    OHMSS vs DAF: This isn't a difficult choice. OHMSS is superior on nearly every level. Having said that, DAF is a very enjoyable entry, and features the more charismatic and superior Bond actor. The score in the later film is also one of Barry's best, as is Bassey's classic title song. However, it's just surpassed on nearly every level by the last 1960's entry. OHMSS for the win.

    TB vs TMWTGG: As I've noted before, I'm a big fan of Moore's sophomore entry. It's a guilty pleasure of mine. However, TB is clearly the better film and in my opinion is one of the best of the series. Both Sean Connery and Roger Moore are absolutely superb in these two respective films and I love all the characters, both scores and the location work. TB is just a far superior entry though and so gets the win.

    Yep. The 60s beat the 70s.

    Very easy.

    OHMSS over DAF - DAF is one of the series' worst, and it particularly hurts that it came right after OHMSS, which is one of the series' best. I prefer OHMSS in every single way.

    TB over TMWTGG - TB is a Top 12 Bond film for me, and then TMWTGG is stuck in the Bottom 5. Easy choice again.

    TB vs TMWTGG

    I had to pick the 2 Bond films based upon the first 2 Ian Fleming novels I read.

    OHMSS, obviously, it’ll be said if anyone’s the contrarian

    This ones a little harder because it’s been a while since I’ve seen TMWTGG, perhaps that’s testemant to its quality so I’ll have to go with TB on this one as much as I’m not a fan.

    OHMSS obviously...

    TB and TMWTGG is close so I go with TMWTGG since it will lose this game anyway

    OHMSS is the obvious and correct choice, although please put me in the category of those who enjoy DAF.

    I'm going to go with TMWTGG as my second choice. It's close, but while Gun has steadily risen in my rankings the past few years, TB has sunk like a stone. So there you go.

    OHMSS and TB, both by a few in my rankings, not a tremendous blowout

    This.

    The pinnacle of Bond v a lazy, uninspired albeit entertaining effort.

    A bloated and in parts dull entry but still punctuated with plenty of moments of quality v a lazier, even more uninspired and sporadically entertaining effort.

    These are both no contest for me, DAF and TMWTGG are always close to being at the bottom two on my list

    OHMSS is usually trending up and TB is always a solid mid range effort

    For the second time, a film gets no votes.

    OHMSS beats DAF 22-0

    TB beats TMWTGG 17-5

    Round 14:

    TMWTGG vs OP

    and

    YOLT vs SF

    Bond in Asia, and all very loosely built on late Fleming.

    Now we're talking.

    TMWTGG vs OP

    OP clearly gets the vote from me. I find it a much more enjoyable romp than the good, but not quite great Golden Gun.

    YOLT vs SF

    Once upon a time the vote would've gone the other way. But YOLT is such a visually impressive movie. Aided immensely by a beautiful John Barry score.

    Good round. OP beats TMWTGG comfortably, because TMWTGG has left me pretty cold the last several times while OP keeps getting better.

    SF beats YOLT, but both have a lot of great classic Bond moments.
