Did you always place QOS so low?
Ironic you have it below TWINE, one of the slowest paced Bonds to QOS, which moves like a bullet!
I’m just as surprised to see DAD, DAF, SP and QOS above LTK, OHMSS and even TLD 😯 Still, decent list nonetheless
I will be dividing the films into subdivisions according to my enjoyment of them. This way I won't be forced to make too many painful decisions.
Films ranked chronologically within their subdivisions.

Like other international audiences, Russians think highly of the Connery era and Craig's two knockout films, Casino Royale and Skyfall. Then the Brosnan era sticks out as more highly ranked than usual, as that's when Bond was first introduced to Russian audiences. Less love for the Moore films, the Dalton ones, and OHMSS. Spectre is ranked last, but it's score is comparable to that on IMDB.

The Bond series doesn't have a great track record for realistic Russian characters, but some Russians including myself get a kick at how absurd some of these depictions can get in American/British films. With Bond, that absurdity is part of the charm.
"And then we cut to Moscow, and there's a man there, he's Russian, you know, he's got eyebrows..."

You've got SP too high and CR too low 😁
Been showing some love for SP, and a little burned out on CR, amazingly.
That is amazing. The more I watch CR the better it gets. In fact it's a masterpiece 👍
SP just gets worse with every (rare) viewing..

A little blindsided by #6! It is not often that you see DAF immediately after FRWL and CR.
By every metric, DAF is horrible. But it is so horrible that I love it--it is a Bond film on acid. Same with LTK and TMWTGG. But MR doesn't hold the same for me. It is missing some sort of charm.
Pretty solid top five, though I would replace GF with OHMSS and SF with DN. Regardless, I love all of those films.

I was thinking about TND and decided it needed to move up several positions; I should watch it again soon. I made a few other minor changes. I know SF's better than SP but I enjoy SP more these days; they could switch in the future.

Biggest changes for me would be that CR has completed its long journey to the bottom spot (though I don't hate my lowest-ranked movie the way many hate theirs). The later Brosnan movies have jumped quite a bit, particularly TWINE, my previous number 24.
And my viewing of DAF was so wonderful yesterday that it's cracked the top ten and replaced Dr No as my favorite Connery film.
That said, I'm embarrassed in a sense by my bottom four. I don't like being a "here's a hot take" guy!
