You Only Live Twice is -- in my opinion -- underrated. Plus, the end is what gets parodied in the Simpsons, making it semi-essential nerd viewing. Plus I love the theme song again, and the gimmick (Bond dying) is good. I thought Skyfall sort of revisited some of the themes.
Man With The Golden Gun is perhaps a dull film...I just like Christopher Lee. Plus, it establishes the Golden Gun mythos.
I like OHMSS...I don't know how essential it is, just because it was in a lot of ways a one-off. The constant actor changes with Blofeld is annoying, imo.

I also like The Spy Who Loved Me, but if I was to recommend a single Moore film, it would be for Your Eyes Only.
I think Live and Let Die is a fun film as well. Great score. And yeah, the whole racial thing is just bizarre to watch now, but makes for a very unique setting/villains for the franchise thus far.
YOLT.. is iffy.. it has a lot of goofy elements that I love.. the jet pack, Little Nellie, the lair in a volcano, the ninjas and the likes.. but we shall say it's more near the top middle for me.
I can't in good faith ever recommend the Man with a Golden Gun to anyone!
And I love OHMSS because it's one off.. it feels so vastly different from the entire franchise, partially because of that and how toned down it is.
