I will only rank the title (or theme) songs, otherwise I would find it distorting. 1. You Only Live Twice Nancy Sinatra singing brilliant lyrics to a brilliant John Barry composition. What could go wrong? 2. Live and Let Die One of the few…

1. John Barry Every score that John Barry did is wonderful. Even The Man with the Golden Gun, of which Barry thought of as his weakest (which it probably is), is better than what almost every other film composer could come up with. His most extraor…

Guy Hamilton is the ultimate camp director. After Terence Young's incredibly stylish vibe of excitement, elegance and eroticism, Hamilton brought a completely different direction to James Bond: His films are loud, colourful and, most of all, funny. …

Brosnan is probably my least favourite James Bond, and for a long time I've given him a lot of the blame for that. But I've come to realize that he was at odds with that the producers wanted at the time. While it seems Brosnan was eager to portray …

1. 1960s The golden era. Connery's first four are all classics, a streak that will never be matched. Terence Young was the best Bond director ever. 2. 1980s More political, serious plots, reflecting the new conservatism of the decade. I like Jo…

Bond should go to Australia. Raymond Benson put him there (for a relatively short segment) in his first Bond book, one of Horak's comics made great use of Australia's outback. Australia would have so much to offer, and you may not even need Sydney!…

I want Martin Campbell back as director. He has said in the past that maybe he'd be ready to come back after Craig will have left. Campbell also tested Henry Cavill for the role for Casino Royale and remarked that Cavill may still have a shot at Bon…

Sean Connery: Dr. No George Lazenby: It's not like one has a choice Roger Moore: For Your Eyes Only Timothy Dalton: Licence to Kill (for the moment) Pierce Brosnan: GoldenEye Daniel Craig: Casino Royale

This movie is going to be terrible. I'm stating it here and I will be proven correctly. Daniel Craig will end up having been the longest-serving Bond and he will leave completely underused. He had so much potential! Casino Royale is great (despit…

I really want Martin Campbell to come back. I understand that, age-wise, it would have been a little like bringing John Glen back for Skyfall (which I wouldn't even have minded...), but, unlike Glen at the time, Campbell is still an active director,…

Which Bond movie is the "worst" is quite difficult to measure. What makes a Bond movie "bad"? The plot, the settings, the villains? The direction? Or the Bond actor himself? But there certainly are many Bond movies which are just plain awful picture…

How the hell do I delete a comment? Is that not possible? I didn't really mean to write one and now I need Q for help.

The song is rubbish, the "singer" is rubbish. The Bond world is about class, style, high society. It's not about a vulgar ghetto girl maltreating our ears and eyes with an unaesthetic lowlife appearance. I'm right about this, you know? If the times…

An adaption of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" with Sean Connery is the obvious choice, so I'm going with different suggestions: 1. A "Moonraker" in the 60s, starring Sean Connery, directed by Terence Young The novel "Moonraker" has that gre…

Norway seems interesting, since Bond has never been to Scandinavia in the movies. John Gardner took him to Lapland in "Icebreaker" and it proved to be a very special and unusual location. But I've always wondered why Australia was never thought …

Has anybody heard what John Glen said about the appointment of Cary Fukunaga?

Time to bring back John Glen!

I'm a fan of John Gardner. One of the best continuation authors. He didn't try to imitate Fleming, but his light prose and imaginative writing made (almost) every book enjoyable - and he further explored the world of secret agencies, gave it a new …

"Diamonds Are Forever" is the greatest Bond parody ever made. If you take DAF seriously, you´re lost. If you take it as a parody, it´s splendid. I´ve always loved it. Hamilton´s campiness so much more self-aware than Gilbert´s, who really made chil…

"Casino Royale" might be the best Bond movie since "From Russia with Love". Craig was outstanding in it. But overall, I am disappointed with his era so far. They didn't make enough use of him during his prime (shame about those endless MGM problem…

1. You Only Live Twice Nancy Sinatra singing brilliant lyrics to a brilliant John Barry composition. What could go wrong? 2. Live and Let Die One of the few Bond songs which are truly about James Bond; the frantic passages blending with the slo…

Well, I guess I will revive this thread after almost four years and add my ranking: 1. Kingsley Amis "Colonel Sun" is almost up there with Fleming's best. To this day, Amis is the novelist who came closest to capturing the spirit of Fleming'…

Craig shouldn´t get a "special" send-off. There were enough special and different elements during his tenure. But I´m sure they will come up with something pseudo-melodramatic, since that has been the signature of Craig´s movies ever since Mendes…

Pierce Brosnan is probably my least favorite Bond, but he was still underserved. "GoldenEye" was obviously his best (and only good) film, but his performance was his weakest. I´ve always felt that he gradually got better with each film while eve…

1. Sean Connery 2. Timothy Dalton 3. Roger Moore 4. Daniel Craig 5. George Lazenby 6. Pierce Brosnan

Here are my separated ranking of the novels and short story collections (not included is the novel "The Spy Who Loved Me", which is very good, but can't be compared to the others): 1. From Russia with Love 2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 3. …

I'll leave the films and their release dates as they are (for the most part!), because otherwise it becomes a whole different series and I find that confusing. Sean Connery 1962: Dr. No 1963: From Russia with Love 1964: Goldfinger 1965: Thu…

Danny Boyle is too leftist to direct James Bond. He stuffs every film he´s doing with boring political messages, even his Olympics opening ceremony.

Danny Boyle. Another one of those super-famous arty drama directors. But I wasn´t expecting anything else...
