SFX's 50th Anniversary James Bond Poll - The Results!

Licence to vote! The results of SFX's 50th anniversary James Bond poll are here!

Unless you've been incarcerated in Colonel Moon's North Korean fortress stronghold of late it can't have escaped your attention that the big screen Bond franchise has reached its golden anniversary. To celebrate this cinematic milestone we knocked back a veritable Fort Knox's worth of Martinis - yes, we were shaken and slurred - and decided to poll you, the SFX readership, on your all time favourite 007 movies.

With Skyfall released in the UK today, it's time to slice open the manila MI6 file marked Eyes Only and reveal the results. If your fave doesn't make the top 10 please don't retaliate by kidnapping supertankers or unleashing the Omega virus. It's only a bit of fun. Not worth blackmailing the world over.
