Good to see the living daylights so high one of the most underrated bond films there is so much to enjoy in this one
It's my number one. To me it's the perfect Bond movie. It has all the classic Bond elements, a great Cold War plot, and a fantastic performance from Dalton. It's a damn shame he only did two movies.
@@AaronStark1993 couldn’t agree more
Very nice to finally see a list with Daylights and FYEO near the top. The former has a criminally underrated actor and score, while the latter has some of the best cinematography of the series - from the action sequences to the way the camera pans from foreground to background in some shots - really creates some next level transitions.
A view to a kill isn’t a guilty pleasure. It’s just a pleasure
Joe, I could watch your content for hours. Your highly personal and witty take on James Bond always makes me feel as if I'm debating with a good friend. The editing and music track is also top notch.
First, I think we should watch DAF when we get together over the holidays...I agree with you on LTK for sure...but Quantum at 20 and lower than AVTAK??? Dang son! Harsh...LOL. Love the list and as always the best entertainment on the web!
Diamonds Are Forever is straight garbage
An edited video of you two watching DAF would be great. Joe hates it, you could discuss how much more he would hate it if Connery wasn't in it.
Disagree with about 99% of this ranking but we all have our own tastes so respect regardless.
Such a great and very brave list. Thanks so much Joe! And just as an aside, so glad FYEO gets the recognition it very much deserves.
Agree about FYEO. It was always a top 10 for me and arguably top 5.
@@STONESGAM Great to hear you think so too Derek! FYEO is definitely a minimalist and Fleming gem for me. A great spy story as well (though many don't see it that way). Sometimes in the top five for me, but definitely always in the top ten. I love the story, themes, dialogue, music, and scenery. As with others, I also regard it as a great follow up to OHMSS.
@@theotsalamandris7572 Agree. It has grown on me big time over the years and the film tones down the slapstick comedy here which plays to Moore's strengths but was overdone during most of his era.
Classy Film and the locations were great too with nothing occuring that was that unrealistic or over the top
Thanks for the response. Merry Christmas!
My favorite commentator on Bond films. Please, please, keep going. I know there is not a lot of stuff coming out now, that will change soon. Most insightful commentary on world of Bond films, even when I don’t agree.

No. He has done a comparison video with his rankings with the sorta app rankings and the differences between them though.
Lol how you could ever consider Diamonds nearly on par with Skyfall is just 🤯
Great list. The only glaring exception for me is Licence to Kill which sits in my Top 10 around the same spot you have No Time To Die, and similar to your justification for No Time To Die, the problems you had with Licence to Kill I can understand but I simply didn’t have those problems when I saw it 10 times in the theater back in 89. Other than that, my list is very similar with the exact same bottom 2.
25: Quantum Of Solace
24: The Man With The Golden Gun
23: A View To A Kill
22: Die Another Day
21: Spectre

4: From Russia With Love
3: Goldfinger
2: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
1: Casino Royale
Dalton IS Bond!
No, but he was better than Roger Moore.
Great stuff, as always. I've listened to all the podcasts and several times here you brought me straight back to your early episodes (some of your best!). I really enjoyed how you talked about these films through the different themes of what you love about Bond: locations, gadgets, villains, etc. Again, straight from the early days of the podcast. Really enjoyed this one!
Really well made and edited video Joe, the hour just flew by! I also like how you gave little intros before each reveal to build the tension. It was a delight to watch with my morning coffee.
Number 3!! You bloody champion Joe. So happy to see my favourite Bond film getting the love it deserves. I was so excited seeing it at Number 3.
@@no288 Count me in here! Love it!
Its my favourite actually! Fantastic film!
agreed!
Cool, nice to see you ranking them again, really miss you and Scott reviewing the films. Though Scott wound up in car trunks at times. Goldeneye, and Majesties still top for me. Love the films.
Good to see Octopussy get some love. One of my top 10 as well.
One of the classic whacky fun entries
I saw Diamonds Are Forever three times the summer of 71 as a 12 year old. As years pass I can agree with the Blofeld/Tracy continuity issues, but I still think it's more fun than half of the rest....
What’s funny was that they begged Connery to come back to do it after George Lazanby did OHMSS. Eon Productions wanted him back so bad. He only came back for the money
Diamonds is a guilty pleasure. It's goofy at times and not the best Connory film but man is it a fun movie.
@@dereklewis4321 when Sean Connery passed away, I watch a marathon of his movies to honor him and celebrate his life and career. I watched all of his James Bond movies and all of his other famous movies
This was so much fun, Joe! Thanks for doing it!
Thanks for sharing this, Joe. I always enjoy hearing your perspective. The intelligence and enthusiasm you bring to this ranking are enough to send me back to tweak my own list.
May you and your family enjoy a healthy and happy Christmas! All the best in the coming New Year. Let's hope we don't have to wait too many more for Bond 26!

Calling it out now. Casino Royale will be at number one.
No. 2 for me, if it wasn't for TSWLM.
#2 after Goldeneye!
Great presentation, Joe! Thanks for not taking the negative approach that most ''ranking'' videos take.
Greatly looking forward to this video! The big question…where will No Time to Die fall? I’ll hazard a guess: at #8.
Very entertaining video, I'd probably swap "Octopussy" and "The Spy Who Loved Me". Good to see some love for "For Your Eyes Only".

Spectre over Skyfall??
@@MrWafflelova
😂Ah the most controversial point on the list! So I’ll answer as fully as I can.
The truth in my heart is that they’re ranked in joint place but this is how the tie breaks for me. Skyfall is unquestionably the better _film_ with clearer stakes, stronger villain, and some of the best dialogue in the entire franchise. However I maintain that Spectre is the better _Bond film_ , checking most of the boxes I want ticked while Skyfall vexes me in some very key ways.
For every fan that takes issue with Blofeld as Bond’s brother, I actually find M as Bond’s mother far more weird and distracting. I just always prefer Bond and M as headbutting colleagues which Brosnan/Dench and Craig/Fiennes do tremendously well. And so not being invested in that means the killer emotional punch in Skyfall never really works for me.
Spectre also has an actual Bond Girl in it all the way through treated with a relatively large degree of respect, whereas Skyfall’s pump/dump/kill/joke approach to Severine - who was a child sex slave - is the most distasteful element in Craig’s entire tenure. It’s noteworthy how Paris Carver is mentioned again and Madeleine Swann has a whole second film devoted to her while Severine is just discarded callously by the filmmakers. (M sort of does double duty as the female lead in Skyfall but making Judi Dench a terrible shot in her swansong leaves a bad taste in my mouth - they should have given her a killer aim like Helen Mirren in RED in my opinion.)
On top of that, it doesn’t help that it would take until “Backfire” and “Snow Plane” till I get to action cues that I enjoy from Thomas Newman because most of his material is too underpowered. I’d go further and say that the strength of his “Tennyson” cue reaffirms how Skyfall’s drama peaks too early at the end of the second act. This puts me in a minority but I find I enjoy Spectre more as it goes on - everything up to the train has this casual, meandering Moore-like pacing - but then it really takes off after the train fight when Craig is allowed to get beaten and emotionally rattled.
I do concede that the enemies-to-lovers arc for Madeleine and Bond is not given nearly enough time to breathe in Spectre, but this only really stays problematic when the movie is viewed as one big series anticlimax. As a penultimate episode before No Time to Die fully commits to their story (and Seydoux is allowed to act her socks off in that film) Spectre works even better than it does on its initial release.
There you go! At least you can understand my thought process even if your feelings on it are vastly different from mine!

OHMSS near the bottom. Yeesh.
Solid list
@@ricardocantoral7672 Would rather watch Tiffany Case say "Eeeeee" on a 24 hour loop than sit through that again
@@LittenMandrake Why? That's the best film in the franchise in terms of cinematic qualities.
@@ricardocantoral7672 in your opinion (which is fine) but you do not speak for everyone. I started watching the series for the 1st time from Dr No onward in order without reading any spoilers/reviews so was completely unbiased and OHMSS was so bad that I literally gave up on James Bond. I thought he (Lazenby) had taken over the series after Connery and if someone hadn't told me a year later that he was just a once off, I wouldn't have seen anything else post-Connery. Have revisted it multiple times and it is just as excruciating. Lazenby is not convincing for a single frame, the hyped romance with Tracy is incredibly forced/downright creepy at times, the plot is one of the worst of the series (DAF level), Blofeld is completely rewritten, and worst of all it is just flat out BORING. Crap movie, will never waste my time on it again.
You and I are so similar. I’m so glad you loved No Time to Die as much as I did
One of the best bond channels out there.
BeingJamesBond will return ….. soon???
You better believe it! Thanks for the kind words!
This is a very original top 25. I really like your perspectives and explanations. Very pleased to see For Your Eyes Only so high up. I think it’s often overlooked. It’s such a fantastic movie, with Roger Moore on perfect form.

Well done, sir! Considering the countless rankings videos I've watched from everybody and their brother...yours list is closest to my own (excepting your placements of Goldeneye, Licence to Kill, and No Time to Die...but we can't have everything :). Special thank you for putting FYEO so high...one of my personal favs! So glad you get it.
The list was well thought out, and although there were differences to my personal list, I could understand your perspective…..and then you put Goldeneye at 15. Man Joe…you tested my faith in you lol. Great video as always, fantastic list, and always enjoy debating this with you and the community.
Like sex and pizza…when bad, it’s still pretty good. Can’t help but love the Bond franchise. Have a Merry Christmas! 🍸
We need a rant video about the Fleming books being rewritten/censored/edited by “sensitivity readers”. :) Not a rant, but a good discussion would be interesting.

Octopussy has to be the most underated bond movie ever. On the other end, I would say honestly Skyfall is the most over-rated - Still a good movie but I wouldnt put it in my top 10.

My approach, rather than rate each film with a score was to separate the films initially by Bond actor and rate the best of the actors output first, always adding weight to those most honouring the Fleming literary character legacy, combined with script robustness, entertainment value etc. That was the easy bit.
A couple of surprises for me in finessing this list over the last few weeks and having watched each film in original release order parallel to the UK cinema re-release this year was where certain key films landed compared to where I might have placed them say 10 years ago (that's just 3 films ago!).
Nobody did it better than Connery - except when Peter Hunt directed & everyone else involved was at the top of their game. O.H.M.S.S. remains the benchmark.
Dr NO. - so much of what we take for granted in the Bond series was there from the get-go. Including the fantasy and lifestyle projection courtesy of the visions of Terence Young & Ken Adam. That combined with it being more consistent and with less plot dips and screenplay lulls than Goldfinger have it now rating higher than that (but still beneath the masterclass entertainment that is Thunderball - peak Terence Young & Sean Connery but script wise, not quite as consistent as FRWL).
Dalton needed that 3rd & 4th film to cement his greatness in being the best portrayal of the literary character ever to grace the screen. TLD is still right up there for me, only losing a little momentum after the scene where he spares Pushkin's life and suffering from a lack of a strong villain/mastermind focus.
While the 1st Brosnan film I rate is TND at 12, this is less a criticism of Pierce (who always gave it his best) and more as many have said of the quality & inconsistency of the scripts he was given. The TND David Arnold Soundtrack, still topical plot theme, less of a Bond by numbers script (compared to the "safely" played Goldeneye) and Brosnan's greater assurance in the role win me over on this one.
QoS shows a pure, almost emotionless killer and revenge seeker (for Vesper's death) in Craig's second outing - very Fleming-esque & better than many seem to credit it (esp. compared with the crowd pleaser that is "Skyfall"). Fast pace from that opening scene get-go, the action never lets up. Just outside my Top Ten.
I added Connery's non-Eon offering for it as we all know, put itself out there in 1983 as a legitimate alternative to the Broccoli product, assuming that with Connery back in the lead role, it had genuine legitimacy. Yet the final film remains IMHO the lesser compared with all of EON's often variable output and proved that it was the collective creative efforts that made the Bond films what they have always been, not any single element.
@Stephan Martini Great ranking bro! I really like your top 5. IMO From Russia With Love is the best from Connery era. My favourites James Bond films are From Russia With Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Thunderball, Goldfinger, The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only.

@@bouya642 thanks for the thumbs up and equally good sir, your ranking garners my respect. To be honest I find there's a certain fluidity with the rankings dependent upon mood and mindset and how I'm measuring.
E.g. I find TSWLM a more entertaining blockbuster Moore period Bond film but appreciate FYEO as a more grounded, Fleming-esque return to form so on any given day, I could swap places with these two.
Until recently, I too would have ranked FRWL above all other Connery films and I still think of his movies it best captures the feel of Fleming and the source material. However my criteria is perspective dependent. Am I looking for best interpretation of Fleming's character, consistency of plot & storyline, escapism start to finish, blockbuster adventure filmmaking? etc. etc.
So why do I now put Dr. No & Thunderball above FRWL for this listing? Because overall, they offer me more of the Bond cinema experience as interpreted by the EON production team. By that I mean Dr. No has the Ken Adam sets and fantastical nature of story & plot that the cinema version is renowned for even though the character is better fleshed out with more nuance by Connery in FRWL and it is also a more grounded Cold War espionage story (despite the inclusion of Spectre absent from the novel). Thunderball has some pacing issues but overall it combines all of the best elements of the previous 3 movies, builds on the original blockbuster nature of Goldfinger and with Terence Young back in the Directors chair serves up a smorgasbord of everything that defines Bond at the movies. Exotic EVERYTHING, beautiful women (all four key female characters), swinging 60's bachelor lifestyle aspirations, high stakes plot, gadgets, tongue in-cheek humour & innuendo, jet-set lifestyle, escapism... Looking at both our lists I'd say most of the first 15 we have are interchangeable so there's a commonality on what we look for in a Bond film.
Excited for this and just excited for any BJB content!
Love your content HoS, glad to see the long form. Hope you’re doing well!
Great video, Head of Section! I would love to hear more podcasts with you and Scott. You could ranks the Bond Girls, locations etc. either way it is extremely comforting hearing you both passionately debate Bond.

I really respect your boldness when it came to this list. (Like Goldeneye at 15 is BOLD, but I don't entirely disagree honestly) As for my opinion, I think the three best ones are License to Kill, Casino Royale, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

My favourites are From Russia With Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Thunderball, Goldfinger and The Spy Who Loved Me
Hey Joe, thanks for that ranking. Very entertaining. I wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas time. I’m looking forward to the 2023 content coming. Stay safe and take care. 🤜🏼🤛🏻
Once again I'll never ever understand why people dislike Diamonds so much. Even with explanations I will never understand!
I think it's one of the most simple and fun Bond films around, not confusing, not filled with horrible humor, and not trying to be something it's not.
Just a neat little afternoon Bond adventure
That film is garbage, that's why.

It is boring, silly, weak villain, Connery sleepwalks through it, long stretches of no action, and when action happens it’s not convincing, henchman disappear until the very end. It’s more of a showcase of a dated Vegas with bad comedic elements than a spy thriller

What a wonderful video, Joseph! Sure my list would look different (no need to get started on QoS 😂 which easily makes my Top 10) you very well explained why a film ranks where within your list which is entertaining and interesting at the same time. Bravo 🎉! And your unbeatable excitement for films like OMSS or CR is inspiring to re-watch them again (both of course in my personal Top 5 as well).
Thanks and have a wonderful holiday season

Joe, I know you talked plenty about No Time to Die, but can you do one more with Scott, I would love to hear his thoughts.
Yes! Joe and Scott never reconvened for a NTTD review. Thanks for pointing that out.
love your perspective. Have a different list in some. Still.... you explained them very well. Love your channel
Excellent list, Joe! Thanks for your enthusiasm, dedication, effort, and craftsmanship with your videos and podcasts. You helped us Bond-heads get through the pandemic. A happy and healthy 2023 to you and your’s, Head of Section.

Great video! We loves the rankings. It's fascinating to hear why a certain film occupies a certain place in someone's list. Your emphasis on the look of the films, the cinematography and the design really resonates. That figures strongly in my preferences as well. Also, what you say about the films that are more grounded in reality and aren't creating scenarios just to wow and impress makes a lot of sense to me. In my (admittedly diseased) brain there are always three lists in constant battle with each other: the best, my favorite, and my most likely to watch. I'll bore you only with the highest in each list: FRWL, TSWLM, DAF (yeah, I know). Again, very enjoyable video!
Also I noticed you don't have any Brosnan films in the top 10 unlike more "modern" reviewers, I have the same feeling about these films. Brosnan is great but he was saddled with some of the worst written Bond films along with carrying over the bad parts of the Moore era.
Love the editing
Loved this!!!
Would love to see your top 10 fav villain rankings, Joe! We have like 5 years til the next Bond movie so it's as good of a time as any to make some more list videos!
Yes, Octopussy is a great one, even though I would have put Spy who loved me and Goldfinger over it.
It's interesting how wildly different people's James Bond lists are.
This rank is ridicolous in many ways : Goldfinger at 11 means most people dont consider ( as probably they were not born those times when released ) the impact that movie had on entire world and this is the movie billions people seen and recognize 007 , so well about spectre, probably the best script in the craig ‘S era . And so on .
Goldfinger, from Russia, Spy who loved me and Skyfall are the top 4 Bond-movies. In my book.

Absolutely a great ranking video mr head of section!💪
This is a great video! Some really interesting points there in defence of the ranking. Some I disagree with but this was really good
Nearly dropped my martini on the floor and shot myself with a Walther PPK when you mentioned Goldeneye so low. Shaken not stirred would be an understatement 🤯
This is my top five:
1.- Casino Royale
2.- Goldfinger
3.- On Her Majesty Secret Service
4.- GoldenEye
5.- Skyfall
You should have talked more about the ending of no time to die, it was out of this world
I feel like you and I, as Bond fans, would agree on very, very little based on how the list had gone by minute 10 of the video 😂 We would not see eye to eye on… anything 🤣
I applaud you for being foolish enough to embark on such a risky task. My list doesn't match yours. How could you be so wrong? LOL Thanks for all the hard work putting this together!
Interesting how similar yet different our respective rankings are, but I can respect that.. the beautiful thing about Bond, is that it’s been around for so long in so many different styles, that there really is a flavor for everyone, and I don’t believe there are any 2 fans that have identical rankings 👍🏻
the one that jumps out to me is The Man with the Golden Gun. i regard it as the artistic bottom of the series and also budget. At least with Moonraker you can see the budget on the screen and there are some genuinely good sequences. I've watched TMWTGG fewer than any other....besides Specte and NTTD
My husband loves Man With The Golden Gun but I agree…it’s my very least favorite Bond film
Very cool list! I liked how it was very authentic to your taste!
Well that was an awesome 55 minutes of watching, great list (love that #number 3) I really feel like it's like seeing an old friend when the upload hits the UA-cam! Bravo 👏
Beautiful list, well put together. Love it that OHMSS is so high!
My personal Top Ten:
1. Dr. No
2. From Russia With Love
3. The Living Daylights
4. Thunderball
5. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
6. Casino Royale
7. Goldfinger
8. Live And Let Die
9. For Your Eyes Only
10. Goldeneye
Solid top 3. I would have put Spy Who Loved Me and Goldfinger way higher but I did like watching you go through your top 25.
They should make a film based on the story of Ian Fleming’s Moonraker. They’d have to come up with a new title but the book is mostly untouched by filmmakers, and it’s a great story.
It's nice to see someone that *doesn't* heavily overrate The Spy who Loved Me, and thank you for placing Casino Royale exactly where it belongs!
A View to a Kill is totally underrated
No it's not. That film is bad
Sir roger was long in the tooth, but able. Christopher walken makes a great villain
@@greatwuta It’s not bad, it’s a good guilty pleasure.
@@spaceace4387 terrible film
@@greatwuta no it isn’t.
My Top 10 James Bond Films :
10. The Living Daylights (1987)

8. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
7. Octopussy (1983)
6. Goldfinger (1964)

4. Dr. NO (1962)
3. Thunderball (1965)
2. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

I like that you justify each one relative to its neighbor. My top 7 is almost identical to yours, but otherwise there's a lot of difference.
Great video!
Nice to see one of the "big boys" of the community putting No Time To Die so high on their list. The movie definitely has problems but there's so much great stuff there, I adore it and it ranks at 8th place for me as well.
And I agree about Octopussy being one of the most underrated Bond movies out there.
Aweome ranking. I need to go re watch some now.
My boy Joe. Seeing NTTD in the top 10 is crazy but i love the balls here.
Its middle of the road. I must thank you though as many years ago you opened my eyes on Octopussy.
Cheers🍸🍸🍸
Well done. I disagree on several - very much - but you explain your choices admirably.
I do agree Casino Royale is the best.
Your Top Ten's great! Your channel is one of my favorite channels about Bond!
My Top Five is:
1. Casino Royale
2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
3. For Your Eyes Only
4. From Russia With Love
5. The Living Daylights

I've been a Bond fan since the age of 4. My first film was on video disc it was For your eyes only, fell in love with the franchise at that point. It a subjective list probably no two alike. Here's my list. I base mine on story, villain, soundtrack, action, Bond himself.
26. Never say never again** lazy rehash of Thunderball.
25. Die another Day** Incredibly outlandish not to be taken serious.
24. The world is not enough** interesting concept, but bullet in head villain and Denise Richards as a Dr!
23. Spectre ** sum up in a word DULL, everything about it. Swann Bond lack chemistry.
22. No time to die**1/2 Bond checking off woke boxes, still not buying romance between Swann and Bond, hate the Eilish song.
21. Thunderball**1/2 Average outting somewhat over rated.
20. From Russia with Love***
19. You only Live twice***
18. Quantum of solace****
17. Casino Royale ****

Can you do one ranking all 6 Bond actors?

This is a great list! I find that my taste in Bond films is most aligned to yours compared to the other major Bond content creators.
I love this list Joe. I love how you don't have a conventional Bond ranking and that you rate LTK near the bottom and The Living Daylights near the top 😏
@qwertymanor License To Kill is better than The Living Daylights. Both are amazing Bond films and really underrated. The most underrated James Bond films are Diamonds Are Forever, You Only Live Twice, Thunderball, The Man With The Golden Gun, Moonraker, A View To A Kill, Octopussy, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, License To Kill, The Living Daylights, Die Another Day, Quantum of Solace and Spectre. Everyone's favourite are always Skyfall, Goldfinger, From Russia With Love, GoldenEye.
Great video joe ; an early Christmas treat to watch ; great to see one of my all time favourites , my number 2 choice , the living daylights up there at number 4 ; I still think Ohmss is my favourite of all time ; but agree nttd will be more appreciated in a couple of years time ; Happy christmas Joe
