I am a lifelong fan of the James Bond film franchise, so I created this channel to share and discuss ranked lists with fellow Bond aficionados! For this countdown, I will be ranking all of the official Bond films. This is the quintessential list that any Bond fan can have - The one that represents what kind of a Bond fan you are. No two fans ever have the exact same ranking of every film, so please remember that everything is subjective and respect everyone in the comments!

LTK very much reflected the affairs of the world in the most possible subtle manner: With the Cold War drawing to an end, communist insurgents were no longer a threat to right-wing governments which had illegally funded the counterinsurgency forces using illicit drug money, Sanchez being an amalgam of the two notorious drug barons Manuel Norega and Pablo Escobar and his right hand Dario being a former enforcer of the CIA sponsored Contra. Bond in his quest for revenge bought down a narcotics empire stretching from Chile upto Canada(as Sanchez boasts) soon to enter Asian markets. Dalton, as usual, was the determined, tough overall brilliant Bond while Davi as Sanchez was simply outstanding coz imho, he was the most realistic Bond antagonist till then.

Personally I feel Tomorrow Never Dies is vastly underrated, largely because I felt that it was the first to update the conceptual elements of the Bond story in regards to modern context. Goldeneye's story was largely great because it felt like a perfect amalgam of Ian Flemming's previous story motifs and thematic elements, and fits alongside its predecessors seamlessly, but Tomorrow Never Dies almost feels like what a Bond novel might have been like if Ian Flemming was born 25 years later than he was. Mainly, the concept of Privately Owned Media to start international wars for a particular ultra-powerful civilian's endgame is something that didn't exist in the world during Flemming's time, but if he was writing in the late 90's, I imagine this type of notion would have caught his attention.

Because I grew up in the 70's...I will always associate Roger Moore as THE James Bond. Second in line, would be Sean Connery, with Daniel Craig coming in thirdly. However...my favorite Bond films, start with Daniel Craig as Bond, with Roger Moore second, and Sean Connery third. That said...I love ALL of them, even George Lazenby's one time portrayal. Bond movies just take one into a world of intrigue, patriotism, and plain sleek coolness. As a 10 year old in 1977, and watching Roger Moore as Bond, was a thrilling world of escape, from the real world of drudgery. Every Bond movie I have watched since, still sends me to thay place of intrigue. Bond movies are simply marvelous. Just marvelous. With all of that said...I do recognize this video is not about the actor playing Bond, but each individual movie itself. At my age, it is just easier to remember the actors, than it is to remember each movie and its failings, or highlights. So I wrote my comment the way I did. ☀️😎☀️

I agree with most everything about this ranking. I also believe, having watched this series since I was little, that no one inhabited the Bond suit any better than Connery. Yes, it was cheesy, yes it was (somewhat) one-dimensional, but not one of them said "Bond, James Bond" the way Connery did. I truly loved Brosnan (I thought he brought a lot of depth and machismo to the roles), mostly disliked Moore and was neither up or down about Dalton. However, until Casino Royale, I could not have been more blown away by Daniel Craig, and what he did for the role, AND the franchise. I totally agree that he made it his own, and the vulnerability he showed with the Vesper Lynd character was truly groundbreaking. Having seen Craig prior to him doing the role, I couldn't have imagined that someone (not so) classically handsome could have pulled it off, but I was dead wrong. Mads Mikkelsen as LeChiffre was BRILLIANT (one of my favorite actors) and the plot was shocking and believable, in equal measure. LONG LIVE JAMES BOND!!

I saw Dr. No when I was eight. So I saw all the movies as they were released, which probably gives me a different perspective. In spite of that, I find your ranking surprisingly intuitive. I was also a big fan of Ian Fleming and read nine of the books before I was sixteen. For this reason, I find the Connery, Craig, and Dalton movies to be more aligned with the character, with Brosnan a close 4th, yet Dalton and Brosnan never communicated the clear psychological dichotomy of the Bond character in their acting. From a completely subjective feeling through the years, I think you mentioned all the reason why Goldfinger should be #1 on your list, although Casino Royale was an obvious contender. For the same reason, I can personally dismiss Roger Moore's depiction, since I'm old enough to remember The Saint, which I was a fan of as well. But the character didn't translate well and Moore never really seemed to try to make the break. I completely lost interest in the character during that time, and maybe expected too much from Dalton, afterwards. They promised a return to a character that resembled Fleming's Bond, but that never happened, or they never really knew what that means. If I were to pick three that fit the Fleming's character - Goldfinger, Casino Royale, Dr. No, with Thunderball being a fun fantasy for those of us that love the water sports and casinos while visiting Paradise Island in the Bahamas. As good as Casino was, Quantum, Spectre, and No Time, were duds, IMO, and I don't think the real James Bond has survived the death scene this time, no matter who plays the lead next...

As a fellow Bond fan, thank you for acknowledging Licence to Kill and The Man with the Golden Gun on your list, especially with Dalton's great performance in the movie.

First of all, for me there is no such thing as a "bad Bond movie". I watched all 25+2 of them countless times and will continue to do so, no matter how much I complain about certain aspects. Having said that, the storyline of "Skyfall" wasn't that great IMHO. The 1st act MacGuffin is more or less recycled from MI:1, Silva's escape "that was planned for years" doesn't make sense at all. I'm also not a fan of the Home Alone 3rd act. And don't get me started on that waste of a good scotch. How about calling in the cavalry 3min earlier? I know the whole Craig era is supposed to be a deconstruction of Bond. But for me it's just not that entertaining to see him fail over and over again. He fails on his mission, he fails saving Severine, he fails saving M, .... But like I said in my original post. Those rankings are always subjective and I think it's actually rather interesting to learn what other fans like about the movies I don't like that much and vice versa.

When I was a boy of 7 or 8 in the mid '60s, my aunt took me to see a double feature: "From Russia With Love" and "Goldfinger." I was mesmerized. I had never seen anything like James Bond and I wanted to be just like him. I begged for the toy Bond briefcase from "With Russia With Love" and I got it for Christmas that year. James Bond became my role model. My father had extreme PTSD from his brutal WWII experiences and was not able to be much of a role model. Many decades later, only just recently because certain wartime documents were declassified, did I learn that my father had a role in an Ian Fleming commando operation during the war. My favorite Bond films are "From Russia With Love" and "For Your Eyes Only."

This film is loaded with gadgets, and there something uber cool seeing a Bond fight sequence with laser guns. I love the silly, dark humor. The pre-title sequence is superb, featuring some of the best stunt work in the entire series. Moonraker is definitely one of those films where you need to leave your brain at the door and just enjoy the ride.

I still put Goldfinger as #1 for the reasons you cited in this list (as you yourself called it “the perfect Bond film”). It was the blueprint for all others that came after it. Every second watching it, I felt like I was actually following a British spy during the height of the Cold War. Some of the characters were kinda weak (like Felix for instance), but it felt real. Not every player in the real Cold War espionage years was witty and clever. Many of them were WWII and Koren War veterans who were doing their part to promote the mission of their governments. Even lines like when Felix notices Bond and P*ssy walking together and says something to the effect of “Bond has things well in hand. I’m tired, let’s get back to the motel for some shut-eye.” I’ve never worked for the CIA, but I have worked in government public service. That line is so real and a level of realism you don’t see in film today. Everything these days has to be constant octane.

I get most of the criticism, but especially the first hour is so much fun, I don't really care about it. Would love to see more of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's writing for a Bond movie, she's great!

And while some of my least favorite Bond films (I enjoy all the official films) are some you regard highly, I did like hearing why they appeal to you. If there's one thing I love about the Bond fandom (at least from my encounters with other fans) is we all have different reasons for loving the franchise and aren't so forceful to those with different opinions. I never get tired hearing reasons why people love a Bond low-quality film, or to find one of the classics overrated. Keep up the good work.

I'd put the 'too old Roger Moore' picks much lower, since if Bond himself isn't believable, then the rest of the film can't make up for that lack.

"From Russia With Love" is my fave, Most atmospheric and does not depend upon a lot of gimmicks and such. In this film Bond has to be the agent he was trained to be to survive and to complete the mission. There is no parody at all as in so many of the others that wink and grin at us from time to time. (alright, "she should have kept her mouth shut" is a bit of this but not over the top). Bond's main adversary is an equally well-trained killer, very dangerous and he almost wins. Bond is sweating when he finally kills him. Perfection.

Classic but with a bit of emotional flavour -> Lazenby, 3. Flowery, entertaining and almost happy -> Moore, 4. Standard by the books, even mixture of all ingredients -> Dalton, 5. Epic, action fuelled -> Brosnan and 6. down to earth, emotional and deep-thought -> Craig.

I love that you put Licence to Kill that high, very affirming for my own ranking. Easily the most underrated Bond film! I wouldn’t put OHMSS that low, but 100% agree with your comments. Nice video!

I think I would struggle to make such a list. I was born in the early 70s and I believe the first Bond movie I ever got to see was The Spy who Loved me... or possibly Moonraker. At all odds I grew up a Roger Moore fan because he was the first Bond I ever saw. But eventually I saw all of Sean Connery Bond as well as On her Majesty's Secret Service and the Dalton Bond films and I enjoyed all of them. I wasn't a huge fan of Dalton primarily because he replaced Moore but I still enjoyed his films. I had wanted to see Brosnan as Bond ever since I first saw him in Remington Steele and was quite happy with Goldeneye but somewhere in his tenure I lost interests in Bond. Maybe it grew too ridiculous or maybe something else caught my attention but I'm pretty sure there are at least one or two of his outings that I haven't seen from beginning to end. Daniel Craig and the reboot really breathed life back into the Franchise with Casino Royale and then Quantum of Solace kind of sucked the life back out of it and then Skyfall performed CPR. And back and forth it went. I recently watched No Time to Die and I absolutely LOVED it. Maybe it is my maternal instinct but Bond as a protective parent really stirred something with in my heart and I was deeply touched by his decision to sacrifice himself to guarantee that he would never be the reason he lost the woman he loved and his child. Is it my favorite Bond film. No I don't think it is, but it's a damn good film! As I said at the outset putting all of the Bond's into some sort of ranked order would be quite the struggle. And my list would probably be very different from many others. But then the list shown here shows me that I'm not alone in that.

Pierce Brosnan couldn't do the 2 movies that Timothy Dalton did because NBC would not release him from his contract.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, and you are more than welcome about Majesty's! Truthfully, I purposely haven't seen NSNA in a long time, but I'm inclined to place it dead last by default...Anything that's not an official EON film may as well be a fan film in my eyes.

If we talk about emotions " On her majesty secret service" is No. 1 Movie bcz there we got to Known what happened to James bond life and his Wife, Ending part was Heart Breaking, Action wise I rate " Tommorrow Never dies " Action+Emotions = "License to kill" Overall for me Sean conery and Pierce Brosnan were Perfect James Bond bcz of their Height, Energy and Cleverness.

Favorite James Bond Movies are a bit like favorite versions of Star Trek or Doctor Who. You can usually tell the age the fan by their choices. People gravitate to whoever was playing the part when they first fell in the love with the character. Daniel Craig may have been a great Bond but he can never duplicate the experience for me of being allowed to stay up passed my bedtime to watch Sean Connery in Goldfinger with my Father (may he rest in peace.) I have to say I have not seen many of the Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig movies it will be fun to watch them for the first time since they placed so high on your list.

I nearly turned this off after seeing OHMSS in bottom place, but I'm glad I stuck with it. It's great to find someone else who thinks TMWTGG is one of Moore's best films - the film is criminally underrated. As is LTK, which you give a good showing to. I also appreciate your love of AVTAK - it has its issues, but its a really enjoyable film to watch. Thanks for creating the video.

I'm glad that you hung in there! I realize how unpopular it is to dislike Majesty's so much, but it's how I feel and it's no less valid than how any other Bond fan feels. It's always better to hear each other out than write each other off, so thank you for hearing me out!

It’s okay to have different opinions, this movie franchise has gone through a lot and everybody has different lists. As somebody who has seen Casino Royale again, I would rank it in my Top 3-5 bc it is so good.
