This mirrors my feelings towards anyone who doesn't like GE.
He was in a crap one years before.
Careful @Benny, if you drop OP any further, you may lose your nickname Octobenny! Excellent top three (and five!)
@Birdleson, if your top six are still
GF, FRWL, OHMSS, DN, CR and Spy
I heartily agree with that!
The granddaddy of all blockbusters? The film that terrified worldwide audiences? Spielberg's first masterpiece? The film that spawned countless imitators?!!!!!
One of the greatest thrillers ever made and will always be in my top ten films.
I don't know, youngsters today, tut tut!
(Probably loves Deep Blue Sea!)
I hope you mean the Bond villain Jaws and not Spielberg's masterpiece,young man ?!?!
It doesn't feel the least bit like a Bond film, though I do like the scene in the desert, where Bond leaves Greene way out in the middle of nowhere.
The first JAWS is a classic. Great cast with Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw. I always felt the shark was given just the right amount of screen time in the first one. Been decades since I've seen any of the sequels, though I've been wanting to revisit the 3rd and 4th films again. When I was little it seemed the 2nd film seemed to air quite often.

A few notes
- LALD ends MR's 3-year reign at the top. Toughest decision for me in the whole ranking.
- LTK has rebounded. Once in the 6-8 range, it fell out of top 10 in past years, and has made a jump back this year.
- SF has also rebounded after being 2-3 at one point, it fell to the back of the top 10. Back on the upswing.
- Other Risers: DAF continues to steadily improve, TB and TMWTGG
- OHMSS and GF are the most noticeable fall offs. Majesty's was 6th last year, while GF was in the 12-14 range.
- Other Fallers: AVTAK has fallen back to the lowest Moore Bond (use to be FYEO), YOLT, GE, Spy, DN all dropped a couple ranks.
- Connery is now the only Bond who's debut doesn't rank as the best of his tenure.

EDIT: @ToTheRight I can get behind your top 10. Nice to see OP/NSNA in there. AVTAK is a surprise though but I guess you're a Glen man.
AVTAK used to be my least favorite, but it's one I tend to watch fairly often and grew to appreciate more.

No Connery in the top 10. I think history has been made lol.
That is a largely outstanding Top 10. Not terribly sure about FYEO making Top 3, but nonetheless largely outstanding.
The man loves his John Glen!

24. DAD
Notes:
- I've switched around TB and GF at the top, along with YOLT and OHMSS, for the time being.
- The big change was LALD. Moved it up a whole tier. As a result I also took SF down a notch, simply because I'm not sure I'd call it "great" as I would the others.
- SP moves down to the "No" tier. Didn't make it through the whole thing last time I tried.
I am there with you. For me the older films have much more rewatchability. CR also dropped enourmously in my ranking and I still can't figure out why I can't enjoy it as much as I used to 12 years ago.
