Only one Connery Bond in the top five? Very egalitarian I'm sure.

But 3 others in the top ten! Connery is still number 1. I actually like Brosnan as well, just not the films.

003) TSWLM
004) DAF
005) LALD

001) TLD
002) OP
003) LTK
004) NSNA
005) FYEO
006) AVTAK

002) GE
003) TWINE

2000s:

001) CR '06

What a great top 10! Despite the fact you've the same name as one of my least favourite politicians, you've convinced me.

Heil THUNDERBALL!

Yeah, Thunderball is pure quality. Also, about the name, I don't even know why I picked it. I usually go by Dr. Metz on other Bond forums. Really, I literally looked at the registration screen on this forum and just typed in his name for absolutely no reason. Could be worse though. I could have chosen DianeAbbott.

Or George Galloway. At any rate, a most worthy top 10 indeed.

Why are people excluding NSNA? This thread is entitled "Rank *ALL* the Bond Films". NSNA *IS* a legitimate Bond film. It's an awful Bond film, and one of the worst, but it's still entitled to all the rights and protections that all the other Bond films receive.

Is it really that big of a deal if they don't? You don't see people ranking Casino Royale '67 around here either, do you?

I don't consider Casino Royale '67 an honest attempt at a Bond film. It was parody. You COULD list it if you chose to, and I'd understand, but it isn't in the same vein as any of the other entries.

And I don't think NSNA is an honest attempt at a Bond film. I think that's a parody, hence why I didn't include it.

With respect to all, never considered ranking NSNA or CR'67. I guess I'm of that lot who thinks they're unofficial and not 'true' Bond films or some such rot. If I did, I suspect they'd be bottom floating around with QOS, DAD...and whatever else I got down there.

I've never even wasted my time watching NSNA nor CR67, and I don't intend to. If they're not real Bond films then I'm not interested.

Don't know what my old ranking was about but here we go.

1. From Russia With Love
2. Thunderball.
3. Dr No
4. The Living Daylights
5. Diamonds Are Forever
6. Goldfinger
7. Octopussy
8. Licence To Kill
9. Moonraker
10. You Only Live Twice
11. For Your Eyes Only
12. The Spy Who Loved Me
13. A View To A Kill
14. On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
15. Goldeneye
16. Die Another Day
17. The Man With The Golden Gun
18. Casino Royale
19. Live and Let Die
20. Tomorrow Never Dies
21. Never Say Never Again
22. Quantum of Solace
23. The World Is Not Enough

The reason Casino Royale is so low is because the romance, which is so fundamental to its story, falls flat. Die Another Day achieves what it was aiming for, a couple of bad production decisions aside (RoboCopSuit and the CGI surfing)

Though from no. 7 down they could really be tied until around 17 or even 18.

CR67 is a complete waste of time, but NSNA is worth at least one viewing--even if it's for humor's sake.

I found it to be an improvement over CR. Although to have a Bond film not be an improvement over CR is a feat of its own.

I found QOS to be an improvement over CR also.
