[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 9600512, member: 1"] I’ve been working my way through from the start. I’ve just finished Golden Gun. Next up is The Spy Who Loved Me. 007 ratings so far (007 is max Bond; these are only relative to each other, not films in general). 004 is average so anything under that is a bad Bond film, everything over is a good Bond film. Based solely on how much fun they were; yes I know some of them have problematic issues, especially YOLT and LALD (ironically the two most fun films on the list).
