    I ranked them all - over a couple of weeks - recently on the Last Bond Movie You Watched thread - what I think of the films is broadly unchanged, if some of the comparative points have been re-thought, so the details are over there. Since then I have seen Dr No - Thunderball again, as well as Skyfall twice and The Living Daylights. My revised list (I wasn't going to rank Skyfall this early, but I know for certain where it goes for me - though that is not to say that won't change over time) is below. I will review Skyfall on the Last Bond Movie You watched thread when the Blu Ray comes out - as I prefer it to match the retrospective approach I took with the the others. The big winners are Dr No overtaking Goldfinger; Thunderball, which improves each time I see it, and Licence To Kill which, although I didn't rewatch since last month, I just can't get it or Dalton out of my head. It is just sad I can't quite see it with The Living Daylights; which I still find overrated. Big losers are Goldeneye and TWINE - Skyfall and LTK are just killing my affection for Brosnan, even though I stand by most of the positive things I said about him. It is clear to me that whilst I like the 'formula' it does tend to be the atypical ones that stand out for me. I see this more as a slight rethink of the original list, rather than a do-over: as I'd need to watch them all again, and be fairer to poor Roger - whose films were starting to seriously pain me by the end of their run. The top-5 is on a higher plane for me than 6 and below (or maybe the top-6, I adored Dr No last couple of times).

    21 AVTAK
    22. DAD (sadly...)
    BOMB non EON Never say Never I wouldn't mention it but Connery is Bond
  • Interesting to see Skyfall rank so high....I am not going to consider adding Skyfall to my rankings until the DVD comes out, just out of fairness and so I can properly assess it. It's easy to be swept up in the whole "new Bond" craze...I remember coming out of DAD saying it was the best Bond ever :-O

    But it excites me to see SF rank high upon initial viewings
  • I wasn't sure if I wanted it in my top 5 or not but in the end I decided it deserved it.

    Actually, one of our moderators here ranks LTK as the worst.

    Well I have LTK just above DAD & MR in the 20th position and I don't have GF even in the top ten. I got it in 16th position…
  • This seems like a good place for my first post. Haven't yet seen Skyfall, because it hasn't come out in Australia. I realise my list may be quite different to the average one on here, so please don't jump down my throat too much.

    I let you in on a few things:

    - I think that GF is the most overrated Bondmovie ever, without it being horrible though.

    - Opinions are a beautiful thing.

    - I also like LTK, but I don't expect everyone to rate it as high as I do.

    I hope you don't destroy our beautiful website now.
