That's how I see it .
Mine are usually when im a bit tipsy (or more) and this reflects in my mad choices : DAF,TMWTGG,AVTAK,TND,TWINE,DAD,QOS.
Then I'd probably have this list as my go-to for now (it changes):
1. FYEO *
2. DN *
3. OHMSS *
4. QoS *
5. LTK *
6. TLD *
7. OP *
8. SP ^^
9. DAF *
10. MR *
11. NSNA ^^
12. GF ^^
* - great repeat viewing value even if some aren't my faves.
^^ - more for curiosity or because I haven't seen them as much and am trying to appreciate them more. These could drop down in time.
Films I really enjoy like SF, TMWTGG, TSWLM, GE, TB & FRWL are kept for special occasions, so I view them less regularly.
For me, yes. I look at go-to's as the Bonds I tend to pop in more often, am more often in the mood for, and that consistently hits the spot each time. Regardless of how I feel they rank quality, or story wise.
For instance AVTAK, was at the very bottom for me for quite a long time (until the Brosnan era), yet these days I find it one of the most repeatedly entertaining.
Only FYEO makes my top ten of the Glen films, but the Dalton films are close.
Yes, I imagine it has wall to wall posters of Kara in various states of undress!
I better increase my supply of crucifix's.
"Take me on the wheel barry!"
I'll take her on the bloody rack !!
Kinky!!
Oi that's copyrighted ..he he .
Though our placements aren't identical, we definitely have the same general thinking of what the better and weaker Bond films are. A couple somewhat significant differences, but nothing too drastic. Great list!
You’d be happy to see QOS taking a huge step forward in my latest ranking.

@GoldenGun, it's good to see the TLD love. It's a film (along with GF) which I most differ with the community about. I'm due a rewatch soon to see if I can re-evaluate it positively.

As you can see, this has not just been a mere tectonic shift, but a Max Zorin Silicon Valley-esque superearthquake for myself - to put it mildly, it's certainly interesting.
Not a defender of TND myself, but I do appreciate Schiavelli.
Some similarities to my list, most notably CR at #1 and GE at #8. Biggest differences would be TB, LALD, DN, and FRWL; all of those are in my Top 10 as of now. But I like that list. We definitely agree what the general weakest entries are.
