My turn. 8-)

1. From Russia With Love
2. Casino Royale
3. Dr No
4. The Spy Who Loved Me
5. Licence To Kill

Controversial opinions:
1. You Only Live Twice is a fucking awful film. Terribly directed, atrociously acted, sloppy & tiresome. Only Die Another Day is worse IMO.
2. For Your Eyes Only is just outside my top 5 or 6, my 2nd favourite with Moore. It's a snappy, understated, dark Bond film and too often overlooked.
3. The rot was already starting to set in for Connery in Goldfinger. He was already "doing his Bond" in that film and lost the more serious, gritty performances from his 1st two.

Now that’s some proper opinioning!

I do kind of get what you’re saying about Goldfnger, but the less serious nature is why I love it. Dr No and From Russia with Love are great films, but the mild irreverence of Goldfinger is where it lands for me.

The Spy Who Loved Me, interesting choice. Always found that (and Octopussy) to be the weakest Moore films.

Just because they remind me of my childhood, not because of any real preference, so pretty interchangeable:

1 The spy who loved me
2 You only live twice
3 The man with the golden gun
4 Goldfinger
5 Diamonds are forever
