    Four of my top ten gone, I thought LTK would have been a shoe in for top ten status.

    I have seven choices remaining, after Licence to Kill has been taken down.

    Interesting to see that all Bond actors are represented in the final TOP10 of this contest.

    Don't understand the Bardem hate at all. Such a creepy, charismatic and memorable performance. His opening scene should be part of Bondian folklore.

    I actually like the 4 Craig villains..so totally different to each other ,fails ...

    1) Le Chiffre : brilliant card player and intelligent man,but is playing with other peoples money to finance Quantum/Spectre ,his desperation shows,he fails, and his own people realise he is a risk,we all know the result of that...

    2)Greene : The epitome of cool,with the lizard staring eyes,calmly ruthless who,once his plan unravels,shows how internally insane he actually was ,as the fury comes out and all control was lost.(VERY under-rated IMO)

    3)Silva : Ex MI6 ,apparantly hurt,wanting revenge on the woman who wronged him,who left him to rot,when in fact also he was obviously 'turned' by Spectre to become their agent and kill someone who Bond respected and 'loved' ...the perfect choice for them..Silva gets his revenge,and Bond is hurt once more..not to mention that MI6 is disgraced to the world as a weak spy agency.

    4)Blofeld: In the background,working the strings,decides to emerge from the shadows,maybe due to over-confidence and a dying need to show Bond that he is better than him and what he can do to his life...his over-confidence lets him down - for now.

    Tastes differ. Silva was too ridiculous for me, almost a clown. It just didn't fit the tone of the movie which took itself very seriously.
    Silva would have been perfect for the Brosnan era.
    In Skyfall I expected someone like LeChiffre or Trevelyan, believable and nuanced acting. Bardem just behaved like Elliot Carver, overacting galore.

    Anyway, I am alone with my opinion (here) and I don't mind.

    My guess:

    1 OHMSS
    2 FRWL
    3 CR
    the top 3 will be those, maybe in another order though

    4 SF
    at least this will finish 5th

    5 TSWLM
    6 GF
    the middle, could be reversed

    7 DN
    8 TLD
    9 GE
    10 TB
    those four will be next

    But Silva's eccentricity was born out of his tragic past. The same can certainly not be said of the likes of Carver, etc. When you bear this in mind, Bardem's performance is note perfect. Not many Bond villains are given such a rich back story.

    Oh a lot of the stalwarts didn't vote but we got GBF's cousin.

    No he is not my cousin :-) I guess These two or there folks have not influenced the result. I hope that at least....

    8 out of 10 for me. Only dropped the two Moore's - LALD and FYEO. Not surprised that the two I didn't vote for (TB and TSWLM) did get in - they're perennial fan favourites and probably deserve to be there - just not absolute favourites for me. I think the suspense was great for the films from 20th to 11th. Fun thread and poll!

    My Top 10 Status

    1.) MR
    2.) TLD
    3.) CR
    4.) LALD
    5.) FRWL
    6.) TSWLM
    7.) OHMSS
    8.) SF
    9.) TB
    10.) GE

    8 of my top 10 survive as well. Though I could see OP creeping into my top 10 very soon, which would be a third elim.

    And my prediction for the final outcome... In addition, I put a floor and ceiling for the lowest and highest I think each film might end up

    10.) GE (Lowest Possible: 10, Highest Possible: 8)
    9.) TB (Lowest Possible: 10, Highest Possible: 5)
    8.) SF (Lowest Possible: 10, Highest Possible: 4)
    7.) TLD (Lowest Possible: 10, Highest Possible: 6)
    6.) DN (Lowest Possible: 8, Highest Possible: 4)
    5.) TSWLM (Lowest Possible: 9, Highest Possible: 3)
    4.) GF (Lowest Possible: 5, Highest Possible: 1)
    3.) FRWL (Lowest Possible: 4, Highest Possible: 1)
    2.) OHMSS (Lowest Possible: 3, Highest Possible: 1)
    1.) CR (Lowest Possible: 3, Highest Possible: 1)

    Lots of variation here, so I expect some surprising results!

    A shame we're going to lose either TB or TLD next. This is rigged!

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 , LTK is already gone (#11). You're probably right, TB is most likely next to go (it currently holds the 8 spot for me, so 10 isn't too far off).

    My Top 7 are still alive.

    Oy, sorry, I meant TLD. With only two Daltons, it's easy to type one when you mean the other.

    I think that looks about right, other than TSWLM will probably go quite bit earlier

    Shame about LTK, deserved to be least ahead of GE! Oh, those rose tinted glasses!!
    Top three above look about right, the way this game is going the rest could be anywhere. It would be nice to gave a few more surprises! Delighted to see Sp do so well, after all the backlash!
