RE: Any reason Never Say Never Again wasn't ranked?

Never Say Never Again is not an official Bond film apparently.
"Never Say Never Again is considered "unofficial" because it was not created by Eon Productions, the company behind the other James Bond films. Hence the absence of such Bond film iconography as the gun barrel opening, the distinctive title sequences, or the Monty Norman-composed James Bond theme."
I always felt Octopussy was harshly viewed because it came out the same year as Never Say Never Again and the Connery fans locked onto and nitpicked it.
Octopussy also made considerably more money than NSNA and on a smaller budget. Which infuriated the Connery fanboys.
Octopussy has its supporters
