You Only Live Twice | James Bond 007 Movies #RANKED Ep. 005

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
4. Thunderball

YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE: Another battle for the bottom of the list as the gentlemen of RANKED argue the merits of Sean Connery's (almost) final James Bond 007 film. "You Only Live Twice" opens with the death of Bond James Bond, a ruse meant to throw his enemies (namely Spectre) off of his trail, allowing him to investigate the disappearance of an American space capsule, hijacked mid-flight by a mysterious enemy missile. Bond must locate the missing space ship before the Americans attack Russia, who they accuse of being behind the hijacking. Oh, and Bond turns Japanese.
