10 best Daniel Craig movies ever, ranked
Daniel Craig as James Bond in Spectre (2015).

This month, Daniel Craig earned the best reviews of his career for Luca Guadagnino’s acclaimed drama Queer. But the veteran English actor has always had an interesting career, from his early roles in The Power of One and Tales from the Crypt to his more recent films like the Knives Out mysteries.

A reconsideration of his filmography is, therefore, expected and warranted -- not dismissing his revolutionary 15 years as James Bond but putting them in the context of the variegated career out of which they sprang. So prep those martinis (shaken or stirred) and sharpen those knives -- here are the 10 best Daniel Craig films.

50 years ago, the best worst James Bond movie came out
James Bond aims his gun in The Man with the Golden Gun.

More so than any other entertainment franchise, the James Bond movie series is the most uneven, bouncing from remarkable highs to absurdly embarrassing lows. For every On Her Majesty's Secret Service, there's a Moonraker, and for every Casino Royale, there's a Quantum of Solace. I wouldn't go as far as to call the 007 series the most inconsistent franchise out there, but it's undeniable that it's not exactly trustworthy. Whereas other franchises let you know what you can expect from them -- every Transformers is awful, every Mission: Impossible is spectacular, the MCU is, well, the MCU -- 007 keeps you on your toes, unsure if you'll get a banger or a turd.
