and I agree with Stuckkman , its the card game in that movie that makes it so great. Its placed well and really builds makes the movie. and yes Eva Green Li Chiffe do their part.
10 - The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) 9 - Dr. No (1962) 8 - Thunderball (1965) 7 - Skyfall (2012) 6 - On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) 5 - Goldfinger (1964) 4 - License to Kill (1989) 3 - GoldenEye (1995) 2 - Casino Royale (2006) 1 - From Russia with Love (1963)
Tomorrow Never Dies, Living Daylights, and No Time to Die are missing from this "best movies" list... I'd replace OHMSS, Dr No and Goldeneye with them. But I'd prefer to keep the list as a 13-spot one.
During my childhood, the Dalton Bonds were the only ones I could get into. I felt that even the Roger Moore ones from a few years earlier felt too old, somehow. So I kind of see Dalton as the first modern Bond. And License to Kill was the newest Bond film for what seemed like forever, because GE007 took a long time to get off the ground due to massive production issues. When it did, it was clearly worth the wait, but Brosnan didn't sit well with me as Bond. I didn't warm to him until nearly 2 years later when the game GE007 came out. Prior to that, Brosnan was still the smarmy English guy who made Robin Williams miserable in Mrs. Doubtfire.
I grew up on the paperbacks in high school and Dalton is by far the closest, physically and emotionally, to Bond in the books. A manic depressive loner, cynical about class and money, but with a few shreds of decency left in him. A thin, cruel mouth, narrow blue eyes, a vague resemblance to Hoagy Carmichael, the whole thing.
10) From Russia With Love (1963) 9) Dr. No (1962) 8) The Living Daylights (1987) 7) On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) 6) Goldfinger (1964) 5) Goldeneye (1995) 4) The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) 3) License to Kill (1989) 2) Skyfall (2012) 1) Casino Royale (2006)
1. Goldfinger 2. From Russia with Love 3. Skyfall 4. The Spy Who Loved Me 5. On Her Majesty's Secret Service Picking five Bond films is next to impossible, but these are currently my top five. It tends to change from month to month.
I feel really bad for Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby because they got a lot of hate for being replacements for Roger Moore and Sean Connery respectively. I'm sure they could've gotten Sir Laurence Olivier to play the role of James Bond and he still would've been criticized for not being Sean Connery and Roger Moore. Dalton and Lazenby tried their hardest and I can appreciate their efforts.
@@raoulduke1961 Its Wrong To Say George Lazenby Was The Worst Bond , For A Guy With No Previous Acting Experience Stepping into the Shoes Of Sean Connery He Did Ok , If He Had Stayed Around Longer Then He Would Have Become Better..
@@brianjones7907I agree, George Lazenby had a short cameo in "The Return of the Man From UNCLE", playing a character called "JB". It shows how good he could be as Bond given the chance.
janeyrevanescence12 Timothy Dalton didn’t get a chance to continue on for his third movie to be originally released in 1991 as the series was in legal ligation for 6 years from 1989 to 1994 preventing any films from being produced and by the time Goldeneye was in pre production in 1994, Dalton was offered the role to return but by then he was fed up with the delays and was committed to other projects. Executives wanted to offer Dalton a multi picture deal to but Dalton felt at 48 years old in 1994 he was too old to commit to more then one film and resigned. Pierce Brosnan took over the role and Goldeneye was a darker toned film as was written for Dalton specifically.

Is that "Sexy Bond Girls" list only including Goodies not Badies? Because if you're including all I don't know how you can have people like Wai Lin in the list but not Xenia Onatopp lol
_Films_ 6. The Man with the Golden Gun 5. The Spy Who Loved Me 4. Licence To Kill _( I completely agree with you Chris. This film was underrated )_ 3. GoldenEye 2. Skyfall 1. Casino Royale _Villians_ 4. Goldfinger 3. Trevelyan 2. Scaramanger 1. Le Chiffre _Bonds_ I can never decide, because I love them all for entirely different reasons.
+Ashley Small i will never figure out how ANYONE likes casino royal xD its basically my most hated movie of ALL time few things make me rage so hard XD but hey guess some people like it
iunary I liked the down and dirty collisions with the _'bad guys'._ In previous say - Roger Moore movies - Bond would punch each henchman once, adjust his tie, then leave the room unscathed. Craig really got his hands dirty. I'm also a huge fan of Mads Mikkelsen, who played Le Chiffre perfectly. To each their own though, Iunary.
+Ashley Small I personally found The Man with the Golden Gun insanely awful. It was pretty much a se-fparody where nothing really happened (and no actually funny stuff happened) - but, like most of the time: To each his/her own.
Connery: His personality was the strongest, and he had the best moments in the series. Lazenby: Lucky to have gotten a great storyline in his only movie. Moore: Too lighthearted but he was by far the most "English Bond", elegant and witty. Dalton: Very faithful to the character in the novels, which strangely hurt him. Brosnan: Desperately tried to be as tough as Connery and as charming as Moore. Craig: Wouldn't consider him the best, but definitely the most "realistic" 007.
Lazenby quite literally pulled a bond on the producers and convinced them he was an action movie star while saying he starred in movies that never expected.
10: For Your Eyes Only (A forgotten gem) 9: License to Kill (Massively underrated and ahead of its time) 8: Octopussy (A Hitchcockian mystery) 7: Skyfall (One of the most creative films in the series that perfectly mixes fan service with great suspense) 6: From Russia With Love (Bond's unknowing cat-and-mouse with Quint from Jaws is the best spy thriller in the series) 5: Goldeneye (Bond's arrival into the 1990s manages to balance humor and serious tension) 4: The Spy Who Loved Me (Nobody does it better) 3: On Her Majesty's Secret Service (The film that would be #1 if Sean Connery was paid that cash money) 2: Casino Royale (The return to realism is a breath of fresh air) 1: Goldfinger (53 years later, and they're still trying to top it)
All the Bond movies I expect in a top watever are on yours, *Delon Luu (except for You Only Live Twice, but watever) and I agree with them. (To be specific Skyfall, Casino Royale (2006) and Golden Eye.) I also agree with your photo.
Chris -- I smiled to myself when you chose 'Casino' over 'Skyfall'. I think 'Skyfall' is an absolutely terrific film, and THE most beautifully shot, but I don't think it quite warrants being listed so often as topping 'Casino'. So thank you!
1.Casino Royale 2.Goldfinger 3.Skyfall 4.Goldeneye 5.Live and Let Die I know most people think you'd have to be on bath salts to put Roger Moore in a top 5 but Live and Let Die was strange, different, and had the best over the top villain deaths of any of the Bond movies. Plus one of the best theme songs!
I wouldn't say best...(Connery and Craig kick Moore's ass any day) but Moore is like Tony Romo. He gets a lot more hate than he should but really he's quite alright.
I love live and let die. Watched it over and over when I was about 7 years old. Planned to search for Jane Seymore and marry her when I grew up. Never worked out! 😢
Craig is and will always be the defining interpretation of Bond for me. Obviously there have been other great actors who played the character and there will be more great actors who play him in the future but I seriously doubt if any of them will beat out Craig for me. The defining interpretation of the character for me atleast.
Sean38529 The mumbling, uncharismatic, unattractive, unintelligent, ungadgeted, regular spy who went from youngster to burned out in literally one movie? The only iteration who doesn't fit with the classic theme? Oh yeah. *clap clap clap* Bond. James Bond.
aydooknow The Bond franchise was dying because no one could figure out what Pierce Brosnan's Bond was supposed to be. Ever since Roger Moore, it was chaos. Plus, they devolved into generic action flicks. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the classic formula and it could easily still work today. Craig did save the franchise, but that doesn't make his acting any better. He makes Lazenby look like Laurence Olivier.
DarthRushy you sound like quite the expert. You can sit behind your keyboard and cry and reminisce about the old days while the rest of us go and see what is probably going to be a great bond film.
No love for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"? If ever there was an under rated Bond film that was it. And it is actually the one in which a girl gets to Bond's heart for the first time. It also has one of the coolest action themes of any Bond film.
If you watch Lazenby's performance, it's not bad at all, it's a shame he didn't get a chance to do another Bond film, but the script for Diamond's Are Forever was so bad, it's probably just as well that he didn't.
+Nelson Smith Since Brad Jones is a big fan of Lazenby, seeing him as the best Bond, I heard enough of him to disagree to your last statement. Seemingly he did get the chance to play another Bond, it was his decision not too. Seemingly due to the rise of the 69 peace movement his agent though the time of characters like James Bond was over and he advised Lazenby to quit the part. Brad Jones aside to me it always seemed that since he only played Bond once people figured he must have been bad at it and he became largely known and accepted as worst Bond largely unrelated to his actual performance. At least that's the way humans tend to think and act.
YES! License to Kill is awesome! The ones I'd put for my top five are: Goldeneye, License to Kill, Spy Who Loved Me, From Russia With Love, and Casino Royale.
everyone rags on the roger moore era of bond, but i grew up through that and it fit with the times. the world was a happier place, and we all laughed a lot more back then, and his one liners were loads of fun to watch for the first time and there were always huge roars of laughter through the theatre. i always used to leave the theatre laughing at it, talking about the fim with my mates having enjoyed a great night out. nowadays i never experience that same emotion. all the films nowadays are bleak, which i suppose is a reflection on the world we now live in. i leave the cinema thinking "meh". so to judge his films by todays standards, where everyone is unhappy, grumpy and self absorbed is misguided. he did a great job at the time, and the box office receipts from those days back that up. that said, i think daniel craig is terrific, and will leave hard shoes to fill.
Millenials rag on everything that came before they were born. That's why this guy has only 1 Connery film Goldfinger ranked last on his list and no Moore films and BTW the spy who loved me is one of the best bond films period. The other day another millenial guy made a Rocky list and he put Rocky 2 and 3 as last on his list and Rocky Balboa as #1. This is what they do.
I always loved, "The world isn't enough." it worked with so many of the tropes, especially love M being more then just a bit part, the villians, just so much.
+wolf wing Agreed. The World is Not Enough is a flawed movie but it definetly isnt as bad as the likes of Die Another Day, A View to a Kill and Moonraker. I think everyone can agree (Chris included) that Goldeneye was Pierce Brosnan's only truly great Bond movie. Tomorrow Never Dies was a serious step down and Die Another Day was just crap. The World is not enough was good and an improvement over Tomorrow Never Dies but it definetly isnt as good as Goldeneye. I think what TWINE suffers from is its incredibly confusing plot. Other than that its fine. Well Zukosky's stupid henchman and those ridiculous parahawks and chainsaw helicopters too.
+irish91ify yeah it has it's rediculous stuff :> But I just enjoy M being more then a information dump at the start/end, same reason I really liked her in the early craig films :> She plays a part in them.
My top three would probably be 1) Casino Royale 2) Goldeneye 3) Skyfall (in no particular order). I've watched most of the Bond movies but none of the others really stick out in my mind when I "list" them. Personally, the best Bond was Pierce Brosnan. There was just an elegance to him that no other actor brought to the role. I might be biased because I grew up with him too but he seemed the closest to the Bond in the novels. And Xenia Onatopp? What a villain. Shame Pierce's Bond run didn't have more of the same quality. That tends to happen with Bond movies in general.
my Top 10 1. Casino Royale 2. Skyfall 3. From Russia with Love 4. Goldfinger 5. Goldeneye 6. Thunderball 7. Dr. No 8. Spectre 9. License to Kill 10. Live and let die HM: On her Majesty's secret service, The spy who loved me, You only live twice.
James Bond & Le Chifre. (Played By: Daniel Craig & Mads Mikkelsen) Casino Royale was a fantastic movie and the best I’ve scene in my 26 years. The parkour scene was eloquent and provided a nice dash of action, early, into the film. ‘A Poker Match’ was very stylish of an idea for the major themes of the drama to play out in. In one particular instance, Bond returns to the game well-dressed & composed after nearly having been poisoned to death w/ a sly one-liner; “That last hand, nearly killed me”. Also, no one can forget the exceedingly long car crash incident; nor the torture scene. Times are bound to change, as is only inevitable, but it’s going to take an immensely spectacular flick to surpass this one, and ‘Skyfall’, not to mention, didn’t even come close for me. As times change and Robots and AI take a leading role in society, it’ll be interesting to see how, and/or if, the Bond Saga will continue; and if it does, in what ways it’ll undoubtedly be transformed. In the meantime, I’m eagerly awaiting “No Time To Die”, Daniel Craig’s last shot to fully cement his legacy atop the throne of ‘James Bond’ actors. I can’t wait to see it! ❤️

Donz No, I don´t like of lazenby acting but I realy liked of the movie at all. Because the action scences were realy well made in my opinion and the vilian was very good (the 69 Blofeld).
Nihar Sheth No that isn't. The number one is the only actor from the whole franchise that read all the original books to be more like the Fleming bond and the first actor who did all of his stunts.
Well expressed, Chris. My #1 favorite Bond film is 'Goldfinger' but that is partly explained by the fact it was my first Bond film and one which I saw during its initial release. Experiences like that, espescially if they're as iconic as 'Goldfinger', tend to imprint themselves in your DNA. And for me that experience was pure movie magic. I had similarly memorable experiences with 'The Exorcist', '2001', 'The Godfather', 'Cuckoo's Nest', 'Jaws', 'Alien', 'Bladerunner', 'Silence Of The Lambs', various Hitchcock and Lynch films, and too many others to list here. But if I had to choose a single Bond film as the finest in terms of all levels of cinematic artistry, my choice would be 'Casino' which completely blew me away, leaving me shaken AND stirred. And, much as I will always adore Connery, I have to say Craig, in 'Casino', gave the single finest performance of any actor in that role. And Eva Greene gives the finest performance of any of the Bond women, with Diana Rigg a close second. Which brings me to the other Bond film in my personal top echelon -- 'Majesty's' -- not withstanding the sometimes unduly harsh critiques about Lazenby's performance. (NOTE: Your mention of Vesper -- being the only woman who ever really got to Bond emotionally is not really true in light of him having married and then tragically lost Tracy in 'OHMSS'.)
10 - Thunderball 9 - The Spy Who Loved Me 8 - The Living Daylights 7 - Skyfall 6 - On Her Majesty's Secret Service 5 - Goldfinger 4 - License to Kill 3 - From Russia with Love 2 - GoldenEye 1 - Casino Royale
Actually, the first woman to touch Bond's heart was Teresa Draco in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (although, I'll admit, the Daniel Craig films seem to screw with the James Bond timeline).
Casion Royale is the one of the first Ian Fleming novels, so technically in the books Vesper is the first women to touch Bond's heart, as you may not have noticed that James Bond in Casino Royale has only recently reached 00 status further reinforcing my point.
I did notice he was not 00 yet in Casino Royale. However, the movies messed up the timeline for me. I always thought it was the death of Teresa Draco that made him cold and closed-off. I really need to read the books one of these days.
@@EditedAF987 I was confused about that. Yeah...sometimes I wasn't sure if this was a continuation or a reboot...or a re-imagining. Films are so confusing these days, LOL.
Those two movies were good for their day -- but they've dated badly. Watch them again, you'll see. DR. NO -- He climbs through an air-shaft big enough for an elephant, then a flood of water threatens to wash him away and he must hold on for dear life; then he climbs out of the air-shaft into a computer room--- [record scratch]--- wait, this air-shaft that opens onto a computer room has a FLOOD OF WATER going through it at regular intervals? I mean, what the fuck, dude?! FROM RUSSIA -- that last fight scene looks like an unrehearsed ballet between two people who don't know how to dance. Who choreographed this fight? Billy from third grade?
@@calql8er -- Well if you like air conditioning shafts that also shoot water all over your computers, and a villain that takes out of his pocket the one copy of a film reel he is going to use to blackmail Bond AND a letter indicting Bond, just to show Bond that he has them and-- Spock Chop-- destroyed. Great plotting, Maibaum. I don't hold any malice against the two movies, Moneypenny m'dear, but I am a Bond aficionado who knows what's what in the Bond universe...
@@jondunmore4268 You aren't the only one. The Bonds are not perfect. Yul Brynner should have been Blofeld and Jack Lord or David Hedison should have been Felix. If your criticism is they are 'dated,' perhaps a bit. But then again so is Casablanca.
@@calql8er -- CASABLANCA sucks (but that's another rant)... Yul Brynner as Blofeld - you won't get any argument from me! Although out of all the Blowies, Donald Pleasance was the absolute scariest. And I'm sure you know that Jack Lord AND David Hedison were both Felix, but I think you mean as a permanent casting (right?) rather than 8 different actors portraying Felix over the years...like I would have preferred the chilling Pleasance as Blofeld forever.
Here's mine: 1. License to Kill 2. The Living Daylights 3. The Spy Who Loved Me 4. Casino Royale 5. Goldeneye 6. Skyfall 7. Moonraker 8. Octopussy 9. A View to a Kill 10. The World is Not Enough
My favorites: 1. Goldeneye 2. Goldfinger 3. Casino Royale 4. Skyfall 5. For Your Eyes Only ( Honorable mentions.. You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever & Live And Let Die) I started loving bond from the Goldeneye 007 Video game on N64 of course.
Respect, I bow down to you sir. Massive bond fan, read the first 3 of Ian Fleming's novels and have saw all of the movies and my personal stance is that Timothy Dalton is a massively underrated bond and, in my opinion, he is the only bond that I have ever seen who didn't have a movie that I didn't like, but the rest of your list is as close to perfect as could be.
01. Casino Royale 02. Goldfinger 03. GoldenEye 04. You Only Live Twice 05. Thunderball 06. Tomorrow Never Dies 07. SkyFall 08. The Living Daylights 09. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 10.

My top 5 1. Golden Eye (HE HAS A TANK, THIS MAN COULD TAKE AN ARMY WITH A SINGLE PISTOL LET ALONE A TANK) 2. Goldfinger (nothing needs to be said) 3. License To Kill (just love this movie no pure reason) 4. Skyfall (great story, probably my favorite) 5. Die another Day (First bond movie I ever saw and while I know it's not the best I still get nostalgia from it)
Well, with Goldfinger, it's not a perfect movie; there are many issues with it. Not saying it's not good, but it's not excellent because of silly plot holes

Really likes your video and list of James Bond. I totally agree with it. I've watched several of your videos and I really like them. I love movies! I'd like to start doing something like this on TH-cam. Don't really know where to start. Do you have any pointers or suggestions?
I'm glad to see that you're a Bond fan, Chris! I wonder how accurate this list is to your opinion today. I know Casino Royale is still your favorite, but has some of this changed even a little bit? Anyway, here's my personal ranking of all 24 Bond films (including Spectre) from worst to best: The Film I Hate: 24. Die Another Day (PB, 2002) - 0.5/10 (One of the worst films I have ever seen in my life.) The Films I Dislike: 23. Thunderball (SC, 1965) - 3.5/10 22. Tomorrow Never Dies (PB, 1997) - 4.0/10 21. Quantum Of Solace (DC, 2008) - 4.0/10 The Films I Think Range From A Mixed Bag To Actually Pretty Decent: 20. You Only Live Twice (SC, 1967) - 5.5/10 19. The World Is Not Enough (PB, 1999) - 6.0/10 18. For Your Eyes Only (RM, 1981) - 6.5/10 The Films I Genuinely Like: 17. Diamonds Are Forever (SC, 1971) - 7.5/10 16. License To Kill (TD, 1989) - 7.0/10 (I'm sorry. I enjoyed License To Kill, but I had a couple of really big problems with it that keep me from loving it. I, too, think it's maybe a little bit underrated (it's usually just written off as blah or just okay by most Bond fans), but it's still flawed nonetheless in my opinion. I still think it's good though.) 15. Moonraker (RM, 1979) - 8.5/10 (*Shrugs* I really like it. :3) 14. A View To A Kill (RM, 1985) - 8.0/10 (I think it's really underrated.) 13. The Man With The Golden Gun (RM, 1974) - 8.5/10 (Also incredibly underrated.) The Films I Absolutely Love: 12. Dr. No (SC, 1962) - 9.5/10 11. GoldenEye (PB, 1995) - 9.0/10 (I'm not a big Pierce Brosnan fan (if you couldn't already tell), but this is the one film of his that I think truly stands out. Plus, this was my first Bond film, so I naturally do have a bit of a soft spot for it.) 10. Spectre (DC, 2015) - 8.5/10 (It does have some flaws, but I still think it's a very good Bond film and I loved it.) 9. From Russia With Love (SC, 1963) - 9.0/10 8. The Living Daylights (TD, 1987) - 8.5/10 7. Octopussy (RM, 1983) - 9.5/10 (I think it's the most underrated Bond film of all time. Half of Bond fans either don't really care for this or think it's good but not great at best. I personally think it's fantastic.) 6. Live And Let Die (RM, 1973) - 9.5/10 (If the the pointless Rosie character was cut out, it would easily get a 10.) 5. Goldfinger (SC, 1964) - 10/10 (A pure masterpiece. Probably the best Bond film for an upcoming fan to start on.) 4. The Spy Who Loved Me (RM, 1977) - 9.5/10 (If the villain was a little stronger, it would've easily gotten a 10.) 3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (GL, 1969) - 9.5/10 (If it was either Connery or Moore instead it could put up a strong fight for my absolute favorite Bond film.) 2. Skyfall (DC, 2012) - 10/10 (An absolute cinematic phenomenon.) 1. Casino Royale (DC, 2006) - 10/10 (YES! You and I have the same favorite Bond film! For me, Casino Royale is the definitive Bond film, the greatest action film I have ever seen and easily makes my top 50 favorite films OF ALL TIME! Just nothing short of a marvel in cinema.) My Personal Ranking Of The Bonds: 6. George Lazenby 5. Pierce Brosnan I really love all the other four. It was very hard to order them. 4. Timothy Dalton 3. Sean Connery 2. Daniel Craig 1. Roger Moore (It was kind of obvious.) It's funny how my two favorite Bond actors are the ones that are the most polar opposite.
Loved View To A Kill. LOVED IT. It's so weird that it's good. My top 5 takes one from each actor: 5. The Living Daylights 4. Goldeneye 3. Skyfall 2. Spy Who Loved Me 1. Goldfinger
My favorites are: 1. Goldeneye 2.die another day(huge guilty pleasuere) 3.casino royale (have my favorite bond song to) 4.Goldfinger 5. Live and let die./the world is not enough.
@@aleksanderhiller7506 They are some of my favorite Bond movies. Generally the more spying and figuring stuff out Bond does the more I like the movies. When they try to turn it into an explosion laden action movie like a Die Hard flick is when I don't enjoy them as much. A little action here and there is obviously necessary but is not what the series should focus on at all IMHO.
And let’s not forget Dr. No, which was the one that actually started silly Bond Girl names with Honey Rider. People tend to forget just how much started in that movie.
1: Casino Royale 2: Skyfall 3: Licence to Kill After that it's hard to choose between Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, OHMSS, For Your Eyes Only, and The Living Daylights.
GoldenEye is my favourite Bond film. Brosnan balanced the action and quips very well and is my all time favorite Bond actor as well as the Bond of my childhood. 006 is my favourite villain ever in anything and Sean Bean hits it out of the park!
+Laatikkomafia Diana Rigg's Tracy di Vicenzo was not only sexy, but she was classy. It tugs at my heart strings every time I see her death scene in the end of OHMSS.
Licence to Kill is an amazing film. The introduction, where the Wedding March segues into the theme song is just mind-blowing and brings me to tears every time I hear it. Divi is a great villain, Carey Lowell is gorgeous and Q has his greatest part. It is the first hard Bond and I love it.
Mine is probably 1: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service 2. Goldfinger 3. Casino Royale (Daniel Craig version) 4. You only live twice 5. GoldenEye Honourable mention to moonraker: the ultimate guilty pleasure.
Good list, and I agree about what you say about the movies, the actors and the constant shifting between seriousness and campiness in the series. I see you tend to enjoy the darker and more serious films, and I do as well. It would be hard for me to pick a favourite, but I would definitely include Goldfinger, GoldenEye, Casino Royale and Skyfall in my top five. I agree that Licence to Kill is underrated, but I wouldn't go as far as placing it in my top five. I actually think The Living Daylights is a notch better. I suppose my fifth pick would stand between The Spy Who Loved Me, and Spectre, which came out after this review. TSWLM is like the perfect "Adventure Bond", and it's perhaps the movie that unites the fun and romance with the mystery and seriousness in the best way, not to mention that Barbara Bach is so hot that I almost ... Well, you know. Spectre is the darkest of all the Bond films; it doesn't have ANY campiness, not much humour, and it just looks bleak. I can also understand why people find it a bit slow. For my part, I like slow, and I really like the mystery and very much enjoy the dark and melancholic soundtrack, as well as the awesome production, and realistic scenes. And it has Blofeld in the form of Christoph Waltz!
I have a definite top four, number five i'm not so sure about. 1. Skyfall 2. Casino Royale 3. From Russia with Love 4. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 5. Dr No / The Spy Who Loved Me / Licence to Kill
Top 5 James Bond movies 1. Goldfinger(Favorite Sean Connery) 2. Casino Royale(Favorite Daniel Craig) 3. Goldeneye(Favorite Pierce Brosnan) 4. License To Kill(Favorite Timothy Dalton) 5. The Spy Who Loved Me(Favorite Roger Moore)
Poor Roger Moore! You have some great picks in your review, but I would include The Spy Who Loved Me simply because it was Moore's Bond coming of age. After Live and Let Die and The Man With the Golden Gun, it looked like Bond was finished. TSWLM brought back fun and excitement, exotic locales and great action, a great henchman in the Oddjob tradition with Jaws, and of course the first real Bond car since the Aston Martin DB5 in the Lotus Esprit. It was also my first theatrical Bond, having only seen earlier films in the series on TV. In many ways, it was a retread of Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice in many of its motifs, but I thought immensely enjoyable.I would also choose Tomorrow Never Dies over Goldeneye if for no other reason than Michelle Yeoh and the opening sequence where Bond escapes a cruise missile attack on a terrorist weapon exchange. I thought Brosnan was more sure of his characterisation of Bond and it hadn't reached the ridiculous levels of Die Another Day (which ties for my worst Bond alongside A View to A Kill).Also want to note I completely agree with your assessment of Timothy Dalton: he was a superb Bond who unfortunately because of legal wranglings never got to that crucial third movie (Goldfinger and The Spy Who Loved Me defined Connery's and Moore's Bonds and were their third films).
Chris, I have never seen any of the Daniel Craig Bond films and I was wondering, after seeing your reviews on Bond Films, can you skip Quantum of Solis, or is it necessary to understand Specter?
+jekyll hirsi Why do people like skyfall? He appears to be dead and then miraculously comes back to life with no explanation of how. Total bollocks. Also it got boring in places.
These are 6 of my favorite bond movies ! 06-Casino Royale 05-Goldeneye 04-Licence to Kill 03-On Her Majesty's Secret Service 02-The Spy Who Loved Me 01-Thunderball
1. Dr. No 2. Goldeneye 3. The Living Daylights 4. Skyfall 5. The Man With the Golden Gun Tim Dalton is vastly underrated. Moore's long run killed Bond, Dalton's turn was a too-soon resurrection.
Chris, it's as if you had completely picked my brain and copied my list of favorite Bond films. Identical. For me, Casino Royale is actually among my favorite top 5 movies of all time. There's nothing I don't like about it. And I'm just now seeing this video for the first time at the end of 2014. Keep it up! And let's hope that Spectre will be as phenomenal as CR and Skyfall!

I'm just glad that you picked five actual great Bond films. Not my personal top 5, but a great top 5 non-the-less My personal top 5 is: 1. Casino Royale 2. The Living Daylights 3. From Russia With Love 4. For Your Eyes Only 5. On Her Majesty's Secret Service But hey, it's my opinion, for whatever it's worth.
Casino Royale was like a drug, I mean I watched that movie religiously every night for about half a year. Crazy just how much I love that movie.
Same here.
Bomb La Tour a lot of people did, it’s a masterpiece
and I agree with Stuckkman , its the card game in that movie that makes it so great. Its placed well and really builds makes the movie. and yes Eva Green Li Chiffe do their part.
I love my boyfriend so much, but it drives me crazy he doesn't like Casino Royale. It's so good!
Try fight club, it’ll drive you even more crazy

It's weird to think lol

@@makatron
SAME!

Yep
Dalton's Bond is criminally underrated.
ComicBook Ninja I loved his portrayal. Those two movies are my favorites, along with some best Sean Connery Bond films
I've been saying this for years
During my childhood, the Dalton Bonds were the only ones I could get into. I felt that even the Roger Moore ones from a few years earlier felt too old, somehow. So I kind of see Dalton as the first modern Bond. And License to Kill was the newest Bond film for what seemed like forever, because GE007 took a long time to get off the ground due to massive production issues. When it did, it was clearly worth the wait, but Brosnan didn't sit well with me as Bond. I didn't warm to him until nearly 2 years later when the game GE007 came out. Prior to that, Brosnan was still the smarmy English guy who made Robin Williams miserable in Mrs. Doubtfire.
@@lindenstromberg6859 Clearly the audience was not ready for Dalton as I see more and more people reevaluate his portrayal in a more positive light.
I grew up on the paperbacks in high school and Dalton is by far the closest, physically and emotionally, to Bond in the books. A manic depressive loner, cynical about class and money, but with a few shreds of decency left in him. A thin, cruel mouth, narrow blue eyes, a vague resemblance to Hoagy Carmichael, the whole thing.

Picking five Bond films is next to impossible, but these are currently my top five. It tends to change from month to month.
All of them are good
I kind of agree, except for Goldfinger, but from Russia with love is so good.
I feel really bad for Timothy Dalton and George Lazenby because they got a lot of hate for being replacements for Roger Moore and Sean Connery respectively. I'm sure they could've gotten Sir Laurence Olivier to play the role of James Bond and he still would've been criticized for not being Sean Connery and Roger Moore. Dalton and Lazenby tried their hardest and I can appreciate their efforts.
George Lazenby is literally the worst Bond in the franchise.
Lazenbys Bond movie is good, I don’t think Lazenby’s a great Bond though. Timothy Dalton’s movies are some of the best and as Bond he’s fantastic!!
@@raoulduke1961 Its Wrong To Say George Lazenby Was The Worst Bond , For A Guy With No Previous Acting Experience Stepping into the Shoes Of Sean Connery He Did Ok , If He Had Stayed Around Longer Then He Would Have Become Better..
@@brianjones7907I agree, George Lazenby had a short cameo in "The Return of the Man From UNCLE", playing a character called "JB". It shows how good he could be as Bond given the chance.
janeyrevanescence12 Timothy Dalton didn’t get a chance to continue on for his third movie to be originally released in 1991 as the series was in legal ligation for 6 years from 1989 to 1994 preventing any films from being produced and by the time Goldeneye was in pre production in 1994, Dalton was offered the role to return but by then he was fed up with the delays and was committed to other projects. Executives wanted to offer Dalton a multi picture deal to but Dalton felt at 48 years old in 1994 he was too old to commit to more then one film and resigned. Pierce Brosnan took over the role and Goldeneye was a darker toned film as was written for Dalton specifically.
Casino Royale is like Batman Begins for James Bond
and Skyfall is dark knight

U usually have a good bond girl and a villain and Vesper kinda combined both
Both Vesper and Tracy (from OHMSS) are irreplaceable Bond girls that never deserved to be killed off but obviously had to for the sake of the story.

I can never decide, because I love them all for entirely different reasons.
+Ashley Small i will never figure out how ANYONE likes casino royal xD its basically my most hated movie of ALL time
few things make me rage so hard XD but hey guess some people like it
iunary I liked the down and dirty collisions with the _'bad guys'._ In previous say - Roger Moore movies - Bond would punch each henchman once, adjust his tie, then leave the room unscathed. Craig really got his hands dirty.
I'm also a huge fan of Mads Mikkelsen, who played Le Chiffre perfectly. To each their own though, Iunary.
+FCB 2513 I don't think so. That is a man at the end of his rope (pun intended). He knows he's fucked and will do anything to get that money.
+Ashley Small completely agree on the best Bond front. They are all great in their own right.
+Ashley Small I personally found The Man with the Golden Gun insanely awful. It was pretty much a se-fparody where nothing really happened (and no actually funny stuff happened) - but, like most of the time: To each his/her own.
Connery: His personality was the strongest, and he had the best moments in the series.
Lazenby: Lucky to have gotten a great storyline in his only movie.
Moore: Too lighthearted but he was by far the most "English Bond", elegant and witty.
Dalton: Very faithful to the character in the novels, which strangely hurt him.
Brosnan: Desperately tried to be as tough as Connery and as charming as Moore.
Craig: Wouldn't consider him the best, but definitely the most "realistic" 007.
Lazenby quite literally pulled a bond on the producers and convinced them he was an action movie star while saying he starred in movies that never expected.
Brosnan was the funniest Bond, always joking about a kill and annoying Q. "Don't touch that. It's my lunch."
disagree with all of that
10: For Your Eyes Only (A forgotten gem)
9: License to Kill (Massively underrated and ahead of its time)
8: Octopussy (A Hitchcockian mystery)
7: Skyfall (One of the most creative films in the series that perfectly mixes fan service with great suspense)
6: From Russia With Love (Bond's unknowing cat-and-mouse with Quint from Jaws is the best spy thriller in the series)
5: Goldeneye (Bond's arrival into the 1990s manages to balance humor and serious tension)
4: The Spy Who Loved Me (Nobody does it better)
3: On Her Majesty's Secret Service (The film that would be #1 if Sean Connery was paid that cash money)
2: Casino Royale (The return to realism is a breath of fresh air)
1: Goldfinger (53 years later, and they're still trying to top it)
Goldfinger was my favorite, and had the best theme song too. It was so classy

Chris -- I smiled to myself when you chose 'Casino' over 'Skyfall'. I think 'Skyfall' is an absolutely terrific film, and THE most beautifully shot, but I don't think it quite warrants being listed so often as topping 'Casino'. So thank you!

I know most people think you'd have to be on bath salts to put Roger Moore in a top 5 but Live and Let Die was strange, different, and had the best over the top villain deaths of any of the Bond movies. Plus one of the best theme songs!
Roger Moore is by far my favourite Bond
I wouldn't say best...(Connery and Craig kick Moore's ass any day) but Moore is like Tony Romo. He gets a lot more hate than he should but really he's quite alright.

I love live and let die. Watched it over and over when I was about 7 years old. Planned to search for Jane Seymore and marry her when I grew up. Never worked out! 😢
I loved live and let die ♥️ ! Roger Moore at his best !
Craig is and will always be the defining interpretation of Bond for me. Obviously there have been other great actors who played the character and there will be more great actors who play him in the future but I seriously doubt if any of them will beat out Craig for me. The defining interpretation of the character for me atleast.
Fred Jaminson "defining interpretation of Bond FOR ME". Learn how to fucking read. Connery was before my time. Great iconic movies but they are dated.
Sean38529 The mumbling, uncharismatic, unattractive, unintelligent, ungadgeted, regular spy who went from youngster to burned out in literally one movie? The only iteration who doesn't fit with the classic theme? Oh yeah. *clap clap clap* Bond. James Bond.
DarthRushy Ok dude
aydooknow The Bond franchise was dying because no one could figure out what Pierce Brosnan's Bond was supposed to be. Ever since Roger Moore, it was chaos. Plus, they devolved into generic action flicks.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with the classic formula and it could easily still work today.
Craig did save the franchise, but that doesn't make his acting any better. He makes Lazenby look like Laurence Olivier.
DarthRushy you sound like quite the expert. You can sit behind your keyboard and cry and reminisce about the old days while the rest of us go and see what is probably going to be a great bond film.
My personal top 5:
1. Goldfinger
2. From Russia With Love
3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
4. The Living Daylights
5. The Spy Who Loved Me
No love for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"? If ever there was an under rated Bond film that was it. And it is actually the one in which a girl gets to Bond's heart for the first time. It also has one of the coolest action themes of any Bond film.
+Nelson Smith Crazy that it didn't make the list. Makes me think stuckmann has no heart.
it also has the suckiest portrail of Bond
Secret Service is an +A!!!
If you watch Lazenby's performance, it's not bad at all, it's a shame he didn't get a chance to do another Bond film, but the script for Diamond's Are Forever was so bad, it's probably just as well that he didn't.
+Nelson Smith
Since Brad Jones is a big fan of Lazenby, seeing him as the best Bond, I heard enough of him to disagree to your last statement.
Seemingly he did get the chance to play another Bond, it was his decision not too.
Seemingly due to the rise of the 69 peace movement his agent though the time of characters like James Bond was over and he advised Lazenby to quit the part.
Brad Jones aside to me it always seemed that since he only played Bond once people figured he must have been bad at it and he became largely known and accepted as worst Bond largely unrelated to his actual performance. At least that's the way humans tend to think and act.
YES! License to Kill is awesome! The ones I'd put for my top five are: Goldeneye, License to Kill, Spy Who Loved Me, From Russia With Love, and Casino Royale.
everyone rags on the roger moore era of bond, but i grew up through that and it fit with the times. the world was a happier place, and we all laughed a lot more back then, and his one liners were loads of fun to watch for the first time and there were always huge roars of laughter through the theatre. i always used to leave the theatre laughing at it, talking about the fim with my mates having enjoyed a great night out. nowadays i never experience that same emotion. all the films nowadays are bleak, which i suppose is a reflection on the world we now live in. i leave the cinema thinking "meh". so to judge his films by todays standards, where everyone is unhappy, grumpy and self absorbed is misguided. he did a great job at the time, and the box office receipts from those days back that up. that said, i think daniel craig is terrific, and will leave hard shoes to fill.
+waldo pepper
I grew up with the Moore movies too-- so I'll always have a soft spot for them. Except for Moonraker.
+waldo pepper so right! Roger was great for the times we lived in..having a laugh was a big part of the movie..and we laughed along with it..
Moore’s movies are so fun to watch
Moore was a caricature of Bond.
Millenials rag on everything that came before they were born. That's why this guy has only 1 Connery film Goldfinger ranked last on his list and no Moore films and BTW the spy who loved me is one of the best bond films period. The other day another millenial guy made a Rocky list and he put Rocky 2 and 3 as last on his list and Rocky Balboa as #1. This is what they do.
I always loved, "The world isn't enough." it worked with so many of the tropes, especially love M being more then just a bit part, the villians, just so much.
I do like that one. Not one of the best, but enjoyable. The Bond girl (NOT Denise Richards; Sophia Marceau) was absolutely beautiful.
+wolf wing Eh. It's okay.
thats my favorite. not the best ill admit but it was my first bond movie when i was a kid and ive loved it since
+wolf wing Agreed. The World is Not Enough is a flawed movie but it definetly isnt as bad as the likes of Die Another Day, A View to a Kill and Moonraker. I think everyone can agree (Chris included) that Goldeneye was Pierce Brosnan's only truly great Bond movie. Tomorrow Never Dies was a serious step down and Die Another Day was just crap. The World is not enough was good and an improvement over Tomorrow Never Dies but it definetly isnt as good as Goldeneye. I think what TWINE suffers from is its incredibly confusing plot. Other than that its fine. Well Zukosky's stupid henchman and those ridiculous parahawks and chainsaw helicopters too.
+irish91ify yeah it has it's rediculous stuff :> But I just enjoy M being more then a information dump at the start/end, same reason I really liked her in the early craig films :> She plays a part in them.

I've watched most of the Bond movies but none of the others really stick out in my mind when I "list" them. Personally, the best Bond was Pierce Brosnan. There was just an elegance to him that no other actor brought to the role. I might be biased because I grew up with him too but he seemed the closest to the Bond in the novels. And Xenia Onatopp? What a villain. Shame Pierce's Bond run didn't have more of the same quality. That tends to happen with Bond movies in general.

HM: On her Majesty's secret service, The spy who loved me, You only live twice.
James Bond & Le Chifre.
(Played By: Daniel Craig & Mads Mikkelsen)
Casino Royale was a fantastic movie and the best I’ve scene in my 26 years.
The parkour scene was eloquent and provided a nice dash of action, early, into the film.
‘A Poker Match’ was very stylish of an idea for the major themes of the drama to play out in. In one particular instance, Bond returns to the game well-dressed & composed after nearly having been poisoned to death w/ a sly one-liner; “That last hand, nearly killed me”. Also, no one can forget the exceedingly long car crash incident; nor the torture scene.
Times are bound to change, as is only inevitable, but it’s going to take an immensely spectacular flick to surpass this one, and ‘Skyfall’, not to mention, didn’t even come close for me.
As times change and Robots and AI take a leading role in society, it’ll be interesting to see how, and/or if, the Bond Saga will continue; and if it does, in what ways it’ll undoubtedly be transformed.
In the meantime, I’m eagerly awaiting “No Time To Die”, Daniel Craig’s last shot to fully cement his legacy atop the throne of ‘James Bond’ actors.
I can’t wait to see it!

Well expressed, Chris. My #1 favorite Bond film is 'Goldfinger' but that is partly explained by the fact it was my first Bond film and one which I saw during its initial release. Experiences like that, espescially if they're as iconic as 'Goldfinger', tend to imprint themselves in your DNA. And for me that experience was pure movie magic. I had similarly memorable experiences with 'The Exorcist', '2001', 'The Godfather', 'Cuckoo's Nest', 'Jaws', 'Alien', 'Bladerunner', 'Silence Of The Lambs', various Hitchcock and Lynch films, and too many others to list here. But if I had to choose a single Bond film as the finest in terms of all levels of cinematic artistry, my choice would be 'Casino' which completely blew me away, leaving me shaken AND stirred. And, much as I will always adore Connery, I have to say Craig, in 'Casino', gave the single finest performance of any actor in that role. And Eva Greene gives the finest performance of any of the Bond women, with Diana Rigg a close second. Which brings me to the other Bond film in my personal top echelon -- 'Majesty's' -- not withstanding the sometimes unduly harsh critiques about Lazenby's performance. (NOTE: Your mention of Vesper -- being the only woman who ever really got to Bond emotionally is not really true in light of him having married and then tragically lost Tracy in 'OHMSS'.)

Actually, the first woman to touch Bond's heart was Teresa Draco in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (although, I'll admit, the Daniel Craig films seem to screw with the James Bond timeline).
Casion Royale is the one of the first Ian Fleming novels, so technically in the books Vesper is the first women to touch Bond's heart, as you may not have noticed that James Bond in Casino Royale has only recently reached 00 status further reinforcing my point.
I did notice he was not 00 yet in Casino Royale. However, the movies messed up the timeline for me. I always thought it was the death of Teresa Draco that made him cold and closed-off. I really need to read the books one of these days.

69johndz the Craig movies are on a rebooted timeline. They’re not connected to any of the prior movies
@@EditedAF987 I was confused about that. Yeah...sometimes I wasn't sure if this was a continuation or a reboot...or a re-imagining. Films are so confusing these days, LOL.
My top favourite Bond movies:
1) Casino Royale.
2) Skyfall.
3) On her majesty's secret service.
4) The living daylights.
5) From Russia with love.
Haven't you rather underrated Dr No and From Russia With Love?
Those two movies were good for their day -- but they've dated badly. Watch them again, you'll see.
DR. NO -- He climbs through an air-shaft big enough for an elephant, then a flood of water threatens to wash him away and he must hold on for dear life; then he climbs out of the air-shaft into a computer room--- [record scratch]--- wait, this air-shaft that opens onto a computer room has a FLOOD OF WATER going through it at regular intervals? I mean, what the fuck, dude?!
FROM RUSSIA -- that last fight scene looks like an unrehearsed ballet between two people who don't know how to dance. Who choreographed this fight? Billy from third grade?
@@jondunmore4268 Shame on you. Dr. No & From Russia with Love still hold up very well in my book.
@@calql8er -- Well if you like air conditioning shafts that also shoot water all over your computers, and a villain that takes out of his pocket the one copy of a film reel he is going to use to blackmail Bond AND a letter indicting Bond, just to show Bond that he has them and-- Spock Chop-- destroyed. Great plotting, Maibaum.
I don't hold any malice against the two movies, Moneypenny m'dear, but I am a Bond aficionado who knows what's what in the Bond universe...
@@jondunmore4268 You aren't the only one. The Bonds are not perfect. Yul Brynner should have been Blofeld and Jack Lord or David Hedison should have been Felix. If your criticism is they are 'dated,' perhaps a bit. But then again so is Casablanca.
@@calql8er -- CASABLANCA sucks (but that's another rant)... Yul Brynner as Blofeld - you won't get any argument from me! Although out of all the Blowies, Donald Pleasance was the absolute scariest.
And I'm sure you know that Jack Lord AND David Hedison were both Felix, but I think you mean as a permanent casting (right?) rather than 8 different actors portraying Felix over the years...like I would have preferred the chilling Pleasance as Blofeld forever.
Here's mine:
1. License to Kill

My favorites:
1. Goldeneye
2. Goldfinger
3. Casino Royale

I started loving bond from the Goldeneye 007 Video game on N64 of course.
Respect, I bow down to you sir. Massive bond fan, read the first 3 of Ian Fleming's novels and have saw all of the movies and my personal stance is that Timothy Dalton is a massively underrated bond and, in my opinion, he is the only bond that I have ever seen who didn't have a movie that I didn't like, but the rest of your list is as close to perfect as could be.
01. Casino Royale
02. Goldfinger
03. GoldenEye
04. You Only Live Twice
05. Thunderball
06. Tomorrow Never Dies
07. SkyFall

My top 5
1. Golden Eye (HE HAS A TANK, THIS MAN COULD TAKE AN ARMY WITH A SINGLE PISTOL LET ALONE A TANK)
2. Goldfinger (nothing needs to be said)
3. License To Kill (just love this movie no pure reason)
4. Skyfall (great story, probably my favorite)
5. Die another Day (First bond movie I ever saw and while I know it's not the best I still get nostalgia from it)
Well, with Goldfinger, it's not a perfect movie; there are many issues with it. Not saying it's not good, but it's not excellent because of silly plot holes
Any old Bond film pales in comparison to the greatness that is Casino Royale and Skyfall.
24. Quantom of Solace

Really likes your video and list of James Bond. I totally agree with it. I've watched several of your videos and I really like them. I love movies! I'd like to start doing something like this on TH-cam. Don't really know where to start. Do you have any pointers or suggestions?
I'm glad to see that you're a Bond fan, Chris! I wonder how accurate this list is to your opinion today. I know Casino Royale is still your favorite, but has some of this changed even a little bit? Anyway, here's my personal ranking of all 24 Bond films (including Spectre) from worst to best:
The Film I Hate:
24. Die Another Day (PB, 2002) - 0.5/10 (One of the worst films I have ever seen in my life.)
The Films I Dislike:
23. Thunderball (SC, 1965) - 3.5/10
22. Tomorrow Never Dies (PB, 1997) - 4.0/10
21. Quantum Of Solace (DC, 2008) - 4.0/10
The Films I Think Range From A Mixed Bag To Actually Pretty Decent:
20. You Only Live Twice (SC, 1967) - 5.5/10
19. The World Is Not Enough (PB, 1999) - 6.0/10
18. For Your Eyes Only (RM, 1981) - 6.5/10
The Films I Genuinely Like:
17. Diamonds Are Forever (SC, 1971) - 7.5/10
16. License To Kill (TD, 1989) - 7.0/10 (I'm sorry. I enjoyed License To Kill, but I had a couple of really big problems with it that keep me from loving it. I, too, think it's maybe a little bit underrated (it's usually just written off as blah or just okay by most Bond fans), but it's still flawed nonetheless in my opinion. I still think it's good though.)
15. Moonraker (RM, 1979) - 8.5/10 (*Shrugs* I really like it. :3)
14. A View To A Kill (RM, 1985) - 8.0/10 (I think it's really underrated.)
13. The Man With The Golden Gun (RM, 1974) - 8.5/10 (Also incredibly underrated.)
The Films I Absolutely Love:
12. Dr. No (SC, 1962) - 9.5/10
11. GoldenEye (PB, 1995) - 9.0/10 (I'm not a big Pierce Brosnan fan (if you couldn't already tell), but this is the one film of his that I think truly stands out. Plus, this was my first Bond film, so I naturally do have a bit of a soft spot for it.)
10. Spectre (DC, 2015) - 8.5/10 (It does have some flaws, but I still think it's a very good Bond film and I loved it.)
9. From Russia With Love (SC, 1963) - 9.0/10
8. The Living Daylights (TD, 1987) - 8.5/10
7. Octopussy (RM, 1983) - 9.5/10 (I think it's the most underrated Bond film of all time. Half of Bond fans either don't really care for this or think it's good but not great at best. I personally think it's fantastic.)
6. Live And Let Die (RM, 1973) - 9.5/10 (If the the pointless Rosie character was cut out, it would easily get a 10.)
5. Goldfinger (SC, 1964) - 10/10 (A pure masterpiece. Probably the best Bond film for an upcoming fan to start on.)
4. The Spy Who Loved Me (RM, 1977) - 9.5/10 (If the villain was a little stronger, it would've easily gotten a 10.)
3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (GL, 1969) - 9.5/10 (If it was either Connery or Moore instead it could put up a strong fight for my absolute favorite Bond film.)
2. Skyfall (DC, 2012) - 10/10 (An absolute cinematic phenomenon.)
1. Casino Royale (DC, 2006) - 10/10 (YES! You and I have the same favorite Bond film! For me, Casino Royale is the definitive Bond film, the greatest action film I have ever seen and easily makes my top 50 favorite films OF ALL TIME! Just nothing short of a marvel in cinema.)
My Personal Ranking Of The Bonds:
6. George Lazenby
5. Pierce Brosnan
I really love all the other four. It was very hard to order them.
4. Timothy Dalton
3. Sean Connery
2. Daniel Craig
1. Roger Moore (It was kind of obvious.)
It's funny how my two favorite Bond actors are the ones that are the most polar opposite.
Loved View To A Kill. LOVED IT. It's so weird that it's good.
My top 5 takes one from each actor:
5. The Living Daylights
4. Goldeneye
3. Skyfall
2. Spy Who Loved Me
1. Goldfinger
My favorites are:
1. Goldeneye
2.die another day(huge guilty pleasuere)
3.casino royale (have my favorite bond song to)
4.Goldfinger
5. Live and let die./the world is not enough.
'The film that started bond' errh From Russia With Love exists and is generally regarded as one of the absolute best bonds
FRWL, OHMSS, FYEO, and LTK are spy movies, and the best ones.
@@aleksanderhiller7506 They are some of my favorite Bond movies. Generally the more spying and figuring stuff out Bond does the more I like the movies. When they try to turn it into an explosion laden action movie like a Die Hard flick is when I don't enjoy them as much. A little action here and there is obviously necessary but is not what the series should focus on at all IMHO.
And let’s not forget Dr. No, which was the one that actually started silly Bond Girl names with Honey Rider. People tend to forget just how much started in that movie.
1: Casino Royale 2: Skyfall 3: Licence to Kill After that it's hard to choose between Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, OHMSS, For Your Eyes Only, and The Living Daylights.
GoldenEye is my favourite Bond film. Brosnan balanced the action and quips very well and is my all time favorite Bond actor as well as the Bond of my childhood. 006 is my favourite villain ever in anything and Sean Bean hits it out of the park!
And the best Bond girl is Tracy di Vicenzo.
Laatikkomafia No.
+ImperialGoldfish She was a great bond girl
+Laatikkomafia Diana Rigg's Tracy di Vicenzo was not only sexy, but she was classy. It tugs at my heart strings every time I see her death scene in the end of OHMSS.
+Laatikkomafia She's amazing, but I think she's decent. Vesper for the win.
+Laatikkomafia Although i like Tracy, I give it to Tatiana Romanova!
My Top 5 though would be -
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
The Spy Who Loved Me
Casino Royale
Skyfall
Goldfinger
My top 5 in no particular order:
Goldeneye
Thunderball
Goldfinger
License to Kill
Casino Royale
I agree
Agreed - opening scene to closing credits. Casino Royale is perfect.
Mine would be:
5: License To Kill
4: On Her Majesty's Secret Service
3: Goldfinger
2: GoldenEye
1: Casino Royale
My top 5:
1. Goldfinger
2. Casino Royale
3. Dr. No
4. GoldenEye
5. From Russia With Love
Most are Sean Connery, but admit it: Connery IS 007.
1. Casino Royale 2. Skyfall 3. Goldfinger 4.For Your Eyes Only 5. License To Kill
5. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
4. Goldeneye
3. License to Kill
2. From Russia With Love
1. Casino Royale
Licence to Kill is an amazing film. The introduction, where the Wedding March segues into the theme song is just mind-blowing and brings me to tears every time I hear it. Divi is a great villain, Carey Lowell is gorgeous and Q has his greatest part. It is the first hard Bond and I love it.
Mine is probably
1: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
2. Goldfinger
3. Casino Royale (Daniel Craig version)
4. You only live twice
5. GoldenEye
Honourable mention to moonraker: the ultimate guilty pleasure.
Good list, and I agree about what you say about the movies, the actors and the constant shifting between seriousness and campiness in the series. I see you tend to enjoy the darker and more serious films, and I do as well. It would be hard for me to pick a favourite, but I would definitely include Goldfinger, GoldenEye, Casino Royale and Skyfall in my top five. I agree that Licence to Kill is underrated, but I wouldn't go as far as placing it in my top five. I actually think The Living Daylights is a notch better. I suppose my fifth pick would stand between The Spy Who Loved Me, and Spectre, which came out after this review. TSWLM is like the perfect "Adventure Bond", and it's perhaps the movie that unites the fun and romance with the mystery and seriousness in the best way, not to mention that Barbara Bach is so hot that I almost ... Well, you know. Spectre is the darkest of all the Bond films; it doesn't have ANY campiness, not much humour, and it just looks bleak. I can also understand why people find it a bit slow. For my part, I like slow, and I really like the mystery and very much enjoy the dark and melancholic soundtrack, as well as the awesome production, and realistic scenes. And it has Blofeld in the form of Christoph Waltz!
I have a definite top four, number five i'm not so sure about.
1. Skyfall
2. Casino Royale
3. From Russia with Love
4. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
5. Dr No / The Spy Who Loved Me / Licence to Kill
Worst five.
19. Diamonds Are Forever
20. Octopussy
21. Moonraker
22. A View to a Kill
23. Die Another Day
I like "A View to a Kill" It's not perfect, but it's not the worst. My least favourite is "Diamonds are Forever"
Top 5 James Bond movies
1. Goldfinger(Favorite Sean Connery)
2. Casino Royale(Favorite Daniel Craig)
3. Goldeneye(Favorite Pierce Brosnan)
4. License To Kill(Favorite Timothy Dalton)
5. The Spy Who Loved Me(Favorite Roger Moore)
1. Casino Royale (2006)
2. From Russia With Love
3. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
4. The Spy Who Loved Me
5. Goldfinger
Poor Roger Moore! You have some great picks in your review, but I would include The Spy Who Loved Me simply because it was Moore's Bond coming of age. After Live and Let Die and The Man With the Golden Gun, it looked like Bond was finished. TSWLM brought back fun and excitement, exotic locales and great action, a great henchman in the Oddjob tradition with Jaws, and of course the first real Bond car since the Aston Martin DB5 in the Lotus Esprit. It was also my first theatrical Bond, having only seen earlier films in the series on TV. In many ways, it was a retread of Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice in many of its motifs, but I thought immensely enjoyable.I would also choose Tomorrow Never Dies over Goldeneye if for no other reason than Michelle Yeoh and the opening sequence where Bond escapes a cruise missile attack on a terrorist weapon exchange. I thought Brosnan was more sure of his characterisation of Bond and it hadn't reached the ridiculous levels of Die Another Day (which ties for my worst Bond alongside A View to A Kill).Also want to note I completely agree with your assessment of Timothy Dalton: he was a superb Bond who unfortunately because of legal wranglings never got to that crucial third movie (Goldfinger and The Spy Who Loved Me defined Connery's and Moore's Bonds and were their third films).
Have you ever considered returning and reviewing the whole franchise film by film?
1. Licence to Kill
2. Skyfall
3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
4. Goldfinger
5. The Living Daylights
I would replace skyfall with casino royale and its spot on mate
1- Casino Royale
2- Goldfinger
3- The Spy Who Loved Me
4- You Only Live Twice
5- Skyfall
All great ones.
Chris, I have never seen any of the Daniel Craig Bond films and I was wondering, after seeing your reviews on Bond Films, can you skip Quantum of Solis, or is it necessary to understand Specter?
1. Goldfinger
2. Casino Royale
3. Dr. No
4. Skyfall
5. For your eyes only
+jekyll hirsi Why do people like skyfall? He appears to be dead and then miraculously comes back to life with no explanation of how. Total bollocks. Also it got boring in places.
dtz1000 wat u mean total bullocks I mean compare it 2 moonraker or diamonds are forever
bollocks
jekyll hirsi which casino royale, the Craig or the Connery one?
SKYFALLLL
This is my opinion
5, From russia with love
4, Goldeneye
3, Casino royal
2, Octopussy
1, Lisence to kill
YES thank you for giving License To Kill the credit it deserves it was my favorite until i saw SKYFALL :)
These are 6 of my favorite bond movies !
06-Casino Royale
05-Goldeneye
04-Licence to Kill
03-On Her Majesty's Secret Service
02-The Spy Who Loved Me
01-Thunderball
My top 6 are. License to Kill, On her Majesty Secret Service, Goldeneye, Skyfall, Goldfinger and number 1 The Spy who loved me.
Timothy Dalton = best bond ever
Craig
Brosnan
I don't know who's the best but i think Dalton is definitely better than Moore, and possibly Lazenby
Andy Byrne Agreed. He had such a deep portrayal of Bond, while kicking a lot of ass. His Bond films were absolute gold.
very unpopular opinion
1. Skyfall
2. Goldeneye
3. Casino Royale
4. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
5. The Living Daylights
from russia with love had a fight scene that was ahead of its time
Your Shawn Connery impression made me laugh! "OMG I must be dreaming!"
1. Dr. No
2. Goldeneye
3. The Living Daylights
4. Skyfall
5. The Man With the Golden Gun
Tim Dalton is vastly underrated. Moore's long run killed Bond, Dalton's turn was a too-soon resurrection.
Chris, it's as if you had completely picked my brain and copied my list of favorite Bond films. Identical. For me, Casino Royale is actually among my favorite top 5 movies of all time. There's nothing I don't like about it. And I'm just now seeing this video for the first time at the end of 2014. Keep it up! And let's hope that Spectre will be as phenomenal as CR and Skyfall!
+Max Baker IKR...same as me I consider Casino Royale one of my favorite films of all time.It's brilliant from start to finish.
Bruh. Stuckman sounds like a high school parody of himself. Did he have a retainer?
I miss his old background. It's very high school but I love it.
My Top 5 Bond Movies-
Goldfinger
Diamonds Are Forever
Goldeneye/Tomorrow Never Dies
Casino Royale
