Its quite telling that the 60's is still regarded as the peak period, and the 90's Brosnan era as the low period.

I was a bit torn on TND, because it's a pretty good Bond film. For me, DAD, TWINE, FYEO, and MR are definitely bottom four material. The fifth is up for grabs. OP and TMWTGG,
I have changed my bottom five since then, FYEO has moved up, and I have gained some respect for it.
My new bottom five:
DAD
MR
OP
TND
TWINE
You need to rewatch OP. One of the best in the series without a doubt.
I'd also say there are worse Brosnan entries than TND.

That's an interesting bottom 5, friend. I have never seen OP or YOLT in anyone's bottom 5 before.

and...I had TMWTGG as Nr. 20 the last years. But it entertained me recently much more than TWINE. TWINE it is.

TSWLM is clearly superior to MR. Having said that, there's a lot to like about MR. Personally I see it as bottom half of the mid table.
I think the difference is that The Man With The Golden Gun attempted to be something it isn't, whereas Moonraker is shamelessly camp and knows it.
One main problem is that I hate space action.
Unusual to see TLD in the bottom 5...
Not a fan of John Glen I presume.

Well that's something you don't see very often....Spectre at the top of a list and From Russia With Love at the bottom... :-O
Well I just never liked that movie that much: ridiculous part with Necros, bad villain (Whitaker) and exhausting last part in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile I consider LTK to be one of the best Bond films and revolutionary in many ways.
Oh, FRWL isn't the bottom. Maybe unintuitively, I went worst to least worst there. So FRWL is the best of that second list.
But like most Bond fans, I'd like to have about 12 films in my top 5, and only one or two in the bottom 5, if that makes sense!

I don’t really like to pick a “bottom” listing of the Bond movies. As I’ve posted before, each of them has merit on some level and I can enjoy each of them – depending on my mood. For example, I enjoy CR’67 for its’ great Burt Bacharach score. And, the lovely Joanna Pettet always sends my heart racing.
In fact, only DAD had me leaving the theater truly disappointed – and some of that displeasure was due to factors external to the movie itself. I was working in the World Financial Center in NYC (across from the old Twin Towers when I saw the movie in early 2003. And the tone on the movie – in part – just struck me as “wrong” (IMO) considering the post 9/11 environment that I saw every day at work. Had DAD been released in 2000, for example, I may have felt somewhat less emotional about it.

Interesting. A lot of people would consider your top 5 as amongst the worst. Nice to see some unusual choices though.
Can't argue too much with your bottom 3. Solid.
