Sony Pictures has announced that the 24th installment in the 007 series will be titled “Spectre”. Returning James Bond, Mr. Daniel Craig, will be joined by Ralph Fiennes and new villain Christoph Waltz (a perfect casting choice), along with returning director Sam Mendes (who helped earn 2012’s “Skyfall” two Oscars and a total of 5 nominations). “Spectre” hasn’t begun shooting, even though the release date is a mere 11 months away – November 6, 2015.
So, to mark this occasion, here’s my ranking of all 24 James Bond movie titles (the titles only), from Best to Worst:
1. “Thunderball”
2. “You Only Live Twice”
3. “Tomorrow Never Dies”
4. “Dr. No”
