Goldfinger? Casino Royale? Moonraker? We rank the top 10 best JamesBond movies ever. And no, A View to a Kill is NOT on the list.
As the years wear on and the new entries stack up, fans continue to partake in the regular ranking of the 007 oeuvre, taking sides in the forever argument of which is the best James Bond movie of all time. Some enthusiasts would never hear of anything other than a title featuring the the OG Bond, Sean Connery, while others cite the more sophisticated modern installments led by Daniel Craig, who just recently retired from the role in last year’s excellent No Time to Die.
9) On Her Majesty’s Secret Service Because the first post-Connery Bond, George Lazenby, only appeared in this one entry, people assume that his short tenure as Bond was a bust. Then they watch the movie, scratch their heads, and say, “Wait a minute…this isn’t bad at all.” In fact, it’s one of the only films in the series with real dramatic heft, not least because of the ending which — for the uninitiated — I wouldn’t dream of spoiling here.
7) The Spy Who Loved Me The Spy Who Loved Me was a soft reboot for a franchise that was flailing. Though the producers kept Roger Moore in the role of 007, much else was reimagined after the dull The Man with the Golden Gun . The Spy Who Loved me took three years to make it to theaters, as opposed to the typical two, and the extra year of marinating led to a more succulent affair overall.
5) For Your Eyes Only The franchise needed to come back to Earth after the lunacy of Moonraker . As such, For Your Eyes Only is the most subdued of the Roger Moore entries, as well as the most engrossing at the level of story and character. Carole Bouquet as Melina Havelock, who embarks on a mission to avenge her murdered parents, is one of the most compelling women in the franchise . She’s so hellbent on revenge that even Bond is taken aback.
