Of course Sean Connery tops the list and Casino Royal was an excellent reboot, although part-2 "Quantum" was unfortunately a boring disappointment. Most of the ok/mediocre titles were from the Roger Moore era, then Timothy Dalton brought back a bit of refreshing toughness but it was short-lived. And with all due respect I simply did not like Pierce Brosnan as Bond, way too many sexual innuendo "jokes", a bit too girly version of the character and some cheesy chase scenes (rooftop motorcycle with handcuffed girl, etc.). Most of the Brosnan fans put Goldeneye on top but I hated it except for maybe Onatopp's thighs. The horrible CGI kite-surfing scene in Die Another Day was cringe-worthy, not his fault of course, more of a production faux-pas. Going back, Moonraker was pure cheese, one Jaws feature was enough and his "girlfriend" thing was just silly camp. A View to a Kill was scraping the bottom of the barrel (although I usually LOVE Christopher Walken, what a shame). Roger Moore stayed on at least one episode too long and seeing him in the sack with that stick insect was beyond nauseating. So onto the list:
GREAT:- From Russia with Love
- Thunderball
- Dr. No
- You Only Live Twice
- Casino Royale
- Goldfinger
PRETTY GOOD: - On Her Majesty's Secret Service
- Skyfall
- For Your Eyes Only
- The Living Daylights
- The Man with the Golden Gun
- Live and Let Die
- Never Say Never Again
NOT SO GOOD: - The Spy Who Loved Me
- Octopussy
- Licence to Kill
- The World Is Not Enough
- Tomorrow Never Dies
- GoldenEye
THE BOTTOM: - Die Another Day
- Diamonds Are Forever
- Moonraker
- Quantum of Solace
- A View to a Kill

I don't actively dislike any of the 007 films. Just some entertain me more than others. The lowest mark I'd give any of them is a 6/10. Not seen Skyfall yet. -

Just started rewatching the series. Haven't seen a lot of them before and not watching them in any particular order, so my current rankings are:
- A View To a Kill (best villain and soundtrack)
- Octopussy (best setting and superior action sequences)
- Dr. No (cool setting but fairly boring film)

Wow, this is a great blog. I have not seen the last Bond, shame on me, but Quantum of Solace sucked. However, all of the Craig Bond will be at the bottom for me anyway. It has more to do with the modern Bond film and how it's changed rather than the way Craig plays Bond. There used to be a lot of things Bond movies always had to make them Bond movies and I just don't see it anymore. The last pure Bond films for me, were the Dalton Bonds. However Pierce had some good moments.

17-24 are pretty much equally awful in my opinion, Never Say Never Again would also rank in that section, but it's not canon. 14-16 are really mediocre, but with significant redeeming qualities. 1-13 are good James Bond movies.
that'll be the day
