I think there is a difference between personal favourites and what is technically speaking a good film. I would in no way suggest that Octopussy is a better piece of film making than Goldfinger (for example), its just I happen to enjoy it more! Likewise YOLT probably isn't Connerys finest hour, but I have watched it more than any of his films. Go figure!
1. Goldfinger

16. A View to a Kill
17. Tomorrow Never Dies
18. Octopussy
19. The Man with the Golden Gun
20. Die Another Day
Goldfinger is by far the best IMO, with the perfect combination of story, cast, design, director, effects, gadgets and score. Die Another Day looked pretty good for an hour, but its truly appalling second hour relegates it to last place.

20 Tommorow Never Dies
My top 4 are the ones that I like the incidental music the best. Good music dosen't get as old as fast as lets say a good plot or a good scene. If I was including Casino Royale I would have it very high on the list because of its music. The last 6 on the list are the films that I am the least familiar with. Like some of you others my list changes all the time. For example; Thunderball used to be at the top of my list.
