One day, I venture, you too will see the (day)light, my friend B-)
I have no doubt I will. TLD will always have a special place in my heart - it was the first Bond movie I saw at the cinema.

Well, if I were to hazard a guess, you think I'm being too harsh on Live and Let Die and You Only Live Twice, possibly QoS as well. For the ones I'm being too kind towards - Octopussy & and The Living Daylights? I suppose I just enjoy all of John Glen's Bonds, while Guy Hamilton is just not for me (his last three in particular - entertaining, but not very good thanks to their plethora of flaws). For Roger Moore's worst I usually bounce between Golden Gun and Moonraker, depending on what I'm rating it on and my current mood.

SP and TND are undoubtedly flawed, but they succeed in evoking some classic Bond themes and are both decent films anyway. I think it's fair to rank them in the upper portion of the 3rd tier. I'll admit that the biggest gap between my tiers is between the 2nd and 3rd, so I definitely have Licence to Kill a good way higher than Spectre.
Yeah, I rank OHMSS very low and I'm one of the only ones. I acknowledge its qualities as a film, I just really don't like ole Lazenby in the role.
@Birdleson You and I agree on a lot of things, but I'm still holding onto hope that someday you'll come to love OP. MR I'm not holding my breath on, but I've still got some hope for the former.

Casino Royale has fallen quite some ways over the years for me (if it were five tiers, it'd be down in five with TSWLM), while the later Pierce films have clawed up a bit.

4th tier: Lazenby. (Look, he was just a really bad actor in a great movie. Which does bring the movie down in the end.)
Knives out then? I can duck. ;)
