I would personally bump License to Kill and On Her Majesty's Secret Service to must watch. And For Your Eyes Only would go into semi-essential.

I added The Spy Who Loved Me.
Live and Let Die is a personal favorite of mine...from the theme song, to the car and boat chase, to the awkward and cheesy race relations. I think it's a fun film. Plus...Baron Samedi.
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.
