Your top 4 is the same as mine. albeit in a slightly different order. I think the first three Bond films produced are pretty untouchable
Agreed! Casino too. I actually just revised my list... on a recent rewatch of Skyfall I decided to bump it way down, and lift up Quantum a few spots - Easily one of my favorites... underdog status and shaky cam and all. It’s fantastic.
Hopefully it will rank higher than that when it drops for you. I’d settle for Top 17 gladly.
I know,i know @Mathis1 , I tried ......but for now Kara and her giant adams apple are bottom.

Great top 3. But the lack of love for Dalton pains me! (And SP at 6, is the this the highest ranking of it?)
LTK is at 15, which is pretty good. And I still love parts of TLD even if the film as a whole dropped for me this time.
I'm trying to redo my list, and I think it's my number two now.
I see what you did there

Tim's my favorite Bond, so I think I always want TLD in the top five, but I'm pretty sure I like my new top six more. I've been increasingly apathetic about CR, but it never felt right to have it far out of the top ten. And hell, not having any Connery in the top ten is pretty sacrilegious. And Spectre...what can I say, I just love it more and more. Don't know what's wrong with me!
Some changes are due to rewatches as well. Diamonds are Forever was good fun last time.
Still though, kudos on the Dalton appreciation! He’s my favourite as well.
A View to a Kill is my top "film I like but isn't the one I want to watch". It sits quite low in my rankings for various reasons but I am fond of it. Whereas I often don't have that sentiment with other films in the lower half. I'm sure I'm not alone here but FRWL is my top quality film but won't sit at number one in my rankings - it's like a fine wine whereas Octopussy is my "top wine under $20"
I'm going to try that style of ranking and give individual spots to the non Eon entries. Let's see what happens here.................

26. SPECTRE

Just for the record, I wasn't trying a different "style of ranking" . That's my ranking. I just made a major effort to ignore what I want my list to look like.
(Sorry, TLD, I still love you!)
I attempted to list the films that I can watch on any given day and still get the enjoyment I had that first time viewing it. I worked my way down from there. Sadly some of the great ones like the Craig CR ended up a lot lower than normal. I have to be in the mood for it.
I'll reorganize it if necessary when we are done. And I have to admit that some of these rank higher than I remember because of their comic or sentimental value. And this is the "what I like" list not what films I think are better. Eg. Skyfall may be better than some above it, but I wasn't a fan. I'll be looking at it with fresh eyes this summer.

I tried watching it again the other day.
Hate to say it, as soon as the screen goes black during the gunbarrel and we get that "Dead are Alive" caption, I wish I were watching a different Bond film.
DAD is very slowly inching it's way up from the bottom of the ladder.
The thing is, with DAD there's aspects to like, cringe at, dislike, hate. Spectre is disappointing, and aside from that I don't feel anything except checking the time to see when it will be over (doesn't help it's a long film)
Ironically, my previous bottom dweller DAD was the film to rise the most, to a mid-teens position.
Sorry to hear that. I shouldn't like FYEO as much as I do but it's just inside the top 10 for me
