Wow, I'm with you on disagreeing with that list. I'll have to pull up a couple and see how they compare.

That might have been the Peter Principle in action...but when people would tell me what a cool job that must have been, having the big hot dog all around you, all I could think of was how crappy those vehicles are to drive. I can only assume
Winnebagos are more driver friendly than they were in the 1970s, because that thing was NOT fun to drive at all, some kind of Chrysler-Plymouth chassis that incorporated all the harrowing effects and shoddy quality of American cars during that ugly era. Almost killed me once with a stuck accelerator on a snow covered road.
I would have loved having John Madden as a driving companion, but I did have Harvey the Husky, a heroic companion in his own right.
I think there is a yoooge timing issue with that kind of list...If you look at that Tomatometer for Casino Royale back in 1967 (or whatever), there were only forty-some reviews; Spectre in 2015 had an order of magnitude more, something in the 400+ range...furthermore, what one (or we) might think about a particular film 50 years ago might not jibe with our view today...
In other words, if all Bond films were assessed now, by current critics, we might well see a different standing.
Why does no one say Lemons and Pears?
Brownies, more cake like or more fudge like?
Chicken tikka masala and cauliflower-chick pea curry for dinner tonight.
Jalapeño poppers, cream cheese or cheddar?
