Keep in mind that I actually like ALL the films in one capacity or the other. Also, after the top 10, the listing can be very fuzzy.
PS. I find Goldfinger to be overrated, but it sure does live up to the legend.
We share almost identical rankings from top to bottom.
@timmer, look at this!

Quite a number of changes there but I’ve been ranking (on enjoyment only) during my watching of them all. Only a handful (if that) have remained in position, while DAD moves up one from the bottom thanks to the soap opera goings on of TWINE.
Some respectable jumps for SF, TLD and FYEO!
I've always loved it, can't imagine how high it may sit in my rankings if it had a Barry score and a couple scenes were altered/omitted.
A Barry score would automatically have it in my top 10, but thanks to Bill Conti, it sits at 23.
My thoughts exactly! It's bad, but I don't think a score could be so bad that it would drop it over a dozen rankings.
Same. Unashamedly funky.
Edit: Especially during the action scenes with the nod and the wave to the bobsledding team with the disco music in the background (one of my favorite parts of the movie). A moment like that can't really be made so easily with Barry's style.
Edit: She was, and it is a simply terrible dubbing job. It spoils parts of her performance for me.
Good idea. I think I'll do a new list just based on re-watchability....the ones I'm more often in the mood for:
1. GOLDFINGER
2. DR.NO
3. THE SPY WHO LOVED ME
4. THUNDERBALL
5. FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
6. LICENCE TO KILL
7. THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS.......in 1988 I watched it every other week until LTK opened.
8. OCTOPUSSY................possibly my MOST watched film
9. A VIEW TO A KILL
10. ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE
11. LIVE AND LET DIE
12. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY................ sh!t I haven't even gotten to the Craigs or Brozzers yet!
13. DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER
14. MOONRAKER
15. YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE
16. GOLDENEYE .........finally!!! Go Pierce!
17. SPECTRE..........wow, really? This is my least watched Bond.
18. TOMORROW NEVER DIES
19. SKYFALL
20. CASINO ROYALE............excellent, but not as fun as it was in '06.
21. THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN
22. DIE ANOTHER DAY
23. QUANTUM OF SOLACE
24. THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH.........not that I think it's weak, I'm just rarely in the mood for it.
NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN would probably be after YOLT.
=D>
The good stuff includes its more down-to-earth spy story, the scenes with Cassandra Harris and Topol. I also like the raid on the warehouse. Roger Moore's performance is quite good too.
His attire is not. They managed to put together some of the least flattering collection of clothes imaginable. Bibi of course is downright irritating and Kristatos is Julian Glover wasted.
The film can feel a bit lifeless and short on energy. Much in the same way as AVTAK. But in 85 they had an unforgettable couple of villains, a thrilling Barry score and the best piece of action saved for the end.
As for Conti's score, there exists disco done well and disco done bad. TSWLM is an example of the former and FYEO an example of the latter.
In the end I always think of FYEO as an admirable attempt but a very flawed at that.
