    I think it's just the first 22 films in a floating timeline, then after CR it's a new timeline.

    @00Beast I like your timeline and the fact that it seems to go with the chronology of the storyline, not the movie release dates. I guess my question would be, where do you all think SF fits into it?

    There are a lot of comments in the film about Bond's age and ability, so does that make it fall somewhere toward NSNA? I noticed that someone put it at #4 after DN which didn't make a lot of sense to me.

    Thank you very much! Considering the fact that Judi Dench's M
    dies in SkyFall
    , I would not want to ruin the consistency, so I'd probably put it after Die Another Day on my list!

    I don't think there is a specific timeline outside of each actor who plays the part, however I think the inclusion of the DB5 in Goldfinger spec was out of place.

    Round two. No changes or additions but reordering to fit better.

    Connery
    Goldfinger
    Dr. No
    From Russia With Love
    Thunderball
    You Only Live Twice
    Diamonds are Forever

    Lazenby
    On Her Majesty's Secret Service (After Tracy dies, Blofeld goes into hiding is never found again, his injuries are permanent leaving him paralyzed, but he like SPECTRE he strikes when the time is right, but it leads to his down fall 12 years later in FYEO)

    Moore
    The Spy Who Loved Me
    Live and Let Die
    The Man With The Golden Gun
    Moonraker
    For Your Eyes Only (finishes up Blofeld era.)
    A View To A Kill (Putting this one first is better because you could say his previous missions made him stressed out making him look older so ending with Octopussy makes him end on a high note.)
    Octopussy

    Dalton
    The Living Daylights
    (The PTS to GoldenEye would go here.)
    Licence to Kill

    Brosnan
    GoldenEye
    Tomorrow Never Dies
    Die Another Day
    The World is Not Enough
    (rearranged so Brosnan's run ends on a higher note.)

    One problem with your timeline, @MrBond, is placing Skyfall before Goldfinger. The inclusion of the Aston Martin WITH ejector seat pretty much dictates that Skyfall must occur after Goldfinger. (I could also take issue with you including video game titles, but that's neither here nor there.) And does any timeline really NEED to have both Thunderball and Never Say Never Again? They are the same story, after all...
