He’s next up for me. Considered myself a Bond fan, but the other day I saw a new Range Rover with plate numbers JB007, and then I realized I had work to do
I rewatched all the bond movies before No Time to Die and both Bond movies Dalton movies are WAY better then I remember. I haven't seen most of the bond movies since I was a kid and I remember loving all of them but had my favorites. Daltons movies I liked but never loved but now I think they're both in my top 5 now. I'd probably say Liscense to Kill is my second favorite bond movie now
It's nice to hear, people do seem to be coming around finally!! I absolutely loved Timothy Dalton's Bond when they came out, especially Licence to Kill, and could never understand the mixed reception. I just HATE though how cheery Felix Leiter is at the end of LTK... that has always pissed me off!!!
@@bev9708 Is that after his new bride (Della, I think, who flirts so hard with Bond in the earlier parts of the film!) has been brutally murdered and Felix himself has lost a leg to a crocodile or something? Yeah, me and my bro always used to notice how inappropriately happy he was at the end! Totally jarring lol.
@@ripmurdock6975 YES, his bride brutally murdered ON HIS WEDDING NIGHT, and lost a leg and a hand to a SHARK no less being tortured... remember THAT scene!!! At the time it was absolutely harrowing!!!
No it wasn’t just ‘good’ it was frickin the best Roger Moore Bond film I totally agree with Nick! Sorry, but YOU don’t know WTF your talking about - you should really start listening to Nick dumbass! Moonraker is the first Bond film i saw in the theatre as a 10 year old and it’s still my favourite Bond film 40 years later You really owe Nick a drink after disrespecting him like that!
@Phoenix 𝙾𝚙𝚎𝚗 𝙼𝚢 PROFILE As the Craig Era ends I became even more nostalgic for the Moore and Bronson Eras - back when Bond was actually ‘fun’ and you didn’t need a tranquilizer leaving the theatre - not EVERYTHING needs to be so serious and dire - I like Craig as an actor but… his Bond always was more Bourne than Bond in my opinion I want the real Bond back please!
Ahh yes! Since a kid, I've always had OHMSS as my number one and its never changed. From the gunbarrel, the score, locations, plot and EVEN George Lazenby, its just perfect to me. I've always felt Lazenby was perfectly cast as Bond as the story had to show a more vulnerable Bond and with his inexperience in acting, it was perfect! Not Top 10 but my Top 5 are: On Her Majesty's Secret Service Licence to Kill Casino Royale Goldfinger The Spy Who Loved Me Great video!
Bond is my favorite franchise. So excited for the new one. Mine is…. 1. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service 2. Casino Royale 3. The Spy Who Loved Me 4. Goldfinger 5. Goldeneye 6. Live and Let Die 7. From Russia with Love 8. Skyfall 9. Dr. No 10. License to Kill
I personally don’t think OHMSS would have been any better with Connery. Look at how bemused he was with the series in YOLT. In my opinion the more exciting proposition is George in a serious revenge story in DAF.
OHMSS is a really great movie. I really like the Dalton and Craig movies too. I mean, I like all of the Bond movies, I've just started on the novels (which are amazing even when they're hilariously stuffy and outdated), and Pierce Brosnan is my least favourite Bond. But George Lazenby was fantastic. I wish he'd done more Bond movies.
@@ThatSockmonkey i read only "dr.No" & "Live and let Die" and books are much, much better then movies BTW Roger Moore is my least favorite Bond but even so istill like to watch His Bonds
It’s Dalton for me (although Sean is best by default). I thought Dalton was perfect and way ahead of his time. Unfortunately replaced by my least-favorite Bond.
Blasphemy! Brosnan may be your least favorite Bond, but we can agree all 6 people to play Bond are good in the role in their own way? That's how I see it. Although, admittedly, I am biased being that James Bond is my favorite film franchise ever created.
As a Roger Moore fan, I think that Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby are very, very underrated. They both provided the blue - print for the Daniel Craig 007 . My rating of the Craig movies : 4 : Quantum of Solace 3 : Spectre 2 : Casino Royale 1 : Skyfall
You say that as if that is a GOOD thing. Craig makes good movies, but a "Bond" he ain't. It's "Bond tries too hard to be XXX meets Bourne" and forgetting what always made the Bond movies so watchable and entertaining. Instead the Craigs end up all so depressing and cool. and not the good kind of cool but the heartless and emotionally uninvested one.
1.) Golden Eye ( I'm a 90s kid but this is my fav) 2.) Goldfinger (To me the best James Bond movie of all time.) 3.) The Spy Who Loved Me (Roger is my fav James Bond) 4.) Casino Royale (Daniel Craig is just awesome moving up that list) 5.) The Living Daylights (That theme!) 6.) Skyfall 7.) Octopussy 8.) For Your Eyes Only 9.) Diamonds are Forever (I dont know why maybe nostalgia) 10.) Tomorrow Never Dies Honorable Mentions: Dr. No Moonraker License to Kill OHMSS Live and Let Die
@@CornishCreamtea07 the car chase scene around Vegas is pretty top notch for that time. I like the elevator fight and the Château Mouton Rothschild wine callback scene at the end….otherwise yes pretty bad lol.
Really happy to see On Her Magestys Secret Service get recognized. It has a lot of lore for the character of Bond and deserves more recognition. It is one of the few Bond movies to be mentioned, even if subtly, in other movies. Good show!
Wow, I was very surprised that both Daltons show up on this AND OHMSS as number 1? It's a bold choice but I completely agree with those movies being so high on the list. OHMSS is fantastic. It may not showcase best of the Bond tropes but it is different and shows the more human side of Bond which is closer to the books than the rest of the movies
It's always a good thing when Dalton is given credit for his role as James Bond. Well done. Here are my Top 10 Favorite Bond films 1. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 2. Licence to Kill 3. From Russia With Love 4. Casino Royale 5. Goldfinger 6. Skyfall 7. The Living Daylights 8. Goldeneye 9. The Spy Who Loved Me 10. Thunderball
Can't really argue with Majesty*. It's always so hard to pick my own lists... Bond has so many flavours that it can really depend on my mood. I'm never in the mood for Moonraker, though. Most consistently, I enjoy the Dalton movies; Russia; Goldeneye; Casino; Skyfall; L&LD (sue me); AVTAK (again, sue me). *When I was a kid, my parents used to joke about Lazenby and it wasn't until around 2000 that I first saw Majesty's, and I fell in love. The overdubbing is the only thing I really don't like about it.
Top 10: 1. Casino Royale 2. From Russia With Love 3. Goldeneye 4. OHMSS 5. Skyfall 6. For Your Eyes Only 7. Goldfinger 8. The Spy Who Loved Me 9. Licence to Kill 10. Dr No I enjoy all 10.
I always loved the ski chase and theme in For Your Eyes Only. I like most of the films and I like all the actors though but Timothy Dalton was probably my favorite with license to kill being my favorite. Although I grew up on Pierce Brosnan and really loved Tomorrow Never Dies and World is Not Enough. I watched those on vhs a lot lol
I was going to question listing so many Roger Moore films but, thinking back, there's nothing to replace them. We could arm wrestle over the order, but OHMSS would still be #1.
Diamonds are forever parodies the whole genre. It hits on every trope the producers could think of. Taken as a regular movie it makes no sense. Taken as the parody it is it’s really funny.
I love Daniel Craig as Bond, but Pierce Brosnan was the perfect Bond. He was beautiful, charismatic, and smart. Even in his lesser films he felt like James Bond just having a bad day.
I'm less mad at this list than I expected to be. Skyfall is my #1 though, so it's hard to see it way down in 7th place. I'm happy to see both of Dalton's films on the list, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Lazenby pushed his self-glorifying "I am the star" at the Director, who snapped, "You are not the star because you say... or because I say... but because the *public* says you are the star."
Great list - and I'm so happy to see OHMSS on it... which, in addition to being a great Bond film, has one of the best endings of any movie I've seen. In addition, Tracy has such spirit - She's more than a match for James. This may be the best script of all Bond films.
Totally agree with no 1. Was my go to favourite if I was ever asked. The last few minutes alone seals it for me. And without saying too much, I really liked the new one
Good list. I would change the position of a few and would swap out Skyfall for Live and Let Die which although flawed I find it more rewatchable than say the more recent offerings. Yaphet Kotto is a great villian and the theme song is one of the best.
I totally agree re OHMSS, I love that film. I think a lot of people prob aren't aware the mountain top base 'Piz Gloria' is actually a real place you can visit. It's a revolving restaurant on the Schilthorn mountain in Switzerland & has a Bond exhibit and a bunch of other Bond themed stuff to do.
Another great episode and I have to agree that "On Her Majesty's.." is a much under-rated and under-appreciated Bond film. Lazenby is great and Diana Rigg adds so much to the film. Thanks so much for inspiring me to revisit this Bond classic that I had dismissed as a kid because Connery wasn't in it.
Surprised at the number one but great list objectively speaking. My top 10 best films probably includes 80-90% of those films. Here’s my favorites tho: 10. The Living Daylights 9. The World Is Not Enough 8. Goldfinger 7. You Only Live Twice 6. Skyfall 5. Tomorrow Never Dies 4. The Spy Who Loved Me 3. License To Kill 2. Casino Royale 1. Goldeneye
Just watched No Time To Die last night. Absolutely loved it. But because of the way it ends, I don’t think I’ll find it nearly as rewatchable as anything else in my top 10 but as far as favorites, it’s in my top 10 somewhere in the back half.
Love License to Kill and agree with almost all that is said about it except I think that Lupe is a terrible Bond girl. The acting in the role is subpar, especially when she says to Pam "i love James so much!"But Pam Bouvier, as you pointed out, is one of the best.
Frankly, I consider 'On Your Majesty's Secret Service' one of the weakest entries in the franchise. It's just fine. In the case of 'Moonraker', it's just absurd silliness. They're both just ok.
Majesty's has grown on me over time. I always wished Bond would of been played by Michael Caine. Caine was hot in 1969, with Italian Job and Battle of Brittain and the thought of him as 007 in a movie with Telly Savalas and Diana Rigg would of been awesome. To bad Caine didn't want to do it.
Amazing list, probably closest to mine ever: 10. Licence To Kill 9. Thunderball 8. No Time To Die 7. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 6. GoldenEye 5. Skyfall 4. Goldfinger 3. The Spy Who Loved Me 2. Casino Royale 1. From Russia With Love
I don’t know how anyone could see anything but Casino Royale as number one. It is easily the smartest and most well made movie of the whole bunch that perfectly encapsulates Bond from his most popular traits to examining his deepest flaws with a script that I still can’t believe a human being was capable of writing.
NO NO NOOO.. I don't think license to kill is that bad that you put it on number 8.. it has to be in top 5 .. it has all the element of a great James Bond movie :- A villain who can fight, A bond girl who can fight, villain's henchman, great action sequences, great story, good gadgets and a lot more...
Great list. My Top Ten favorites have some similarities. Though any film in my Top 15 is a go to. My Top Ten: 1. CR 2. FRWL 3. LTK 4. OHMSS 5. FYEO 6. TLD 7. OP 8. TSWLM 9. DN 10.GF
I agree with the choices & appreciate the rationalization for said choices. I just think the order wasn't what I expected. I would have put FRWL as #1 & OHMSS as #2
It's a shame that Connery didn't come back for OHMSS, such an amazing script was just wasted on George (ego the size of Texas) Lazenby. However. Diana Riggs totally saves the movie.
Yeah to be honest, Lazenby's performance as Bond was rather weak, no more so than at the end. Pierce Brosnan's reaction to a love interest's death in Tomorrow Never Dies was much more believable
I felt way more of a connection between Bond and Domino in Thumderball... and Connery wasn't even trying that hard. The whole of OHMSS rests on believing that Bond falls in love... and I just don't buy that lego man.
10-The Man With The Golden Gun 9-Never Say Never Again 8-A View To A Kill 7-Casino Royale 6-Licence To Kill 5-Live And Let Die 4-Goldfinger 3-On Her Majesty's Secret Service 2-The Living Daylights 1-Goldeneye
This never happened to the other fella. Never seen this one off make it to No.1 on any other lists. Goldfinger in previous years always used to be the No.1 Bond film but has been knocked of it's perch. Timothy Dalton is my favourite Bond and his 2nd and last outing Licence to Kill has my favourite Bond girl of all time Carey Lowell as Pam Bouvier. Daniel Craig's run as Bond mirrors the Star Trek franchise in that his odd numbered movies are good while the even numbered are rubbish. Vodka Martini Shaken not stirred, do I look like I give a damn.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service has been number for me for years. Lazenby is closer to the the literary Bond than most and the film making is spectacular!
Now I know why Christopher Nolan said On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was his favorite bond movie, and Timothy Dalton was his favorite bond to play it, because it’s as close character as the books were written. He said it in his interview for BBC.
From what I've read Dalton was most like Fleming's vision of Bond, that is until Craig came along. They're both more serious in their roles and have more generic appearances, able to blend into crowds easier, just like real agents are able to do.
Christopher Nolan said On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was his favorite bond movie, and Timothy Dalton was his favorite bond to play it, because it’s as close character as the books were written. He said it in his interview for BBC.
My opinion: Best Sean Connery - Goldfinger Best Roger Moore - Octopussy Best Timothy Dalton - Licence to Kill Best Pierce Brosnan - Goldeneye Best Daniel Craig - Skyfall Best Bond film - On Her Majesty's Secret Service
I agree with all these except I think personally, For Your Eyes Only is Moore's best outing as Bond. The closest he ever got to portraying Bond like Fleming wrote the character.
@@codyt821 Good point!! Octopussy has nostalgic and sentimental value for me, it was my introduction to Bond and I had a crush on Maud Adams as a kid!!!

Great List! I disagree with the order of the movie's though My top ten: 1- Goldfinger 2 - From Russia With Love 3 - The Spy Who Loved Me 4 - Skyfall 5 - Goldeneye 6 - License to Kill 7 - For Your Eyes Only 8 - Cassino Royale 9 - The Living Daylights 10 - On Her Majesty's Secret Service I agree that ONHMSS is great, but for me it doesn't work so well. I mean, that whole part that Bond is dubbed while playing Sir Hilary Bray is terrible.... And also he jumping from bed to bed while he's supposed to be in love with Tracy and married her at the end doesn't work also.
Mine; 1. Goldeneye 2. Casino Royale 3. Goldfinger 4. License to kill 5. On her Majesty's secret service 6. Live and let die 7. From Russia with love 8. Skyfall 9. Living day lights 10. The man with the golden gun (I know this comes up on most worst of lists but I love it and Scaramanga is one of my favourite Bond villains)
Everyone's got their own Top Ten Bond movies list, and I usually lose interest and turn the page once I see Die Another Day on it. But *this* list, (which does not resemble my own), is remarkably well done. It's honest, and fair. Thank you. Well done. 👍
OHMSS is indeed my favourite by far as well! So happy so see this placement! Thrilled to see TLD on this list as well. SO HAPPY that LALD is not on this list - that movie is so overrated.
The first modern action film? From Russia with Love was partially an homage to North By Northwest (Hitchcock). If anything, that movie was the first modern action movie. Though, From Russia did it better.
Yes. OHMSS is my favourite film. I thought Lazenby was great, just sorry it didn't work out for him. The story, the action. Diana Rigg. With this in mind you should love No Time to Die.
My top 3 would be: 1. FRWL, 2. Casino Royale 3. OHMSS. The rest I pretty much agree with, just in different order. Maybe trade in Daylights and Skyfall for YOLT and Thunderball, depending on my mood. Or the day of the year...
14:21 The only thing I have any real problems with here is the mention that Lazenby wasn't really given the chance to continue as Bond, when it is pretty well documented he turned down the chance to continue even having been offered a multi-picture contract. My top ten, chosen without much thought: 1. Casino Royale 2. Goldfinger 3. The Spy Who loved Me 4. Skyfall 5. The Living Daylights 6. From Russia with Love 7. Tomorrow Never Dies 8. You Only Live Twice 9. For Your Eyes Only 10. Thunderball
My list: 10. For your eyes only 9. Thunderball 8. The spy who loved me 7. No time to die 6. Goldeneye 5. Goldfinger 4. From Russia with love 3. On her majesty’s secret service 2. Casino Royale 1. Skyfall
My Ranking is very similar, but No Time To Die is in my Top 3, and Octopussy is also in the Top 10. Timothy Dalton is very underrated, i like "The Living Daylights" and "Licence To Kill" so much. Nice to see you have also the 2 movies in the top 10
OHMSS is the Bond fan's Bond movie. Sort of like how a comedians comedian tells much more darker humor than most of the public is used to. The general public wouldn't really get why it's so good, but if you're a big fan of the series, you understand just how well crafted it is.
Thank you for putting OMHSS as number one! Brilliant thinking, I'd also like to mention that there are three entries on this list by John Glen who is my favourite James Bond Director. Could we have a top 10 James Bond directors list?
I always enjoy seeing peoples favorite bond films, and your top three are close, but I put OHMSS and Casino in mine, but my fave is and has always been From Russia With Love. It’s Sean’s favorite as well. He’s my fave Bond and that’s my fave movie.
My ten. 1. Licence to Kill 2. The World is Not Enough 3. For Your Eyes Only 4. Casino Royale 5. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 6. Die Another Day 7. A View to a Kill 8. From Russia with Love 9. Goldfinger 10. The Living Daylights
2 mentions for Dalton, god bless you joblo for recognising the awesomeness of Timothy Dalton!
He was so underrated!
Licence to Kill and Casino Royale are the best bond movies. There, I said it.
@@TriceUA totally....should have done at least 5 films...bought Bond back to reality after Roger's clowning (although I love Sir Moore)

It’s Dalton for me (although Sean is best by default). I thought Dalton was perfect and way ahead of his time. Unfortunately replaced by my least-favorite Bond.
It shows how tastes have changed. When the Dalton films came out they weren't well liked, but they have aged very well. Ahead of their time?

Wow. OHMSS for the win. I approve of this list.
Dalton is still my favourite portrayal and licence to kill is my fav bond film. OHMSS is easily in my top 5.
Great list. Diamonds are Forever and Live and Let Die would be somewhere in my top 10.
Diamonds are forever parodies the whole genre. It hits on every trope the producers could think of. Taken as a regular movie it makes no sense. Taken as the parody it is it’s really funny.
Almost Austin Powers territory indeed ahaha
Favourite Connery - Goldfinger
Favourite Moore - The Spy Who Loved Me
Favourite Dalton - License to Kill
Favourite Brosnan - Goldeneye
Favourite Craig - Casino Royale
I love Daniel Craig as Bond, but Pierce Brosnan was the perfect Bond. He was beautiful, charismatic, and smart. Even in his lesser films he felt like James Bond just having a bad day.
I'm less mad at this list than I expected to be. Skyfall is my #1 though, so it's hard to see it way down in 7th place. I'm happy to see both of Dalton's films on the list, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Lazenby pushed his self-glorifying "I am the star" at the Director, who snapped, "You are not the star because you say... or because I say... but because the *public* says you are the star."
Man really good list! Yes I love Moonraker! Another under rated James Bond/007 films is Never Say Never again, & Tommorow Never dies.
Great list - and I'm so happy to see OHMSS on it... which, in addition to being a great Bond film, has one of the best endings of any movie I've seen. In addition, Tracy has such spirit - She's more than a match for James. This may be the best script of all Bond films.
Casino royale is my no.1, Daniel Craig's version of course.
Totally agree with no 1. Was my go to favourite if I was ever asked. The last few minutes alone seals it for me.
And without saying too much, I really liked the new one
Got to admit I was very happy that OHMSS was top of the list. Such a great film.
Good list. I would change the position of a few and would swap out Skyfall for Live and Let Die which although flawed I find it more rewatchable than say the more recent offerings. Yaphet Kotto is a great villian and the theme song is one of the best.
I totally agree re OHMSS, I love that film. I think a lot of people prob aren't aware the mountain top base 'Piz Gloria' is actually a real place you can visit. It's a revolving restaurant on the Schilthorn mountain in Switzerland & has a Bond exhibit and a bunch of other Bond themed stuff to do.
Another great episode and I have to agree that "On Her Majesty's.." is a much under-rated and under-appreciated Bond film. Lazenby is great and Diana Rigg adds so much to the film. Thanks so much for inspiring me to revisit this Bond classic that I had dismissed as a kid because Connery wasn't in it.
Surprised at the number one but great list objectively speaking. My top 10 best films probably includes 80-90% of those films. Here’s my favorites tho:
10. The Living Daylights
9. The World Is Not Enough
8. Goldfinger
7. You Only Live Twice
6. Skyfall
5. Tomorrow Never Dies
4. The Spy Who Loved Me
3. License To Kill
2. Casino Royale
1. Goldeneye
Just watched No Time To Die last night. Absolutely loved it. But because of the way it ends, I don’t think I’ll find it nearly as rewatchable as anything else in my top 10 but as far as favorites, it’s in my top 10 somewhere in the back half.
Love License to Kill and agree with almost all that is said about it except I think that Lupe is a terrible Bond girl. The acting in the role is subpar, especially when she says to Pam "i love James so much!"But Pam Bouvier, as you pointed out, is one of the best.
Wow. Even though it's in a different order, JoBlo's top ten list is the same as mine.
Frankly, I consider 'On Your Majesty's Secret Service' one of the weakest entries in the franchise. It's just fine. In the case of 'Moonraker', it's just absurd silliness. They're both just ok.
Goldeneye will always be number 1 to me
Majesty's has grown on me over time. I always wished Bond would of been played by Michael Caine. Caine was hot in 1969, with Italian Job and Battle of Brittain and the thought of him as 007 in a movie with Telly Savalas and Diana Rigg would of been awesome. To bad Caine didn't want to do it.
I’m sure they considered him at some point
My Cocaine?
Amazing list, probably closest to mine ever:
10. Licence To Kill
9. Thunderball
8. No Time To Die
7. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
6. GoldenEye
5. Skyfall
4. Goldfinger
3. The Spy Who Loved Me
2. Casino Royale
1. From Russia With Love
Totally agree with you top #1 pick, it was also the best Ian Fleming novel.
Julian GLOVER not Grey... Great video again as usual!
My bad
Tomorrow Never Dies is a great movie and makes my top 5. Living Daylights was my fav growing up too
I love the scenes in hamburg!
I don’t know how anyone could see anything but Casino Royale as number one. It is easily the smartest and most well made movie of the whole bunch that perfectly encapsulates Bond from his most popular traits to examining his deepest flaws with a script that I still can’t believe a human being was capable of writing.
NO NO NOOO.. I don't think license to kill is that bad that you put it on number 8.. it has to be in top 5 .. it has all the element of a great James Bond movie :- A villain who can fight, A bond girl who can fight, villain's henchman, great action sequences, great story, good gadgets and a lot more...
Nailed it with the #1 pick. Wasn't expecting that . Telly Savalas was one of my favorite Bond villains. "Who loves ya baby"
Great list. My Top Ten favorites have some similarities. Though any film in my Top 15 is a go to. My Top Ten:
1. CR
2. FRWL
3. LTK
4. OHMSS
5. FYEO
6. TLD
7. OP
8. TSWLM
9. DN
10.GF
I agree with the choices & appreciate the rationalization for said choices. I just think the order wasn't what I expected. I would have put FRWL as #1 & OHMSS as #2
It's a shame that Connery didn't come back for OHMSS, such an amazing script was just wasted on George (ego the size of Texas) Lazenby. However. Diana Riggs totally saves the movie.
Yeah to be honest, Lazenby's performance as Bond was rather weak, no more so than at the end. Pierce Brosnan's reaction to a love interest's death in Tomorrow Never Dies was much more believable
I felt way more of a connection between Bond and Domino in Thumderball... and Connery wasn't even trying that hard. The whole of OHMSS rests on believing that Bond falls in love... and I just don't buy that lego man.
The script was awful. I did not mind Lazenby.
Casino Royale is definitely number one but other than that your list is perfect.
I completely agree!
On her majesty is my favorite too.
Goldeneye and Casino Royale are probably my favourites, didn't know they were done by the same director but it probably explains a lot.
They are two of my favorite Bond films to and been a Bond fan since I was 8 years old in 95.
10-The Man With The Golden Gun
9-Never Say Never Again
8-A View To A Kill
7-Casino Royale
6-Licence To Kill
5-Live And Let Die
4-Goldfinger
3-On Her Majesty's Secret Service
2-The Living Daylights
1-Goldeneye
That’s the great thing about Bond - all lists are legit. For me a lot of it has to do with nostalgia - which I think is fair.
@@JoBloOriginals It was a real challenge not to include Octopussy, but it just felt like too much of a guilty pleasure..
My Top Ten are : Casino Royale, Licence to Kill and Goldeneye... And then the otlhers.
@@DavyDredd14 i dont have to get it. These are the films i like. That's all.
Great... OHMSS is also my number 1.
And i think George Lazenby is realy good.
Agreed on #1.
This never happened to the other fella. Never seen this one off make it to No.1 on any other lists. Goldfinger in previous years always used to be the No.1 Bond film but has been knocked of it's perch. Timothy Dalton is my favourite Bond and his 2nd and last outing Licence to Kill has my favourite Bond girl of all time Carey Lowell as Pam Bouvier. Daniel Craig's run as Bond mirrors the Star Trek franchise in that his odd numbered movies are good while the even numbered are rubbish. Vodka Martini Shaken not stirred, do I look like I give a damn.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service has been number for me for years. Lazenby is closer to the the literary Bond than most and the film making is spectacular!
Nailed it with that comment
Imagine if Connery had ended his run with OHMSS.
Now I know why Christopher Nolan said On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was his favorite bond movie, and Timothy Dalton was his favorite bond to play it, because it’s as close character as the books were written. He said it in his interview for BBC.
Love this list. Great rationale for each choice. I agree with your editor though - Moonraker should be in there somewhere 😄
Goldeneye for me. So many great characters and the best theme and best villians.
Famke Jansen was fantastic; gorgeous and psychotic.
I just wish Dalton had been Bond in it, he deserved better scripts.
From what I've read Dalton was most like Fleming's vision of Bond, that is until Craig came along. They're both more serious in their roles and have more generic appearances, able to blend into crowds easier, just like real agents are able to do.

@@jobsmine yeah Dalton bought Bond back to the source material way better than anyone else
Dalton and Brosnan look like Flemming wanted, ad he used Hoagy Charmichael as his look he had for Bond.
My opinion:
Best Sean Connery - Goldfinger
Best Roger Moore - Octopussy
Best Timothy Dalton - Licence to Kill
Best Pierce Brosnan - Goldeneye
Best Daniel Craig - Skyfall
Best Bond film - On Her Majesty's Secret Service
I agree with all these except I think personally, For Your Eyes Only is Moore's best outing as Bond. The closest he ever got to portraying Bond like Fleming wrote the character.
@@codyt821 Good point!! Octopussy has nostalgic and sentimental value for me, it was my introduction to Bond and I had a crush on Maud Adams as a kid!!!
Octopussy is the best Moore film and certainly top 10
Casino Royal is Craigs best. Skyfall is enjoyable until you switch your brain on and actually think about Silvas plan. It makes no sense what so ever.
@@Welsh_Dragon756 Yes!! Make sure you switch your brain on every morning!!

Thank you so much JoBlo. I’ve been loving your JB revisited videos. Great work!
Ha! You must like the OHMSS references in No Time to Die!
I think From Russia With Love is the absolute best Bond movie. I only like 4 of them. The other 3 are Dr. No, Goldfinger, and Casino Royale
Great List! I disagree with the order of the movie's though
My top ten:
1- Goldfinger
2 - From Russia With Love
3 - The Spy Who Loved Me
4 - Skyfall
5 - Goldeneye
6 - License to Kill
7 - For Your Eyes Only
8 - Cassino Royale
9 - The Living Daylights
10 - On Her Majesty's Secret Service
I agree that ONHMSS is great, but for me it doesn't work so well. I mean, that whole part that Bond is dubbed while playing Sir Hilary Bray is terrible.... And also he jumping from bed to bed while he's supposed to be in love with Tracy and married her at the end doesn't work also.
Mine;
1. Goldeneye
2. Casino Royale
3. Goldfinger
4. License to kill
5. On her Majesty's secret service
6. Live and let die
7. From Russia with love
8. Skyfall
9. Living day lights
10. The man with the golden gun (I know this comes up on most worst of lists but I love it and Scaramanga is one of my favourite Bond villains)
Everyone's got their own Top Ten Bond movies list, and I usually lose interest and turn the page once I see Die Another Day on it. But *this* list, (which does not resemble my own), is remarkably well done. It's honest, and fair. Thank you. Well done. 👍
Live and Let Die is amazing. The boat chase is one of the best Bond action scenes ever.
OHMSS is indeed my favourite by far as well! So happy so see this placement! Thrilled to see TLD on this list as well. SO HAPPY that LALD is not on this list - that movie is so overrated.
Great list :-)
Top 5:
1. Casino Royale
2. The living daylights
3. Skyfall
4. Goldfinger
5. No time to die
The first modern action film? From Russia with Love was partially an homage to North By Northwest (Hitchcock). If anything, that movie was the first modern action movie. Though, From Russia did it better.
Yes. OHMSS is my favourite film. I thought Lazenby was great, just sorry it didn't work out for him. The story, the action. Diana Rigg.
With this in mind you should love No Time to Die.
My top 3 would be: 1. FRWL, 2. Casino Royale 3. OHMSS. The rest I pretty much agree with, just in different order. Maybe trade in Daylights and Skyfall for YOLT and Thunderball, depending on my mood. Or the day of the year...
Nailed it, OHMSS is the best.
No THUNDERBALL ???!!!
14:21 The only thing I have any real problems with here is the mention that Lazenby wasn't really given the chance to continue as Bond, when it is pretty well documented he turned down the chance to continue even having been offered a multi-picture contract.
My top ten, chosen without much thought: 1. Casino Royale 2. Goldfinger 3. The Spy Who loved Me 4. Skyfall 5. The Living Daylights 6. From Russia with Love 7. Tomorrow Never Dies 8. You Only Live Twice 9. For Your Eyes Only 10. Thunderball
Wow, I can't believe Skyfall didn't crack the top 10. I'd almost swap it out for OHMSS except Goldfinger is my number 1.
No. 7 ?
Skyfall is #7 buddy
@@mitchwoolnough3509 I must've blinked, thanks!

I always have felt that Moore was my overall fave with Connery being an almost tie. But Dalton and Goldeneye Brosnan are right up there.
Moore is the Elvis of the Bond franchise. He took it to superstardom.
"Moonraker" is iconic, yes, but it's also a trashfire of a film. It's the film that kind of killer Roger Moore's run on the series.
My Ranking is very similar, but No Time To Die is in my Top 3, and Octopussy is also in the Top 10. Timothy Dalton is very underrated, i like "The Living Daylights" and "Licence To Kill" so much. Nice to see you have also the 2 movies in the top 10
OHMSS is the Bond fan's Bond movie. Sort of like how a comedians comedian tells much more darker humor than most of the public is used to. The general public wouldn't really get why it's so good, but if you're a big fan of the series, you understand just how well crafted it is.
I totally agree with your top, I would only swap OHMSS & CR but apart from the I loved it!!
Nick the editor presents an interesting point: Every James Bond film is someone's favorite James Bond film.
Came faster than jo bloing his loads to watch the vid
Thank you for putting OMHSS as number one! Brilliant thinking, I'd also like to mention that there are three entries on this list by John Glen who is my favourite James Bond Director. Could we have a top 10 James Bond directors list?
Love this series !! Bond rules !!
My top 5 would be ..1.Goldfinger 2 Goldeneye 3 The Spy Who loved me 4 The Living daylights 5 O H M S
I always enjoy seeing peoples favorite bond films, and your top three are close, but I put OHMSS and Casino in mine, but my fave is and has always been From Russia With Love. It’s Sean’s favorite as well. He’s my fave Bond and that’s my fave movie.
My ten.
