No changes since mid-last year, aside from SF falling a few places. Spectre has remained at the same position - I think mostly because there haven't been too many new rankings, aside from a few members updating their lists twice a month :-P
Favourites
1. The Living Daylights (desptite strong competition, still holds on)
2. Goldeneye (back in the top 3 after falling to 6. Just love it, despite the score)
3. From Russia With Love (a masterpiece, always new directorial touches to discover on each viewing. So those who say "frwl has no faults but other bond films have more" - look at Young's attention to detail)
4. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
5. Casino Royale
6. Dr No
7. Octopussy (for the first time in a while, no more 6 Bonds in the top 6, due to Dr No)
Great to watch
8. Live and Let Die (appreciate this one a little more)
9. Goldfinger (as per LALD)
10. For Your Eyes Only (I enjoy this despite it being plain)
11. Tomorrow Never Dies (Love Brosnan's performance here)
12. Moonraker (never liked Gilbert's films but this is the most fun of the trio)
13. The Spy Who Loved Me
14. Diamonds Are Forever
15. Licence to Kill
Enjoyable but can be hard to sit through
16. A View To A Kill
17. The Man With The Golden Gun
Have their moments but don't add up as a whole
18. Skyfall
19. Die Another Day
20. You Only Live Twice (not good enough for me to overlook it's inconsistencies, unlike Octopussy)
Hard to sit through
21. Spectre
22. Thunderball (as usual, unfortunatel placement but I can't stand the pacing. It would otherwise easily be top 10)
23. Quantum of Solace
24. The World is Enough (Drab)
As time goes on (ie as I get older), the top 2 tiers has expanded to a whopping 15 films. However the gap between the top 3 and bottom 2 tiers has widened.
@FoxRox have finally finished my latest ranking, if it still matters lol
Wow. This is crazy. Connery seems to get grade inflation. And Dalton... sadface.

25) Never Say "Weight Watchers" Again
I like Pierce Brosnan as Bond; his movies are only low due to bad executive decisions.
Sounds delicious.
An opinion piece about why SF is one of the series’ best. I mostly agree, of course; it has never left my Top 5 since it came out.
Therefore, I rate TWINE higher than most.
As for TLD, it has always been a favourite but I guess it has grown on me immensely. Cold War espionage is something essential to my Bond and TLD delivers that in spades. If anyone would ask me what my favourite film is, at the moment I’d probably say TLD.
Good for you. TLD never leaves my top 5 and it's only beaten to the top spot by OHMSS!
It's a pretty good ranking. Biggest gripes are the low rankings of TB, SF, and QOS, but other than that not bad. A few noticeable differences from my list but that's what makes this fun!
Definitely my two favourites as well.

2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service

4. The Spy Who Loved Me
5. Skyfall
6. Dr. No
7. GoldenEye

9. Thunderball
10. Licence to Kill
11. For Your Eyes Only
12. Live and Let Die
13. Quantum of Solace
14. You Only Live Twice
15. The Living Daylights
16. Tomorrow Never Dies
17. Octopussy
18. A View to a Kill
19. The World Is Not Enough
20. Spectre
21. The Man with the Golden Gun
22. Diamonds Are Forever
23. Moonraker
24. Die Another Day
@GoldenGun I get your points about TLD, that is why I have it at number 1 as well. I can see why some people don't like it, but I am quite fond of the Glen era despite the tone inconsistencies and bland cinematography but the action, amongst other things, makes up for it.
As for TWINE, I used to enjoy it as I grew up with Brosnan as Bond, and I can enjoy his performance in his 3 other films, but I find TWINE quite poor all round, aside from the opening.
@FoxRox
TB is unfortunate because it's the funniest script in the series ("...she's just dead") and has many highlights, but the pacing kills it - if they trimmed half an hour it (fan edit perhaps?) it would be very high. The other two are pretty boring to be honest - I do appreciate the themes of Skyfall though, quite clever.
Great list, except for the above. Objectively I can understand but I've always loved these two
I wouldn't go that far,there is a limit ;)
Rather good Top 6, my good man.
Similarly, I ranked License to Kill above The Living Daylights - not because turning Bond into a crime drama with druglords was a better idea, but because it exuded Dalton's strengths better.
I'm entirely in agreement with W2Bond that if Thunderball had 20-30 minutes of underwater footage cut, it would be a top 10 candidate for me.
Quite. But @FoxRox has got GF in his top three, so you must be pretty chuffed.
That is a good point. IMO Skyfall and Spectre had the opposite problem. Execution was brilliant but they were lacking good concepts and ideas (apart from the old and new thing in Skyfall)
I'm 9 in agreement on the top ten. Difference being LALD -- it fluctuates from about #12 to maybe #15 or so. Looking forward to revisiting it when I start my Bondathon in a few weeks. Definitely one I've neglected in the past.
