James Bond Films

In preparation for last November's new James Bond film, Skyfall, Katie and I watched all of the previous James Bond films in chronological order. Throughout the process I took detailed notes on everything from the wines Bond drank to the women he loved to the title songs that began each movie. Over the next several days I'll release my rankings of the movies for each of the several categories I tracked.

We'll start off the most obvious: my ranking of the films themselves! Some of these are biased by sentiment but here are my picks from best to worst:


1. Goldfinger
2. The Spy Who Loved Me
3. Casino Royale
4. Diamonds Are Forever
5. From Russia With Love
6. Never Say Never Again
7. Goldeneye
8. For Your Eyes Only
9. Thunderball
10. The Living Daylights
11. Skyfall
12. Live And Let Die
13. Tomorrow Never Dies
14. You Only Live Twice
15. Moonraker
16. Dr. No
17. Octopussy
18. A View To A Kill
19. The Man With The Golden Gun
20. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
21. The World Is Not Enough
22. Quantum of Solace
23. Die Another Day
24. License to Kill
