Jep and i am happy, that this chapter closes now.
Maybe 007 will become again classy, elegant, intelligent, humorous, communicative, more spy (and less killer), tall etc. More Connery-Dalton-Moore territory again:
You've a bit more of a wait am afraid, before this chapter closes!
I do agree with this on a certain level. Even though I enjoy some of the post 1990 Bond films, I still find the 62-89 period to be the more elegant one. Wish they'd go back to that.
But Bond has always been a child of its time, and I'm afraid we're not very much living in an era in which elegance and subtlety are perceived as important assets to a man's world. Regretfully so, but also very true. I'm not expecting them to return to a more elegant gentleman spy anytime soon. Unfortunately.
I have to confess I’m not the biggest Craig fan either. I find the overall quality of his era completely inconsistent. Love Casino Royale, but the rest of his films are hit and miss with me. Quantum of Solace is messy, Skyfall is overrated imo, and Spectre is just trash. Not impressed by anything I’ve seen from No Time To Die either.
You don’t even like the SP pre-title sequence?

Dr. No (1962)
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Goldfinger (1964)
Quantum of Solace (2008)
Bronze
Flawed Bond films that I nevertheless really like.
A View to a Kill (1985)
Never Say Never Again (1983)
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
Mission accomplished
Some essential things are missing here for me, though these films still manage to entertain overall.
Live and Let Die (1973)
Skyfall (2012)
For Your Eyes Only (1981)
Casino Royale (1967)
Mission failed
My least favourite Bond films. But even though they commit some huge atrocities, there are some saving graces too.
Spectre (2015)
Die Another Day (2002)
Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
That’s a solid top ten.

I feel like as a Bond superfan we are all basically like suckers for these movies. Which is why I have literally the top 17 in "tier 1" because I genuinely love every single one of those movies to varying degrees. Whatever. I'm not a very critical watcher when it comes to Bond.

You forgot to include Live and Let Die. As for OHMSS, if you love the film despite Lazenby, put in the middle or higher. If he drags it way down for you, put it lower. As for myself, I love Lazenby and rank OHMSS fourth. I don’t believe in “head canon” otherwise films like DAD, TMWTGG and AVTAK I wouldn’t rank at all. They’re canon. They just suck.
I'll repost an entire ranking after I've gone through the series properly. I've been swamped with graduate school as of late.
Neither did I really. And I'm someone who likes Craig as Bond. I even like him in QOS, though it's one of my least popular films. Aside from CR, I find the Craig films either far too long, or the stories to be weakly structured and full of plot holes. Or a combination of both.
However, if you put any of those 24 films on, I'll gladly sit down and watch them.

You clearly like the films of Craig, Brosnan and Connery. Which is good.
And not everyone likes Roger Moore. But Octopussy is far too low. Just saying. ;)
A thoroughly splendid Top Ten there @Benny. Though my heart weeps for TWINE.
Thank you @royale65 sorry to say TWINE is unlikely to go up my ranking anytime soon.
However after recent viewing's of QOS and even GE, both could progress higher than they currently stand.
One of the joys for me of being a Bond fan for many, many years is seeing how films rise and fall over time. I find myself swaying toward the older films for the most part.
But if truth be known, I actually love all the films, in one way or another. ;)
Well its good to see QOS so high as it divides so many fans.
But I dont share your dislike of Roger, or your love of Brossa! Quite a diverse list!
