Ranking Bond: The Articles
Here’s a compilation of all the articles I’ve written about the Bond franchise.
In all cases, there will be links to the individual articles. There will also be some added articles here that weren’t published before, mostly because I don’t have much to say about them and just wanted to include them for trivia/information purposes. (Just like the Ranking Disney articles.) Oh, and I’ve decided to list them from bottom to top, to add a little bit of suspense to them, in case people haven’t read the articles.
Ranking the Bond Movies (My List)
(Note: Now that I’ve updated the list, some of the films won’t be ranked the way they were for the articles. So if you click on a film that’s, say, #12, and you see that it was #10 when I wrote the articles, know that it’s because the article was written BEFORE Skyfall came out. I know this needs to be explained, because if it isn’t, some idiot will bring it up. That’s how these things work. There’s always some idiot.)
