Oh shit. I am a massive Bond fan. I respect this ordering, definitely. I think it's a good representation.
I can't really 'order' them so much as I can 'tier' them and order them inside that. The tiers are ranked in order of their enjoyability.

Oh, Now People Like Action Movies that are Extended Miami Vice Episodes? Tier: The Living Daylights License to Kill
Awesome list Dennis, but I could write a Teq length essay disagreeing with you on your assessment of The Living Daylights. That was classic Cold War era Bond, and I think Timothy Dalton is way underrated as 007.
If OHMSS had cut out the scenes with Bond wearing a kilt, it would’ve been a perfect.
I hated that game because I didn’t have N64 and my fren would wipe the floor with me so I would get pissed and yell PUT IT ON NFL BLITZ BITCH AND WE WILL SEE WHO THE REAL TUFF GUY IS!!!!!

I would get killed at Tac Town TUFF gaming camp.
You don’t wanna see the sqwad at a tuff Halo LAN party.
No, but seriously. I had a buddy who was ranked top 5 in Halo 2 rumble pit in the entire world and he started a clan that was also ranked. Fuckers were infuriating to play against.

Dalton as Bond could definitely work ... Craig has taken the path Dalton started down and ran with it with better support all around him.
Bond’s in the latter half of Moore’s tenure into the Dalton range really started losing their way and were all over the map. You start looking at the movies for a mix of good and bad.
OHMSS is just classic Bond to me that goes from start to finish and holds up the best with the period in which the movie was shot in. Bond movies SHOULDNT have psychedelic elements to it but it worked somehow and stands the test of time. Diana Rigg hands down is the best Bond female to me as Tracy ... the ending busts me up every time I see it. Add in a great turn by Telly Savalas as Blofeld and you’re hitting all the high points.
There’s also a cult-like element to OHMSS given that it was Lazenby’s one and only ... most discredit it because of that.

No Wes Andersen?
Sad!
I've got Bottle Rocket, his first and my favorite.
Major League is another movie, like White Men Can't Jump, that I watched about a thousand times as a kid. "Juuuuuust a bit outside." This movie and "Hot Shots" were peak Charlie Sheen.
Bob Uecker played the play-by-play guy in Major League, and turns out he's pretty funny himself. If you haven't heard Norm Macdonald and Artie Lange tell Bob Uecker stories on Letterman and Stern, you're missing out:
Life Aquatic - for me this is the GOAT Wes Anderson movie. Just love everything about it and pick something new up every time I watch.
The Kings Speech: I just recently watched this movie for the second time after originally seeing it in theaters when it first came out. My God, the end gave me chills, elite tier acting.
Midnight in Paris: Something about this dorky romcom has serious rewatchability. I also find it to be a great date movie because it's obscure and charming. Woody Allen is a perv and he makes movies to get weirdos laid, which I appreciate.
Did not read through everyone’s list yet but made sure I haven’t posted already as not to repeat myself.
Guarantee mine will be way off from most here 180 degrees, but that’s par for course caus my lingo seems to be not understandable by many. But here goes:
1: Lonesome Dove—I know it’s not a movie per say but could be a long one of fashioned together. It’s the GOAT.
Really in no particular order:
The Outlaw Josey Whales PREDATOR Smokey and the Bandit Life(EM and ML) El Dorado The Good, Bad, and Ugly North To Alaska Dances With Wolves Rio Bravo
Could include a few more westerns but 10’s the max here.

I hate having to chin this. But so much is right with this post.
