Ranking Every James Bond 007 Movie - Worst to Best 📈

[@oliverbayley3509]

Massive respect for appreciating Dalton's Bond.

[@ultra_marcus]

agreed, I was hoping Licence to kill would make the top half and got even more excited as I go to the end of the video. Dalton's two Bond movies are brilliant, I would have loved to have seen at least a 3rd.

[@largol33t12]

@@ultra_marcus I agree but HOW could A view to a kill rate higher than Never say never again? Despite casting Christopher Walken and Grace Jones, it was boring and cartoonish. One of the bottom 5 Bond films for sure.

[@bouya642]

@@largol33t12Never Say Never Again is pretty good imo. I know it's unofficial, but it's my guilty pleasure. Here is my bottom 5 Bond films 21. Moonraker 22. Diamonds Are Forever 23. The Man With The Golden Gun 24. No Time To Die 25. Spectre

[@memoryfoam2285]

Dalton is my favourite, I had a VHS tape of The Living Daylights growing up

[@samfisher2306]

Yes! He's the Bond unmistakeably described in the novels. In looks and character, even though Moore was my favorite.

[@stuartarmstrong5190]

Really pleased to see Licence to Kill at the top. For me it struck a really good balance between being dark and gritty but still fun and "Bondian". Dalton was seriously underrated.

[@purefoldnz3070]

License to Kill is more Miami Vice than Bond.

[@JackWse]

Outside of from Russia with love, license to kill is genuinely something special in the series... I think the only bond flick that gives it competition was maybe Skyfall.

[@torkelsvenson6411]

Come to think of it, License to Kill is one of the few movies where Bond actually does proper spy work by infiltrating the villain's organisation with the villain being completely unaware of it. All the other Bond movies I've seen the villain has always been aware of who he is and been a step ahead of him, here he's actually able to manipulate the villain into trusting him and have him turn on his own.

[@torkelsvenson6411]

I guess in Majesty's he does that too

[@sandr6769]

Tbh, License to Kill doesn't feel like a Bond movie, it's very dark and Bond is on his own mission. On Her Majesty's Secret Service somewhat does that, because Blofeld was suspecting something along the way. Octopussy being another - Bond had the edge on Kamaal's plans for a long time, especially handling the egg.

[@largol33t12]

Also, to prepare for the role, Timothy Dalton read a few of the books and based his performance on the Bond in those books. So ironically, he portrays Bond the way Ian Fleming would have wanted when critics blast him for not "sticking to the formula." I've read one of the books and the kind played by Roger Moore is VERY different from the one in the books.

[@007johnsnake]

Interesting ranking. =) What I love about the 007 franchise is that, unlike other movie franchises (whose rankings from most fans are usually predictable or even), you're not going to find equal 007 movie rankings most of the time. That speaks well of the variety that Bond's adventures have offered in terms of tone, story, character and dialogue. Therefore, the only way a non-fan can tell if he/she likes a James Bond movie or which films he/she should start with is not by randomly looking at a personal ranking of a 007 fan, but by seeing the movies for himself/herself.

[@SeamusGleason]

It’s so true. Hell, a buddy of mine had YOLT as his top pick.

[@bonghunezhou5051]

@@SeamusGleason She/he might have been heavily influenced by the Austin Powers films, which arguably were massively inspired by YOLT.

[@tomchris60]

What I love about these Bond film rankings is that it illustrates the adage "someone's garbage is someone else's treasure." Now no Bond movie is garbage, of course, but it is fascinating to see how one's personal taste is formulated by nostalgia, age, etc... And what I love most is that even if you disagree, there are so many points where you say: "Um, Dutch Fan is kinda right."

[@DutchBondFan]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[@hiddensword9387]

I can safely say ''Die Another Day'' is hot garbage. But like Dutch, I quite liked it up until the cuban health spa. They completely ruined what they had going.

[@BoycottChinaa]

1) Goldfinger 2) For Your Eyes Only 3)Moonraker 4) Golden Gun 5) Golden Eye 6) Thunderball because I was a kid and loved them in that order growing up.. my dad was in Thunderball as spear gun diver in the fight scene, so it gets on the list. Dalton movies were good too, bedankt 🍻

[@sharkeyr67]

Watching this right now, but had to pause as "Live and Let Die" at no 22 very nearly caused me put my foot through my brand new big screen tv, but thats the fun of it all I suppose. Quickly checked out a few comments and apparently you rank Dalton highly ... so you are partially forgiven on this occasion. I move on to no 21. Keep up th good work.

[@voldemortjones1054]

I appreciate the Dalton love! I've always thought that A View To A Kill would've been a great first film for him.

[@brianlitscher586]

I'm not sure I would rank License to Kill number 1 but I put both Dalton movies in top 10.

[@SharkWhosFondOfBond]

I'd prefer to have Dalton on For Your Eyes Only, since, even though A View To A Kill is the most violent Roger Moore Bond film, For Your Eyes Only is definitely the darkest and most suited to Timothy Dalton's Bond

Licence to Kill has become my favourite of the Bond films in recent years, but this definitely wasn't the case when I first saw it - in edited form! - on a long-haul flight in 1990.

[@hbombs]

Great to see that someone agrees that Licence to Kill is the best Bond film, wish there was more Dalton.

[@bryanalstoncoxing]

AVTAK was the first Bond movie I ever saw so I always rate it higher than most. It’s always a really fun watch despite the numerous issues. Zorin, Mayday and the score are all top notch

[@chrisgreulich]

I am a huge Roger Moore Bond fan and Connery is a very close second. My top 7: 1: The Spy Who Loved Me, 2: The Man with the Golden Gun, 3: Goldfinger, 4: You Only Live Twice, 5: Moonraker, 6: Live and Let Die, 7: Diamonds are Forever. I can't believe you put it last, but a lot people hate this film. My favorite non Moore, Connery film is The Living Daylights. Great film. I wish Dalton had made more Bonds.

[@saskruffriders8234]

A fellow Roger Moore fan? Love it! If we're talking BEST Bond movies, sadly the only Roger Moore movie in the top 5 would be The Spy Who Loved Me. Favorite Bond movie: The Man With The Golden Gun and A View To A Kill. Everybody's favorite Bond movies! lol

[@barsam2a]

nice to see have someone else have Live and let die so high, it's my fav Bond movie, would take too long to describe, why :D

[@venkatanarasaiahsankaraset8512]

For me Thunderball definitely ranks over Moonraker and Doctor No definitely in top 5 for being very realistic and suspenseful and with its novelty factor...yeah You Only Live Twice ranks higher due to its nostalgic 60s flavour and villian lair and it's awesome music

[@matthewganong1730]

Huge props for giving so much love to Licence to Kill! It was my first Bond movie and I still would put it somewhere in my top 3. Ironically, for being the first film in the series not to use a Fleming title, I think it’s the one that comes closest to capturing the feeling of reading a really good Fleming novel. I could imagine the whole story written out in Fleming’s style and you wouldn’t have to change anything except the time period.

[@tashrif46]

My man Jeroen, I have been following your channel since 2015-16 and what a long way you have come. So glad you are doing so well. Love the list and hopefully there is more to come. Your top 5 is the same mine just with Casino at 4, GoldenEye at 3 and Skyfall at 2.

[@robertmccauley754]

We have 6 of the same top 10 so I think we'd get along well as Bond fans. Basically we would just be fighting about OHMSS and TSWLM being too low on our respective lists. I love the courage of putting Licence to Kill at #1.

[@CaminoAir]

Thank you for all the time and work you put into this video. That's a great point you made about using that scene from 'Dr. No' as a screen test for any Bond actor candidate. Apart from 'OHMSS' and 'TWINE', I don't have any major differences with you in how I respond to these films. 'TWINE' has great concepts, but I can't emotionally engage with it for a few reasons. 'OHMSS' is a polarising film, just like 'Live And Let Die'. I treat the Craig films as an entirely separate sub-series and I think it might take another 10 years to be able to put those 5 films into better perspective with the main series of films.

[@LB1973]

That last part is true my list has two Craigs in the top 3 and 3 in the bottom 4 maybe time will push them towards the middle

Thanks for this I echo or concur 80% of your ranking And I really liked how you explained your findings by anticipating other ideas already Even where I was not with you (your number one was never liked by me while I am one of those who rank Lazenby/Rigg very high) you made me feel understood and respected by your comments.

[@stefanpp1155]

I disagree with a lot of the picks, but I always enjoy some bold choices and opinions! My rule of thumb is that a Bond movie can't be boring, hence I'd never diss "Diamonds are forever" but would put stuff like "Skyfall" at the bottom.

[@PhilMoskowitz]

"Skyfall" was a self-important bore. I only got halfway through it. It came out at a time with other garbage movies like "Star Trek: Into Darkness", "Prometheus" and "Interstellar".

[@MrLoaded2012]

I fully agree, I wouldn't go that far but "Skyfall" certainly takes itself way too seriously and that is definitely not what I expect from a 007 film (there are loads of other genres and directors for that), whereas "Diamonds Are Forever" is campy, fun and definitely captures some of the "modern" looks of many films in America in the early 70s, although what the video says about the cheap-looking effects is absolutely true! Great list and superb video, nonetheless.

[@plosis]

This ranking was delightful! Especially the top 3 😁

[@tashrif46]

7:11 I cant believe they fumbled a potential masterful revenge sequel twice. Both with Diamonds and with Quantum.

[@Bruh845]

I totally agree with these, however I think my top spot would’ve gone to Goldeneye. There’s something about that Cold War style, unforgiving yet classy 90s vibe that contrasts itself perfectly. It’s one of those ones you’d watch countless times on Saturday nights as a kid and would be glued to the tv. For me, Brosnan was the perfect bond.

[@DutchBondFan]

Great choice!

[@largol33t12]

Well, Licence to kill was definitely set during the height of the Cold War and also takes place in what was called Czechoslovakia.

[@jamesbond_and_friends]

This is a fantastic video. Great explanations for all the rankings. Excellent work, DutchBondFan :)

[@julieannfaehealing]

Well done Jeroen 💭🙂. I like the Timothy Dalton ones too

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

I agree. *"Diamonds Are Forever"* should've been a dark, revenge thriller with 007 going after Blofeld & (re-casted) Irma Bunt for assassinating his wife Tracy after their wedding. That would make a great "What-If?" video in the future.

[@largol33t12]

At least he finally killed him in "For your eyes only." I enjoyed seeing Blofeld screaming and begging for mercy when Bond lifted him off the ground with his wheelchair. It was hilarious hearing him scream "Mr. Boooooooond" as he fell to his death.

[@DanTheMan2150AD]

Some really all over the place opinions here. But glad to see what was number one.

[@largol33t12]

It's nice to see someone else giving Timothy Dalton some kudos for his performance. I also consider For your eyes only among the 10 best. What's your favorite Bond girl? I love Kara from The living daylights. She was the correct way to show a strong woman without being offensive. The purple haired weirdo in The Last Jedi was a terrible way of doing it. Kara just let her actions speak loudly. She didn't take crap from anyone but I suspect it's because she had been brutalized by the KGB. When she is released from interrogation late in the start of the movie, the look on her face and how she was clutching her trenchcoat suggested to me that she had been sexually molested by Koskov's thugs.

[@Germaniac77]

@@largol33t12A good Bond girl does not necessarily ned to be strong. For me it is a mixture of a.) what is her part in the plot / what does she bring to the story? b.) how is her chemistry with Bond / romance? b.) uniqueness. In germs of hotness and stroy-arc Domino needs to be mentioned. Aside from the fac that Claudine auger ws the hotest bond girl ever, her arc of being a mistress that later truns against her lover was so strong tha s was reused later in LTK. In terms of romance/chemistry Kara and Veesper are definitly up there as well. I would love to mention Anja Amasova for being strong and unique but she became useless and a damsel in the third act unfortunatley. Melina Havelock has a great storyarc and is very strong BUT the age difference with Roger´s Bond at that point ruins the romance/chemistry for me.

[@jamesphilipson1289]

Absolutely LOVE to see anyone put some respect on LTK but to see it get the number 1 spot is a special sort of joy in Bond fandom Absolutely love it! My order has changed a lot over the years but LTK has always remained a solid staple of my top 5. Severely underrated by many for some quite understandable reasons but for me it is just tremendous. The killer look in Bond's eye for the duration of the film really does it for me. I love the music, the time period, the bad guys, Bond going rogue. Some day I may figure out how to make my own ranking video

[@moose6509]

Excellent ranking and thanks so much for your hard work. I think there´s no doubt that we normally get a generational divide in these rankings. I´ve been with Bond since the beginning so naturally have a preference for Connery´s Bond. I like Goldeneye but it would only get a mid-ranking from me. Saying that my top 5 would be: 1) From Russia with Love 2) Casino Royale 3) Licence to Kill 4) Goldfinger 5) The Spy Who Loved Me and my bottom 5 would be 22) Diamonds are Forever 23) Spectre 24) Never Say Never Again 25) Quantum of Solace 26) No Time To Die (has to be bottom as I´ll never forgive them for killing off Bond. Easily the worst decision in the franchise history) Keep up the great work!

[@spaceace4387]

I totally agree, No Time To Die is the worst Bond film. That ending was the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Bond just gave up.

Well that had some surprises. Glad TSWLM was in the top ten. And no Bond fan worth his salt would've put Goldeneye outside of the top five. And I agree The Living Daylights is a hidden gem. I would rank it above Licence to Kill. But that's the beauty of making a list like this. It affirms what you like. Congratulations on getting through this mammoth task and sticking to your Guns. It was enjoyable as always.

My List of Top 7 Favorite James Bond Films are: 1. Licence to Kill 2. Casino Royale (2006) 3. Goldfinger 4. Skyfall 5. From Russia With Love 6. The Living Daylights 7. GoldenEye For me, Licence to Kill is my absolute favorite film of the James Bond Series and Timothy Dalton is the most underappreciated and best James Bond actor. Licence to Kill had impressive action sequences, Timothy Dalton gave a great performance as James Bond, and Robert Davi as Franz Sanchez was an awesome bond villain. I also love Casino Royale. Casino Royale was Daniel Craig's best bond film, Daniel Craig did a brilliant job as James Bond, and Eva Green as Vesper Lynd is my favorite bond girl.

[@DafyddBrooks]

Thanks for sharing your list Jeroen!! Mark O connel has said recently that "Theres 25 movies, so you can have a best and a favourite list" and Joe Darlington has said "there are no bad Bond movies". I love that from them because for me, theres a Bond movie for all occasions, weather its 'Diamonds are Forever (I like that movie actually haha ) or License to Kill (the most polarising for me). All the best chap :)

[@seansunley2311]

I saw some Bond films at the cinema earlier this year. Licence to Kill was amazing on the big screen!

[@MarcsCupofTea]

Probably my favourite ranking list of Bond films, well done. Glad you appreciate Dalton as he's my generation of bond and his 2 movies are so underrated. Licence to Kill has gone up in my books a lot lately and I was always a bigger fan of The Living Daylights but some of the villains do indeed fall flat, Brad Whittaker definitely and can't unsee one of the KGB Agents in Bratislava as being Jaffa from London's Burning 😂 Sanchez definitely works as a villain because he is absolutely vile and to me probably the most grounded out of all the Bond movies made. Honourable mention to Casino Royale, the one Craig Movie I can go back and watch again and again. Still trying to convince my dad to watch it who's not seen a Bond movie since Dalton but then we both share that Connery is by far the best Bond of the lot and that will never change ever!

[@Invinciblez18]

Great video. I appreciate the surprise element and not making the same cliched lists (for example having World is Not Enough and the Dalton films low down), I only really disagree with OHMSS and No Time to Die's positions

[@Pascalsmit1971]

Great ranking Jeroen! Well...here's another Dutch Bondfan. Born in1971, so I grew up with Roger. But that aside. I subscribed to your channel years ago. I watched and downloaded all your reviews. I like to watch them on TV while having dinner, I thinkI saw all of them at least five times! Been waiting for this 'Big One' for a long time and it didn't dissapoint me! For what it's worth: here's my personal top 26. I guess no two Bond fans on this planet have the exact same ranking. At first: I. Don't. Like. Craig. Nice guy in real life, but I just dislike the whole reboot idea. Yeah...I'm just a cranky old fart I guess! So: here it is. 26: Quantum Of Solace (Fell asleep watching. Luckily I watched it at home) 25: No Time To Die (No matter what: you just DON'T kill Bond. Period) 24: Spectre 23: On Her Majesty's Secret Service (Lazenby is a great guy but more wooden than Pinoccio) 22: Never Say Never Again 21: Die Another Day 20: Casino Royale (People will kill me for this. But I already said I despise the reboot thing) 19: Skyfall (Allright! Ready with Craig! Although watchable) 18: Thunderball (Drags, too far ahead of Bond and endless underwater scenes) 17: Dr. No (Classic, fun, but...that music....) 16: Diamonds Are Forever (Blofeld in drag, are you serious?!) 15: Live And Let Die (What's with the voodoo stuff...) 14: For Your Eyes Only (Lousy villain) 13: You Only Live Twice (Bored Connery and a ridiculous make over) 12: Tomorrow Never Dies 11: The World Is Not Enough 10: A View To A Kill (Roger is much too old in this one but great villains) 9: The Man With The Golden Gun (Christopher Lee. Nuff said) 8: Moonraker (Just fun, pure fun) 7: From Russia With Love (Slow but a classic spy thriller) 6: The Living Daylights (Weak villains but a great debut by Dalton) 5: Octopussy (Never get bored with this one) 4: Goldfinger (Connery's best although he's captive for most of the time) 3: The Spy Who Loved Me (Roger's Goldfinger, great story) 2: Goldeneye (The best set of villains ever, especially Xenia) 1: License To Kill (Best main villain, great story, perfect portrayal by Dalton) Very happy to see we share our top 2, but having seen all of your reviews: it didn't really come as a surprise. Thanks again for this great ranking and fun video! IMO you and Calvin Dyson are the most fun Bond reviewers. Looking out for the next viewing together with Lyrith! Greetz! :-)

Thanks for the link and video! I am from the Moore generation. For Your Eyes Only is my personal favorite. I think there’s a lot of nostalgia as my first experience in the early 80’s with the series. I consider some other movies better made such as Casino Royale, Goldfinger, and even Spy Who Loved Me. But there’s something about those sequences even without the best villains or Bond girls. I consider myself a Barry fan but still love the Bill Conti songs on the soundtrack.

Cool list! I agree with most of your picks. I have been waiting for the day OHMSS would slip back down the rankings again. My theory is it got popular again cos its close to Daniel Craig's Bond in terms of emotion (the tragedies of Vesper and Tracy). Dalton has had his renaissance and its great to see Brosnan starting to get his. Prediction: "Die Another Day" will be even higher in Bond fan rankings next time!

Great video Jerome. Goldeneye is my number 1. I totally get why you chose Licence To Kill as your favoaurite. I adore it too as it's so underrated.

You Only Live Twice is my all time favourite bond film overall with Connery being my favourite bond.

Thanks for finally doing this great ranking video! It shows in every minute that you clearly love the franchise. I may disagree with some takes (I'm ranking Roger's films higher), agree with others (I also love LTK) but I especially loved your explanation for YOLT. It created so many iconic moments/characters, and I consider it nearly as influental to the franchise as Goldfinger.
