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).

Heh, were I to rate that run for my preference it would be
QOS
DAD
CR

That's my order too. CR just doesn't do anything for me.

My order as well.

You left out TND by accident here.

You're not the only one mate, I feel the same way about CR. Though, it did pick up once they hit Montenegro I will admit. There were some very fun moments.

Well, I wouldn't want to ruin your 2nd favorite movie.

It's a great movie, but QOS and SP thrill me more!

Wadsy · December 2015

I would rank the DC films as follows:
1. Spectre
2. Skyfall
3. Casino Royale
4. Quantum Of Solace

The top two I adore, the others, not so much.

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

You can't claim it if you think DAF is a bad film then!

Then I will go with Dr No, FRWL and GF, followed by the five John Glen films.

For me it most likely goes:

1) SP
2) SF
3) QoS
4) CR

I will admit that, objectively, CR is a groundbreaking movie. But on a personal level, it just doesn't thrill me too much and I have some criticisms of it, although like any criticism of a Bond film, it's based on my subjective criteria of what I like and dislike.

It does have a brisk pace though, which is one of the main reasons why I rank it above TB.

I am glad SP is getting the likes it deserves

Wadsy, I noticed that you and hmd have 5 films in common in your bottom 7s. Pretty interesting.

You guys also share 6 Top 10 films. I guess your tastes aren't too different.

Golrush007 · December 2015

I was having this discussion with a friend yesterday. He hasn't been too keen on any of the Craig films apart from Casino Royale. However, I was arguing that CR-SP is possibly the best run of four films in the series so far. I think it probably narrowly beaten by DN-TB in my opinion.

This is how these films fit into my Bond ranking:

DN - 7
FRWL - 1
GF - 4
TB - 12

CR - 2
QoS - 13
SF - 5
SP - 9

Oh you are a New Zealander

Have you bumped into Lee Tamahori rolling around in gutter drinking from a bottle of meths?

blame_thatcher · December 2015

Dr.No to Goldfinger, obviously.

The Wicker Man · December 2015

The best run of films - DN to OHMSS.
But I really enjoy - TSWLM to OP - Four Fun Filled Films.

Nah but I bumped into Martin Campbell drinking a Vesper -{

Agent Lee · December 2015

Gotta go with DN to OHMSS. Nearly flawless run of films.

Runners up would be CR-SP (might have been my #1 pick were it not for QoS) and TLD-GE.

DR NO-ah · December 2015

I would go Dr No-Goldfinger or maybe DN-DAF but I am not a huge fan of TB/YOLT.

On a more personal level I really enjoy the run of DAF-MR. Not the best of films but none that I consider to be among the worst.

James Suzuki · December 2015

LALD-OP
And DN-OHMSS
Those two are probs my favorite

Wadsy · November 2016

I think someone once posted a good consecutive trilogy for Bond films. That being said, I would nominate the following groups of three (in order of preference):

A View To A Kill
The Living Daylights
Licence To Kill

For Your Eyes Only
Octopussy
A View To A Kill

Dr No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger

The Spy Who Loved Me
Moonraker
For Your Eyes Only

Firemass · November 2016

Wadsy, those are some very good trilogies indeed. I can see you're not a Brosnan fan, but my favorite run might actually be GE-TND-TWINE in terms of sheer enjoyment and no major issues.

I'm just not a huge fan of TLD (issues with taliban), FYEO (issues with Bibi Dahl), and FRWL (issues with slow nonsensical plot) and that puts a damper on each trilogy that you mentioned.

I don't rate Brosnan's films very highly on an individual basis, but as a collective, I actually agree with you.

welshguy34 · November 2016

Dr No to OHMSS for me also.

Wadsy · November 2016

Funnily, I consider Moore's first two films to be my least favourites where most people would indicate his last two. I think his films got better over time due to having three directors during his reign as Bond. Besides Goldfinger, I dislike Guy Hamilton's directing style. Lewis Gilbert is pretty good, though a tad unrealistic and John Glen perfects everything for me.

Yeah, I don't like any of the Brosnan films except Goldeneye. I can sit through The World Is Not Enough as there are some memorable parts for me, but the other two are not for me.

Best consecutive run of films
