Sexiest Bond girl ever == Jane Seymour (IMO)

Denise Richards(#1 worst) as "nuclear scientist" was funny, but let's face it...the people making this move knew that going in. She's easy on the eyes, that's what matters.

Denise Richards was horribly miscast, but it did allow for a great quip from Brosnan:

I agree with most of the Best and Worst lists, although maybe not the order they're ranked.

My only issues would be with the following:

1) Halle Berry as one of the best Bond Girls. Jinx sucked. There's a reason they never did a spinoff movie with her.

2) Carey Lowell as one of the worst Bond Girls. The idea that she falls head over heels for Timothy Dalton's Bond was silly, but she's one of the better tough Bond Girls in the series. Certainly better than Jinx IMO. Hell, if they wanna rag on a bad Bond Girl in Licence To Kill, go with Talisa Soto's Lupe.

3) Tiffany Case as one of the best. Are you kidding me? She was the first truly wretched Bond Girl to come along.

4) Rosa Klebb is great......but she's a Bond villain, not a Bond Girl.

I'd take Britt Ekland off the list -- when she wore that bikini...

#1 was a no-brainer (in more ways than one!)

I'm surprised Teri Hatcher didn't make the list. Complete waste of a character.

Britt Ekland shouldn't be on that list for the reasons Geofferson mentioned.

Also, Holly Goodhead and Octopussy have (some of) the best Bond girl names.

I was a little bummed on how high they had Maryam D'Abo. I actually liked her character and um..I still think she's a cutie pie.

I think the only one on that list that I agree with 100% (or can remember) was Tanya Roberts...but then the only thing i ever liked about "A View to a Kill" was the theme song.

Denise Richards wasn't *THAT* bad. She should still be on the list, but not at #1.

And the chick from "The Living Daylights" wasn't as bad as she is made out to be.

No love for Live and Let Die. Both the best and worst Bond girls in the same film.

I'm assuming they didn't use Hendry because she was a double agent. But then again, they included Helga Brandt (Haven't seen YOLT in a long time, but I don't remember her being in no more than 2 scenes)

Basinger wasn't included because Never Say Never isn't part of the "official" Bond franchise.

Surprised Madonna isn't on the list since she was in the last movie or are they just counting the main female in the movie.

Denise Richards would have made for a much more impressive Bond girl if they had utilized her computer throwing skills in the movie.

Britt may have looked good, but her character (the world's most incompetent spy) was a complete idiot. If this movie had been released more recently, she would have been a lot higher on the list.

Personally, I don't think Maud Adams belongs on the list. I liked her character and she had a mature look to her that most Bond girls lack.

I thought the whole point was that she was a n00b.

On the "Worst List", where's Grace Jones (May Day)?

And on the "Best List", what the hell is Halle Berry (Jinx) doing there? She is easily one of the worst Bond Girls ever!
