Well, it's darn close enough so that works for me.

I've just tinkered with the bottom end, moving DAD up from 22 to20 ahead of the Craig films and moving QoS up to 2nd on the Craig list ahead of SF.
I'd move DAD higher, not a lot higher, but I really cannot abide Bond being stuffed away in a North Korean prison for 14 months. Worst idea in the history of all the Bond films, which is why I dropped it below two of the Craig films for a while, if it wanted to wallow in such faux "realism."
I like Bond dangerous, but escapist too.
Good lord @timmer, that's a list I haven't seen before!
That's what I was thinking haha! Very interesting; I respect all opinions though, even if I sorely disagree with the bottom 3. Can't really blame you for putting the oldest ones first - the golden age, after all. For me the golden age was Dr No through OHMSS. But anyways yeah very unique list; I'm guessing your favorite actor was Connery?
Then the classics themselves in my personal favourite order. OHMSS is a brilliant Fleming worthy Bond film, which deserves to be lumped in with the original Connery classics. Its just that the Connery element separates the first 6 films, but OHMSS is right there tucked in behind...and then a significant drop to the onset of the post Connery era.
The first two Rog films follow the golden era. I link these films favourably with the deft Guy Hamilton touch that we saw in DAF.
Then its kind of a grab bag, of Rog, Dalts and Broz, based on personal preference.
As I am not a fan of the darker reboot films, I lump them at the bottom. But I still watch them and enjoy them as alternative type Bond films. The filmcraft is still quite good and there are decent Bond moments in all of them, but something's got to go at the bottom.
(Sorry, I know it's really Chiun's movie.)

It lacks the Eon touch- the zip and excitement, music etc. Not even Sean can save it. Mind you its still quite watchable IMO, as are the re-boot films, but I prefer the full blown Eon treatment that the first 20 films got.

I think someone needs to be sectioned ;)
I can understand not having it at the very top (the poor back-projection, dodgy acting at times) but RIGHT at the bottom below the likes of MWTGG, DAF and DAD :-O
Let's not get into this with him again, I think he's had enough.

(However this list changes often except for the top 4)
I've noticed. I just can't get into that movie. If Moore hadn't had the face lift just prior to it....
You've gotta live Max "the Madman" Zorin, no? Or that belting theme tune? Or that superb climatic duel atop the Golden Gate? So much to love!
I wouldn't call TMWTGG a favorite of mine, but I strongly agree it's very underrated. I much prefer it to the likes of MR, OP, and AVTAK. Christopher Lee was excellent, Moore was great, and I loved the island/fun house scenes.
