  • Jaws. He’s the only henchman who proves to be truly indestructible.
  • The greatest Bond soundtrack there ever was and ever will be.
  • @Dwayne Yes, I have a huge wishlist myself just so I remember everything I want in due time, but there are always several titles I will prioritize. The Big Heat is an awesome film, and I was pretty surprised by just how intense and dark it was fo…
  • @LeonardPine Pretty nice ranking there, I enjoyed reading through it very much!

  • Henry Cavill might be good for a trilogy or maybe 4, but I'd rather it be someone younger that can do it for longer, as long as they're the right person for the job. No Timothée Chalamet or Tom Holland, please. Bond should be particularly masculine-…
  • To date, this is still my favorite Bond tribute video I've ever seen, though it doesn't include SP or NTTD.
  • As amusing as it would have been, I'm glad they didn't go back to Danny Boyle. Other than the Russian villiain(s) / modern Cold War aspects, I did not like what I read about his alleged ideas for a Bond movie. Personally I think we dodged a bullet w…
  • I'd love November 2027 to happen, and I do think it could, but I'm definitely more expecting 2028. I hope we see a return to standalone films, or they have a better plan with continuity than what happened with Craig and SP's retconning. I could be w…
  • @GoldenGun Thank you very much! It’s the differences we have as fans that make it interesting rather than the similarities. I felt pretty good about almost all the positions on this ranking as I thought about it a lot, though I would say YOLT and OP…
  • 1. Casino Royale No surprises here. CR is still my favorite Bond film, and I'm not expecting that to change anytime soon. Daniel Craig is extraordinary in it, and Vesper is a close second to Tracy as a Bond girl. The action is the best the series h…

  • Personally, the choice of Denis Villeneuve doesn't make me feel particularly optimistic or pessimistic. I just don't know if I really love the idea of big-name directors consistently getting the gig now. From what I've seen he's obviously talented, …

  • @GoldenGun Excellent writeups! We disagree on a lot of things, but it's nice to read a different perspective about some things and still see some common ground at the same time.
  • Since I see it often complained about, I might as well add on here that I love the sinking house sequence in CR. "Fall of a House in Venice" is one of my favorite tracks, I find the action really awesome - particularly the electrocution and nail gun…
  • 1. Sean Connery 2. Daniel Craig 3. George Lazenby 4. Timothy Dalton 5. Roger Moore 6. Pierce Brosnan

  • Same rules as I did on the henchmen thread - one "main" one per movie, and Jack Wade represents GE and TND. 1. Ali Kerim Bey 2. Milos Columbo 3. Valentin Zukovsky 4. Quarrel 5. Tiger Tanaka 6. Felix Leiter (Casino Royale) 7. René Mathis 8.…

  • Though it's somewhat subjective at times, I'm going to pick just one "main" henchperson from each film, with the exceptions of Wint & Kidd for DAF and Jaws representing both TSWLM and MR. 1. Oddjob 2. Donald "Red" Grant 3. Jaws 4. Irma Bun…
  • @GoldenGun I would say that I at least find some things to enjoy in all of them, but collectively speaking, my Bottom 5 definitely lean negative. MR is in a really weird spot in the sense that it's hard for me to have an overall negative view of …
  • @GoldenGun It's not a popular opinion, but I'm glad there's at least a couple of us! I really love its uniqueness within the series and earnestly do enjoy it a lot. This is a particularly tough list to make because I really like most of the scores, …
