Thanks. SP still remains my least watched Bond film.
I'll try a similar ranking how I would have done as a kid. After my Dad bought our first VHS player we rented the Bonds every weekend for months.
This is my 5th grade era ranking after I had finally seen all the films (up until then):

2. DR NO
3. FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
4. NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN
5. DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER
6. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
7. LIVE AND LET DIE
8. OCTOPUSSY
9. THUNDERBALL
10. A VIEW TO A KILL
11. THE SPY WHO LOVED ME
12. MOONRAKER
13. YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE
14. ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE
15. THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN
16. CASINO ROYALE 67

1.OHMSS (+12)

I think that was my Bond rankings post my visit to see DAD in the cinema.
Note the symmetry of the top eight. And I had no problem with the outlandishness of the invisible car, but hollowing out a dormant volcano... Ah, the blindness of youth!

We share six in the top ten and two in the bottom five. One in your top ten is in my bottom five, and one in your bottom five is also in my top ten.
It is the way it should be. Diversity makes a forum.

It makes it interesting. I don't hate any 007 film. My rankings are more based on personal preferences. Which are the ones that I find myself watching more than others. I don't think ive watched FYEO or LTK more than 6-7 times total in my life. Not saying they're bad, but just not my cup of tea.
Connery: Claudine Auger, Thunderball
Lazenby: Diana Rigg, On Her Majesty's Secret Service of course
Moore: Carole Bouquet, For Your Eyes Only
Dalton: Talisa Soto, License to Kill
Brosnan: Cecilie Thomsen, Tomorrow Never Dies
Craig: Gemma Arterton, Quantum of Solace

13 to 15 (all Glen) are incredibly close for me, and can switch easily.
CR is definitely one of the best Bond films, but I think the reason I prefer SF is because I can still readily accept it as a standalone and it's very layered thematically.
