From Diamonds Are Forever, to Live and Let Die, to The Spy Who Loved Me, we've ranked every James Bond movie of the 1970s by entertainment value.
The 1970s were an interesting “growing period” for the James Bond franchise, which had expanded rapidly since its debut in 1962. The series had already included a few classics by the end of the prior decade, but it struggled to come up with a new direction after the mixed response to On Her Majesty’s Secret Service ensured that George Lazenby would not be reprising his role as 007. Sean Connery may have returned for one more shot at playing Bond (at least for EON), but it didn’t mean that the series could go back to relying on its old tricks.
