Rate the Bond Decades by sheer Re-watchability

I'll make an exception with NSNA )

The Wicker Man

60's - 10/10 - What an incredible achievement, 6 Bond films in 8 years, all of them quality!
70's - 8/10 - The camp era, brilliant fun. (apart from 1).
80's - 8/10 - Reining in recent excesses produced some fantastic films.
90's - 7/10 - Brosnan era - only 3 films, not my favourite but still very entertaining.
00's - 7/10 - Again only 3 films. 1 massive favourite (no not DAD).

I do tend to re-watch the older films more often but I enjoy them all (apart from 1).

The way I see it is that bad movies shouldn't count against a decade, necessarily. Moreso, the good ones should count for it.

I could punish AVTAK by ranking the 80's lower, but it wouldn't be fair to the films in that decade I really enjoyed.

I moreso count weak movies as an omission.

In THAT case, let me revise...

60's- 10/10
70's- 8/10
80's- 10/10
90's- 9/10
01's through now- 9/10

AlphaOmegaSin

I'll revise my original Score of 5/10 for the 20's as well. I'll now give it a 7/10.

20's? Bond aint that old...

1 - 80's
2 - 70's
3 - 60's
4 - 90's
5 - 00's

60's - 8/10 (Dr. No, Goldfinger & OHMSS are among the films of this decade I have watched time and time again. FRWL is great but I would hardly call it "re-watchable". Thunderball has zero re-watchability for me.)

70's - 9/10 (All the films from this decade are infinitely re-watchable regardless of quality.)

80's - 6/10 (Of this decade I consider Octopussy to be the most re-watchable entry, although I like FYEO and The Living Daylights considerably.

90's - 7/10 (GoldenEye & Tomorrow Never Dies. TWINE has some great moments, but a bit of a slog overall.)

00's - 5/10 (Casino Royale & not much else.)

10's - 2/10 (I haven't revisited Skyfall in its entirety since it first came out & I'm not really itching to, either. Maybe SPECTRE will change the way I feel about the current direction of Bond. We'll see!)

How about we just go straight to most re-watched movies from here?

Mine are (currently):

DN
YOLT
LALD
TND
QOS

It's not a real Bond film, so don't waste your time. I hope people who rate the 80s low aren't doing so because of this film.

Mine are FRWL, GF, YOLT, OHMSS, MR, FYEO and TLD.

Firemass

60s, 70's and 80's, and 90's are the most re-watchable for me.

All the 60's films are brilliant pieces of cinema but I don't think that always translates as immensely rewatchable. For an easy watch ideally you want something reasonably quickly paced, simple plot, good amount of well done action and upbeat nature/humour. I would say that DN, GF and YOLT satisfy this best while FRWL, OHMSS and TB don't for whatever reason so are probably best watched less often to avoid burnout despite certainly OHMSS being a better film.

Yes, I agree. -{

Absolutely_Cart

Yea, I agree. For example I've watched Quantum of Solace more times than Casino Royale '06 and Skyfall. Not because it's better but because it was shorter, well paced, action packed and more escapist.

AlphaOmegaSin

I'd say that GE is a classic -{

20's as in the 2000's

I gathered. It should be 00's though. 2020 will be the 20's

AlphaOmegaSin

Yes, your right I should of made it more clearer.

Not strange at all- it's a total blast! It has a strange charm I find, like DAF on steroids.

60's - 8/10: FRWL, TB, and YOLT are high rewatches for me. The rest I watch on more reserved occasions.

70's - 10/10: I just love watching this set of films over and over even though DAF is my personal least favorite I return to it often.

80's - 10/10: All but LTK are high rewatches. Love LTK but watch it more occasionally due to its more serious nature.

90's - 7/10: Have trouble rewatching TWINE, the other two I return to pretty often

00's - 5/10: CR is one of my all time rewatches, but the other two are among the ones I return to the fewest.

10's - 4/10: SF is a phenomenal movie, but I can't rewatch the same movie over and over! Need more of a sample size here.

AlphaOmegaSin

Since we have only had one Film so far this Decade (SP doesn't count yet) you can't really rate it yet.
