Runners-Up: GOLDFINGER (1964)[A number of great moments, but the meandering plot is all over the place and the pacing is totally off.] * THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (1977) [Really enjoyable, but Roger Moore hadn't managed to make the role his own yet and the plot is totally ripped off from You Only Live Twice.] * THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH (1999) [Brosnan's best performance as Bond, his best script and a great supporting cast, but not quite enough to make the top ten.]
