The Best And Worst James Bond Films
Pretty good list. Note that his lists are internally inconsistent. One example: according to his "worst Moore" list, A View to a Kill was worse than The Man With the Golden Gun, but his "worst overall" list doesn't include a View to a Kill and does include The Man With The Golden Gun.

The IMDb list agrees with six of his top seven (not in the same order), substituting On Her Majesty's Secret Service for The Living Daylights. I agree with IMDb.

IMDB is not so much in agreement with his "worst" list. He does not have A View to a Kill on his list, and that's rated the very lowest at IMDb, and he does not include The World is Not Enough, which is rated fourth worst at IMDB. Instead of those two abominations he lists Diamonds are Forever and The Man With the Golden Gun. Again, I have to say IMDb seems to have the better selections. Diamonds are Forever and The Man With the Golden Gun were both directed by Guy Hamilton, who directed Goldfinger, and they are not so bad, if not quite up to Goldfinger's standard.

IMDb has always listed the first three Bonds as the best three, but the new Bond has, at least temporarily, taken the top spot and knocked the originals to 2-3-4. My guess is that the new one will eventually settle into the #2 spot behind Goldfinger.
