Best Bond Films, Worst Bond Films

Okay this is very subjective as everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But so the sake of argument name your picks for best 007 films, worst ones and why.

Best Bond Films:
1. From Russia with Love- I love this one mainly because it felt more realistic than its predecessor, Dr. No and lacked all the scifi gadgets of the subsequent ones. And we actually see Bond SPYING which rarely happens in any other 007 film. The ttrain fight was awesome for its time. Robert Shaw as the baddie was great.
2. The Spy Who Loved Me- Okay this is the opposite of From Russia with Love as it goes all the way with gadgets and scifi concepts, but the film is lots of FUN! Jaws was a memorable foe, Barbara Bach was one of the best Bond girls and Roger Moore seemed to be having as much fun as we did watching the film.
3. For Your Eyes Only - This was an attempt, late in Moore's career, to go back to basics of the Connery days, emphasizing plot over spectacle and stunts over gadgets. It delivered. Great action sequences.

Worst Bond Films:
1. License to Kill - Timothy Dalton's second (and last) film as Bond was a real turkey. It tried to be original and departed too much from the character. I was struggling to stay awake watching this BORING film. Finally I quit and stopped watching. It should have never being made.
2. Never Say Never Again- Connery didn't want to return to this Thunderbolt remake, but they tossed an obscene amount of money at him and he took it. Irving Keshner, who was fresh from his The Empire Strikes Back triumph, failed miserably here as director. Even prime babes Kim Basinger and Barbara Carrera couldn't inject life into this moribund fiasco.
3. A View To Kill - I hate this film more than all the others. Didn't like Christopher Walken here, hated the Duran Duran song, almost vomited with the Grace Jones 'raping' geriatric Moore, didn't found the plot compelling nor the action that good for a Bond film. Totally wasted Sian Adey-Jones by keeping her in the background as furniture.

 

I really liked For Your Eyes Only too.

 

When I was a kid I thought Moonraker was the greatest shit ever. Went to see it twice.

 

Best is Casino Royale, followed by From Russia With Love and Goldfinger

worst were all the crap Brosnan did apart from Goldeneye, and Moore's poorest such as the Moonraker

 

And most people would agree that every one after Casino Royale has been a watch once borefest.

 

I've watched all Bond movies many times and I've narrowed it down to a personal Top Best of:
Goldfinger
From Russia With Love
The Spy Who Loved Me
Live And Let Die
Casino Royale
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Thunderball

The Worst:
Brosnan series

 

I agree the Brosnan series was the worst. Want to know how worst it was? I never watched a single Bond film starring him.

 

It all became an exaggeration of the silliness, double-entendres and one-liners that started with The Man With The Golden Gun.

 

Yeah, the Brosnan ones except for Golden Eye for fucking horrible.

 

Goldeneye was awesome. It also gave us a prime pre-X-Men Famke Jenssen as the sadistic Russian killer babe, Xenia Onatopp. Laughed hard when Bond/Brosnan says 'And no more foreplay!" after he almost got killed by her and barely survived in the sauna! She stole the freaking movie! Plus Sean Bean, as usual, had a great death scene.





I also enjoyed Die Another Day The opening sequence where Bond was released from a North Korean prison was very good as he got tortured there for a long time and had emotional scars. Halle Berry the best Bond girl, ever! And yes, the last 30 minutes went over-the-top, but it was "the Spy who Loved Me' style fun! Plus a younger Rosamund Pike was good too!

 

Was Halle the best Bond girl ever because her hot meter ran the highest, or because of her performance?

 

What performance?


THAT SAID...still the most beautiful Bond Girl, and the only one who never wore a bikini, was Jane Seymour as Solitaire from 'Live & Let Die'.

 

Still my all time favorite musical composition from any Bond soundtrack remains 'San Monique' by George Martin (replacing John Barry who needed a break from Bond) from 'Live & Let Die".

 

Tell me, do you remember when Jaws met the petite blonde girl and he smiled at her and she smiled back at him. Did she had bracers or not?

 

Not.

 

Not even the best black Bond girl ever.
That entire movie was dogshit.

 

Well, me and millions of other people remember she had bracers when she smiled back at him, which had the whole audience in stitches laughing as these two so different individuals had something in common. It was the darn best joke of the film.

 

So who was the best black Bond girl ever, genius? He-Man Grace Jones?

 

Rosie Carver, of course:




You just got carried away with Berry just like the rest of the dumb media at the time: "Oooooh! She's just like Honey Rider coming out of the sea in Dr No! How iconic!"

 

Maybe she did. I don’t remember and was just guessing.

 

Gloria Hendry can't hold Halle Berry's panties. And look at her arms and chest. Looks like a tranny in wig!
Compare to Berry (plus Hendry had a smaller role too)

 

You don't remember because it is not in the film anymore. Now that scene doesn't make sense at all.

 

See also, last paragraph of my last post.

 

Morons expect the girl to have braces because the guy has metal teeth

There is no "Mandela Effect", it's just "stupid cunts like Panchy who are sure about stuff but not only don't realize they're wrong but are so fucking retarded that they can't even comprehend it when it's proven to them"

D

I will not discuss the Mandela Effect here as that subject has its own thread and much less with an Australopithecus brain like yours.

 

If I'm an Australopithecus, you're a fucking Ameoba you ponderous cunt.

There's no "Mandela Effect", it's just poor reception of information by people of below-average intelligence who are in denial of their own crushing intellectual incompetence

 

Wait..what? Was that primate trying to form some words?

 

Denise Richards playing a nuclear physicist was so laughable, although she was hot in it.

That movie was stupid, I remember the whole theatre groaned after that cheesy Christmas joke at the end.

 

LMFAO Erratic. You’ve had that Louis CK sig forever and seeing it today I got annoyed by it and finally read the caption.

 

On Her Majesty's Secret Service starring George Lazenby is my choice for the best. Lazenby committed the stupidest move in movie history by quitting the role of 007 before the movie was even released and walked away from a guaranteed 7 picture deal to star as Bond worth millions a picture at a time period in history when a million bucks was really a million bucks and very few actors earned that kind of money.
