I'm surprised to see so much hate for Live and Let Die. Tomorrow Never Dies doesn't belong anywhere near a bottom 5, nor does TWINE. Both are underrated.
My bottom 5 are- A View to a Kill
- Never Say Never Again
- Quantum of Solace
- Octopussy
- Spectre or TMWTGG for the final slot.

Consensus among the pseudo-fanbase would likely be:
MOONRAKER
A VIEW TO A KILL
DIE ANOTHER DAY
QUANTUM OF SOLACE
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER
But real fans know it is really this:
Quantum of Solace
The World is Not Enough
Licence to Kill
Skyfall
Diamonds Are Forever
It is allowable however to swap in Spectre, The Living Daylights or Thunderball. But under no conditions are any of Moore's films to be touched. -

Am I the only Bond fan who puts TWINE in my top 5? It's so hated by many. I think it was one of the better plots.
As for NSNA being "unofficial", it's still a James Bond movie starring Sean Connery, so I still think of it as one. Not every Bond movie adapted from Fleming's character, has to be made by EON.
I mean when it comes to movies featuring the character of Zorro for example, you will find movies throughout the last 90 years that were made by various different companies. When it comes to movies featuring Tarzan, there are different movies throughout the last 90 years made by different companies as well. Same with Dracula, etc.
So why can't NSNA get recognition as a Bond movie, the same way other movies do featuring the same fictional characters? -

Good point, Ryno! Almost always I include NSNA.
The problem is that most of the Bondfilms are actually very good films. Some of us though, think they are perhaps good but not good as Bondfilms,- Thats why non bad films like License and TWINE often get to the bottom by some fans. We all interpret the concept of a "Bondfilm" differently. Some, for instance, discount all Moore films for a reason of "silliness" no matter what they actually consist of.
Dont worry about you being the only one thinking TWINE is great. You belong to a group that is not so small. When I was younger in the 90s,I thought TWINE had a better more thinking approach than the rather mecanical TND and I enjoyed it. Today, I still enjoy it, but the competition is huge, and to have a favorite is not always the same thing as it being the GREAT film.
Believe me, noone here adores AVTAK as much as me. I even watched it yesterday again and I seem to be one of very few who think its immensively much more rewarding and generous than FYEO. I also dig Diamonds. What shall I do? Is DAF a great Bondfilm or just a great and crazy satire? The latter is what Connery seemed to have thought. Just speculating

I'd say about one third of the Bond movies are good, but NSNA is not one of the bottom five worst by any means and it does have some entertaining merits about it.
AVTAK has aged the worst for me, out of all of them, besides QOS. DAF is not as bad as people say and I could go either way on it. I put it slightly below NSNA I think. Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd were the best part of that movie. -

RynoII: I'd say about one third of the Bond movies are good, . *********************************************************
Oh dear, ryno. That was about the most depressing things I ever heard (about movies). You seriously mean that 64% of Bonds are not good films? Wow! I have seen so many awful movies in my life, and that is a good experience. How else are you going to learn how hard it is to make a film?
Anyways, I believe that all of the Bond films are good films, although there are one or two that I seriously dont enjoy watching that much
Guess I am a hopeless Bondlover?
