The top 2 is a pretty good representation of the Bond series. We have Goldfinger, perhaps the most popular Bond villain, and Blofeld, the man that is so embedded in all things Bond.
The top 20 is also pretty great, well except for the occasional anomaly, Xenia Onatopp and Max Zorin, anyone?

Kirk, leave Xenia alone. X-( She is a top 3 villain at least. I have to say, that with the exception of Max Zorin and Aris Kristatos, I'm pretty happy with the top 20 as well (albeit not the order.)

Cmon, Dan, doesn't Oddjob get you all hot and bothered? Stunning looks aside, Xenia is a competent villainess; not top of the line but not bad at all.

As a matter of fact while Xenia is my all-time third favourite villain, Oddjob is second on my list, so I am rather angry (if that's what you mean by 'hot and bothered' )) that Oddjob didn't even make the top 5. But, as with the film elimination game in which GF failed to even make the top 2, I have long learned that GF and its characters are too good for the peasants on this board.

Zorin is a brilliant villain, I can't understand why some don't like him
I like Zorin just fine, but he's hardly top 5 material, much less top 15.
Indeed. IMO there has been so many great villains in the Bond series, that even though I love Christopher Walken and Zorin is one of the few things I like about AVTAK, I don't think he belongs in the top 20, let alone the top 5.

I think that Zenia is top 20 material, but not good enough to make it in the top 10 IMO. I think Zorin is a wonderful villain, definitely top 10 material. Also, what's wrong with Kristatos? He's deserves to be in the top 20. He was realistic, cunning, and deceiving. A great villain.
Fiona Volpe's resilient venom might have deserved a better rank than Largo's. {[]
What!? Largo was much better than Volpe. She wasn't even the villain of the movie. Largo was number 2 in SPECTRE. Nobody beats that rank but Blofeld. He had an awesome boat, a shark pool, and a sinister eye patch. Definitely a great villain IMO.
Also, what's wrong with Kristatos? He's deserves to be in the top 20. He was realistic, cunning, and deceiving. A great villain..
He was a pretty good villain. However I found him to be a bit unmemorable. I think he was a top 25 villain, but not a top 20 villain. Franz Sanchez, Elektra King, Tee Hee, Nick Nack, Fiona Volpe and Kamal Khan were superior IMO.
He had an awesome boat, a shark pool, and a sinister eye patch. Definitely a great villain IMO.
I agree. He was a great villain. However I don't think he deserved to make the top 10.

An interesting list, although IMO Goldfinger was the greatest villain of all time. Listen, I have an idea. Let's continue the elimination game for a few more rounds to determine which Blofeld is the winner. Is it the Blofeld from YOLT, OHMSS or DAF? What do people think? We can put up a list of the three Blofelds (or four if we want to include FRWL/TB) and we can then use three saves to begin with, and the Blofeld that wins is the most popular one.

Nah. Leave it. Its all one character. Move on to top Bond girl or best actor/actress
However they were played differently and by different actors. I still think we should rank the Blofelds.

Maybe another time. But, I think we should do actors or maybe even the bond gadgets. -{
Thats easy. They are all tied for last. Game over man (Pvt. Hudson)
You may not be a big fan of the gadgets, but you have to admitt, some of the gadgets (such as the ejector seat) were pretty good.

Ejector seat you must be joking.
Why? ?:) It's a brilliant gadget.

A gadgets game I would probably not participate in as I don't really follow them that much.
Bond girls one would be really good.
Some time ago I was thinking about one with the films - I know there's already been one with the films, but that was the + and - method (which I personally can't stand), and the method that I introduced (the save and still left) might display completely different results to the previous game. Infact, I know the results would be different, as I personally would not allow AVTAK to be first out!
