Yes but I mean in a GF way. It is the best of the era but people insist that it is overrated.
Sorry but this game has Mendes size holes in it lol.
JUST KIDDING. Having fun.
I think you misunderstand.
It is the island of LOST
Electricity and media equipment galore.
But beware of the supernatural beings, dropping airplanes, wormholes and...hell really :))

Ohhh excellent!!! Sign me up. I prefer Fantasy Island.
Very good to get back to actual bond movie rankings (the objective of this thread). I mean, 'the six movies you'd bring to your island' is nice, but it's time to go back one step.
While I never ranked it before I was thinking where I would put it.
Actually I find it about on the same level as my bottom three, TMWTGG, AVTAK or DAF.
Even if it probably comes last it's not really far away from the other movies.
What really "kills" it for me is the non-bondian stuff like the opening, the titles, no gun barrel, no other typical stuff.
But what saves it from being just a wanna-be Bond is the fabulous cast!
M and Q are just great with brilliant actors! And so is Blofeld, I even would call him my favourite.
And Fatima Blush! She would rank very high in a Bond villainess list!
The only weak link may be Kim Basinger. Her Domino is a bit dull, but then I also find the original Domino dull.
Brandauer is brilliant and he easily ranks among my favourite villains.
Overall the movie could have been so much better, but I guess there was a limited budget.
By the way, I am starting to get that same feeling of Boredom when I watch TLD. I find both of Dalton's films aren't terribly well paced and that slight cheapness about the sets/photography doesn't help.
Sorry if I may have asked this before, but do you keep a journal or something of your rankings so you see how it changes over time?
Agreed. There's something about the film that wastes away as it progresses, and it has something to do with boredom. There's just not that electric sense of enjoyment that you get in most of the other Bonds, which might have something to do with the dourness of Dalton's Bond as well as the cinematography.
Cold turkey, man.
Then we can be miserable, but be able to SAY we're free.
=))
DN: nice dots, so sixties, so classic
OHMSS: second best in the series
LALD: fits the music and the voodoo stuff but never cared for it much
TLD: A middle of the road effort, the music makes it better
GE: Top 5 definitely, I say 4th after AVTAK OHMSS SP.
CR: A bit too glossy still Top 10 easily.
It guess it may have been a difficult time for you from 1979 to 2006 as Bond fan if I look at that ranking with maybe only LTK and GE being a ray of hope?
Or have the "newer" movies from the 80s and 90s fallen in your rankings over time?
Also I understand now SP being so low.
Thanks @Birdleson!

I'm sure this will make a few members' blood boil, but I rather enjoy the oddball entry more than the regular favorites. I also rule out the longer outings from here, as a maximum of 2 hours is perfect for a double feature with another film. If it weren't for that than OHMSS and CR, SF and SP would be much higher. And altough Connery's outings are low, his performances as Bond would be in my top 10.
Aaahh, you love your double features @DaltonCraig007. Great list!! :-bd

Yeah, feels about right now. DAD just in #10, because it's the one I've been totally addicted lately, along TND. What a double feature that is, full of action from a badass Brosnan with Arnold shoving the Bond theme in the soundtrack as much as he can.
Brilliant, I love your lists, keep it up!! :)>-
