    I know I may get a lot of flak for this but here's my take:
    SF
    QoS
    CR
    SP
    NTTD

    I don’t think anyone would give anyone flack about their list. I wouldn’t worry.

    1) SF
    2) CR
    3) NTTD
    4) SP
    5) QOS

    At risk of breaking the no discussion rule, Craig's tenure is a strange era of Bond. I think it'll be looked back on as an era of experimentation for the series that got much right, and other things wrong. It seems to have proved, however, that Bond films can exist in the modern era. I suspect SF and CR especially will have a lot of influence on the future of the series. Even SP and NTTD have their highlights, as much as I have issues with those films...

    QOS... well, that's just an unfortunate one really... writer's strikes, a bad choice of director... it didn't stand a chance. That said even that film has its moments I like.

    A tier list would be more appropriate than a ranking because there's a considerable gap between the Craig films for me.

    S Tier: CR, SF
    A Tier:
    B Tier: NTTD, QOS
    C Tier:
    D Tier: SP

    Even though the order of the list hasn't changed, NTTD has moved closer to QOS than to Skyfall.

    This is pretty much my opinion of the era summed up well, except since the beginning I’ve had NTTD and QOS neck and neck.

    Having finally seen NTTD, here's my current ranking:

    CR
    QoS
    ____

    NTTD
    SF
    SP

    CR and QoS are really close for me, as are the others, but all the way down at the bottom of the list of Bond films.

    After all these months and ten viewings of NTTD, the only way I see this ranking changing is the VERY slight possibility that #1 and #2 have a bit of sparring in the years to come.

    5: SPECTRE
    4: Quantum of Solace
    3: Skyfall
    2: Casino Royale
    1: No Time to Die

    5. No Time To Die

    Possibly. Someone who is bored enough could go through the whole thread and check?

    Only 120 ways to work it out. It's entirely possible. I know at the very least that all five films have been at both the very top and very bottom on at least one list.

    I did check that all five represent each spot at least once.

    I think this is where my list will definitively sit forever. I can't imagine it changing in any way, shape or form, but I've been wrong before:

    1. QoS
    2. CR
    3. NTTD
    4. SF
    5. SP

    I wonder if anyone has this particular ranking:
    Spectre
    Quantum of Solace
    No Time To Die
    Skyfall
    Casino Royale

    Let’s get a tally of how many times each film ranks at every spot… if anyone has the time. I know there are multiples and changes over time though.

    Sometimes I do. QOS and NTTD swap places a lot, but SP, SF, and CR are firmly in those positions.

    I might as well adjust what I posted previously, this is how the DC era stands for me at the moment:

    1 CR
    2 QOS
    3 SP
    4 NTTD
    5 SF

    Not only the same order, but I am completely in sync with your spacing as well!

    Sorry for quoting an old comment, but as of now this is exactly where I stand too! I think this will hold for quite some time.

    Ok did a rough count, here are the GOLD medals:

    CR: 119
    QOS: 4
    SF: 27
    SP: 3
    NTTD: 20

    I’m including all the lists, even duplicates with minor changes, bc I don’t have enough time. Will post the SILVER medals soon.

    Who else has QoS as #1 alongside myself? I went through and saw @Thunderfinger and @M_Balje had listed it, didn't go back far enough to see the fourth.

    Wow, I knew CR was the most beloved, but I wasn't expecting a blowout of that proportion.

    Yes, I was surprised how many first place finishes I caught when scanning through the pages earlier. It's really something special.

    Am not surprised at all! CR really is top notch! I adore QOS, but CR restored my faith in the series!
