James Bond has been fighting terrorists, enemy agents and master criminals for half a century, and all that work appears to have paid off - as the series of films that depict the debonair secret agent have been named as film fans' favourite of all time.
Bond was also up against some of his most illustrious opponents - 007 beat 'Star Wars' into second place, with the 'Lord of The Rings' trilogy coming in third.
The poll was orchestrated to celebrate the release of Prometheus, the summer sci-fi blockbuster that is rebooting the Alien film franchise. It was conducted by the film subscription service LOVEFiLM, and polled almost 3000 film lovers to reach its conclusion.
The blockbuster hit of the summer 'Marvel's Avengers' - which consists of the Ironman, Thor, Captain America and Hulk movies, came a lowly ninth, whilst 'Harry Potter' and 'The Godfather' films made up the top 5.
Bond will have the chance to add to his legend this autumn when the latest film in the Bond franchise, starring Daniel Craig opens in cinemas.

Daniel Craig has had nothing but grief from hard core Bond fans since taking on the role. However, his co-star Caterina Murino said of him recently "He's very hot and when he kissed me it was incredibly sexy. It was fantastic!" Lucky her...hopefully Craig can silence his critics with his performance in 'Casino Royale'.
