Thunderball | James Bond 007 Movies #RANKED Ep. 004

Follow along as we review each film in the James Bond series, ranking them against each other as we go. The list gets a little longer with every new episode, and in the end we'll have a complete ranking from top to bottom of our most favorite to least favorite. But no matter how high or low each movie goes, we love and adore each and every one of them, because nobody does it better than 007. So comment below with your personal ranking of these films and let us know if you agree or disagree with our list!

PREVIOUS EPISODE RANKED LIST:
1. Goldfinger
2. From Russia With Love
3. Dr. No

THUNDERBALL: The ranking continues with the epic and spectacular Thunderball. While the movie is fantastical and fun, does its reach exceed it's grasp? Sean Connery returns for the biggest James Bond 007 movie yet. "Thunderball" once again pits James Bond against Spectre, the evil organization responsible for the events of Dr. No and From Russia With Love. The organization makes good on the "Extortion" portion of their name when they steal an atomic bomb from NATO, and threaten to destroy a major Western city if the NATO governments refuse to hand over a ton of money. When the entirety of MI6 is tasked with finding the bomb, Bond follows a lead to Nassau where he has a run-in with Emilio Largo, number 2 of Spectre, and the man responsible for the crime.
