Hey yall. Im going to start watching the Bond films again now that I have all of em on Blu Ray. I remember throughout my youth this was a series I always avoided and I dont know why. Guess they just were not appealing to me. Around 2007 when I was still in high school I started to check out a few of the films and eventually got hooked and loved the series ever since. I just wish I watched them in order then. I watched them whenever I got my hands on a VHS or DVD and watched em all out of order which was a bad idea on my part.
Seeing these films many times over now I really must say its the one series where I love most of the films. Most o the Bond films I give a 8, 9 or 10 to. The only two exception are the last two on my list which are the only two I do not care for.
I have given this much thought to make this list but here is my list of Bond films favorite to least. Im just counting the ones from the official series. Put your own list as well.
1. Licence to Kill
2. The World Is Not Enough
3. Casino Royale
4. For Your Eyes Only
5. On Her Majestys Secret Service
6. A View to a Kill
7. From Russia With Love
8. Goldfinger
9. Live and Let Die
10. Die Another Day
11. The Living Daylights
12. GoldenEye
13. Dr. No
14. Tomorrow Never Dies
15. The Spy Who Loved Me
16. Moonraker
17. Spectre
18. Octopussy
19. Skyfall
20. You Only Live Twice
21. Thunderball
22. No Time to Die
23. The Man With the Golden Gun
24. Diamonds Are Forever
25. Quantum of Solace

Thoughts... well, I'm obviously partial to the grittier and or darker Bond movies, with Craig and Dalton getting particularly high marks as well as ultimate downer OHMSS. Ironically I don't care much for Lazenby himself. I'd rank Craig as my favorite Bond, probably followed by Pierce. I've only seen each of the Connery movies once which might explain why they rank kinda mid.

I was pretty late to the party on these and have seen through all of them once so far. I also didn't really find them appealing at first, but I ended up rather enjoying them and look forward to watching them again sometime. I even got a collection set of 5 of the original novels and finished two so far. My order is likely to change around numerous times.
GoldenEye
Casino Royale
Licence to Kill
Skyfall
Goldfinger
From Russia with Love
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
No Time to Die
The Spy Who Loved Me
A View to a Kill
Live and Let Die
The World Is Not Enough
Tomorrow Never Dies
The Man with the Golden Gun
You Only Live Twice
Octopussy
The Living Daylights
Dr. No
Spectre
Thunderball
For Your Eyes Only
Quantum of Solace
Die Another Day
Diamonds Are Forever
Moonraker

Prior to the release of Die Another Day, Entertainment Weekly did their ranking of the first twenty James Bond films (including Never Say Never Again but excluding Casino Royale (1967)), which inspired me to do the same. If I were to rank Die Another Day, it would be somewhere near the bottom. I never ranked the Craig films, as I saw each of his first four only once, and I never saw No Time to Die. From Worst to Best |

Having not watched a fair few of these movies for quite a long time, plus the added fact that my memory isn’t what it once was (thus I’ve forgotten a lot), I have to break up my ranking of the films into separate categories.
These are the Bond films I love the most:
Casino Royale (2006)
GoldenEye (1995)
The Living Daylights (1987)
For Your Eyes Only (1981)
Goldfinger (1964)
Live and Let Die (1973)
These are the Bond films that I like, but not love:
From Russia with Love (1963)
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)
The World Is Not Enough (1999)
Spectre (2015)
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Quantum of Solace (2008)
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
These are the Bond films I don't really remember too much:
Dr. No (1962)
Thunderball (1965)
You Only Live Twice (1967)
Moonraker (1979)
Octopussy (1983)
Never Say Never Again (1983)
These are the Bond films that I dislike the most:
Skyfall (2012)
A View to a Kill (1985)
Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
No Time to Die (2021)
License to Kill (1989)
Die Another Day (2002)

I grew up during the late Moore/Dalton era so I tend to favor especially the Moore films. The Moore and Connery films were a staple of cable tv back then as well, and TBS or AMC (?) used to play marathons at least once a year. I tend to like the less dark films and enjoy the silliness of a lot of the Moore films. Especially the hand to hand fight scenes. Craig has never really appealed to me and I never warmed up to most of Brosnan’s films. I have to admit the time period of the earlier films suits Bond better as the Cold War was in full effect. When I was a kid the Soviets seemed to be a real enemy and we could be lit up on nuclear war at anytime so even the more silly concepts in some of the Bond films helped lighten this tension in my mind as a kid/young teenager.
1. The Spy Who Loved Me
2. For Your Eyes Only
3. Thunderball
4. Moonraker
5. From Russia with Love
6. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
7. The Living Daylights
8. Dr. No
9. Goldfinger
10. Live and Let Die
11. You Only Live Twice
12. Goldeneye
13. The Man with the Golden Gun
14. License to Kill
15. A View to a Kill
16. Diamonds are Forever
17. Octopussy
18. Tomorrow Never Dies
19. Casino Royale
20. The World is Not Enough
21. Skyfall
22. Die another Day
23. Spectre
24. Quantum of Solace
25. No Time to Die
I’d probably fit Never Say Never Again somewhere in the top ten, even though it was a remake of Thunderball the supporting cast was amazing and being a video game nut in the early 80s the global domination game that is played transfixed me when that film came out. I never saw the old Casino Royale so can’t really make an opinion on that one.
