  • Die Another Day Ugh. You want to find redeeming qualities in it, and just as soon as one presents itself to you, something awful pops up to make you forget about it. This may be the most back-and-forth Bond movie of the entire series. It's a c…
  • The Spy Who Loved Me I needed a re-watch of TSWLM after having mixed-to-low feelings about it the last time around. Truthfully, I've never felt overly against or with TSWLM since it was one of the last Bond movies I ever watched for the first tim…

  • AVTAK's strengths lay mostly within its characters, I've always thought. Clearly, the movie isn't going to offer anything in its locations or action sequences, save for the finale, so that leaves the characters to pull the load. Frankly, I think the…
  • License to Kill A top notch Bond adventure every time. LTK is loaded with so many 00-worthy aspects from its memorable characters and their quotable dialogue to its near perfect action sequences and moody score. Add in a chilly, to-the-point perf…
  • Perhaps the tank chase scene in GoldenEye? I recall Bond running over and blowing up multiple police vehicles, not to mention wrecking a ton of buildings in St. Petersburg.

  • The World is not Enough TWINE, as a Brosnan Bond, automatically has my respect and my appreciation. However, unlike its two predecessors GE and TND, it doesn't get the job done for me every time. Whereas GE had dark undertones and a first class c…

  • @DarthDimi: It's funny, I think my love for DAF has partially come out of the fact that it is so far opposite what it should have been. It's anti-OHMSS take enthralled me for the sheer reason that it didn't follow up on what has traditionally been m…
  • Dr. No What DN may lack in cinematic flash it makes up for in simplistic, gritty detective thrills that propel the low-key first into a more expansive and classic second half. Connery doesn't waste any time fitting into the role; he takes charge…

  • OHMSS will have to continue to prove itself to me before I can rank it anywhere remotely close to the Top Ten- right now it'll occupy a middle ground spot, but that's better than dead last. It served its time there for many years! @ThighsOfXenia:…
  • Glad the Bond world rectified itself for you, @DaltonCraig007! I couldn't imagine the disappointment I'd have if GoldenEye ever fell from my top spot even for a brief period of time! As for my most recent Bond viewing, be prepared for the shock o…
  • If a Roger Moore Bond movie were on the list for the next Bond game release, I'd be with you on The Spy Who Loved Me, @ChrisMC36SSR. It would be the easiest one to transform into a game setting, given its very accessible action sequences such as the…

  • Goldfinger All right, as most of you are aware, I have not exactly been known to be the most passionate GF fan. My disgust for both it and OHMSS have been the source of much controversy in my Bond opinions around these parts. However, as of today…

  • @DaltonCraig007: We have the same ranking except for the first two positions! Nice taste!

  • I think I'll join in the fun on this individual composer's soundtrack ranking: 1. GoldenEye 2. License to Kill 3. Live and Let Die 4. For Your Eyes Only 5. The Spy Who Loved Me 6. SkyFall 7. Dr. No
  • 1. Nightfire (GameCube) 2. Blood Stone (Xbox 360) 3. Everything or Nothing (GameCube) 4. GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (Playstation 2) 5. Quantum of Solace (Xbox 360) 6. From Russia with Love (GameCube) 7. Agent Under Fire (GameCube) 8. 007 Legends …
  • I suppose now we can include SkyFall in this list! 1. GoldenEye 2. SkyFall 3. Tomorrow Never Dies 4. Casino Royale 5. Quantum of Solace 6. The World is not Enough 7. Die Another Day
