I love Bond, and respect your list *except* where you placed Spectre...like Cal it’s too high.

Oh Lord, it’s the worst of the Craig entries IMO. It was a criminal misuse of Christoph Waltz. Not as bad as Moonraker obviously, but near the bottom of the list.
For the Craig entries it’s Casino, Skyfall, Quantum, Spectre. I do have high hopes for Bond 25. Rami Malek (Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody) will be the villain, so that’s promising.
I don’t want to hijack the thread, but I could rattle on about 007.

Moon[/i] is really, really good. I really wish it would be remade with a bigger budget. They didn't have enough money to do low/zero gravity right, so they just said, "Fuck it; it is what it is." It's fine, because the story and everything else is great, but more accurate physics would put this one way up there.
If you like Primer[/i] (and everyone else should check this one out if they haven't), are you aware of the backstory behind it all? Shane Carruth wrote, directed, scored, and starred in Primer. The entire movie was made with a $6000 budget, yet it makes many top-10 sci-fi of all times lists. His followup movie is called Upstream Color[/i], and it's also amazing. Once again, Carruth told Hollywood to fuck off and made the entire movie in his home state of Texas, using no-name actors and another meager budget. This time, I believe, it was somewhere around $20K. It was actually this movie that made me aware of Carruth's movies, as I was just getting into photography/videography at the time and had bought a Panasonic GH2 (Panny M43 hybrids are fucking amazing cameras for low budget/high quality video), which is the camera used to film Upstream Color[/i].
Also, this movie flow chart is pretty funny if you've seen Primer[/i] (click to enlarge, too big to attach here without annoying everybody).
Other great movies I've thought of recently:
Three Kings
Little Miss Sunshine
Brazil
Dances with Wolves
Vanilla Sky
Magnolia
Commando

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.

Funny, I absolutely love Moon and have watched many tims. I'd never once thought about the low gravity part. Chalk that up to great filmmaking with regard to script and acting I suppose.
I enjoyed Primer very much but I won't pretend to understand it. I'll check out Upstream Color.

I enjoy the hell outta You Only Live Twice, despite the cheeze.
Now I think of it, I've largely skipped the Remington Bond movies.
