    I will say AVTAK has grown on me a LOT since I first saw it, and of the long running Bond actors, it's easily my favorite of their final films. It has its fair share of issues, but there is a lot to like and it's pretty unique and memorable entry. TSWLM though is Bond perfection and Moore's best film with ease for my taste. The only two Moore films I have some serious struggles with are TMWTGG and MR, both of which have their good stuff, but to me are his weakest.

    TSWLM over AVTAK by a very substantial margin. TSWLM, despite it's flaws, is a classic Bond film. AVTAK is one of the worst films in the series, in my eyes, although it does have nice music.

    CR over GE by a smaller margin. GE is great, but it isn't quite on the level of CR.

    @Thunderfinger,

    I know that. I still rank TSWLM higher than at least 7 or 8 other Bond films so I still like it.

    For me the quality of a Bond film largely depends on its rewatchability. And I guess the RM films are the ones I watch the most.

    Same here, followed by Connery's. They have a light breezy quality to them which makes them quite compelling. GE is the same among the later entries.

    QoS (no competition really)
    SF (Tough! Both movies are in my top 5, but Skyfall is #2 so.)

    By technicalities QoS automatically wins as it's an official Bond film. (I'll unapologetically be using this argument another 23 times, and no, I won't get tired of it.)

    Skyfall wins against Thunderball. Both amazing entries, however.

    NSNA vs QoS - A difficult choice, but I'm going to have to go with NSNA. In many ways it is a film ahead, having brought forward several elements which the official series seems to have borrowed these days, for better or worse (old Bond, OO section relevancy, black Felix, new angry M, lack of Bond theme, s#!t theme song etc. etc.). I really enjoy watching it and it moves up my rankings each time, unlike 'Bourne' QoS which languishes near the bottom without movement. Oh, and there's always Sean Connery & Barbara Carrera in fine form. Hard to beat.

    TB vs SF - both top ten entries for me. Both slow burns. Both beautifully lensed and directed with great characterizations. Both massive global hits. Once again, the brilliance of Sean Connery (this time at his peak) means its an easy win for me.

    QoS - though I find NSNA better than at least six or seven "official" films, and I still find QoS's editing annoying, it just scrapes by
    SF - no real contest for me, I prefer it by two notches over TB

    NSNA has another 22 matches to go.

    QOS over NSNA easily.

    SF over TB, but both are great. #5 vs #9 Bond films for me.

    QoS over NSNA by a comfortable margin.

    SF over TB by an equally comfortable margin.

    NSNA over QOS

    TB over SF

    Obviously in the minority on this one, but at present, QOS is a Bond film I simply don't enjoy that much.
    The colour and glamour of TB, with Connery at the peak of coolness makes it an easy win over SF

    A stroll in the park for QOS.

    SF comfortable but at least TB lands a few blows with Fiona and the location work.
