Rating & ranking the Bond films objectively

in The James Bond Films
If there were to be a ranking list based - not on your own opinion of the movies - but in terms of how most other people viewed them and their overall acclaim, how would you do it? Here's basically an average of most lists I've read. It certainly kills me to put some of these as high/low as I did, but in the name of objectivitah.

1 Goldfinger
2 From Russia With Love
3 Dr. No
4 Goldeneye
5 Casino Royale
6 Skyfall
7 On Her Majesty's Secret Service
8 The Spy Who Loved Me
9 You Only Live Twice
10 For Your Eyes Only
11 Thunderball
12 Diamonds Are Forever
13 Live and Let Die
14 The Living Daylights
15 Tomorrow Never Dies
16 License to Kill
17 Moonraker
18 The World Is Not Enough
19 Quantum of Solace
20 Octopussy
21 Man with the Golden Gun
22 A View to a Kill
23 Die Another Day

    I'm surprised MWGG was well received compared to the others.
