  YOLT deserves #10 I'd say. Always an enjoyable watch.

  It appears we share our top 3 @Mathis1.
  As well as FRWL, TB, OP, CR and QOS in our top 10's.
  
  That's the same top 3 and only two differences in the top 10 :)

  That's true, almost all of them can switch positions when I'm overthinking too much. Even now I've edited it to shift TMWTGG slightly upwards at the expense of GE, but OHMSS, TLD and LTK are untouchable.

  I dont share your love of GE am afraid.

  Yeah, very few people enjoy TWINE, sadly.
  
  My list is based more on specific criteria and overall enjoyment. If you were to ask me the 3 best Bond films I would say FRWL/OHMSS/CR, yet none of them are in my top 10. It's the same reason I always say that Brosnan is my favourite but Connery is the best.

  I enjoy TWINE. As an overall film GE is better but I found myself enjoying TWINE slightly more.

  Rather similar to the Bond film ranking tournament thread, where we shall tally up the community totals in the end. With this app, you get to see your personal list. Not that you need an app to do that, of course.
