James Bond

Many years ago John decided that it would be cool to watch every James Bond movie. I’m not sure what he was thinking, but I went along with it. We only made it about halfway through them. I’m something of a finisher, so I felt I needed to finish the job even though massive amounts of brain cells poured out of my ears and onto the floor every time I watched one. I just watched the last one tonight. I was rating these movies as I watched them, so I now have a rated list for you all that will hopefully scare you away from the worst of them. I rated them 1-5 with 5 being pretty good for a James Bond movie, 3 being watchable, and 1 being just plain terrible. So, here’s the list:

5
From Russia With Love (1963-Sean Connery)
Diamonds Are Forever (1971-Sean Connery)
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977-Roger Moore)

4
Live and Let Die (1973-Roger Moore)
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974-Roger Moore)
Moonraker (1979-Roger Moore)

Casino Royale (2006-Daniel Craig)

3
Dr. No (1962-Sean Connery)
Goldfinger (1964-Sean Connery)
Thunderball (1965-Sean Connery)
You Only Live Twice (1967-Sean Connery)

Never Say Never Again (1983-Sean Connery)
Octopussy (1983-Roger Moore)
A View to a Kill (1985-Roger Moore)
Licence to Kill (1989-Timothy Dalton)

    I always wanted to finish these but could never remember where we stopped! And yes, massive, massive brain cell lossage.

    “For Your Eyes Only” was the last one we watched together. I couldn’t forget that. It’s possibly the most painful to watch outside of the original “Casino Royale”. I think the only thing that could make it worse is if it had Pierce Brosnan in it instead of Roger Moore. Pierce Brosnan as Bond: (insert disgusted shiver here).
