My Personal Rank Of The James Bond Pre-title Sequences

This is the last in the series of my preference for the different elements found in 007 movies. The other ranks can be found in earlier posts that include favorite films, songs, girls, villains, henchmen and title sequences.
The following is my list of the worst to best pre-title sequences. They usually include Bond in some sort of separate action sequence somehow related to the plot, but every once in a while it is completely disunited from the rest of the film.
It should be noted, Dr. No did not include a pre-title sequence and that element of the film did not come along until the second movie.

21. Live and Let Die
20. For Your Eyes Only
19. Diamonds are Forever
18. A View to a Kill
17. License to Kill
16. Moonraker
15. Die Another Day
14. The Man With the Golden Gun
13. You Only Live Twice
12. Octopussy
11. Tomorrow Never Dies
10. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
9. Casino Royale
8. From Russia With Love
7. Thunderball
6. Quantum of Solace
5. Goldfinger
4. Goldeneye
3. The Spy Who Loved Me
2. The World is not Enough

My Personal Rank Of The James Bond Title Sequences

This is part of an ongoing account I have started where I list from my most disliked to my favorite elements of the 007 film series.
Today I will be focusing on the part of the film that most people probably don't pay too much attention to: the title sequences. That is when the cast and makers of the film are listed while silhouettes of nude women dance around in the background to the theme song of the movie.
Each title sequence for a film is unique in its own right, but the James Bond movies tie in elements of the film or of the time period to accentuate the film.
Here is my list.

22. License to Kill
21. Moonraker
20. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
19. Octopussy
18. The Living Daylights
17. The Man With the Golden Gun
16. Quantum of Solace
15. You Only Live Twice
14. Diamonds Are Forever
13. Dr. No
12. Tomorrow Never Dies
11. A View to a Kill
10. Die Another Day
9. Goldfinger
8. Goldeneye
7. For Your Eyes Only
6. The World is not Enough
5. Casino Royale
4. Live and Let Die
3. The Spy Who Loved Me
2. From Russia With Love
1. Thunderball

Consider The Pain Brought

I was nervous before the BCS National Championship game, but after the first few drives and seeing that the Longhorns were getting some breaks go their way, I was optimistic that Colt McCoy could handle the Alabama defense. Yet, the second McCoy went out and I saw what the substitute quarterback was capable of I knew this was a hopeless cause.
As long as McCoy is out, I have no hope this will end well. Let's hope he comes back for the second half.

Ray of Sunshine Update: Texas is showing their grit and giving me just a little confidence they can pull this one out. It is now up to the defense to get a stop and then the offense needs to get three points to tie or a touchdown for the win.
