You say that as if that is a GOOD thing. Craig makes good movies, but a "Bond" he ain't.

14:21 The only thing I have any real problems with here is the mention that Lazenby wasn't really given the chance to continue as Bond, when it is pretty well documented he turned down the chance to continue even having been offered a multi-picture contract. My top ten, chosen without much thought: 1. Casino Royale 2. Goldfinger 3. The Spy Who loved Me 4. Skyfall 5. The Living Daylights 6. From Russia with Love 7. Tomorrow Never Dies 8. You Only Live Twice 9. For Your Eyes Only 10. Thunderball

[@ElectricIguana]

Wow, I can't believe Skyfall didn't crack the top 10. I'd almost swap it out for OHMSS except Goldfinger is my number 1.

[@mitchwoolnough3509]

No. 7 ?

[@High_Key]

Skyfall is #7 buddy

[@ElectricIguana]

@@mitchwoolnough3509 I must've blinked, thanks!

[@danielfonborries8353]

I always have felt that Moore was my overall fave with Connery being an almost tie. But Dalton and Goldeneye Brosnan are right up there.

[@lawrence1318]

Moore is the Elvis of the Bond franchise. He took it to superstardom.

[@CountOrlok22]

"Moonraker" is iconic, yes, but it's also a trashfire of a film. It's the film that kind of killer Roger Moore's run on the series.

[@Berni9925]

My Ranking is very similar, but No Time To Die is in my Top 3, and Octopussy is also in the Top 10. Timothy Dalton is very underrated, i like "The Living Daylights" and "Licence To Kill" so much. Nice to see you have also the 2 movies in the top 10

OHMSS is the Bond fan's Bond movie. Sort of like how a comedians comedian tells much more darker humor than most of the public is used to. The general public wouldn't really get why it's so good, but if you're a big fan of the series, you understand just how well crafted it is.

[@BetoElVago2588]

I totally agree with your top, I would only swap OHMSS & CR but apart from the I loved it!!

[@CoolXer0]

Nick the editor presents an interesting point: Every James Bond film is someone's favorite James Bond film.

Came faster than jo bloing his loads to watch the vid

[@joe15000000king]

Thank you for putting OMHSS as number one! Brilliant thinking, I'd also like to mention that there are three entries on this list by John Glen who is my favourite James Bond Director. Could we have a top 10 James Bond directors list?

[@Lbarrow22]

Love this series !! Bond rules !!

[@Terry.W]

My top 5 would be ..1.Goldfinger 2 Goldeneye 3 The Spy Who loved me 4 The Living daylights 5 O H M S

[@theroguerider]

I always enjoy seeing peoples favorite bond films, and your top three are close, but I put OHMSS and Casino in mine, but my fave is and has always been From Russia With Love. It’s Sean’s favorite as well. He’s my fave Bond and that’s my fave movie.
