Best consecutive run of films

in The James Bond Films
Watching FYEO last night I thought of something - what is the best run of consecutive films?

I know people will disagree with this but I think TSWLM to OP is the best, they're all great films and represent Moore's most successful set of films. To me, nothing stick out in the middle of it as a bad film.

2nd I'd probably say DN to TB, although I feel less affection for GF over time.
1. TWINE 2. FYEO 3. MR 4. TLD 5. TSWLM 6. OHMSS 7. DN 8. OP 9. AVTAK 10. TMWTGG 11. QoS 12. GE 13. CR 14. TB 15. FRWL 16. TND 17. LTK 18. GF 19. SF 20. LaLD 21. YOLT 22. NTTD 23. DAD 24. DAF. 25. SP

    IMHO, the best run was DN to OHMSS.
    Though my favourite is TLD to TWINE. :007)
    CR through SP rocks.
    Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    This is an interesting question. I'll just give 2 subjective answers:

    TLD to TWINE

    L&LD to MR

    1. DN to OHMSS - 6 films (best in terms of overall quality)
    2. LALD to OP - 6 films
    3. LTD to LTK - 2 films
    4. SF to SPECTRE to ? - ongoing

    Dr No to Goldfinger is the classic trilogy.

    Another impressive streak is OP to TWINE (if that can be counted as consecutive considering the gap between LTK and GE)

    (I'm a fan of AVTAK but not FYEO. Otherwise that streak would start with TSWLM for me)
    My current 10 favorite:

    1. GE 2. MR 3. OP 4. TMWTGG 5. TSWLM 6. TND 7. TWINE 8.DN 9. GF 10. AVTAK

    I like LTK better than any Bond film that has come after it, but it just feels too 80s and not enough like a Bond film.

    CR through SP rocks.

    Totally agree with DN thru OHMSS. Nothing will ever top that initial classic 'big bang.'

    CR thru SP has been a great run of success as well, however polarizing for some. Sorry, craighauntsmybaddreams.com-types! :D

    Agreed, Licence To Kill is a terrific Bond film.

    I do understand that the Bond films have had to move with the times. And being of a certain age, perhaps I am stuck somewhat in the past. As I do generally favour the older films, TV series and popular music.

    The first 16 movies are "more than" what fans bargained for .... You could be forgiven for thinking of post LTK films as similar to Bond continuation novels authored by others

    FYEO-GE would definitely get my vote if it wasn't for TLD.

    Nothing against TLD, it's a good film, but it's not one of my favourites, unlike all the others on that list.

    Dr No To Licence To Kill mainly, excluding Diamonds Are Forever, which is a terrible film.

    Honourable Mentions include:

    FYEO, OP, AVTAK, TLD & TLD (John Glen's films were my personal best era)
    DN, FRWL & GF
    TLD & LTK
    SF & SP

    If you gave Higgins a stiff shot of sodium pentathol, he'd confess that the finest run was simply TLD to LTK. That MUST be his favourite run. He doth protest too much; that's just so telling. B-)
    Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    ...just kidding :))


    Objectively:
    -Dr. No - Thunderball
    -TSWLM - Octopussy

    Sadly there haven't been any more if you want at least three films in a row.

    From my personal view:
    -Dr. No to Goldfinger
    -The Spy Who Loved Me to Octopussy
    -The Living Daylights to Tomorrow Never Dies
    -Die Another Day to Quantum Of Solace

    As you can see below, those are all in my Top 17 and I consider all of those 17 movies to be very good to excellent.
    Dalton Rulez™

    I would say the best so far has been Dr No-OHMSS

    But Casino Royale - Spectre has been awesome too

    In fact, YOLT to TMWTG features some of the highest grossing / trend setting / interesting / different films in the Bond franchise ;)

    Read the "interesting" films thread and you would find many of the films from this group listed

    From my personal view:
    -Die Another Day to Quantum Of Solace

    Many are more likely to consider that^ as a joke :))

    I'm prob in a very small group for liking CR the least out of that run.

    Jarvio is the other user I know who's with me on that (unless he changes his mind).
