If anyone had ever had trouble trying to rank all 24 films, this algorithm really helps. You're just prompted to select one out of two films you'd rather watch and that results in a ranking. The results of my ranking was super close to one I actually did myself awhile back, with maybe one film or two slightly shifted. The way I conducted this test was to actually pick the film I thought was better, as opposed to what I wanted to watch. Sometimes I want to watch DAF over other films, but that doesn't mean I think it's better than FRWL.


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

    Definitely doing this, thanks! Never done a ranking for myself as it’s always felt too daunting.

    Casino Royale
    GoldenEye
    From Russia with Love
    Skyfall
    Quantum of Solace
    Goldfinger
    Dr. No
    Licence to Kill
    For Your Eyes Only
    Spectre
    The Spy Who Loved Me
    The Living Daylights
    Live and Let Die
    Tomorrow Never Dies
    The Man with the Golden Gun

    You Only Live Twice
    Moonraker
    The World Is Not Enough
    A View to a Kill
    Diamonds Are Forever
    Octopussy

    I could live with this ranking but I might do it again tomorrow with a fresh mind. Many of the pairings were tougher than I thought they’d be. I voted by “which film do I enjoy more generally” rather than “which do I want to watch now” or “which do I think is objectively better”.
