James Bond Films the best and the worst !
Goldfinger [Blu-ray] [1964]Goldfinger [Blu-ray] [1964]
Buy new: £10.88 / Used from: £10.07
The previous movie in the series is ever so slightly the better film, but the one that set the template for all the James Bond movies to come was Goldfinger,
From Russia With Love [Blu-ray] [1963]From Russia With Love [Blu-ray] [1963]
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £9.00
Simply the finest of the James Bond series; this movie provided the benchmark by which all future Bond films would be judged. A well-plotted cold war thriller,
Casino Royale (Deluxe Edition) [Blu-ray] [2006]Casino Royale (Deluxe Edition) [Blu-ray] [2006]
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £7.40
Casino Royale was the finest James Bond movie in years. Daniel Craig gives the character emotional depth not seen since Ohmss in 1969 and Connery's early days,
Goldeneye [DVD] [1995]Goldeneye [DVD] [1995]
Buy new: £7.38 / Used from: £3.30
Pierce Brosnan and Martin Campbell (director of the BBC's classic eco-thriller Edge of Darkness) brought the Bond series back from the brink of oblivion Brosnan gives his only good performance as Bond
Dr. No [Blu-ray] [1962]Dr. No [Blu-ray] [1962]
Buy new: £10.47 / Used from: £8.77
James Bond's cinematic debut is an exotic mystery with a few classic moments along the way; Sean Connery's introduction and the first shot of Ursula Andress are cinematic legends
On Her Majesty's Secret Service [DVD] [1969]On Her Majesty's Secret Service [DVD] [1969]
Buy used from: £29.99
A great story, striking locations, beautiful cinematography, great score, and even George Lazenby is charismatic and unconventional as Bond. Diana Rigg also proves to be impressive as Tracy
Licence To Kill [DVD] [1989]Licence To Kill [DVD] [1989]
An Underrated Bond movie, and certainly not one for the younger fans, it is nevertheless a solid action thriller, and is easily the most compelling thing the more theatre-inclined Dalton has done
The Spy Who Loved Me [DVD] [1977]The Spy Who Loved Me [DVD] [1977]
Buy new: £14.78 / Used from: £4.85
Roger Moore's best film (James Bond or otherwise), this one went out of its way to be a `big' event movie, and in most respects it succeeded. Barbara Bach is stunning and Richard Kiel is impressive
The Living Daylights [DVD] [1987]The Living Daylights [DVD] [1987]
Buy used from: £7.95
My personal favourite of all the James Bond movies, Timothy Dalton's debut in the role is an original, hard-edged cold war adventure film with interesting characters,a realistic plot and strong acting
Quantum of Solace [Blu-ray] [2008]Quantum of Solace [Blu-ray] [2008]
Buy new: £14.98 / Used from: £7.15
This is a stunning, carefully composed, meaty film. For the first time we have an emotionally and psychologically coherent Bond.
For Your Eyes Only [Blu-ray] [1981]For Your Eyes Only [Blu-ray] [1981]
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £8.89
Roger Moore gives possibly his most impressive movie performance.Countering Moore's natural urbanity and preference for comedy with plenty of scenes in which he has to flex his acting muscles.
You Only Live Twice [DVD] [1967]You Only Live Twice [DVD] [1967]
Buy new: £12.98 / Used from: £6.97
You Only Live Twice is still an exciting, enjoyably daft Bond adventure, with the great Donald Pleasence excelling as a memorably evil (if cartoonish) Blofeld.The set design for the volcano is awesome
Thunderball [Blu-ray] [1965]Thunderball [Blu-ray] [1965]
Buy new: £9.88 / Used from: £9.38
Connery's thinning hair will raise a smile, and Luciana Paluzzi's nymphomaniac villainess will raise something else, but the film itself is a smug, uninvolving piece of formulaic movie-making;
Live And Let Die [Blu-ray] [1973]Live And Let Die [Blu-ray] [1973]
Buy new: £10.98
Roger Moore's debut in the role of James Bond is a pleasingly dated blaxploitation pastiche, which, though it has not aged well, still endures as an entertainingly oddball 1970s' crime thriller.
The World Is Not Enough [Blu-ray] [1999]The World Is Not Enough [Blu-ray] [1999]
Buy new: £10.88 / Used from: £10.45
Though it's an undeniable improvement on Tomorrow Never Dies, Pierce Brosnan's third James Bond film isn't that great either. Denise Richards is disastrous. For Brosnan's Bond, time was running out
Tomorrow Never Dies [DVD] [1997]Tomorrow Never Dies [DVD] [1997]
Tomorrow Never Dies is an average action film which makes it a below average Bond movie. The action sequences are OK, but beyond that its just a lackluster Bond film.
A View To A Kill [DVD] [1985]A View To A Kill [DVD] [1985]
Buy used from: £5.38
Roger Moore's final effort in the role, in which his age (fifty-seven in 1985), is plainly and ridiculousy apparent he looks incongruous, ancient, and exhausted; Not terrible, just rather dull movie
Octopussy [DVD] [1983]Octopussy [DVD] [1983]
This silly film really should have been Moore's last in the role, and is only really memorable for inspiring Homer Simpson's immortal line: 'You know what's great about you English? Octopussy.
Diamonds Are Forever [DVD] [1971]Diamonds Are Forever [DVD] [1971]
Buy used from: £12.94
Sean Connery was paid over a million dollars to return to the role of Bond in this flabby comedy-thriller with nonsensical storyline, torrent of gay jokes, weak climax, and disinterested acting
The Man With The Golden Gun [DVD] [1974]The Man With The Golden Gun [DVD] [1974]
Buy used from: £8.95
Bond vs Dracula and a midget ! Roger Moore's second film in the series is possibly the very worst; like Diamonds Are Forever, it forsakes plot logic and any attempts at realism for low-brow comedy,
Moonraker [Blu-ray] [1979]Moonraker [Blu-ray] [1979]
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £9.41
Bond In Space! Moore at his worst! Jaws a good guy! and a disastrous attempt to emulate Star Wars
Die Another Day [Blu-ray] [2002]Die Another Day [Blu-ray] [2002]
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £10.42
Invisible cars and dodgy CGI footage? Please! Madonna teaching Fencing! Bond became a caricature of himself. The effects are like some laughable amateur effort on YouTube.
