I was gutted that Bond never faced off against a 50ft woman with a giant crossbow. That poster was false advertising!

I love the Living Daylights poster with Dalton in the middle and action all around him in a gun barrel! Have had that on my wall for years.

Mate, your Boris cosplay is impeccable!

5:48 Daniel Craig is Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 in "Fuck It That'll Do"

Completely forgot about the Golden eye poster meme but you had to remind me LMFAO

I think Octopussy’s poster deserved a spot.. her arms showing different sides of who she is makes it so compelling, is she a bond girl? Does she want to kill bond? It adds mystery and intrigue. Then you have all the action shots around and to top it all of the graphic artstyle juste makes the whole thing beautiful.

I'd love to see a return to the illustrated posters. Hopefully see one for Indy V. Also call out to some of the On Her Majesty's Secret Service posters, Lazenby cuts an iconic figure and pose!

Calvin you've managed to twist my arm and now i've made plans to invest in a huge canvas print of that Moonraker poster so THANK YOU FOR THE NUDGE! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!

I've always loved the US one-sheet for THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS. It has mystery, suspense, intrigue, sex, and simplicity.

Q 😂 I thought you were Boris for a moment 🤣.

I’m a big fan of the Skyfall one - I’ve got a lot of memories of seeing it on the side of London buses circa 2012

The Moonraker poster is fucking awesome.

I had the Casino Royale poster with Bond in the foreground and Eva Green looking on in the background. Got as part of getting the cinema job I had in my senior year of high school. I was so happy that I framed it the following weekend and had it hung up in college dorm. I lost it some time ago but I'm hoping to find another copy or a displate of it in the future. Great work as always, Calvin!

The Living Daylights poster is perhaps my favourite poster art of the Bond films.

In the spring of 1967 my cousin and I were walking through Times Square when we were brought up short by the sight of the biggest billboard in the world featuring the three panel artwork for the upcoming release of You Only Live Twice. It had been two years since Thunderball and in that time were inundated with all the countless imitators. But now Bond was back and bigger than ever. And while I love the film, the artwork had a lasting impact - most particularly the image of the volcano crater. Hardly subtle but awe inspiring for all of that.

The Live and Let Die poster has to be my favourite, the crocodile, the speedboat, tarot cards and explosions make for a true work of art. An honourable shoutout has to go to the Man with the Golden Gun poster, which I proudly own on my wall.

I liked the one with Brosnan's nose on Natalia's neck with the gun in his hand. Really set the scene that this is a new Bond; charismatic and cool.

Agreed with all of your picks! Roger really had the best posters. LALD is right up there with the Moonraker one as well.

Octopussy was always my favorite poster. The six-armed Maude Adams was such a great visual.

I'm sorry Calvin, you may have figured you were taking "a leaf out of Q's book in 'Thunderball'" however, and it may just be me, but it seems more like you are taking "a leaf out of Boris' book in 'Goldeneye'" xD Love your content though, please keep it up :)

The Never Say Never again bit was great

Such a relief you put FYEO in one of the 'best slots' and I'm so glad you love the one sheet - it's the one Bond poster hanging on my wall!

Back in the mid 70s, the manager of my hometown movie theater had told me that I could go up to where the posters were stored & take all the Bond posters I wanted. Sadly the theater had a major fire before I could get up there.

The Casino Royale (1967) poster with the "illustrated woman" is pretty good, even though the movie is not

5:45 brilliant! Great editing Gavin

Do a video about the worst bluray/DVD covers!

I really-really like that "Thunderball" poster(or more like a VHS/DVD cover picture?), where Sean Connery holds the harpoon and far behind him is a nuclear explosion! Brilliant!!! *** YOLT, TSWLM, MR, FYEO, TLD, GE, TWINE: They are all great!!!

The casino royale poster is just beautiful, and ominous. It’s hands down my fav, but I have to admit I always loved the US version of the world is not enough poster lol great video as always.

A follow up video I’d love is where you rank all of the covers of the ‘90s VHS/Special Edition DVDs! Great picks by the way!

As much as you blew away the Craig posters as being too plain, these were my favorite because the character who is playing Bond (Craig) is right there front and center where like you stated in some of the other posters, Dalton and some of the Connery posters, 007 seems a bit small compared to the rest of what is put on the poster. With Craig front and center, it puts 007 right in your face. I absolutely love the Casino Royale poster with Eva Greene in the background and actually I love the Spectre poster with the skull face in the background and Craig in his white tux. I can’t say the same about Skyfall or the Quantum posters (can’t say much about the movie Quantum either) but I preferred the Skyfall poster with Bond standing on the rooftops and London to the side (don’t know if this was an official Bond poster or not). If I had a Moore poster that I would have preferred, it would have been Live and Let Die - Moore was a badass in this movie and wielding that 45 made it like a Clint Eastwood movie - Go Ahead Make My Day - can you envision Bond saying that to any of the Bond villains? 🤪

No love for Octopussy? The 8 arms of Octopussy around Bond with her holding an assortment of different lethal weapons is pretty damn great.

TWINE is my personal favorite! I may be biased though because that's one of my all-time favorite films as well

FYEO's poster is extremely iconic

The recent Craig posters are utterly lifeless. Does MGM have a marketing department anymore? I do disagree with the View posters...I thought they were great, though I do wonder how Tanya Roberts isn't falling to her death. Her feet aren't on that cable!

Love it, really creative video!

I would have never thought of this, but I’m sure as hell happy you did

Ironic that you just posted this video about bond posters, since I just got the James Bond: 50 Years of Movie Posters book for my birthday, which I really like and would highly recommend!

You could honestly put the Spectre poster together yourself ten minutes in Photoshop. Love the Living Daylights US poster.

my top 5: Thunderball's 3 panel poster Living Daylights' gunbarrel For Your Eyes Only Skyfall's gunbarrel teaser You Only Live Twice's volcano poster ...and I gotta say, we gotta get that Sean Longmore guy making the next movie posters. Great guy.

The YOLT poster is my favorite.

My Personal Top 10: 1. The Living Daylights 2. The Spy Who Loved Me 3. The World Is Not Enough 4. Octopussy 5. You Only Live Twice 6. Live and Let Die 7. GoldenEye 8. Moonraker 9. From Russia With Love 10. On Her Majesty's Secret Service

The Moonraker poster is amazing. It sells 'James Bond is Space' even better than the actual film does. lol I also really love Goldeneye poster as well. Though it being used on the N64 game box art might have added some nostalgia.

The living daylights poster is fantastic , its like an old fashioned cartoon poster! Those that are packed with images seem to work the best. The moonraker poster is beautiful too, the colours esp the silver and greys and bond in a spacesuit works so well! Moonraker is one of my fav films with the never ending action and location settings from venice to s.america! Leeds lad here so always love the leeds mention in octopussy

10:20 Oh god, this one looks like some teenager made it in their GCSE graphic design class

I've seen The Living Daylights and License to Kill in the cinema over the past fortnight, including with my bro - who had with him some of the prop money from License to Kill. Happy cheesy days!

re, the "for your eyes only" poster the legs are a composite of two models, one for the legs, and another for the crossbow also the bikini bottom is on backwards

You Only live Twice had the most ridiculous Bond poster. It's the one where Connery is depicted in his classic Bond pose- tuxedo, arms folded, gun in hand- but he's flying "Little Nellie (?!).

The GoldenEye teaser poster was really cool as well. Simple yet effective with Pierce's eye and the gun.

Favourite Connery is Thunderball Favourite Moore is Octopussy Favourite Dalton is TLD obviously Favourite Brosnan is GoldenEye Favourite Craig is Oh Dear what happened ??? I also like The Flint film posters too with their 60s psychedelic 007 feel

Great Job Calvin 👏

I have a couple of the Sean Connery quads,all the Moore quads,both Daltons,all the Brosnan's,and the first 2 Craig's,but my favourite would be the Diamonds are Forever quad,and The Spy Who Loved Me is up on my wall right now looking great.

Great pics. The Legs Poster is the most iconic and I do think I had that poster as a kid? Good stuff.

Sir Rodger Moore’s era definitely had the best poster art!

You spoiled the fun for all of us, Calvin. Thanks

The US version of the FYEO poster you featured is my first concrete 007 memory. I suppose I must’ve had some James Bond exposure before, what being alive and all, but I remember laying eyes on that poster when the movie came to a local cinema, and six-year-old me was absolutely transfixed. One of my favorite posters was the Goldeneye teaser. Just a gold/sepia-toned extreme close up of Brosnan’s eye and the barrel of his gun - no extended mouth.

I agree that the Rog era was the best for posters. I have so many memories of classic 70s posters from travelling around on the tube as a kid,,and the Live and Let Die one with the 4 cards of “Devil, Death, Lovers and Fortune” is a very strong memory, and the following years , very busy, Golden Gun poster. They may have been the strongest pull for me as a lad seeing them station after station that got me hooked on Bond in the first place !

I have the GoldenEye teaser poster with Brosnan's eye and the gun barrel pointed at us with no title, the 007 logo, Christmas '95 at the bottom, and the tagline: "There is no substitute." Simple, iconic, and it takes us to a new era of Bond. Great list and video as always.

Dream poster would be From Russia with Love…. It’s superb.

Excellent 👍🏻 "well done Gavin my boy" 🤣

Top 5: 1. A View to a Kill: Golden Gate Bridge 2. Octopussy: Thirteen James Bond’s in a row 3. Moonraker: Bond floating in space with the Drax girls 4. The Man with the Golden Gun: Previous villains 5. OHMSS: Bond and Tracy on skis

That was a very good video! THX! :)

The MGM VHS release in 1992 comes with some of the original artwork and is a beautiful set. One of my favourite posters was the coming soon version of Living Daylights, " his bad side is a dangerous place to be."

Inspiring choices! Knew you'd pick Moonraker and some variant of For Your Eyes Only, but they're really good! Two of my absolute favourites you didn't mention: the red Tomorrow Never Dies one, I love the double Carver on top, the double 007 logo at the bottom and the use of actual still frames from the movie in the background. The film is about television and media, after all. And the teaser poster for Casino Royale. Craig is beautifully photographed here, half draped in shadows, gun in hand on the poker table, the look he gives... Just great for a fresh, grittier Bond.

I always found the US Licence to Kill poster funny because the two Bond girls are posing together in a box and it always gave the impression that they were a deadly duo villain henchmen that Bond had to face off and vanquish 😂

That US/one-sheet from The Living Daylights is fantastic... probably my favourite. On a side note - I'm loving the impressions, Calvin! 🤣😎

Great video!

Calvin you are INVINCIBLE with your Boris cosplay

I'd love for you to do a video for the cinema Trailers. GoldenEye's teaser and trailer always send shivers down my spine :). "You can still depend, on one man" !!

When you see these 007 posters all set up back to back like this - it really is incredible that in this World with absolutely amazing advancements in Digital Technology- The very worst posters of them all are the ones released over the last 20 years. Those early painted Bond posters are just MAGICAL and really capture the action and excitement of the films perfectly. In fact, in some cases - -such as Diamonds are Forever- The Poster is much bigger and more exciting than the actual film! My personal favorites are Thunderball and You Only Live Twice - But I would actually put Moonraker right alongside those! Hopefully someone in Amazon’s Marketing division is watching this and will immediately commission a No Time To Die painting in time for the film’s release! There is NO ONE who can reasonably argue that these new posters are even in the same universe as those old classics!

Speaking as a diehard Bond fan, your content is solid GOLD(eneye).

The teaser poster of SPECTRE was pretty good (black background with bullet-hole through glass, with the glass shattered in the shape of the SPECTRE-logo.)

Calvin, why, just why would you do that, now all I see when I look at that poster is Pierce Brosnan having a stroke, and the poster is my screen saver 😂😭

I love those view to a kill ones, but my fav is probably living daylights. Really wish we'd get some better ones for the modern Bond...

Nice list! I think Craig on the teal wall is my favorite of the standalones this go around, though I do like some of the Matera ones. What made you get the sweater one? To have something relevant? Pairs nicely with the Funko haha. Well done on this vid, as always.

The Dr No poster is a great piece of art

I think the Licence to Kill posters were hastily redesigned because of the title change late into production, which might explain the more simple poster designs

Curiously "Casino Royale" ... Both the Daniel Craig one and the David Niven/Peter Sellers one form the 1960s hits as 2 of my favorite. Side note - 1960s Casino Royale is a guilty pleasure for being kind of odd and unique. A wildness to it that was appealing when I first saw it in the big screen. My favorite poster is You Only Live Twice....which held the promise of excitement. And I loved Moonraker's poster for that same reason. This was fun. Thanks for sharing.🎇🎆✈🚙

I personally love the Connery-Era Posters in which he is always painted in the most ridiculous poses… like him walking aroubd the edge of Blofelds Volcano in disregard of Physics and with his arms crossed… It looks so professionaly painted and yet so ridiculous in its execution!

I wish they would go back to making From Russia With Love looking posters in the future.

As a teen I had the FYEO, SWLM and Moonraker (your top favourite and mine!) posters in my bedroom. Basically I love the classic look of illustrated posters with lots of improbable action: Bond standing sideways on the lip of Blofeld's volcano; Bond and Tracy skiing away from Piz Gloria; AVTAK with Bond and Stacy atop the Golden Gate Bridge. Agree that TLD poster is fantastic! Loved the video, thanks!

I love the '67 Casino Royale Poster with the tattooed redhead saying it's all too much for one Bond.

The impression of Roger Moore losing his glasses is worth subscribing alone! Hilarious!

I like your choices. The Living Daylights and all of the Moore films had great posters. I was bored with the boring absence of artwork on the blu Ray set so I designed my own covers using these old posters

Great video, Calvin! Quite agree about the "legs". The daisy dukes slapped over Melina's sit-upon were a disgrace. A personal favorite is the poster for "Live and Let Die" with the tarot cards representing the different characters.

0:53 for a minute I thought you were doing a Boris Grishenko outfit, I think it was the round glasses that threw me off lol Tough list but, here are My top 5 favorites: The Living Daylights (either version) For Your Eyes Only (spread version) Live and Let Die Diamonds are Forever The World is Not Enough (it’s the first bond movie I ever saw so I have a lot of Nostalgia for it) Great review as always Calvin, keep it up

I'm gonna get flak for this: I love the Spectre poster. There's something about the way Bond is standing, and his slick white suit with the gun, that's just so inherently badass to me.

It might be because I'm doing minimalist photography at the moment, but I adore some of the later Craig posters. It creates some intrigue and keeps me hyped while never feeling cluttered, however, the 60s posters used the space perfectly. The yolt one being my personal favourite, just such a phenomenal piece of over the top fun.

When I think "James Bond poster," my mind goes to DAD, TWINE, and the VHS cover for Thunderball. They were the Bond covers of my childhood. Yes, I prefer the version of the DAD poster where the background is blue instead of the ice explosion. I stared at the TWINE VHS cover for SO long as a kid. Yes, I realize that Connery's Bond never swam while an explosion was happening on an island behind him at night.

Great Video Calvin !! Living Daylights ,Octopussy and You Only Live Twice posters(both Sean upside down and in Little Nellie are my favorites

The British advance quad poster for Thunderball, featuring two spectacular painted scenes each by legendary illustrators Robert McGinnis and Frank McCarthy, is, hands-down, the greatest Bond movie poster ever!! After that, I like the one-sheet from Thunderball (re-using 3 of the 4 images from the quad), the McGinnis/McCarthy collaboration on YOLT, the Fratini/Pulford quad from For Russia With Love, the McGinnis posters for LALD and TMWTGG, Goozee on Moonraker and Octopussy, Bysouth on The Living Daylights.

13:38 The US, one sheet of “For Your Eyes Only” adorned my bedroom wall as a teen. 🤣❤️

Agreed on the first poster of The World Is Not Enough. The Japanese laserdisc has that exact cover and I’m trying my hardest to find a copy, but it’s one of the more expensive releases which isn’t helping in my search.

Agree, agree, agree. I just think anything illustrated (painted) was better than a photograph. "You Only Live Twice" is literally upside down, and very exiting, and might be my true favorite Bond art, yet, I also love Roger as my favorite Bond, and "For Your Eyes Only" is a little 80's video-sleazy, but it's still the most badass poster!

Is there a good place to buy officially licenced bond posters online? I've been wanting the TWINE posters since to movie came out lol.

3:58 IIRC, they were doing a photo shoot for FRWL and forgot to bring the PPK. The photographer had the air pistol so they used that, the long barrel image worked so well it was used for years afterwards.

Tomorrow Never Dies has always been a personal favourite of mine. I like the deep red colours it uses.

Awesome vid!!! I do have to say A View To A Kill golden gate bridge is my favourite..... but then anything AVTAK is great in my opinion :)

6:29 - Wow, that's the least wooden I've ever seen Daniel Craig acting since Casino Royale!

I think that Bob Peak's unused poster for License to kill is much better than the official posters used. Other favorites are Robert Mcginnis egg tempera posters (like the one for thunderball and live and let die). Great vid

The Living Daylights is my favourite poster out of all the other bond posters.
