    It has been more than seven hours since your latest ranking. Hope everything is all right, @ToTheRight . Dvd player broke down?

    Ha Ha!! It's become a habit to re-rank nearly every time I pop in a Bond. I figure if we're not getting regularly scheduled Bond films in the Craig era, the least I could do is post a new ranking every week.

    Why not, always interesting to see.

    Mu current ranking of the Craig era, which I haven't got to yet with my current yearly Bond marathon. But things hardly change that much in 6 months or so.

    1) CR
    2)SP, don't get the hate it receives
    3) QoS , not over or underrated
    4) SF , way too overrated.

    As of the ones I've watched this year

    1)GF
    2)DN
    3)YOLT
    4) LALD (Moore makes this one better than the rest on my list)
    5)TB
    4) FRWL
    6) DAF
    7) OHMSS ( this time I had a bit of a hard time sit this one through, because I wanted to see more Connery, hence DAF being higher on my list, or the first one with Moore. I kept thinking ; can't this be over yet)

    For the record, I don't think FRWL or OHMSS are bad films in any way. DR.NO and Goldfinger have always been two of my favorite Bond films of the first three Connery films.

    I'm with you regarding SP! The hatred for it is growing here! Yes the final section is a mess but there is so much to enjoy earlier, much more than SF which has some good scenes but fewer than SP imho.
    Can't agree with you on OHMSS though! Has never gone down in any way for me over the years.
    The finest Bond movie of them all!
    Until the dreaded DAD appeared I would have had DAF near the bottom. I can take it or leave it now but it comes nowhere near OHMSS excellence!

    OHMSS is unbeatable. At least so far.

    I’m going to try to watch SP and SF today - in that order. I vastly prefer SF personally, but I’m hopeful SP can leave a better impression than it did last time.

    1. From Russia with Love (still first, but only just)
    2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service/Thunderball (shares the second place, as I can't place one above or under the other)

    4. For Your Eyes Only (very enjoyable experience the last time, and I can't wait to see it again)
    5. The Spy Who Loved Me (only just below FYEO, but the last viewing of the latter makes the difference)
    6. Dr. No
    7. Goldfinger
    8. Live and Let Die
    9. Octopussy
    10. The Living Daylights

    *4th-10th change places with every viewing. Usually all are top 10 with every viewing.

    11. Casino Royale (!)
    12. Licence to Kill
    13. Goldeneye
    14. The Man with the Golden Gun
    15. Quantum of Solace
    16. Diamonds Are Forever
    17. You Only Live Twice
    18. A View to a Kill
    19. The World Is Not Enough

    *11th-19th are the most difficult ones. CR often in top 10, but not the last time, unfortunately.

    20. Moonraker
    21. Tomorrow Never Dies
    22. Skyfall
    23. Die Another Day
    24. Spectre

    *20th-24th are the ones that I watch the least, and they fail to climb the rankings. Didn't include CR 54, CR67 or Never Say Never Again in this list - a list that surprised even me, but there you go.

    Someone else with FYEO in 4th, and a countryman no less.

    FYEO is a darn good Bond film. It goes in and out of my Top 10, which means it’s great.

    I can forgive it's silly moments in that Melina Havelock is serious enough for both herself and Bond combined. It works, if you ask me.

    Edit: Forgot the (Simple list, no details) bit, but I hope I can be forgiven for some quick notes.

    I believe FYEO is very popular in Norway for some reason. Same with Cec Linder as Leiter. One of those cultural quirks, and I am guilty of both.

    Don't know why but if OHMSS is my Christmas Bond of choice, FYEO is my Easter film! Plan on watching it tommorow or Easter Monday!

    I think that he placed Thunderball in a tie for third. Whenever someone ranks two films equally, I always place in the order in which they were named in my cumulative ranking sheet. That may be a bit of a liberty on my part, but I think that it is the best way to do it.

    I have updated the cumulative ranking and added the ranking from @Torgeirtrap, who I did not have a ranking from yet. I also went back the other day and double checked to make sure that I had gotten everyone who has posted a ranking since the release of Spectre and I added a ranking for a user who I had accidently missed somehow.

    I think I’ll leave SP at 20 after the rewatch. It improved a bit, but I’d say it’s only tied with my #19 at best (TWINE). Still, a weaker Bond film is better entertainment than most other stuff out there!

    Watching Spectre, (which I have admittedly only seen once) I found myself a bit puzzled as to where all of the money went. It didn't feel to me like a film with anywhere near the budget that it actually had.

    And the score especially towards the end sounds like a TV show

    I don't like the opening credits theme in Spectre much either.

    The comic book adaption of FYEO was the first in Norwegian too, I think? Bought a used copy some years ago. Also, Moore would have been a popular figure here by then, with The Saint and The Persuaders. Haven't been aware of the Cec Linder popularity, though.

    FYEO is a summer film for me, but those Cortina scenes do have a Easter like "quality". :)

    Feels a bit like cheating, I have to admit, but can't find a reason to rank one over the other. Might follow this way of placing them next time around, if OHMSS and TB (or other films for that matter) rank the same.

    One of my issues with SP, as well. Don't know if it's the sets, locations, cinematography or other elements, but I don't feel they made the most of it.

    SP is sort of like a prototypical Bond film tailored for the Craig era. In some ways it’s neat, but can often feel a bit awkward.

    Surely the perfect Easter Bond film is Octopussy? Eggs anyone?

    I quite agree. None of the locations feel real, even though some of them may have been real. They have the distinct veneer and stench of CGI enhancement, the likes of which we normally see in Marvel outings. I can more readily forgive it there because those films are supposed to be set in fantastical environments. It's less palatable for me in a Bond film, mainly because this franchise has set the standard in transporting us to 'actual' foreign lands and immersing us completely in them for multi-decades.

    Haha. Nice one! I dunno. I didn't get to see FYEO in the cinema and I think my first viewing was at Easter or some such. When I bought the set on blu-ray, it was again Easter when I watched it. So ever since...
