Ranking James Bond Films: #10 – “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” (1969)
Hello, Diana Rigg. I would like to profess my love for you.
Ranking James Bond Films: #11 – “Dr. No” (1962)
There is always something special about the first. In 1962, Ian Fleming’s international spy debuted in Terence Young’s Dr. No. Sean Connery isn’t on the screen to open the movie, but when he introduces himself at the poker table, it is impossible not to go all in.
Ranking James Bond Films: #12 – “For Your Eyes Only” (1981)
The first of five Glen Bond movies is a breathe of fresh air for Roger Moore and the franchise.
Ranking James Bond Films: #13 – “Spectre” (2015)
A rewatch with years of separation and a different appreciation for movie-making makes a world of difference.
Ranking James Bond Films: #14 – “Thunderball” (1965)
The fourth Bond movie in four years, Thunderball starts to show the straining wrinkles that would plague overstuffed Bond movies set to come in the future.
Ranking James Bond Films: #15 – “Never Say Never Again” (1983)
You thought that Sean Connery was done? Nope. He is back. This man gets many sendoffs, but his last is perhaps his best.
Ranking James Bond Films: #16 – “A View To Kill” (1985)
Roger Moore knew he was too old to play Bond, but dammit if he didn’t give it one final go.
Ranking James Bond Films: #17 – “Diamonds Are Forever” (1971)
Diamonds Are Forever won’t stick in your memory forever, but it’ll occupy two hours and give you a bit of a callback to the better bits of Connery as Bond, even if it doesn’t reach the potential peak.
Ranking James Bond Films: #18 – “Live And Let Die” (1973)
There is an argument that the song Live And Let Die by Paul McCartney and The Wings is the greatest Bond theme song ever, but you can’t make that case for the movie.
Ranking James Bond Films: #19 – “Tomorrow Never Dies” (1997)
And yes, I know this is three straight Brosnan films in a row. That says something, doesn’t it?
Ranking James Bond Films: #20 – “Die Another Day” (2002)
Die Another Day was the first Bond movie I ever saw…and nostalgia doesn’t hold up.
Ranking James Bond Films: #21 – “The World Is Not Enough” (1999)
I’m terribly sorry, but Denise Richards drains the swamp with her role in The World Is Not Enough.
Ranking James Bond Films: #22 – “Quantum Of Solace” (2008)
Quantum Of Solace is beyond a stepdown from Craig’s debut film, Casino Royale.
Ranking James Bond Films: #23 – “Octopussy” (1983)
Can we be real? The name of this film stinks.
Ranking James Bond Films: #24 – “You Only Live Twice” (1967)
Alright, we have our first bad Sean Connery James Bond movie. It has happened.
Ranking James Bond Films: #25 – “License To Kill” (1989)
Rather than staying the course and touching up smaller cracks from a solid reboot, director John Glen and Dalton decided to take another sharp turn with License To Kill.
