    Thanks @Rossi ;-). Voter #82 you are.

    In case you like, the great Bill Koenig asked me to write an article about "Ranking" Bond films. I took the liberty in analizing some rankings from Entertainment Websites and Movie Critics Websites. I hope you like it. But again, as a rule, if outsiders do wish to vote, they need to become an active member of the MI6COMMUNITY-forums :-). Here it is:

    Interesting @BondJames...... If I'm not mistakes you weren't a big fan of SF initially. Did it move up in your ranking a bit?

    I have been critical of elements of SF, but I've always had it in my top ten since it came out. The highest that it's been is 6, but now I have it at 9. I think it will stay there for some time.

    1 pts TLD

    I think I put Spectre in the top three, only because I genuinely feel like I'm one of the few who actually enjoys Spectre as the OTT old fashioned adventure it is and rate it close to second in my CraigBond rankings and the freshness of the movie hasn't worn out yet. I tried to pick my favorite movies from each era. Sorry Brozza. You're still great.

    @SharkBait, I agree with your stance on SP. The only thing I'm conflicted about is if I'd give the second place spot in the Craig era to SP or QoS, behind CR obviously as the best. It's difficult for me to pick, as they both do different things well that I like, and feature Bond acting tortured in one but smooth and together in another.

    I'm also curious what gives YOLT the edge for you over some of the other entries in the Connery era, as it's a unique ranking from most I've seen.

    I am so fff-ing conflicted about the entire Craig era overall. Ranking Craig's films is so much more difficult for me than ranking Brosnan's entries. Recently rewatched "Skyfall" again, and I have to say it does slightly age better than "SPECTRE". But it's just....really really close. I'd say my ranking would be:

    1,05. "Skyfall"
    1,20. "Casino Royale"
    1,55. "SPECTRE"
    2,00. "Quantum Of Solace" :P

    I guess I like the OTT films more. Hence Goldfinger taking the top spot. Also GF was the first one I saw at the age of five. Never really got over it.

    I also had to think a minute which Dalton film to choose as I'm fan of LTK. I chose the one that was more traditional of the two.

    @Gustav_Graves, I'd love to talk QoS with you at some point, to see why you rate it last and why you don't find it a good entry. I admit I was surprised when I found out you rated it low because it seems to be right up your alley in what it offers, at least from what I know of you and your tastes.

    There's an appreciation thread I created for it here, if you'd like to discuss it sometime:

    http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/1117/quantum-of-solace-appreciation-thread/p47

    As for my ranking:

    1.) CR
    2.) SP
    3.) QoS
    4.) SF

    As I said, I flip-flop on SP and QoS often, and I would give up and tie them in most situations if I could. They're so different yet each so good I don't know how to pick between them. SF is last for me because overall I just find it to be the least interesting of all of the rest, when taken fully. I enjoy Bond's inner life and tortured nature in QoS more, for one, and I don't enjoy Silva as much as some others on here, and I think I like Greene better over him at this point. I still love Dan in it, the cinematography, the Tennyson scene (my all time favorite Bond moment) and a lot more, but I have to put it last at the moment. SP wins out over it of the Mendes two because, as I've said elsewhere before, it uses more interesting themes in my eyes and it's Mendes with his finger on the pulse at some of what was wrong with SF in many people's eyes, and in some ways my own, with an MI6 family more in the background, more visceral action and a stellar and iconic Bond performance from Dan in a film that let him show off how relaxed and Bondian he could be as a fully formed agent.

    But as it's known, I love all the Craig era films, it's just that one of them has to come at the bottom, and right now, that's SF. It's the only era at this point where I genuinely love each film, and that makes them a really special set for me, and that's also why you'll find all of them in my Top 10 ranking, for how cinematic and innovative they are to me inside the franchise itself.

    But I have QOS on 2nd place :-P. Look closer :P.

    In any case......I can easily switch a few of the Craig films. That fact alone makes the Craig-era for me so much more interesting. The nuances are sometimes too big to give QOS a 4th place stamp for life and CR a gold medal.

    @Gustav_Graves, I can definitely say the Craig films are my favorites to return to because I always leave them feeling more than just entertained afterward. As the credits roll I'm a little more enlightened about what makes Bond tick, and because he feels so human in these films, it's like revisiting a friend when I pop the discs in. The films also address relevant issues I find fascinating, and present true human drama and conflict in a way that I find satisfying, as the Bond franchise has always been good at.

    I'm glad you love this era as much as I do. I know a lot of people who like one or two Craig films max, but not many like me who adore them all, so it's great to have discussions with a person who feels the same way about them and their place in the franchise.
