A prophetic look at "fake news" and media manipulation. Jonathan Pryce is a hammy delight as a Murdoch-esque villain, and Michelle Yeoh is arguably the most capable ally Bond ever had. 16. The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Brosnan is great, and Sophie Marceau is one of the best "Bond Girls" in history, but the film is dragged down by Denise Richards’ widely panned casting as a nuclear physicist and a lackluster climax. 20. Moonraker (1979) all james bond movies in order best
Timothy Dalton’s second and final film was decades ahead of its time. It’s a brutal, bloody revenge story that paved the way for the darker Daniel Craig era. 13. For Your Eyes Only (1981) A prophetic look at "fake news" and media manipulation
After the absurdity of Moonraker , the series returned to its spycraft roots. This is Roger Moore’s most grounded and "tough" performance, featuring great mountain climbing and underwater sequences. 12. No Time to Die (2021) The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) Brosnan
A bizarre mix of Cold War tension and circus antics (including Bond in clown makeup). It’s surprisingly better than people remember, featuring some truly impressive practical stunts. 17. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
