TND over MR, but I love them both.

MR > TND - Close call. Love TND - my first cinema Bond, and first to see twice there.
MR
Both are in my top 5
MR has increased in my favours to the extent that it does rival TND...which I'm more fond of than most. I'd call it a tie if I didn't have to decide. And the winner is.........TND.

MR vs TND - Both of these entries are repetitive of earlier, arguably better efforts. Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan are incredibly confident and smooth in these larger than life entries. There's something about MR which just seems more special to me however - perhaps it's that genuine Gilbert touch, I'm not sure. The film has an air of majesty and grace to it in nearly all aspects - it's there in the ethereal nature of Barry's score (which somehow seems to ground the film in space and elevate it on earth), in the magnificence of Adams's last sets, in the beauty of the almost surreal locations which give the film a romantic flavour, and in the otherworldliness of Michael Lonsdale's epic deadpan villain. In many ways it was the end of an era.

Outside of GE I can't stand the PB era so a no brainer for me. MR is far from a favourite but its technical achievements, Michael Lonsdale & Barry's magnificent score make it an easy decision.
FRWL over YOLT is this is a joke? Connery's best up against his second from worst? Don't get me wrong, YOLT's score, cinematography and set design are all top drawer but Connery looks like another actor to the one on display in all his finery in the masterful FRWL.

As with several others, MR and TND both reside toward the end of my ranking. But despite my displeasure at Bond going into space, MR overall has a better look, sound and pace than TND. It also has a fine performance from Sir Rog, and one of the series best villains in Hugo Drax. Therefore, I'll go with MR

MR, love the pre-title stunt, love Roger's performance, love the Rio scenes.

While close, MR offers a better overall package in comparison to TND, despite a great first half from the latter.
Technically MR is a superior film to TND, but MR's inanity gets in the way.

MR beats TND 16-14
Round 77:
GF vs TSWLM
and
TLD vs TND
TLD
Count me in for that.
TLD vs TND - these are very different types of Bond films. One is sort of high tech and modern, and the other is almostly quaintly old fashioned and romantic. They are similar for me in the sense that they both have outstanding first halfs which are let down by the later parts. In this case I go with Dalt's first. It's not a favourite of mine by any means, but when it works, it works incredibly well.
