Then LTK would certainly be at the bottom...
It is not correct but you are on the right track.
That is it. Congratulation! The time until Bond speaks starting from the beginning of the gun barrel which does not exist in the first three Craig films why these are probably a little bit higher on the list. The last four films do not have Bond speak before the title sequence. In FRWL it takes more than 17 minutes before Bond speaks the first time whereas it only takes 32 seconds in DAF. I can give you the precise numbers in the evening...
So @Some_Kind_Of_Hero
if you want you may give us a new objective ranking.

My thinking too. A big hint is how Brosnan is classed as the most lethal Bond, statistically, hence his films being high rankers on the list.
Ranked from greatest to least:
1. Spectre
2. Skyfall
3. Quantum of Solace
4. Die Another Day (TIE)
4. Casino Royale (TIE)
6. The World Is Not Enough
7. Tomorrow Never Dies
8. GoldenEye
9. Octopussy
10. Licence to Kill
11. The Living Daylights
12. A View to a Kill
13. For Your Eyes Only
14. Moonraker
15. You Only Live Twice
16. The Spy Who Loved Me
17. Diamonds Are Forever (TIE)
17. Live and Let Die (TIE)
19. The Man with the Golden Gun
20. Goldfinger
21. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
22. From Russia With Love
23. Thunderball
24. Dr. No
Time spent with Mi6 crew?
And we have a winner! I figured the ranking would turn out more or less chronological, but was interested to see where things would deviate and where the major changes in length would be. Over to you for the next round, @Birdleson.
Here are the timings for the end credits, by the way. I clocked them according to when the first credit is seen and when the last credit (usually the final appearance of the film and company names) fades out, as opposed to, say, how long the music runs for. I did not include gunbarrels if those appeared at the end of the film, however I did start from "James Bond Will Return" if that was the first thing to show up, as with TWINE and Skyfall, and Cubby's "In Memory" credit for Tomorrow Never Dies.
