Here's an update to my list, with brief notes on each:
1 - LALD - Still my favourite, probably always will be
2 - AVTAK - I don't care about the 'flaws', they don't effect this very enjoyable film for me
3 - LTK - Went up a stop. Just a great movie
4 - OP - Went down a spot but still a favourite of mine
5 - SF - By far DC's best
6 - FYEO - Solid film
7 - GE - Went up a spot. Largely for Xenia and the Cuba scenes
8 - OHMSS - Great film, only let down by Lazenby
9 - DN - A great all-rounder, with the best bond girl
10 - DAF - Underrated. Very enjoyable, although a little odd, but in the good way
11 - TSWLM - Mainly for the Egypt scenes
12 - TLD - Consistent film, only let down by Kara
13 - YOLT - Can bore me at times, but when I'm in the mood for it I enjoy it
14 - TMWTGG - Mainly for Scaramanga and his island
15 - FRWL - Nothing wrong with this one, but I'm just not in love with it like so many are
16 - MR - Here's a shock - I've grown to like space. And I love the amazon temple. But I still don't like of the jokey Jaws stuff
17 - GF - It's a good film, but just average in bond-standards for me. Overrated {:)
18 - TWINE - Boring in places, but has a great villain in Elektra King
19 - TND - Again, bores me in places, but has some good bits
20 - CR - Just not for me, although I recognise it as a well-made film
21 - DAD - Has enjoyable bits, but too much bad stuff and bad CGI
22 - QOS - Same as CR, just not as well-made though
23 - TB - Has Fiona Volpe who is great, but apart from that, a bit of a snoozefest for me
Jarvio, interesting to see how you love SF but aren't as big on the other 2 Craig films.
And Bondage loves CR, but isn't too big on QoS or SF.
One sees funny things in this site.

Bond actors to be re-ranked later
I love it how Jarvio loves the John Glen Bond films. Thumbs up for that, I think all of his films were fantastic, with For Your Eyes Only being the best (followed closely by Living Daylights), and Octopussy being his weakest directorial effort.
1.GoldenEye- My favorite. Great everything. Bond movie I grew up watching every single day.
2. Goldfinger- Classic. Connery at his best. Great villian. Great henchman.
3. OHMSS- HONESTLY great film. Lazenby wasn't as horrible as I heard he was. Loved the tone of the film. Great action sequences. Plus that ending. .
4. CR- To me it's a classic. Bond at its best, and what a debut for DC. Vesper is great. And this shows that action does not need to drive the film.
5.Skyfall- Overall great film. Has all the right elements of a great Bond movie. Background info on Bond something new and refreshing. Nice nostalgia kicks bringing back Moneypenny and Q. Few references to old films.
6. Moonraker- Love this movie. Always have. Something about it. Easily my favorite Moore film.
7. LTK- Very good all around film. Great pacing and villian. Great Bond Girl
8.FRWL- All around great film. Really made the Bond formula here.
9. LALD- Awesome Moore debut. Loved the simplicity and setting. Might go higher with time.
10. Dr.No- The start. Connery setting the standard.
11. TSWLM- Very good, but again nothing great. If not for the ending it'd be average to me.
12. YOLT- Even with the hokey stuff in here its still a great Bond flick. Very enjoyable. Just forget about Japanese Bond though.
13. QOS- Enjoyed this movie. Great action pieces. And I honestly liked the plot and story. Tied strings up well. Downside very forgettable villian.
14. TND- Good start. Slow middle. Good finish. Nothing very memorable.
15. TLD- Very good action pieces. Love the setting and the final battle. More serious Tone was needed after Moore.
16. DAD- Great start. Ok Middle. Hokey but entertaining end.
17. TWINE- Electra King was great. Villian was ok. Good opening and ending.
18. TB- Not bad , but not a huge fan of underwater scenes taking over the movie. Bond Girl was great. Movie had some good moments.
19.FYEO- Very basic plot. But executed well. Great first half. Not as great 2nd half.
20. DAF- Little hokey and over the top. Blofield isnt used very well. Decent last hurrah for Connery
21. TMWTGG- Love the villian and knick knack. Had potential to be really great. Might like this one more with passage of time.
22. Octopussy- I'm not sure what it was but did not like the pacing of this film. Ending was really good. But the first 3 quarters were lackluster.
23. AVTAK- Again good last 30 minutes. Walken was an amazing psycho. Loved his role. The rest was honestly boring. Still had some fun parts.
how would you rank every bond film- i have not listed NSNA and CR as i have not yet seen them but of the "official" films here is how i rank them:1 From Russia With Love
2 The Living Daylights
3 Goldfinger
4 For Your Eyes Only
5 Thunderball
6 The Spy Who Loved Me
7 Goldeneye
8 License to Kill
9 The World is Not Enough
10 You Only Live Twice
11 Diamonds Are Forever
12 Dr. No
13 The Man With the Golden Gun
14 Tomorrow Never Dies
15 On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
16 A View to a Kill
17 Octopussy
18 Live and Let Die
19 Moonraker
20 Die Another Day
Well, you are rating these as all action movies. Live and Let Die is better than many farce movies. I judge all the the Moore movies as campy fun, so I find his "best" one. And I find the Spy Who Loved Me is just a bit too serious and dry (except for the opener, which is probably the best). And For Your Eyes Only is just too creepy.
I never thought I would put a Daniel Craig film in my top 20, but now that I'm a QoS fan I should make a new ranking:
Mid-range Bond that I really enjoy:
10. QoS - Craig nails a performance as Fleming's Bond. Can't handle the fast pace? Go back to watching Thunderball. )
11. TMWTGG - Quirky and strange in a cool way. Only JW prevents this one from being in my top 10.
12. LTK - Violent and brutal. I have to be in the mood for this one, but I do have much respect for it.
13. OP - Problematic, but also highly enjoyable. Perhaps my most watched Bond film for sheer entertainment.
14. DAD - Expecting the worst Bond film? The first hour is actually rock solid. And still enough good moments in the 2nd half to keep me interested. Especially the car chase on ice.
15. CR - Hmmm, well I like the Fleming parts of the film. The rest is just filler.
The rest I have gotten a lot of enjoyment over the years, but nowadays I almost never watch:
FRWL - Boring. Not a fan of the novel or the film. Great style, but the plot doesn't make any sense.
THUNDERBALL - Boring. Great novel, poor film version.
YOLT- Boring. I will watch MR or TSWLM instead!
DAF - Quite funny actually and never boring. However, I just can't dig the sleezy, campy feel of DAF. Excellent novel wasted.
OHMSS- Boring. Not a fan of the novel or the film.
LALD - Used to love this one, but now I find it almost unwatchable. Some parts of it are super cool though.
FYEO - Boring. Bad attempts at humor. Uneven tone. Bibi Dahl is annoying. The 2nd half is excruciatingly slow with the underwater and climbing scenes.
SKYFALL Worst Bond film ever written.
My current 10 favorite:
1. GE 2. MR 3. OP 4. TMWTGG 5. TSWLM 6. TND 7. TWINE 8.DN 9. GF 10. AVTAK
1 - Casino Royale - IMO the best theme so far. YKWM fits the movie perfectly. It's dark and has some awesome actionscenes, think of the Madagascar scene or the Miami one. The pokertournament is perfect, my dad knew that Bond was in trouble without knowing how poker works. Great movie.
2 - GoldenEye - GE, I don't know what it is, but there is something about this film and it's awesome! Brosnan rocks and so does the rest of the cast.
3 - Tomorrow Never Dies - A great actionpacked film. I love it, same as GE, there's something awesome about it.
4 - Goldfinger - A golden movie with a golden Connery.
5 - Licence To Kill - I love the darker theme and Sanchez is a great villian.
6 - The Spy Who Loved Me - Funny, action packed and a solid Moore on his perfect age, it's sad that Bach was way too wooden.
7 - The Living Daylights - Kara might not the the most beautiful Bondgirl, but she's a loveable character. Oh and the Aston is great, beautiful car.
8 - On Her Majesty's Secret Sevice - Just a great movie, the story is nice and it's different than the rest, I do like Lazenby.
9 - From Russia With Love - Just one of the better ones, it has it all and it's just magic.
10 - The World Is Not Enough - Great to see a different kind of Bond movie, until Skyfall it was the only one where there was an personal attack on M and I like how they did it in this movie.
11 - The Man With The Golden Gun - I just love the music of this film, I love Lulu's score and the film score. Scaramanga and NickNack are great. Sad that the and feels like a copy of the beginning.
12 - Quantum Of Solace - A fine follow up of CR, but it the editroom did do some damage. I quite like the plote, fine film.
13 - For Your Eyes Only - Solid movie, it has it all, the Citroën scene is very enjoyable.
14 - Dr. No - The first one was a great one, the ones above are just better.
15 - Moonraker - I don't care that Bond does go into space. The plot is redicules and sadly Jaws became his own parody, still very fun.
16 - Skyfall - Still don't know what to think about this one, it feels it borrows too much from TWINE and it goes way too deep in the personal life of Bond. Still thinking about this one. The whole midlifecrisis is something that wasn't needed IMO, it's just not who Bond is. Although I do still like this one.
17 - Die Another Die - My first Bondfilm, it's very unrealistic but just as Moonraker, I don't really care. It has great action packed scenes and a awesome, awesome, awesome car chase scene.
18 - A View To A Kill - I used to care way too much about Moore's age, but I didn't care the last time I saw it. I used to not really love it as I do now. It's a good movie. I had a very good time while watching it.
19 - Octopussy - A solid Bondmovie, but not very special. Overall a good film.
20 - Live And Let Die - It's a very good film and I do understand that a lot of fans like it way better that I do. It's just so that I prefer the other ones, this one is fine, but the others all just better.
21 - Diamonds Are Forever - Connery is way better than in TB and YOLT, it's a fine film. Not great.
22 - Thunderball - I think it's fine, not super good or something, I just don't enjoy it that well.
23 - You Only Live Twice - Sorry fans, I just don't seem to like this one very well. It's OK, but nothing more to me. On a good day I enjoy it, but it's not even near to LALD, which it's just 3 places higher.

I find it "Shocking. Positively shocking." that you have GF so low. What are your issues with it?
I have no issues with it really. I think it's a good film, but I just happen to like many of the others better. It's basically a good film that doesn't really do much for me. There is lots I like about it, but not much I "love" about it.
But, to be honest, I enjoy every single bond film. Even my rock bottom DAD.
Though my list is quite different than yours Jarvio, I have much of the same mentality and find myself agreeing with a lot of what you have to say! I love all of the Bond films, but some others just do more for me and give me further enjoyment and happiness. Here's my most up to date list, which may change a bit as I am finishing up a marathon currently:
1.) Moonraker
2.) The Living Daylights
3.) Casino Royale
4.) From Russia With Love
5.) Live and Let Die
6.) The Spy Who Loved Me
7.) Skyfall
8.) On Her Majesty's Secret Service
9.) GoldenEye
10.) Thunderball
11.) You Only Live Twice
12.) Dr. No
13.) Licence to Kill
14.) Octopussy
15.) Goldfinger
16.) The Man With The Golden Gun
17.) A View to a Kill
18.) For Your Eyes Only
19.) Tomorrow Never Dies
20.) Diamonds are Forever
21.) Die Another Day
22.) The World is Not Enough
23.) Quantum of Solace
Not normally the response I receive. It's usually more like "WHAT?!?!" or "You're an idiot" )
My list has changed so much in the past 10 and even 3 years. I have to say you are the first person I've heard, other than myself, to put both Moonraker and The Living Daylights in their top 5! -{
To be honest MR like YOLT are too big for the small screen. They need to be seen
On a big screen, to really get the full scale and scope of these films.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."

I'd give my right nut to see MR on the big screen.

Yeah I saw that you had TLD in there too, and TSWLM in a similar position. Must be :x
The technical achievement of MR alone is why I hold it in such high-regard.

Still hoping one of the retro cinemas near me do a screening of MR. Jealous of the kids who got to see this one on the big screen!

:x
I can't quite put my finger on what makes MR the all around best. Something in my wiring might just be off because the most emotional moment in the entire series for me is when Jaws finds Dolly after fearing the worst might have happened to her. Chokes me up every time!
Check out my Amazon author page!Mark Loeffelholz
"I am not an entrant in the Shakespeare Stakes." - Ian Fleming
"Screw 'em." - Daniel Craig, The Best James Bond EverTM
That's actually a pretty nice spread. It shows an eclectic taste without undo prejudice IMHO.
His Top 10 is clearly dominated by Connery and Craig movies, while also having the Lazenby movie.
So yeah...

I have no issues with it really. I think it's a good film, but I just happen to like many of the others better. It's basically a good film that doesn't really do much for me. There is lots I like about it, but not much I "love" about it.
But, to be honest, I enjoy every single bond film. Even my rock bottom DAD.

"Better make that two."
Not normally the response I receive. It's usually more like "WHAT?!?!" or "You're an idiot"
My list has changed so much in the past 10 and even 3 years. I have to say you are the first person I've heard, other than myself, to put both Moonraker and The Living Daylights in their top 5! -{
Our lists may be different, but we both have a "controversial" number 1 -{
1 - Moore, 2 - Dalton, 3 - Craig, 4 - Connery, 5 - Brosnan, 6 - Lazenby
On a big screen, to really get the full scale and scope of these films.
I'd give my right nut to see MR on the big screen.
Yeah I saw that you had TLD in there too, and TSWLM in a similar position. Must be :x
The technical achievement of MR alone is why I hold it in such high-regard.
"Better make that two."
You're all idiots.
But then who am I to Judge? I like Batman & Robin.

And LALD in our top 5! -{
Still hoping one of the retro cinemas near me do a screening of MR. Jealous of the kids who got to see this one on the big screen!
:x
I can't quite put my finger on what makes MR the all around best. Something in my wiring might just be off because the most emotional moment in the entire series for me is when Jaws finds Dolly after fearing the worst might have happened to her. Chokes me up every time!
All fans here, no matter our person preferences! -{

His Top 10 is clearly dominated by Connery and Craig movies, while also having the Lazenby movie.
So yeah...

This should clear that up nicely.
Don't be mad, you knew it had to happen one day
