It gets harder to list them every time I do it.

I love the top ten and at the very least like all of the others.

.

It's good to see you liked Quantum Of Solace. I'm surprised there hasn't been a QuantumOfSolaceNotBond.com site set up, given some other people's reactions to it. I don't get it. Sure, there was plenty of action but I thought as a kind of action finale to Casino Royale it worked quite well for what it was. Daniel Craig was great again too, and the film had more character than it's given credit for. And Gemma too of course.

Precisely. I like how we see the development of Bond through this story arc. In terms of other characters, there are a lot of different personalities. Dominic Greene is brilliantly slimey and displays a genuine amount of villainy - he's up there with Klebb and Kristatos. General Medrano was equally as cruel, but also weak, in a way, as his targets were generally women, which shows how weak he is mentallly. Fields, captured me in one of the TV spots. She was a fantastic throwback to 60s Bond girls. Witty, intelligent, classy, beautiful, sexy, and there basically as a toy. She had more to do than the likes of Jill Masterson and Sylvia Trench (even though they were great characters)/ I love her accent and her mentalities towards Bond, and the GF tribute was well done. Camille has been the best "Bond equal" since Wai Lin. They have been, IMO, the two genuine Bond equals in terms of sexual magnetism, espionage and action. They ably equip themselves with skill, and doing whatever means necessary to advance.

Pity Tomorrow Never Dies is low on your list. :(

It's not because I don't like it, it's just maybe a little bit a film of two halves for me but it's still great entertainment most of the way through. I'd probably say that films 12-19 on my list are just "great fun" Bond films, with the bottom three still fun but just maybe a bit flat or uninspired in places.
