Is Timothy or Sean your favourite? Do you prefer the ones set in a tropical paradise or a snowy resort? Does a good henchman matter, or is it more about the villain? These are the kinds of questions we throw about when deciding what makes a great 007 movie.
With the release of the 24th Bond film ‘SPECTRE’ imminent, we decided to rank the other 23, starting from the worst and ending with officially the greatest ever.

23. ‘Die Another Day’ (2002)

Invisible cars, rubbish Madonna theme tune (and embarrassing cameo), dull plot – there’s not much right with Pierce Brosnan’s final appearance in the franchise. The filmmakers were clearly in need of new ideas and were right to reboot subsequently. There are a couple of interesting elements in Halle Berry’s agent Jinx, whose much-vaunted spin-off never happened, as well as Bond being a prisoner of war at the beginning. Still, Rosamund Pike managed to shake it off and become a Oscar-nominated actress, so that’s lucky.
22. ‘Quantum Of Solace’ (2008)

Just what is going on in this one? After the bombast of ‘Casino Royale’, Daniel Craig’s sophomore effort is muddled and (shock horror) a bit boring. Olga Kurylenko is certainly one of the most beautiful sidekicks in the series and there’s a pretty great car chase at the beginning, but that’s about it. The writer’s strike, which saw the cast and crew proceed without a proper script, may’ve been to blame for this one.
