For Your Eyes Only: Bond films, best to worst

A Listmania! list by Johnny75 (Gateshead, UK)
 
Diamonds Are Forever [DVD] [1971]
1.  Diamonds Are Forever [DVD] [1971] DVD ~ Sean Connery
The list author says:
  "It's a love-it or loathe-it Bond film but I'm definitely in the former camp - good locations, great dialogue, Charles Gray's suave Blofeld, a Bond girl with personality, and a memorable soundtrack."

Live and Let Die [DVD] [1973]
2.  Live and Let Die [DVD] [1973] DVD ~ Roger Moore
The list author says:
  "A great debut for the second best Bond - Sean Connery was a hard act to follow but Roger Moore did a fine job.  With the exception of Moonraker, I think the 70s Bond films were the best."
£9.85   Used & New from: £0.99

Goldfinger [DVD]
3.  Goldfinger [DVD] DVD ~ Sean Connery
The list author says:
  "Purists will tell you that this is the best Bond film, and I can see where they are coming from - Connery at his peak, unforgettable villains, classic score, etc."
Used & New from: £1.46

From Russia With Love [DVD]
4.  From Russia With Love [DVD] DVD ~ Sean Connery
The list author says:
  "If memory serves, this is Connery's favourite.  The highlight for me is the fight on the train between Bond and Grant."

Dr No [Special Edition] [DVD] [1962]
5.  Dr No [Special Edition] [DVD] [1962] DVD ~ Sean Connery
The list author says:
  "This had to be good if the makers were going to turn Bond into a series, and it was.  The movie must have seemed so fresh to cinemagoers at the time of release."
£7.99   Used & New from: £0.49

The Man With the Golden Gun [DVD]
6.  The Man With the Golden Gun [DVD] DVD ~ Roger Moore
The list author says:
  "I think this performed comparatively poorly at the box office, and it's often slagged off.  But this film has its good points - particularly the dialogue, locations, soundtrack and Scaramanga."
Used & New from: £0.46

The Spy Who Loved Me [DVD]
7.  The Spy Who Loved Me [DVD] DVD ~ Roger Moore
The list author says:
  "Moore's favourite of his Bond films.  For me, it was the last great entry in the series."

The Living Daylights [DVD] [1987]
8.  The Living Daylights [DVD] [1987] DVD ~ Timothy Dalton
The list author says:
  "Timothy Dalton's career as Bond got off to a solid start with this but the honeymoon period was very brief."

For Your Eyes Only [DVD]
9.  For Your Eyes Only [DVD] DVD ~ Roger Moore
The list author says:
  "This appears to have been made in reaction to the ludicrously over-the-top Moonraker - it's quite restrained for Bond.  It has some good set pieces, especially the rock climbing sequence."
Used & New from: £1.41

Thunderball [DVD] [1965]
10.  Thunderball [DVD] [1965] DVD ~ Sean Connery
The list author says:
  "The first mediocre Bond film of the series.  Claudine Auger was well fit, mind."

You Only Live Twice [DVD]
11.  You Only Live Twice [DVD] DVD ~ Sean Connery
The list author says:
  "Great title track, shame Robbie Williams couldn't leave it alone.  This film is let down by the sheer silliness of Connery getting disguised as a Japanese fisherman."

View to a Kill [DVD] [1985]
12.  View to a Kill [DVD] [1985] DVD ~ Roger Moore
The list author says:
  "Moore was well past his prime in this one and the film really doesn't have much going for it.  Christopher Walken is quite amusing as the villain but I'm not sure he was meant to be."

Moonraker [DVD]
13.  Moonraker [DVD] DVD ~ Roger Moore
The list author says:
  "A very cynical piece of film-making.  It tries to take advantage of the success of both The Spy Who Loved Me and Star Wars by setting the plot of the previous Bond film in space rather than the sea."
Used & New from: £0.54

Octopussy [DVD]
14.  Octopussy [DVD] DVD ~ John Glen (II)|Roger Moore|Maud Adams|Louis Jourdan
The list author says:
  "Substandard in pretty much every department.  All Time High is possibly the worst titles music in the series."

Goldeneye [Special Edition] [DVD] [1995]
15.  Goldeneye [Special Edition] [DVD] [1995] DVD ~ Pierce Brosnan
The list author says:
  "Pierce Brosnan was a decent Bond but he never really had good material to work with.  People often say this movie revived the series but I don't think it was particularly memorable."
£6.66   Used & New from: £0.23

On Her Majesty's Secret Service [DVD] [1969]
16.  On Her Majesty's Secret Service [DVD] [1969] DVD ~ George Lazenby
The list author says:
  "I can't imagine how disappointing this was for Bond fans when it came out.  George Lazenby is an easy target so I'll criticize the botched action sequences instead.  Good soundtrack though."

17.  Licence to Kill [DVD] [1989] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Timothy Dalton
The list author says:
  "Poor.  Bond didn't need the amount of seriousness that Dalton brought to the role.  I do like Bond films, you know, but making this list reminds me there are more bad ones than good."

20.  Die Another Day - Special Edition [DVD] [2002] DVD ~ Pierce Brosnan|Halle Berry|Rosamund Pike
The list author says:
  "The next Bond film has to be an improvement on this.  Some of the special effects are awful - especially when Bond surfs.  It's not Brosnan that needs replacing, it's the entire creative team."
