I guess partly. I agree with some cases, but then there are those I disagree with.

I can't see why Kara and Pam would be on the worst list, when there are other candidates that should take their places such as Kissy from YOLT and Jinx from DAD. But then again EW considers the Dalton films the worst of the series.

And why isn't Jane Seymour on the best list?! Rubbish.

My Top 10 would be:

THE TEN BEST BOND BABES

10. OCTOPUSSY (Maud Adams)
Octopussy (1983)

9. PAM BOUVIER (Carey Lowell)
Licence to Kill (1989)

8. XENIA ONATOPP (Famke Janssen)
GoldenEye (1995)

7. DOMINO (Claudine Auger)
Thunderball (1965)

6. SOLITAIRE (Jane Seymour)
Live and Let Die (1973)

5. FIONA VOLPE (Luciana Paluzzi)
Thunderball (1965)

4. VESPER LYND (Eva Green)
Casino Royale (2006)

3. TRACY DI VICENZO (Diana Rigg)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)

2. TATIANA ROMANOVA (Daniela Bianchi)
From Russia with Love (1964)

1. HONEY RYDER (Ursula Andress)
Dr. No (1962)

Since it says Bond "Babes" I'd assumed that it meant based on looks. but since Rosa Klebb is on the best list then I guess that rules out it being based on looks.

We actually agree on something. Pam Bouvier is one of the better Bond girls.

If you read the article, it says along the lines "she's not a babe, but she's a great female villain".

Still even by that case she shouldn't be on that list, she should be on the villain list.

Oh,:?
I read the title "THE TEN BEST BOND BABES" and assumed it meant what it said.

As a villain she is ok, but I'm not even sure she'd belongs in the top 10 of those.

I don't really agree with a top ten Bond girls list. I can't really seperate the best - I like them all.

I could do a top ten if there was a specific criteria - such as best looking, best "character" etc. If I had to list them all I could, but there would be little difference between number 1 and last place. I'll continue my hardline stance and state that I would not include the Casino Royale girls; I don't regard them as part of the old Bond series. If I had to include the CR girls, then I would have to include the girls from the other Casino Royale film.

I see Eva is quite high at number four - just shows how fashionable Casino Royale is. Even those who loved Casino Royale said she was rubbish!

I'm not going to post a list. but I'll say Vesper Lynch is a Plain Jane and should not be on the list. There are a thousand and one women like her roaming the plains of Kansas. I'm sure once "the Olga Show" begins in November people will forget all about her.

I think that list is a bit harsh on Maryam d'Abo.
