60's: Goldfinger, OHMSS
70's: TSWLM, Moonraker (pretty good action though)
80's: LTK, Octopussy
90's: Goldeneye, TWINE (still awesome)
00's: DAD, CR (I hope the new one's better)

Well, first off everyone is entitled to their opinion i guess??

Can't believe people hate OHMSS - up there for best Bond story/plot with FRWL. Moonraker, while not great, surely can't be worse than The Man With The Golden Gun (so boring YAWN). Octopussy has got to be better than AVTAK (which just blows)
And what a whopper - DAD is better than CR. No way! CR is the best Bond film since, well, The Living Daylights and probably before that even. DAD is just awful. An ice palace that has more than just a passing resemblance to the Sydney Opera House being melted by a death ray. Oh my, Thunderbirds gone wrong!

60s: Goldfinger-On Her Majestys Secret Service
70s: The Spy Who Loved Me-Moonraker
80s: License To Kill- A View to a Kill
90s: Goldeneye-The World is Not Enough
00s: Casino Royale- Quantuam of Solace

I don't really understand why people hate Die Another Day? I really enjoyed it!! The World is Not Enough isn't a bad Bond movie either, it just wasn't my favorite from Brosnan!! I also thought Brosnan was one of the best Bonds too!!

60's - You Only Live Twice / Thunderball (none are awful)
70's - TSWLM / Diamonds Are Forever ( far worse than Moonraker)
80's - Licence To Kill / A View To A Kill (an easy decision as the others are fine)
90's - GoldenEye/ TWINE (bland but not bad)
00's - Casino Royale / Die Another Day (although QoS was pretty ropey)

I enjoy every movie in the series, but obviously some are better than others.

60s BEST: Thunderball
70s BEST: The Spy Who Loved Me/Live And Let Die
80s BEST: Licence To Kill
90s BEST: Goldeneye
00s BEST: Casino Royale

60s WORST: You Only Live Twice (My least favorite Bond in the series)
70s WORST: Diamonds Are Forever
80s WORST: A View To A Kill (Hard choice because I love all of the 80s Bonds)
90s WORST: Tomorrow Never Dies
00s WORST: Die Another Day

To reiterate, even though I consider them the worst I still enjoy them.

60s: Hated all of them.
70s: This one
80s: License to Kill (that was a a tough one ! So many good ones in the 80s)
90s: I honestly don't know which ones are which, but the one were he's with that black girl and she says "Atleast we're gonna die rich" is terrible.
2000s: Casino Royale (it's quite short but it was still good. Ope ! That's what SHE said ! as for Quantum of sh't face, that one doesn't even count as a Bond movie.)
2010s: Skyfall
