    LALD


    DN
    SF is indeed more polished, but DN has that iconic touch that SF doesn't possess in the slightest.

    LALD and SF. Each wins in a landslide.

    LALD - Didn't have to put much thought into this one.

    and.... and....

    DN - By the slimmest of margins.

    LALD over AVTAK pretty handily. SF barely edges out DN; both are top tier.

    LALD because it's such an atmospheric film and really stands out from the rest. The score is brilliant, although not any better or worse than AVTAK's so I can't give it the edge on that tbh. Moore's first performance is no doubt greater than his last, but not by much. I can't say that Kananga is superior to Zorin and I enjoy both main Bond girls... So it's a close match-up.

    Skyfall tears DN to shreds. Sure, I can/do enjoy the latter in the context of the time it was made in, though in comparison it is rather weak. The only thing going for it would be Connery's stellar performance. Can't beat that.

    LALD - nothing outstanding but AVTAK is inferior
    SF - Dr. No is great but SF is the best Bond film since FRWL

    LALD beats AVTAK. Fairly easily.

    DN easily beats SF. The latter having far too many plot holes to give it the status that many seem give it.

    Yeah, i have to give this one to Connery too, or rather Young. Can't beat the Master.

    YES! The commonalities only enhance the difference.

    DN soundly beats LALD. FRWL does as well, but it’s a little closer.

    The sheer brilliance of these two films destroys anything that Hamilton ever did in the 70s.

    The first one is very close, 6th and 7th in my rankings, but DN squeaks ahead.

    And FRWL over LALD, right? Sorry, I just have to ask if it is to count.
