One contributor shares, “This one has been a real slow burner for me; twenty years ago, it would have never entered my top ten, but now it has been edged out of the top five mainly because From Russia With Love has gone up so much in my ratings. Shows a more personal, human side to Bond, plus it has one of the best endings in the series. The top soundtrack too.”

7. Skyfall (2012)

Multiple commenters add, “A fantastic return for Bond after the okayish, Quantum of Solace. It has all the classic ingredients a Bond movie should have, a great theme song, awesome action, and a memorable villain.”

8. For Your Eyes Only (1981)

For Your Eyes Only was a more down-to-earth film after the chaos that was Moonraker. Several Bond buffs declare, “Again, this one slowly went up on my Bond movie rankings on repeat viewings.”

Someone admits, “Used to be my favorite from Moore. Great theme tune, good action, good locales, and an exceptional henchman in the form of Jaws. My only complaint is that Stromberg was underused as the main villain.”

10. The Living Daylights (1987)

This film had a fun theme song to go along with an awesome performance from Timothy Dalton in this exciting Bond entry. Maryam d’Abo drags the film down a little. nonetheless.

11. Quantum of Solace (2008)

“It would have been a tough job to match up to Casino Royale, and while this is not a great Bond movie, this is a pretty decent entry.” Individuals decide, “Action scenes were decent, any movie with Gemma Arterton is worth watching, and this is no different, and Mathieu Amalric, I feel, was underrated as Dominic Greene.”

12. Thunderball (1965)

“It had the misfortune of following two classic Bond movies.” One viewer says, “But it is a decently entertaining Bond movie in its own right.”

13. Moonraker (1979)

One group of moviegoers share, “Years and years ago, I used to dislike this, mainly for the writers giving Jaws a girlfriend and turning him good at the end, but I rewatched it when I brought the DVD years ago, and I finally saw the movie for what it was a fun-filled spectacle.”

14. Dr. No (1962)

Many agree, “Used to be my favorite from Moore, but on a rewatch years ago, I realized that once you leave out the awesome action scenes, you’re left with only a mediocre-semi decent Bond movie.”
