The first two shorts are practical with a mostly serious tone sprinkled with a few witty jokes.

The property of a lady - not good or bad.
The living daylights - one of my favorites, with an excellent plot twist and strong characters.
700 in New York - fun, mostly Bond's musings on how hard it is to get tasty good food in NY where the norm is canned and fast food.

The Hildebrand Rarity - solid practical plot regarding illegal poaching ethics. Discussion of women in abusive relationships hasn't aged as well as the rest of the story.
Octopussy - I enjoy the naturalistic references in all the shorts. They way they're implemented in Octopussy gives one of the most satisfying conclusions of all the stories.

1) From a View to a Kill - slow plot, interesting inner monologue from Bond.
2) For Your Eyes Only - more adventurous, interesting locations, comedic flirtations between characters.
3) Quantum of Solace - interesting drama
4) Risico - my favorite by far. Excellent adventure, manipulative characters, plot twist, and witty dialogue.
