i've been saying this for years !!

    Nice to see people are actually realising this finally .
    People say GF established the series,which i dont believe it did per se,and compare this to GE,which people were saying would be a mistake and Bond should be left in the past etc.....


    GF should definately go before GE.

    If push comes to shove I won't hesitate to melt Goldfinger into a shimmering liquid. I like it fine, but putting off it's demise when it's as low as 3 or 4 is pointless.

    GoldenEye: Bond loses a friend at the beginning of the movie, then goes through a major emotional struggle when that same friend turns out to be the villain. He's only captured a couple times, fights his way through the enemy, and doesn't use that fancy new BMW he gets for anything more than one scene of the radar appearing. We want this one the f*ck out of there.

    Explain this.

    Just to prove how formative Goldfinger was, the post titles scene of Goldeneye uses the same Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger to try and reclaim some of that Bond iconography. Listen, I will admit that Goldfinger hasn't aged terribly well, and the middle is a bit slow, but the importance of that film upon the legacy of the James Bond film series cannot be understated. Goldfinger is original content, where as Goldeneye is a re-post...

    The DB5 is the only positive thing to come out of Goldfinger. And, how is GoldenEye a "re-post" and Goldfinger "original" if Goldfinger is based on the book, and GoldenEye is an original story?
