What?!
Good point, @Mathis1. I may have to rethink that one. The '67 CR is a beautiful looking film, colorful, vibrant, and crisp. We have the wonderful Ursula Andress as Vesper, and Orson Welles as Le Chiffre. There's some funny moments, and I do love David Niven, though his Bond is really a reinvention of the character.
I've always loved TLD. Soft spot for the 80's Bonds I grew up with.

Rankings do really change with each rewatch, it's interchangeable as we frequently watch them again and again, that's fine.
The only thing that changes in my rankings were the Craig Era films, they've dropped big in my rankings, I didn't find them rewatchable, but the rest still intact, if not maybe, moved down one or two, but never had any vast changes.
Often a day or so after I've watched a Bond, that may determine how much I enjoyed it......or if it holds up.
Haha. Fixed now.

Perfect top 3! I also have those 3 in my top 5.
Agree about SPECTRE, love that whole train sequence, and the trip in the Rolls Royce that follows!
Note: And this is coming from someone who didn't enjoyed (or find rewatchable) the Craig Era Films.
Right!? It’s one of the most cinematic sequences in the series. Sumptuous through and through. The maligned yellow/brown sepia filters actually do the locations justice here.
True, it's the most Fleming-esque of the Craig Era films, some scenes there felt like it came from a Fleming novel.
The conversations on the train between Bond and Madeleine are very Fleming, and I love them. Nice to see the train scenes getting attention even apart from the Hinx fight.

The Divine Nine (My very favorite nine Bond films, which all have held Top 9 spots for a very long time now, hard to see changing!)
1. Casino Royale
2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
3. Thunderball
4. From Russia with Love
5. Skyfall
6. Dr. No
7. Goldfinger
8. GoldenEye
9. The Spy Who Loved Me
The Best of the Rest (Great Bond movies that have just a few things here and there that hold them back from elite status, but they're all filled with awesome stuff.)
10. Live and Let Die
11. Licence to Kill
12. For Your Eyes Only
13. Quantum of Solace
14. No Time to Die
The Stack in the Middle of the Pack (Good Bond movies that have their flaws but still make for solid choices to come back to now and again outside of marathons.)
15. You Only Live Twice
16. The Living Daylights
17. The Man with the Golden Gun
18. Tomorrow Never Dies
19. A View to a Kill
20. Octopussy
21. Moonraker
The Poor Bottom Four (Bond movies that I don't hate, but are substantially lower in my enjoyment level than all the rest.)
22. The World Is Not Enough
23. Spectre
24. Diamonds Are Forever
25. Die Another Day
That's an awesome tier system. I find myself using a similar one since I don't truly hate any Bond film, but I do have about 3-4 that are lower in enjoyment level in which I don't revisit that often

Not a fan of his latest entries, haven't seen them nor do I really care. They're trying too hard to be "artsy" and involve MI6 and M too much for my taste. Enough with the "tragic cynical Bond" and "this time it's personal.." tropes.
