The James Bond Series, Ranked

Finally finished reviews of all the Bond films. With that in mind, I offer my humble ranking of the entire series… that is bound to make people pull their hair out. Good luck finding another ranked list that puts A View To A Kill as high as I do.

1. From Russia With Love (1963)

2. Casino Royale (2006)

3. The Living Daylights (1987)

4. No Time to Die (2021)

5. Skyfall (2012)

6. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)

7. A View To A Kill (1985)

8. Spectre (2015)

9. Goldeneye (1995)

10. Goldfinger (1964)

11. You Only Live Twice (1967)

12. Dr. No (1962)

13. License To Kill (1989)

14. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

15. Live and Let Die (1973)

16. Quantum of Solace (2008)

17. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

18. For Your Eyes Only (1981)

19. The Man With The Golden Gun (1974)

20. Never Say Never Again (1983)

21. The World Is Not Enough (1999)

22. Die Another Day (2002)

23. Diamonds Are Forever (1971)

24. Thunderball (1964)

25. Octopussy (1983)

26. Moonraker (1979)

27. Casino Royale (1967)

Interestingly enough, I used these rankings to come up with an average ranking of Bonds.

1. Lazenby: 6

2. Craig: 7

3. Dalton: 8

4. Connery: 14.4

5. Brosnan: 17.25

6. Moore: 17.7

7. Niven, Sellers, Allen, Andress, et. al.: 27

That… can’t be right, can it? Connery at Number 4? Lazenby at number 1? I gues bowing out after only one outing is finally paying for for the poor bloke.
