It has to be LTK for me, LD, FYO, ATVAK and OC (Bond as a Clown? NOOOOOOOOO). "Mr Bond, I could buy you a Delicattesen.....In stainless steele!!!"

    The Living Daylights would be my favorite of the Glen lot, Daltons introduction etc, a damn fine James Bond outing

    The Living Daylights followed closely by Licence to Kill.

    TLD/LTK- I like them both for different reasons. Two fantastic films
    FYEO-Great performance from Moore. Exciting action, good direction
    OP-Lots of fun to watch, good action
    AVTAK-Although enjoyable at some points, the direction seems flat compared to Glen's other films and watching Grandpa Bond go around is just pathetic at points

    The Living Daylights is Glen's best. But I think a lot of the high points of the film are not by his doing: a surprisingly effective twisty plot written by Maibaum and Wilson and strong performances from Dalton and d'Abo stand out. As a matter of fact, the only thing I really could do without in The Living Daylights is the cello case chase...which was Glen's idea if I recall.

    The list goes:

    1. The Living Daylights
    2. Licence To Kill (LTK is number 2 as an all around film...but LTK is one of the least stylish Bond films ever and that is Glen's fault)
    3. Octopussy
    4. For Your Eyes Only
    5. A View to a Kill

    This is easy. I rank the Glen films. Everyone here notice how Glen's films always have a classic "animal" scare scene? His trademark.

    John Glen is often unfairly bashed by some Bond fans I feel. His work on the Bond series starting on OHMSS is what started my interest in Bond. I never thought Cubby was a fool, and he obviously hired Glen to direct five Bonds for a reason. Like many of the directors before him, he really understood what made a good Bond film. And in most cases, gave us some wonderful Bond moments to enjoy time and time again.
    As far as favourites go, for me it would be ;

    1. OP
    2. TLD
    3. LTK
    4. FYEO
    5. AVTAK

    Living Daylights for sure. It's his own favourite as well. His worst was obviously View to A Kill.

    Licence To Kill
    Octopussy
    The Living Daylights
    For Your Eyes Only
    A View To A Kill

    I really do love the first four of Glen's films but A View To A Kill on the other hand is one of the weakest in the series.

    Definitely The Living Daylights, followed by License To Kill.

    The Living Daylights
    License To Kill
    Octopussy
    For Your Eyes Only (I thought the action scenes were used as padding)
    A View To A Kill (pedestrian)

    Good to see everybody's different opinions, I know LTK has its detractors but its at least original in the canon of films.I attended The John Barry memorial concert and heard Tim recite a written piece that John loved. Always will be my fave Bond. I hope EON get him onboard for some commentaries when they no doubt relaunch the blu rays next year. Thanks for the input, Very intelligent postings here on MI6.

    Nice to read OP getting some love. It's my #002 for this decade. And probably Glen's most crowd-pleasing Bond film.

    A View to a Kill is getting...uh, killed in the poll. Can't say I'm surprised- but not even one vote?
