39. The Bourne Ultimatium


The Bourne Ultimatum kicks ass! It's a blazing chase from start to finish, punctuated with confusing fight scenes that Paul Greengrass will seemingly never get right (I'd like to see what's actually happening rather than a load of confusing steady cam mess).

Although the film doesn't overly suffer from this as the whole cast are rip roaring evil or heroic in equal measure. A top spy romp and certainly better than any of the Bonds with Crap Bond.

29. Diamonds Are Forever


The 7th and final Bond Film for Sean Connery is still a cracker.

It delivers on all the Bond notables; Head cracking violence (pretty poorly shot in places) car chases (a quality run through Las Vegas in the Mustang) babes (Lana Wood's Plenty O'Toole especially) gadgets (guaranteed Casino wins for Q) an amazing soundtrack (take a bow the legendary John Barry) some top quality villains (Blofeld, plus the excellent psycho double act Mr. Kidd & Mr. Wint) and of course the quips:

Plenty O'Toole: Hi, I'm Plenty.
James Bond: But of course you are.
Plenty O'Toole: Plenty O'Toole.
James Bond: Named after your father perhaps? 

Braziliant!!
