Good list Leonardpine, though I would prefer LTK higher and TND/SF lower.
Surprisingly low for LALD too!
Thanks @Mathis1 LTK has gone up in my estimation last time i watched it and who knows, it could rise even further in the near future!
After 15 it gets tougher to rank the films and to be fair a lot of those in the bottom 10 are pretty interchangeable depending on my mood when i watch them.
SP is tricky. I like it a lot but there is a lot not right with it and it was puzzling where to put it.
I love all the Bond films to varying degrees though.

Good Top 4. Wish GE, FYEO, and DN could have made it a bit higher, but I like most of this list.
#5-20 fluctuate all the time for me.

We share seven in the top ten, and three in the bottom five.
Some of the later films I have a hard time NOT putting in the bottom five. I've been feeling more generous towards SP lately.
That is one in my top ten that we don t share.
SP is gradually making it's way up for me.

So nice to have the occasional break from unhinged, hyperbolic Spectre rage. It squeaks into my top ten as well.

I think I would largely agree with that statement. Unsurprisingly TLD also tops my rankings.
Anyways, we disagree on a few things here and there, but yours is just about the list I would show to an "outsider" if they had watched all of the films and asked what the Bond community's general consensus was.
Interesting. I’d say the biggest differences in most lists I see here from my own are SF and AVTAK a bit lower and TLD higher. But certainly my general picks for the Top 10 and the bottom few aren’t anything surprising.

I actually love DAF. There's just a few movies I enjoy more. I think YOLT and TMWTGG have very good first and third acts. However, the middle of both of those films really drag them down.
It has been moving forwards lately, maybe next time it will crack the top 15 ;)

I do love them, and Pierce was great, IMO. Sadly, I'm finding I'm rarely in the mood for that era these days. TWINE, in particular I have a hard time getting through in one sitting.
