This will get easier as we get closer to 1.

If the best remaining three aren't some order of

Goldfinger
From Russia with Love
Casino Royale

the list and author are bogus.

I thought Skyfall was pretty good. Casino Royale was decent but shouldn't be top 10.

Strange list to be sure. No way would I have GoldenEye or The Living Daylights in any top 10 Bond film list. It's also generally accepted by most that Goldfinger is the best of the lot, so to see it a 4th is...interesting. I think Casino Royale and On Her Majesty's Secret Service should crack the top 10.

I think Goldeneye gets a lot of praise just because that is when 'M' became a woman.

I'm going to say On her Majesty's Secret Service and Casino Royale are the last 2 to be revealed.

Goldeneye is actually pretty darn good. It brought some buzz back to the franchise after a hiatus .I'm fine with it being Top 10

Goldeneye was an awesome movie. Yes, I was born in the 90's so I'm biased. But I love the Bond Series n general. Most of the Sean Connery and Roger Moore movies were pretty great. Pierce to me was the best Bond, for the way he could chivalrously lead a woman to bed and then put a bullet in her with no remorse. He also had some damn good one-liners.

I have to put From Russia with Love and Goldfinger as the two best. Casino Royale as a close third. But sort of 1a,1b,1c. Skyfall was very good too. The rest were all ok to me.

I think having one of the most iconic video games of the era paired with the movie helped its popularity with the younger crowd.

#1 Casino Royale Is The Best Bond Movie Ever


No surprise at #1. Overall, I pretty much agree with his list with some minor shuffling (like I'd have Goldinger at #2). I could see Skyfall in the top 10 but I actually like The Living Daylights better. Don't get me wrong, Skyfall is a good movie but it drags a lot. It's probably 20 to 30 minutes too long
