Every James Bond Film, Ranked From Worst To Best

As the song goes, “Nobody does it better”. But which James Bond movie really does it best?

Across almost six decades there have been 24 films and six actors, each an essential entry into the history of 007. And how do you rate a Bond film? The style? The action? The villain? The girl? The car? The gadgets? The cheeky one-liner?

The answer is all of the above, of course. But the good news is, you don’t have to rate the Bond films, because we’ve done it for you. Here’s the definitive ranking of Bond, James Bond.

24. Die Another Day (2001)

Pierce Brosnan’s final outing took Bond to Iceland for an adventure that will leave you cold: it’s quite simply the worst Bond film ever made. After bringing Bond into the ’90s, Brosnan’s tenure descends into a parody of the franchise with this computer effects-heavy farce – Bond drives an invisible car, kite surfs on a tidal wave, and fights a diamond-encrusted henchman (yes, you read that right). Plus, an ear-splitting dance theme by Madonna.

The Style: Wintery vibes with a double-breasted guards coat over grey pinstripe

The Car: Erm, invisible

The Gadget: A weaponised surfboard

The One-Liner: “Saved by the bell,” Bond quips after saving himself from plummeting to his death by hanging on a giant bell

23. Diamonds Are Forever (1971)

After stepping down for replacement 007 George Lazenby, Sean Connery returns for one last go as 007 – chasing down Blofeld to Vegas for murdering his bride in the previous film. Connery is stodgier and more obviously wearing a toupee than ever before (certainly not the sex panther we’ve become accustomed to) but it’s also very daft: cartoon baddies, a silly fight with some ladies, and arch-nemesis Blofeld disguising himself as a middle-aged woman.

The Style: Connery switches up his regular tux look with a navy velvet dinner jacket
