How would you list them??

 

[shocktrooper_au]

I would consider myself a Bond fan,
but have not really watched one since the Roger Moore Days

 

[a-dev]

Hmmm. I haven't watched most of them recently enough to really be able to rank each and every one. However I would rate License to Kill much higher than you have it. Likewise The Living Daylights, Octopussy & A View to a Kill (childhood nostalgia) and TWINE for that matter.

Near or at the top though certainly Casino Royale (sorry Quentin Tarantino) and GoldenEye.

Must go back and watch some older ones.

 

[Wor-Gar]

"Goldfinger" in the "really good" category? You must be joking. "Goldeneye" is better? You must have been 13-17 when that came out.

You have a mostly correct list. But "Octopussy" is unwatchable for me. Bond in a monkey suit? And I fin "Diamonds" much more watchable than anything on your worst or bad list. "Quantum" would go on my bad list, teetering on awful.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Your OMG Awful list is right on the money, that is the trifecta of bad Bond. I would however put A View to a Kill dead last. I love Roger Moore, but it's so painful watching him in that one. At least Die Another Day has the gorgeous Rosamund Pike to drool over.

 

[SOLIDSNAKE]

as a kid I loved the old bond's

now is Daniel ALL THE WAY.

Casino royal is my favorite bond ever.
loved quantum of solace.


mega pumped for SKYFALL

Damn right baby!! I like Goldenfinger but have never been in love with it like so many others. I find the villian to be OK. Odd job is cool but the hat I always found to be silly. And I think ***** Galore is one of the Ugliest Bond woman ever. The action in the film is average IMO. But I like the plot and the look of the film. The score is fantastic also.

Well I was 24 when Goldeneye came out. And it is a great bond film. Bond is a Bad ass in that one. Great Villian with Sean Bean. Famke Janssen was great as Xenia Onatopp! Great tank chase, great hand to hand combat, great witty Bond remarks....What the hell is not to love?????? Well the plain dive was bad in the begining but everything else is great.


Diamonds are Forever was a Roger Moore Bond film staring Connery. He phoned it in with this film. The Humour was awful. The villians were silly. The action was boring (moon buggy chase anyone) the bond woman were goofy and unsexy. This is really when Bond started to become a a joke. I mean an elephant pulls a slot machine and wins.... that is BAD!!!!

I am not a fan of Octopussy but it at least has a few moments unlike the others on my worst list.

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

I've never understood the hate for AVTAK. I watched it last night on BD (which looks great, BTW) and I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Sure Roger's a bit long in the tooth, but even super spies age and that works if you place this towards the end of Bond's career.

On the other hand, Walken is beautifully over the top, Grace Jones is scary as hell, and the action sequences are excellent; not to mention the fantastic penultimate score from John Barry and the memorable Duran Duran title song.

Is it the greatest? No. But For me it's still solid entertainment. But then, I even enjoy DAF and MWTGG for what they are.

 

[Gully Foyle]

I'd swap Diamonds Are Forever with Never Say Never Again.

Diamonds is classic Bond. Connery's last good J.B. role.
And Jill St. John . . .

The Niven-Sellers-Allen Casino Royale from '67 kicks the Craig version's ass all over creation.

Daniel Craig is like cardboard. Stiff, dry, yawn-inducing cardboard.

It's not even Moore's age per say that bothers me, it's that the sparkle in the eye is gone if you know what I mean, and I've never been a fan of Walken. He's the only actor I can think of that started out as a parody of himself.

MWTGG however I will defend to the grave. How can anyone not like Christopher Lee with a solar powered death ray and midget henchman?

 

[Dark_Knight_89]

I haven't watched some of them in a long time, but I would say my top 10 is...

1. Casino Royale
2. From Russia With Love
3. Goldeneye
4. Goldfinger
5. The World Is Not Enough
6. Live and Let Die
7. The Spy Who Loved Me
8. Quantum of Solace
9. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
10. Tomorrow Never Dies

 

[Deckard]

My Top Ten I guess

Goldfinger
From Russia With Love
Dr. No
Thunderball
Goldeneye
You Only Live Twice
Casino Royale
The Living Daylights
The Spy Who Loved Me
License to Kill

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

So i'll list those which are my least favourite of the bunch.

From Russia With Love
The world is not enough
Die another day
Diamonds are forever

Those are my least favourite but for the most part i can still watch them.

My all time favourites must be: Goldfinger, Thunderball, Live and Let Die & Living Daylights

 

[ChaserFan]

4. The Man With the Golden Gun
5. A View to a Kill

[Dark_Knight_89]

Best: GoldenEye
Worst: Die Another Day

[Dr.Mirakle32]

My Definitive Top 5:
1. Live and Let Die
2. Goldfinger

4. Dr. No
5. Casino Royale (06)

Others I watch the most:
6. The Living Daylights
7. OHMSS
8. GoldenEye
9. The Spy Who Loved Me
10. Diamonds are Forever

After that, they get hard to rank since I genuinely enjoy aspects of all of them

agreed 100%

Obviously I have my favourites and least favourites, but even Die Another Day (my least favourite) is a movie that I will still happily sit and watch. I always find it funny when people say "I HATE this movie"... I just think 'hate' is such an overly strong word to describe someones feelings for a movie/art form.

 

[CelticPredator]

The OMG Worst list is perfect.

I'd take out License To Kill. That one was a fun violent Bond flick.

I'll list them when I get that Blu Ray set.
