I think it's there for nostalgia value, although if that was the true reason The Spy Who Loved Me would also be higher. I do like almost every aspect of Goldeneye including Eric Serra's score. If anything I think it's weak point is Brosnan's portrayal, IMO.
Well we agree on Brossa! I find GE quite dull, and it has a lot of very annoying characters..,Boris, Jack Wade and even Onatopp irks me (Always thought her a poor man's Fatima Blush...Barbara Carrera did it far better!). Sorry, but I find Serras score dreadful!

You and I share the same top 3!
Can I ask why you have FYEO so low?
Those are the three films that get me invested time and time again. Always been a big defender of the two 'underrated' Bonds.
Anyway, concerning FYEO, it definitely also comes down to liking other entries more, but the problem I've got with it is that it is a bit unremarkable. I'm sure some films have lower lows but they also have higher highs.
Fair enough! Feel FYEO probably deserves re-appraisal. Don't think it tops anyone list? (I could be wrong!) I like a lot of it, and Rog looks great in it! It's one of those Bonds, where as our friend Birdleson might say, if there were some necessary cuts, it may improve a lot (lose the cringey Bibi in Bonds bed, the submersible attack, trim the lead up to the ski chase, the Margaret Thatcher epilogue!) And it would be an improvement!
Yes to your comment on th ed top 3, they provide everything for my Bond fix!

I flip flop back and forth between SF and CR. Next week no doubt CR will back back in that spot. Or thereabouts.
GE, on the other hand suffered a bit from my last re-watch. Perhaps it was my mood, but the pacing seemed slow. TWINE, I had a blast with last time.
LOL. I was tempted to put SP in last place. Very tempted. However, considering that NTTD brings back characters and continues the story arc from SP, placing the most recent film dead last may lesson my anticipation for the upcoming epic.
Therefore, DAD is my fall guy for last place.
GF remains in my number 1 spot standing proud and tall.

That's the most eclectic list I've seen so far!!
FRWL beside DAD, how far apart are they as Bond films for the usual members list! I commend your individualess....if not your taste!!
Not a fan of Craig then.... :-S
Can I ask, did you come into the Bond world with GE? As you seem to be a big fan of his films!
It's always nice to see a fan talk so passionately about their favourite Bond film.
That's whats so cool about Bond fans. We all have our individual favourites and the stories behind why they are.
Absolutely! And we should never be swayed!
Connery was first for me, but Daltons my man! Love what Daniel Craig has done for Bond, and will really miss him, but Dalton IS James Bond for me, always will

Bless your heart!
Nice to see a ranking so personalized. I always get bored reading the usual list that looks like it was put together using Rotten Tomato scores. It's also nice to see another Brosnan fan, these forums are very anti-Brosnan. I'm afraid that the corruption in this current government cannot be tolerated... we must overthrow this anti-Brosnan regime.
What about NSNA and LTK? Haven t you seen those? Top and bottom is the same for me.
Ha I forgot about LTK...I will adjust my list. NSNA was actually the first Bond movie I saw back when I was 8...I have never really cared for it.
Nice list btw.
Thanks! Yes I once had an account (Drax) at Bond and Beyond...but I think it's been discontinued. I was George Lazenby at the old Mi6 forum too.
Thanks mate :)
I'd love to see that double bill, as I also happen to love TMWTGG, hence the nickname ;)
OHMSS and TMWTGG, quite a strange combination, although, if one takes away JW's nosedive and the slide whistle, TMWTGG is not as comical as many would believe.
