Ranking James Bond Films: #3 – “From Russia With Love” (1963)
Right from the jump, From Russia With Love feels different. It feels scarier. Bigger.
Ranking James Bond Films: #4 – “The Spy Who Loved Me” (1977)
The Spy Who Loved Me surpassed expectations and stands tall as Roger Moore’s crowning achievement as 007.
Ranking James Bond Films: #5 – “Goldfinger” (1964)
The test case for a successful Bond movie needing a stellar villain begins here, with Goldfinger.
Ranking James Bond Films: #6 – “The Man With The Golden Gun” (1974)
The Man With The Golden Gun throws the viewers into the fray using the same introduction as From Russia With Love: a hitman training other hitmen to be better killers.
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: #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: #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: #24 – “You Only Live Twice” (1967)
Alright, we have our first bad Sean Connery James Bond movie. It has happened.
Ranking James Bond Films: #26 – “Moonraker” (1979)
It’s bad. It’s really bad. It is the worst.
