#24 You know your Bond movie is in trouble when even Sir Roger Moore thinks the invisible car is too silly.

Guys thank you for putting this list together. Jealous I wasn’t there with you guys to talk about it with you, lol. Thank you!

Using a 5 point scale for 14 Bondian elements (villain, action, look etc) I added them up and the resulting rank seemed reasonable to me: 1) The Spy Who Loved Me 62 2) Goldeneye 59 3) Goldfinger 59 4) On Her Majesty’s Secret Service 58 5) Tomorrow Never Dies 58 6) Moonraker 57 7) You Only Live Twice 56 8) Casino Royale 54 9) From Russia with Love 52 10) Skyfall 48 11) The World is Not Enough 48 12) Octopussy 46 13) Live and Let Die 45 14) A View to a Kill 45 15) License to Kill 44 16) The Man with the Golden Gun 42 17) Die Another Day 42 18) The Living Daylights 42 19) For Your Eyes Only 41 20) Thunderball 41 21) No Time to Die 40 22) Quantum of Solace 40 23) Dr. No 38 24) Diamonds Are Forever 33 25) Spectre 33 26) Never Say Never Again 31

I really enjoyed this. A total Bond nerd too. I love how you all delve deep into each film. I disagree here and there but I can see your arguments. Off to part 2.

I love this podcast so much. I discovered it late in quarantine as a Bond fan. But this is fantastic. I hope they get together again and do another Bond podcast. Possibly another Bondathon 10 years later or something.

The opening chase in Quantum is the best chase I've seen in any film.

Great job. Second time listening, and I expect this video will continue to get many views over the years. I agree with Bob’s rankings the most!

Great set of review videos. 👍 Reviewing the entire series while trapped indoors with Covid. Cheers me immensely

The chase on the roofs in QOS is actually in my top 5 bond scenes, love the score and hand-to-hand combat

This was so great I really enjoyed this and agreed with all the points brought up

1- Goldfinger (1964) 2- Casino Royale (2006) 3- Goldeneye (1995) 4- From Russia With Love (1963) 5- The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) 6- Dr No (1962) 7- License to Kill (1989) 8- Skyfall (2012) 9- On Her Majesty Secret Service (1969) 10- You Only Live Twice (1967) 11- Live and Let Die (1973) 12- The World is Not Enough (1999) 13- Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) 14- The Living Daylights (1987) 15- For Your Eyes Only (1981) 16- Spectre (2015) 17- Octopussy (1983) 18- The Man With The Golden Gun (1974) 19- Moonraker (1979) 20- Thunderball (1965) 21- A View to a Kill (1985) 22- Die Another Day (2002) 23 - Quantum of Solace (2008) 24- Diamonds are Forever (1971) 25- Never say Never Again (1983) 26- Casino Royale (1967)

I have three favorite actors, Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore, Sean Connery, and Timothy Dalton. In that order. The first three are the best Bonds.

World is not enough was pretty good!

Good job!

A well-done & fun discussion! I feel like the fanbase in general has been sleeping on The World Is Not Enough. I'd rate it #13 out of 25. It's an easy one to underestimate, but is also one of the darkest & most grim Bond movies. Plus, it lays the groundwork for all the best aspects of Craig's era (same writers).

Yeah during the movie You Only Live Twice and after returning to Diamonds Are Forever, you could see right away that Connery's Bond days were quickly and sadly ending.

Spectre was the one film that could genuinely have been the best in the series, given the premise, and it turned out to be the biggest missed opportunity.

I'm back: 21: this one is low on my scale too. It flips back and forth year to year for me. Denise Richards I agree is the down side of this film. I like the storyline and the mission briefing scenes. Opening scene is good. The villain and henchmen I thought were weak. It's the only Brosnan I didn't see in theaters. And I agree this is Brosnan's worst acting performance. I like the twist with Elektra. 20: you guys are killing me haha. DAF is my 5th favorite. I love the Vegas local. It's a fun film. My favorite scene is the climbing outside the casino. The ambiance in that scene is great. Love the score. I love it's opening as a connection to YOLT. The bad guys are great: Wint Kidd Blofeld...You can see how psychotic they are right up there with Javier Bardem. The only thing I dislike is the end. The whole oil platform sucks. Too anticlimactic. 19: I didn't think this movie was amazing but I thought it's way better than 19/20. You guys will probably hate me but I like QOS slightly better than SPECTRE. What I like most about this film is a return to the old atmosphere of the Connery/Lazenby films. I don't know where their going with this film. I hope they aren't going to redo the oldies like DN/FRWL/GF etc. I wish they connected with Quantum in an earlier film. Loved Christopher waltz, thought they brought out the psychotic Blofeld well. I don't mind his relationship to Bond. Liked the Goldfinger car and other old connectors. Is the black man at the S.P.E.C.T.R.E table Kananga? The woman Irma Bunt or Rosa Klebb? In the closing credits one of the baddies at the table is "Francisco" :O I really dislike the handgun taking out the helicopter :p

Love all of them. My response to your rankings: 25: Love the opera scene also! Didn't like the airplane scene and ending hotel scene. I had QOS very low like you guys until I started watching it back to back with Casino as 1 film. Try it. That's the only way I watch them now. 24: Worst bond film. Horrible dialogue. Everything's a quip. Lee Tomahori directed xxx 2 same style. Crappy film. Love the Cuban and Hong Kong scenes. 23: Walken saves this film. Roger looks great for his age but you could tell he was done with it. He does not look too old. No more than Connery in DAD and NSNA. I think people say this because it's popular too just like the whistle in TMWTGG jump scene. It doesn't ruin either. I don't even notice it. Walken though is awesome. The cave scene is lame. Favorite opening titles scene. 22: This film is underrated. Goodnight is my favorite Bond girl. The reason this film is better than 22 is because Bond is actually on a direct mission. The assassin theme is great. It's a dark Roger Moore. I like the tough Moore edge. Lee and Herve are great. The car jump is pretty cool despite the whistle. Not ruined come on you just say that because it feels good too. Again love the dark side of Moore in this. These first two and TMWTGG are the most debated Bond films. I'll be back...

In my opinion, Quantum of Solace is better film than: A View to a Kill, Moonraker, Die Another Day and Diamonds are Forever.

25. Spectre 24. Diamonds are Forever 23. Die Another Day 22. Quantum of Solace 21. Tomorrow Never Dies 20. Man with the Golden Gun 19. View to a Kill 18. World is Not Enough

My response to your ranking: 25: I like it a bit I don't like elements of earth action scene thing The Bond girl was... unnatural she was uncomfortable to watch The ginger lady was alright that goldfinger reference was bad It was melodramatic and the locations were great the chases as Well the opera scene is gorgeous boat scene is good and also The hotel room scene was brilliantly filmed gorgeous cinema- -tography it was good 6/10 24: The first half was better and Die_Another_Day song was #*%+ The script is so bad for example ROSAMOND: name? HALLE: ( says some weird name says she is a space agent ) ROSAMOND: space? I bet James explained to you his big BANG theory? HALLE: I think I got the THRUST of it. The ice palace is crap enough said 4/10 23: It was OK I did like it but it was a bit boring It was very weird the Eiffel Tower scene was Awkward it's not so bad so I can give it no more than 7/10 22: A very underrated one I really like it and a great structure it is A good one I am going to give this a good score I LOVE KNICK-KNACK 8/10 21: This is actually a pretty good bond film Good action, Good acting, ( From Sophie Marceau ) And Christmas jones isn't that bad I like her she's good Definitely not Brosnan's best his second to bottom But I like it definitely worth a watch for Sophie Marceau And the villain is great love the final scene 8/10 20: Wahoo, I am a big fan of this I have a good story here goes When I was 8 years old I had the James Bond collection ( I still do have the collection ) and I had seen them all up to on her majesty's secret service and we saw that. Next was one that sounded good. I decided to look at the disc when I was about to watch it. I saw the trailer and everything and I opened the page with the disc and I saw Diamonds Are Forever 12. It was 12. But we convinced my dad so yeah! 9/10 19: This is great! Very convoluted, but entertaining! 9/10

The hate for The World Is Not Enough is too unbearable for me!

Blofeld ranking 5 Charles Gray's 4 Max Von Sydow 3 Christoph Waltz 2 Telly Savalas 1 Donald Pleasence

Ok Brad and company. I am going to run this by you guys because I think it's a legit issue. That being the psychology of the fans. Ok like most of you I started watching Bond early. I saw my 1st Bond film Dr No around 4-5 years old on tv. Loved it and over the years I saw all of them on tv growing up except the Daltons. I didn't see the Daltons until my 20s. I saw the Brosnans and Craig's as they came out. With that being said, there's a lot of criticism of the older Bonds as being cheesy especially Moore. And this is my point: Bond has never been bonehead cheesy. Sure tongue in cheek humor but not campy. So where did the camp come from? Here's my psychological theory: When we were growing up Connery Lazenby and Moore were proverbially the shit. Men of men. Bad ass. For you guys Dalton was too. But for me Daltons villains were lame but I think that's because I saw those when I was older 20 years after they came out and I wish I saw them younger when they came out. I would like them more but as I've watched them over the years they've grown on me. We saw the Brosnans when we were older and Craig's so they have the same connotation as the old ones when we were young. But as we got older the older films started seeming campy. Why? 2 reasons: 1) each film is made for it's era and in its era wasnt cheese. Also I think as we get older we want Moore reality (pun intended). 2) and this is the big one: Austin Powers. Bond was never campy until Austin. Only after did everyone see the old Bonds and even Brosnan as goofy. (Take note: Austin is a really well done 1967 Casino Royale. Make that connection with YOLT issues) This is why they transformed Bond with Craig. They needed to give Bond the hard edge again that was erased by Mike Meyers. In fact Craig said Austin Powers ruined Bond. Some of you mentioned that you didn't rate these films based on your childhood nostalgia but that is exactly what you should include because thats actually part of the objectivity of the effect of the era they came out in, which had effect on you. Ok. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Die Another day is soooooo bad. I don't like Quantum all that much, but DAD is just the absolute worst.

Amazing: From Russia with Love, Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me, Octopussy, A View to a Kill, Licence to Kill, Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, Spectre Good: The Man with the Golden Gun, Moonraker, The Living Daylights, The World is Not Enough, Casino Royale mediocre: Dr. No, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Skyfall, No Time to Die Bad: Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever Very bad: On Her Majesty Secret Service, For Your Eyes Only, Die Another Day (Catastrophe)

Spectre is Fanstastic

The man with the golden gun is the best! I've been to the island in Thailand (in my pic)

I wonder how you (mathematically) you arrived at the ratings. How for instance was DAD at 24 when none of you had rated it that low individually. I don't doubt it's correct I just wonder.🤔 I love the ranking though and the discussion. I'm a Bond geek and love hearing about how other people perveive the movies we all know and love 🙄

The World is Not Enough being 21 already makes this list kinda bogus

One part of TWINE that always bugged me but nobody ever talks about: Bond killing Davidov. It feels very off. For one thing we know hardly anything about the guy. Bond knows hardly anything about the guy or what he’s up to. I don’t feel like he deserved to die and Bond had no reason to kill him in that moment

Diamonds Are Forever at 19 is too high and You gave The Man With The Golden Gun a 1 out 10? Come on now.

1. Octopussy (1983) 2. Casino Royale (2006) 3. On Her Majesty‘s Secret Service (1969) 4. For Your Eyes Only (1981) 5. The Living Daylights (1987) 6. Live And Let Die (1973) 7. GoldenEye (1995) 8. You Only Live Twice (1967) 9. Goldfinger (1964) 10. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) 11. SPECTRE (2015) 12. The World Is Not Enough (1999) 13. Thunderball (1965) 14. Diamonds Are Forever (1971) 15. Dr. No (1962) 16. A View To A Kill (1985) 17. Skyfall (2012) 18. Casino Royale (1954) 19. Moonraker (1979) 20. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) 21. From Russia With Love (1963) 22. Die Another Day (2002) 23. Never Say Never Again (1983) 24. The Man With The Golden Gun (1974) 25. Quantum Of Solace (2008) 26. Casino Royale (1967) 27. Licence To Kill (1989)

You should have done it in video rather than just audio it would have been so much better.

can't argue with that bottom 3

I'm absolutely in the minority here but... both Spectre and TWINE are in my top 5. I adore those films. Throw in some TLD, TB, GE, YOLT and you have my favourite movies in the series thus far.

Jesus! The World Is Not Enough number 25 - number23 by someone ?(someone insane apparently) - it’s got the best intro at the Bank and the boat chase - worse Bond film in a franchise of some truly bad films - WTF!!! You all ranking of this single film ruined your overall rankings cause honestly it makes most of you look like you have no idea what is and isn’t a bad film - this one films ranking is BEYOND ridiculous The fact that 3 of you literally rank it last and 2 have it near the top 10 tells me something is way off here with this films overall final ranking on thus film - it ruin your rankings and I can’t take it seriously

My top 2 Bond movies will forever be 1# Goldfinger and 2# OHMSS with the occasional flip flop. I have a few honorable mentions like License to Kill and Thunderball/ Never Say Never Again but all three movies are a country mile behind Goldfinger and OHMSS. I would never try to take on the undertaking of ranking all 25 Bond movies. I think my head would explode.

I feel sad for any Bond Fan that says, Diamonds Are Forever is the first Bond movie he or she ever saw.

Spectre is the worst bond movie, 100%. The only truly bad bond movie

This is just sad.
