Vote for Moonraker (1979) rsItems( 1) Moonraker (1979)


Vote for Casino Royal (2006) rsItems( 2) Casino Royal (2006)

Its more real, gritty and a real contender to the bourne series

FATRESS

LightningRider

a REAL james bond for once


Vote for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) 3) On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)

Despite George Lazenby, this is one of the best in the series, with some scenes on par with a Hitchcock thriller. If Connery had done this movie, it probably would have been the best Bond of all time. The Bond girl is a real character instead of a bimbo, there is a compelling love story, and the ending is unforgettable, packing an emotional punch not often seen in Bond films.

If Connery had made this film, it wouldn’t have been nearly as good. In the 1960s, Connery WAS Bond. After he left, the filmmakers were faced with a seemingly insurmountable task: they had to convince the public that Lazenby, a model with little acting experience, could fill Connery’s shoes. Since the filmmakers knew that Lazenby didn’t have the chops to carry the whole film, they made sure that the rest of the film--the script, the sets, the scenery, the supporting players--were stellar. Their anxiety over the film’s success propelled the film makers to new creative heights, and without that spark, the film would have been lackluster.


Vote for Goldfinger (1964) 4) Goldfinger (1964)

Most people consider this #1 -- my argument is that since Bond spends most of the middle section of the film locked up in a cell, it’s not quite as exciting as From Russia with Love. But those two films, in terms of story and direction, set a standard for the Bond films that has not been repeated since.

Vote for GoldenEye (1995) 5) GoldenEye (1995)

just plain better

yes he was obiosly the best

goldeneye was a really good film staring pierce brosnan who is well I think the best actor who has played james bond in a long time


Vote for From Russia with Love (1963) 6) From Russia with Love (1963)

The only Bond movie to date that truly involves espionage. It’s got Sean Connery, the best Bond of all time, in top form, with the best plot of the entire series and superb villains in the form of Lotte Lenya (Rosa Klebb) and Grant (Robert Shaw). Plenty of suspense, minimal gadgets, and Bond is forced to rely on his wits as a ruthless combination of spy and detective.

Vote for Octopussy (1983) rsItems( 7) Octopussy (1983)


Vote for For Your Eyes Only (1981) 8) For Your Eyes Only (1981)

A return to a harder-edged Bond, with Roger Moore giving probably his best performance in the role.

Vote for Live and Let Die (1973) 9) Live and Let Die (1973)

A stylish introduction for Roger Moore’s Bond, with great action sequences and more down to earth bad guys. Lots of fun.

Vote for Thunderball (1965) 10) Thunderball (1965)

Another of Connery’s better films, with a compelling plot and superior direction. The underwater scenes get a bit tedious, but Connery seems to be enjoying himself throughout.

Choices Not In The Top Ten

Vote for Dr. No (1962) 11) Dr. No (1962)

The unforgettable entrance of Ursula Andress -- still the best Bond girl -- earns this one a place in the top 10. Much grittier than many of the films that followed, with Connery especially ruthless and cold-blooded (like the scene where he shoots an extra bullet into one of his enemies for fun).

ronpanarotti

Vote for Licence to Kill (1989) 12) Licence to Kill (1989)

A bold departure from the norm, with Bond on his own to avenge an attack on his CIA pal Felix Leiter. Timothy Dalton carries the film with his intense performance as Bond, and his interaction with Robert Davi as the bad guy makes for one of the most interesting and suspenseful Bond stories.

ronpanarotti

Vote for The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) 13) The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

Roger Moore’s best film, and it blends most of the Bond elements perfectly, resulting in a highly entertaining movie that is never dull and features one of the most memorable Bond villains: the 7-foot steel-toothed killer Jaws.

ronpanarotti

Vote for Diamonds Are Forever (1971) 14) Diamonds Are Forever (1971)

It’s more lighthearted and does not take itself as seriously as Connery’s other films, but it is a lot of fun and still far superior to most of the Roger Moore movies that followed it.
