Ursula Andress Named Sexiest Bond Girl

Our most recent Top Five List here at The Big Picture was a countdown of the best Bond Girl names. That made sense with Quantum of Solace in theaters. There's an art to making a good name, because most of them are tongue-in-cheek sex jokes that also have to avail themselves to witty repartee courtesy of 007.

Christmas Jones is not a good name, in part because it's not sexual until Bond makes a terrible joke at the end The World is Not Enough. It doesn't help that Denise Richards is playing a character with an advanced degree.

And there is plenty of debate about Bond Girls, as there is about so many things in Ian Fleming's spy world: What's the best theme song, who's the best Bond, who's the best villain, and so on. Moviefone conducted a poll to determine who was the sexiest Bond Girl, and I think they got their top ten mostly right.

1 - Ursula Andress (Dr. No)

2 - Halle Berry (Die Another Day)

3 - Kim Basinger (Never Say Never Again)

4 - Barbara Bach (The Spy Who Loved Me)

5 - Denise Richards (The World is Not Enough)

6 - Eva Green (Casino Royale)

7 - Isabella Scorupco (GoldenEye)

8 - Jane Seymour (Live and Let Die)

9 - Britt Ekland (The Man with the Golden Gun)

10 - Jill St. John (Diamonds are Forever)

I'm surprised to see Isabella Scorupco ranked higher than Famke Janssen, who came in 11th, and I also think Jane Seymour should be a little higher. Can't knock the top two, however. And I guess it should be noted that the next time they do this list, probably in two more years, the top ten will probably include Olga Kurylenko.

I completely agree that Famke Janssen should be on this list, but they also left out Barbara Carrera, the best-looking female Villainess!!
No one needs Denise Richards except her children and Britt Ekland should be removed.
