It reminds me in some ways of OHMSS. The movie was not well-received during it's release and (many) years to come but today has a lot of fans. Like QoS it still has it's flaws (to me: Lazenby) - yet I like it alot today. Look at Hitchcock's Vertigo - same thing here.
Anyway - I wouldn't wonder about seeing QoS higher ranked than expected. But the results will tell if I'm right or wrong :-)
Was a fan of the group Garbage too, though the song is nowhere near their best! Cool title sequence too from Kleinman that accompanies it!
Still, dont think TWINE should have finished ahead of MR, which is far more fun!
Other favourites of mine are less controversial, I expect DN, FRWL, GF, OHMSS, TSWLM, TLD, LTK, GE and CR to be in the upper half. If not, that would be disappointing.
Fun poll so far!
TWINE at 17 rather than 26??
A shocking and distressing turn of events.
TND is my favourite Brosnan...
You will see later in an overview that.....the higher the position, the more people vote for it. So the more people have it in their TOP 10.

If give twine 10 points and Lald 4 points it have turn in to draw and Lald stil be above because of more votes.
I like the other 6 movies more, but are not inspecialy much better and FRWL is not even worse. The movie missing Q a litle bit, but have enough original things (Black cast, story, VS, No John Barry, good title song and no Blofeld.) and best Felix.
I guess many of us have LALD in their top15, however, only few have it in their top5. This will lead to a Situation where LALD mostly gets Zero or only few points. That LALD unlike TWINE, SP or QoS is hardly in anyone's bottom 5 does not help it. Ob the contrary, more controvertial films like TWINE or QoS benefit from the voting method. I don't mind that at all. It just may explain some surprising results.
+1
I find that a bit flawed reasoning. For the very simple reason that the particular voting system in this thread can still not make up with the effect that higher ranked films still receive from more people points than LALD. LALD got points from 39 people out of 120 possible voters, as compared to an ever decreasing number of people who placed other films lower, for example TND got only points from 16 people out of 120 possible people. The same goes the other way around for the upcoming Bond films who are ranked higher.
For example, this topic's voting system goes like this:
12 POINTS --> 01st place
10 POINTS --> 02nd place
08 POINTS --> 03rd place
07 POINTS --> 04th place
06 POINTS --> 05th place
05 POINTS --> 06th place
04 POINTS --> 07th place
03 POINTS --> 08th place
02 POINTS --> 09th place
01 POINTS --> 10th place
00 POINTS --> 11th place
00 POINTS --> 12th place
00 POINTS --> 13th place
00 POINTS --> 14th place
00 POINTS --> 15th place
00 POINTS --> 16th place
00 POINTS --> 17th place
00 POINTS --> 18th place
00 POINTS --> 19th place
00 POINTS --> 20th place
00 POINTS --> 21st place
00 POINTS --> 22nd place
00 POINTS --> 23rd place
00 POINTS --> 24th place
00 POINTS --> 25th place
00 POINTS --> 26th place
In other topics it's perhaps like this:
25 POINTS --> 01st place
24 POINTS --> 02nd place
23 POINTS --> 03rd place
22 POINTS --> 04th place
21 POINTS --> 05th place
20 POINTS --> 06th place
19 POINTS --> 07th place
18 POINTS --> 08th place
17 POINTS --> 09th place
16 POINTS --> 10th place
15 POINTS --> 11th place
14 POINTS --> 12th place
13 POINTS --> 13th place
12 POINTS --> 14th place
11 POINTS --> 15th place
10 POINTS --> 16th place
09 POINTS --> 17th place
08 POINTS --> 18th place
07 POINTS --> 19th place
06 POINTS --> 20th place
05 POINTS --> 21st place
05 POINTS --> 22nd place
04 POINTS --> 23rd place
03 POINTS --> 24th place
02 POINTS --> 25th place
01 POINTS --> 26th place
But in the latter voting method LALD would do necessarily better, since it would still get only from 39 people TOP 10 marks. And even if it gets from -let's say- 15 more people marks between 11th and 18th place, on average the next Bond films that are ranked higher, are getting from more people TOP 10 marks.
Actually, I have applied both two systems with the Eurovision results from 2014 (when Netherlands came 2nd). And really, only three countries switched positions in the TOP 26 (there are usually 26 finalists). And only one place difference for two songs and 2 place difference for one song. And that was only in the mid table section (13th place until 18th place).
So no matter how many people voted LALD much higher than the Bottom 5, it still doesn't make up for 120 MINUS 39 = 81 voters who didn't put the film in the TOP 10 :-). You'll see that this number -on average- will decrease.
