now THAT will be interesting to see !!!!I'll put together our average ratings for all of these movies if anybody else wants to give their lists.
Also @Hymie, where would you put No Time to Die and @MovieFreakedMind where would you put Spectre?
I'd put No Time to Die at number 9 I suppose, right between Goldfinger and Live and Let DieI'll put together our average ratings for all of these movies if anybody else wants to give their lists.

I mean as I look at all these rankings It’s hard to see how any averages could be meaningful. I see people with more or less my same top five and then *boom* Moonraker at six. For me, there’s just too many Bond films for me to make an accurate list. But I know the ones I love and the ones I hate. I want to revisit the Dalton Bond movies because I can’t say I have strong memories of them but so many here seem to hold them in high regard, but every time I’ve attempted to watch they’ve seemed more dated than the Connery movies to me. I do think an average would be interesting though. I think the most interesting take would be the best Bond actor by the overall success of the movies. For example, I think Connery and Craig have the best overall track record, despite some misfires, while Moore and Brosnan have the worst track record despite having some of the overall best Bond movies.I'll put together our average ratings for all of these movies if anybody else wants to give their lists.

Right. My point, though, was to evaluate each actor’s oeuvre as Bond, not how you personally react to each actor as Bond. For example, I think Lazenby isn’t particularly great (nor is he as horrible as many contend) but he has one of the better Bond movies IMO. Similarly, though Goldeneye is great and I generally like Brosnan, I think the overall quality of his run is subpar.I know that many really like Mr. Dalton, but I found him miserable and wooden. Connery could do no wrong, and Moore I loved from The Saint, so what can I say. Brosnan sat between Moore and Connery for me, just hampered by questionable material in places. Craig...5 movies and I just could not warm to him; to me it was "that chap playing Bond"; I was never drawn in by him despite two of his being in my top 10 - GO FIGURE !
Roll on Mr. Bond / 007, 6 (7, 8 or 9), depending on how and who you count.
For me, enjoyment and their body of work, go hand in hand...Right. My point, though, was to evaluate each actor’s oeuvre as Bond, not how you personally react to each actor as Bond.

Better. I still think Moore and Brosnan, while they could be quite good as the character, starred in some utterly atrocious movies. So if easily put others above them. Again, not to say they weren’t good or there weren’t good Bond movies starring them, but on the whole their talents were largely wasted by very subpar movies.For me, enjoyment and their body of work, go hand in hand...
How about ranking BONDS, overall oeuvre?
Mine would be:
- Connery
- Craig
- Moore
- Brosnan
- Lazenby
- Nelson (it's on YouTube)
- Niven
- Dalton
