    OMHSS & LTK. Easy choice for both.

    OHMSS over NSNA and SP over LTK.

    Regarding the second choice, it's more 'LTK is worse than SP' than, say, 'SP is better than LTK'. If that makes sense.

    Thats my viewpoint as well.

    OHMSS. I like NSNA for what it is but c'mon now...

    SP over LTK. SP has its flaws, but can't get behind this notion that it's the worst film.

    LTK

    Two top three entries against two bottom five ones. Not a single shred of doubt.

    Ooh they are getting tougher...

    DN (this is a tough one)

    GE (while nostalgic favouritism can be a powerful criterium, I do believe that Brosnan's first film is far better scripted, better acted, better executed overall. Only in the music could make YOLT win. And of course the volcano... though I must concede that the work of Lamont, Meddings and others is pretty wow too.)

    I'm quite surprised how well SP fared against LTK despite the loss.

    DN over LTK and GE over YOLT.
  • bondjamesbondjames You were expecting someone else?

    DN vs LTK - difficult choice, as they are both excellent stripped down thrillers which I enjoy immensely. To a degree, they are both films ahead. The earlier one established a 50+ year series and the later one brought in an emotional element which EON have been relying on ever since. I give the deserved win to the more iconic earlier film but enjoy both.

    YOLT vs GE - This one is a bit easier for me. I just watched GE last night actually and it remains one of the best Bond films in my opinion, and especially of the past 25 years. I enjoy YOLT for the iconic elements within it, but feel it was a huge step down from the first four films. GE on the other hand introduced Bond to a whole new generation of global fans and ensured that the franchise could survive and thrive in a new environment. It is probably one of the most important Bond films.

    Yes, that's excellently phrased, @bondjames!

    DN over LTK

    GE over YOLT

    I like all these films, but the winners are still clear-cut for me.

    and

    YOLT, for many reasons but Barry's hypnotically beautiful score alone guarantees it wins my vote in this matchup.
