Best Bond Film Results
3rd October 2012
It began late last year when MI6 launched a
poll to find the most and least loved James Bond films from the
22
outings in the EON
Productions series to date. It quickly became the biggest independent
Bond fan survey ever, taken at a time when votes would be unlikely
to be swayed by the hype of a new movie, not hitched to a product
or company, and available worldwide. The format
was simple: tick the five
007 films you like the most, and the five you like the least.
No complicated forms, surveys, ranking systems, essays
or tie-breaker questions. Just a list of 22 films with check
boxes
opened up
to the audience of the world's most visited independent Bond
website. With over 15,000 votes tabulated from true Bond fans,
MI6 can now reveal the
results.
Raw. Unfiltered.
Unbiased.
#5 GoldenEye |
#4 On Her Majesty's
Secret Service |

Speaking about the results, MI6
Confidential magazine editor
Hugh Maddocks said, "The result may surprise some people,
but the sheer sample size of the vote means this cannot be explained
away as an anomaly or rounding error. When
you consider how the demographic
of Bond
fans has shifted over
the years, it's time for a reassessment of how the series stacks
up."
#3 From Russia With
Love |
#2 Goldfinger |
|
On the subject of the number one choice, Maddocks
said, "Few would have guessed back in early 2006 that the
reboot with Daniel Craig would be so phenomenally successful.
But don't overlook that Sean Connery is up there twice in the
top
three,
and a strong
film with 'cult status'
is at
number four, all from the 1960s. If 'Skyfall' can get close to
this group of quality films
then we're in for a
very
special
50th anniversary."
#1 Casino Royale
|
The table below lists the results of the 'most
favoured' James Bond films by the fans. "Casino Royale" scored
the highest percentage of fans who included it in their top five
favourite films from
the series, and conversely, "Moonraker" scored the
lowest percentage of fans who ticked
it as one
of
their five most liked.
