Rank Order The PTS's

What it says on the tin. Rank order every PTS from all the official bond films (Dr No obviously not included).
Here's mine:
1 - Goldeneye
Excellent PTS. It has everything - the bungee jump, the infiltration of the weapons facility, sean bean's chemistry with pierce, and the awesome climax with the motorbike and plane. A perfect intro for Brosnan.
2 - The Spy Who Loved Me
This could have easily been my number 1. A great PTS in a pure classic bond fashion. Moore is at his best, and this obviously includes one of the best and most memorable stunts ever - the union jack parachute scene.
3 - Live And Let Die
I love this PTS. Sure it doesn't have bond in, but I just find this PTS so very intriguing and enjoy the three different deaths of the agents. The second death is very interesting. And the third lets us know that we have a voodoo theme set throughout the movie.
4 - Die Another Day
Oh my god. DAD has ranked high in a category. Obviously this is one of the weaker films, but I must admit that the PTS is so damn cool. If only the rest of the film lived up to this.
5 - The Living Daylights
A great introduction to Dalton. Action-packed. Entertaining. Enjoyable.
6 - Goldfinger
I have to rank it up there due to the classic line "Shocking, positively shocking".
7 - The Man With The Golden Gun
Like LALD, it doesn't include bond (although it does include a manikin of him). Maybe an odd choice for a PTS, but I find it stands out due to being rather different. Can only be a good thing.
8 - Licence To Kill
A decent PTS. Nice that we get introduced to the main villain. And it's great when bond and felix enter the wedding in style.
9 - The World Is Not Enough
Obviously some great stunts in this one, and love the boat chase and the use of the millennium dome. My only criticism is that I find it too long.
10 - Thunderball
Not my favourite film, but the PTS is very decent and sets us up for the film well. The jet-pack is classic and memorable.
11 - You Only Live Twice
An ok PTS. Representative of the movie and enjoyable.
12 - Casino Royale
An odd PTS. Very different. That's a good thing, but at the same time it's hard to rank. Great introduction to craig.
13 - From Russia With Love
The first PTS in the series technically. Not the best, but it was interesting enough. Very short, but I suppose PTS's in bond films weren't fully established by that point.
14 - For Your Eyes Only
I'm of two minds on this. On one hand, it is a bit silly and comic-book like. And I don't like this incarnation of blofeld (if it even is him). But on the other hand, it's very entertaining. And that is the main thing that matters.
15 - A View To A Kill
As you all know, I love this underrated film. But I've never been mad on the PTS. It's ok, and has some good bits, and I especially like the iceberg submarine. But obviously california girls ruins part of it.
16 - Octopussy
I'm kind of indifferent to this PTS. There's no california girls, but AVTAK's still ranks higher as I find it more memorable. There's little wrong with OP's PTS (except for "fill her up please") and I find it fairly entertaining, although a little unmemorable.
17 - Diamonds Are Forever
Bond seeking his revenge was cool, but it wasn't at all representative of the film, which makes this rank low(ish) on my list.
18 - Tomorrow Never Dies
Can't remember much about it. And I watched it recently too. That's my problem with this PTS - For some reason I find it extremely unmemorable. Nothing particularly wrong with it, but too forgettable for me.
19 - On Her Majesty's Secret Service
I don't really like this PTS. Some of the camera shots in the sea fight I find to be rather bad, even for their time. And I don't like lazenby's introduction either. And the 'other fella' line was a bit silly in my eyes. I can see why they did it though.
20 - Quantum Of Solace
Camera work ruins it. That is all.
21 - Moonraker
Not only my least favourite bond film, but my least favourite PTS too. Jaws completely ruins it. Not only does he flap his wings to circus music, but he survives the fall. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

1 - Goldeneye

I appreciate that a lot happens in it, but for some reason it's always been one of those PTS's that I've never 'felt', if that makes any sense? Who knows.
