My rankings are:

  1. You Only Live Twice
  2. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
  3. Diamonds Are Forever
  4. Skyfall
  5. The World Is Not Enough

Looking at all these films in this category further drives home the point to me that the actual locations used and most definitely the set design from the Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan eras and even on through the Daniel Craig era pales in comparison to the first half of the series. Ken Adam was definitely incomparable. (But even Syd Cain [OHMSS] and Peter Murton [TMWTGG] put together some good sets too, that better any of the more recent output.)

I love the way Ken Adam’s designs for DAF mesh with actual locations. Where Adam ends and Las Vegas begins is smudged (at the least).
