Beautiful! Glad to see Die Another Day in last place among the EON productions. A View to a Kill did predictably poor, unfortunately.

Very curious what happens; lots of good ones in all three categories not yet out there!

[Rodney-2187]

I thought Telly Savalas would be higher.

[sandman slim]

Awesome graphics, Juels! Y'all are really raising the bar on these polls lately.

[The Sovereign]

Wow, spot on for those bottom seven films - exactly the ones I would have put there. And even though my order would have been slightly different, Never Say Never Again would have definitely been last. Bond playing a video game is just painful to watch.

Unfortunately, that is the scene I think of when I think of that film. I thought it would be fitting for the presentation lol.

Never Say Never is an unfortunate film for sure---

My favorite Bond actor, as well as my favorite actor period... in a grand return to Bond!

Lame action scenes, atrocious music score, bloated running time follow....

but it does offer the fun of seeing Connery as 007 again, Kim Basinger is beautiful, and Barbara Carrera adds a lot of fun in the villainous role.

It's a bottom-tier Bond, but I still enjoy them all.

No Casino Royale (1967) yet, so better than all those EON Bond films??!!???

W.T.F

If it beats Goldeneye then Woody Allen is officially a better Bond than Pierce Brosnan LOL
